New Tour Setlist (reports from rehearsals - SPOILERS)

[Guest]

Don't get confused by the different setlists. It's not that there's a partial truth in each of them - one is true - the others aren't. If they get something right it's a matter of luck.

Mixing all the fake setlists won't give us the real one.

[Louise Oriole]

So, based on m.d.n.a's list, rumors from MRama & MTribe forum, this is more or less the set list then:

PART 1: TRANSGRESSION

1. Religious Intro [starts with spoken part from ggw, has sounds of church bells/ religious-catholic-kabbalah references]

2. Girl Gone Wild [includes the Act of Contrition intro and also has a new instrumental part featuring whip-sounds and even some Material Girl lyrics]

3. Revolver [feat. Lil Wayne, who will appear in the backdrop video] Same high-pitched vocals from the "original" version?

4. Gang Bang [whip and gun shot sounds through out]

5. Papa Don't Preach [Edited version]

Best Friend Video Interlude (contains Heartbeat lyrics) Two weak songs when she has so many great ones.

PART 2: ?

6. Hung Up (sounds completely different from what we've heard before; reworked to fit the theme of the MDNA tour)

7. I Don't Give A (on guitar)

8. Express Yourself (mixed with born this way with she's not me at the end) NO. JUST NO.

9. Give Me All Your Luvin [Just Blaze Remix]

10. Turn Up The Radio (on guitar)

Justify My Love - Video Interlude [William Orbit Remix][shows madonna in underwear wearing a mask with a whip looks like tod perfume advert, carnival freaks chasing her/she hides in some room. new remix with different pitched vocals that feature a devilish laugh throughout the mix] -----Sigh. Way to ruin it. She's probably going to sound like she does on GGW & Redvulva

PART 3: ?

11. Open Your Heart (sounds like how it was performed during the superbowl but the whole song & feat. Kalakan [sagarro Jo])---Meh.

12. Masterpiece [has a more prominent violin sound] She has much better ballads and she chose this thing?

13. Vogue (sounds similar to super bowl performance)

14. Candy Shop (60's or 70's type-vibe with samples of erotica) No Candy Shop. Erotica can stay though.

15. Human Nature

Nobody Knows Me Video Interlude

PART 4: ?

16. I'm Addicted

17. I'm A Sinner / Cyber-Raga Mash-Up ...meh

18. Like A Prayer (sounds similar to super bowl performance - return of church bell sounds; choir part by Kalakan)

19. Like A Virgin

20. Celebration [benny Benassi Mix]

Way too short. Feels uneventful. On paper, the first section seems to be the most "interesting"... so at least there's that. This better not be S&ST all over again. I didn't even know Dago Gonzalez had worked on the S&ST. How can you go from the great stuff he did for the DWT & RIT to the S&ST mess?

[MPowered]

So, looks like the setlist's gonna be this:

I. TRANSGRESSION

1. Girl Gone Wild*/Material Girl

2. Revolver**

3. Gang Bang*

4. Papa Don't Preach

5. Best Friend*/Heartbeat - Interlude (dark, death-themed, ends with M's lover's heartbeat stopping)

II.

6. Hung Up

7. I Don't Give A*

8. Express Yourself

9. Give Me All Your Luvin'*

22. I'm a Sinner*/Cyber-raga

23. Everybody

One word: DISAPPOINTING!!!!

I would change:

1. Girl Gone Wild*/Material Girl

[MadFan]

8. Express Yourself (mixed with born this way with she's not me at the end)

Shots fired!

(anything you hear Nicki on that's fire)

[XXL]

I just hope the EY mixed with Bored This Way rumour is not true

[TRVC]

This set list is EVERYTHING.

[Guest bluejean]

I hope she DOES do Like a Virgin in its original form. That song is one of her biggest classics and she hasn't done it toward the end a show in its original form since The Virgin Tour.

Plus she can't have her oldest hits be Papa Don't Preach and Open Your Heart, those casual goers will be disappointed.

I say end the show like this:

Like a Prayer

Like a Virgin

Celebration

Holiday

There is room for afew more songs!

[NobodyKnowsMe]

Love Spent is not in the setlist.

[Beastialg]

That setlist is actually much stronger that the similar one posted before. Where did you get it?

I'm still not crazy about Candy Shop and Human Nature (and I hope Candy Shop is more Erotica than anything else) but I wanted Love Spent and Everybody in and I'm happy to see those again on the list.

The first and last section look very strong, but I feel the Carnival one looks so weird that I'm interested to see what she does there.

Also, what do the asterisks mean?

[San]

I. TRANSGRESSION

1. Girl Gone Wild*/Material Girl

2. Revolver**

3. Gang Bang*

4. Papa Don't Preach

5. Best Friend*/Heartbeat - Interlude (dark, death-themed, ends with M's lover's heartbeat stopping) ?Interlude?

II.

6. Hung Up

7. I Don't Give A*

8. Express Yourself

9. Give Me All Your Luvin'*

10. Turn Up the Radio*

?Interlude? - linked with OYH intro..

III.

11. Intro/Open Your Heart

12. Masterpiece*

13. Love Spent*

14. Justify My Love - Interlude

20. I'm Addicted*

21. Like a Prayer

22. I'm a Sinner*/Cyber-raga

23. Everybody

24. Celebration**

Nup - I'm content with this. I suppose I will tolerate Human Nature and Candy Shart simply because of the /Erotica bit. Can't really ask for more.

Where did this come from?

[mdna2012]

I've been updated.. the setlist i posted is still it and the only changes made were minor changes in mixes of songs. No love spent, no some girls.

[Butter9]

But we have Candy Shop which is EveryThaaaaannnngg. ( Not really ) .

I hope she doesn't do EY with BTW. What would be the point ?

[pasqual]

Third section only 3 songs? Thats short

[find_a_groove]

I've been updated.. the setlist i posted is still it and the only changes made were minor changes in mixes of songs. No love spent, no some girls.

Can you please re-post your set list? There's so many on here that when I try and search for it my brain begins to fry

originally i'm a sinner did have elements of shanti/ashtangi but it's definitely been changed to cyberraga.

re: JML and saying there are no new vocals. In the WO 12" mix there are some high-pitched vocals used that were very girly which I'm assuming are possibly what is being used here. I think this is the song I'm most looking forward to hearing! Love my remixes.

And actually I am wondering how Candy Shop will sound with Erotica mixed in:

'Erotic, Erotic, put your Turkish Delight all over my body'. Can't wait for that one!

Yea, I'm very excited to hear this too and how they reworked candy shop with samples of erotica.

[Guest Xanthium]

Honestly I cannot judge the setlist on paper because we have no way of knowing how each song will sound. She usually updates her older songs really well. I mean, Like A Virgin from Confessions is one of her most amazing performances IMO and the updated version of the song is EPIC. So we complain about a certain song right now but it could be AMAZEBALLS once all is revealed. Of course there is some garbage no matter what. We don't need to see the rock version of Ray Of Light again to know it would be rehashed shit on toast.

[cosmic_system]

Candy Shop with elements of Erotica sounds really interesting to me. I'm a little bit tired of Human Nature, but I hope it's a dance number. I was dreaming of Bedtime Story or Secret and I was curious about Take A Bow. She must really hate that song, her biggest US hit never performed on tour.

I hate that she mentioned Physical Attraction during the Facebook interview and it's not on set list. It's weird there is no Everybody, and no songs from ROL too. The set list looks short, I don't know. I'm sure live everything will be amazing, but no Love Spent is a crime, and as much as I love Best Friend, I think it's a little bit random as a video interlude.

Like previously mentioned, Physical Attraction was in the setlist at one point - it was mixed with another song - but it was scrapped.

I don't think she hates Take A Bow, she once talked about how performing Take A Bow (and The Power Of Goodbye) on tour, and how they sound like "farewell" songs. I think that's why she's against them, cos she isn't going nowhere!

[cosmic_system]

Well, I think it's a stupid reason.

[BangGangUK]

Revolver, Candy Shop, Human Nature??!! What the hell is she thinking? From her entire rich back-catalogue she chooses these turkeys.

Oh Madonna, you're losing it more and more. Also, the reworkings with Kalakan sound dismal.

Am selling my tickets.

[Guest bluejean]

Well, I think it's a stupid reason.

It IS a stupid reason. Same goes for I'll Remember. And so what if some idiots take them as farewell songs. They aren't. Did people think she was saying farewell when she released 'Take a Bow?' No.

Candy Shop in 60s/70s vibe with elements of Erotica. Can't wait.

[MPowered]

Ok...I'm praying that this "real" setlist is not true...

1. It's too short in general and has section with only two or three songs (a LITTLE under two hours or a LITTLE OVER two hours?)

2. most of the songs have been featured on her last tour

3. I remember we had a lot of "real" setlist that were posted by "reliable" sources like drownedmadonna and MadonnaTribe and guess what, they turned out to be fake

4. no songs from The First Album, Like a Virgin, Erotica, Ray of Light and Music??!! That can't be true! c'mon!

5. RETURN of CANDY SHOP & HUMAN NATURE?????!!!! WTF, Madonna?????!!!

Papa Don't Preach (last performed 2004)

Hung Up (last performed 2008)

[mdna2012]

New info: There was a version of Like a virgin played on piano made but it didn't make the final setlist so whoever mentioned there being another song from the 80's or whatever from those polls from Madonna's fb was kind of right.. it just didn't make the cut. Girl gone wild is kind of sampled throughout the whole show like 4 minutes was in the S&S tour.

I don't think people know what songs are apart of each section. I'll gladly take candy shop and human nature over rol and music being performed. I'm sure she has samples of songs from all of those albums mixed in the tour somewhere.

[NobodyKnowsMe]

So there could still be some more songs we don't know about? Cos the second "section" seems hella short, where the others seem about right.

Edited May 11, 2012 by NobodyKnowsMe

[Ai Papi Si.]

Blah I am so sick of all the speculation. I want an official setlist thing NOW. And I want at least one more MDNA song on it. 8 is too little. (I don't count the terrible Best Friend, that'll be a hot dog moment for me)
