ryan Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I may be wrong, but I feel like there is something off with that video... Whoever "remastered" it, it's like they took the audio from a different show, it doesn't match up 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimos Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Nice to see an early attempt at a video backdrop. And I love the simplicity of it all. Very refreshing. I'm going to dig out the Ciao Italia DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I don't think I've ever watched this show completely from beginning to end and I don't think I want to. It's worth it. For many people here that were fans since youth, this vhs had many replays throughout peoples childhood. Highlights: Open Your Heart, White Heat, Lucky Star, Papa Don't Preach, Look of Love, Who's That Girl, Holiday. It's her first tour to use a video backdrop. (well VT did use projections during the intro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of that about this tour appeals to me. I respect it, but it's not for me. I will continue to wear the tshirt I have with the logo for this tour on it, though.

adreeyen Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If it makes you feel any worse better, I have similar (but still varied) feelings about all tours pre-Confessions (excluding VT). The Papa Don't Preach performance in the original post is aight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Strong performance- she actually was quite strong, vocally, compared to the prior tour. Love when the guitar takes over around 3:14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabl0114 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I don't think I've ever watched this show completely from beginning to end and I don't think I want to. It's a religious experience, you will be a different person afterwards. This is when she became a global superstar. No screen, yes! Full live band, yes! The dancing, yes! That body, yes!

neutrocks Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I don't think I've ever watched this show completely from beginning to end and I don't think I want to. Wow! I would think anything from this era would be essential listening/watching for all fans. This was an awesome time to be a fan. Everything she released seemed to turn to gold. She was climbing that "Mega Star" ladder at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacho Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I prefer her later tours, but I really enjoy that in her early tours how eager she is to prove herself and is awestruck like a little kid by her newfound massive megastar power. It's so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Who's That Girl Tour is highly underrated if you ask me. Sure it doesn't have the special effects and troop of backup dancers like her later tours, but to me its Madonna doing what she does best. Pretty much by and large owning the stage on her own performing her ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should give it a chance because it's amazing. That's where you can see and feel how this woman is very incredible on stage. She gives everything she has. Raw and perfect.

She gives everything she has. Raw and perfect. It's cool to see how much her shows have changed tour by tour, especially with this one. You also notice so many things (and in VT too) that she has done again in her more recent tours. I think people have forgotten that Confessions wasn't the first time she humped a boombox.

VogueMusic Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I can't believe people would pass over the Who's That Girl era and tour.... it really was when she became the 'mega global superstar'...which then lead to the god-like status of BA. This was when she really established how powerful and serious she was about her performance. Yes, the precursor to the theatrics and (later) video screens is all here...but the focus is Madonna and her sheer raw drive to be the best she could be. And it's of a time when big, full bands played out great live music on stage tours. And you get Causing A Commotion, Who's That Girl, Papa Don't Preach, Open Your Heart, Live To Tell, etc....and the 'reinventing' of the sound of her already classic early hits even started here. Plus, there was a lightness...an innocence...in this era that she was still taking in and being amazed herself at what she was becoming. ps. Don't read youtube comments.

IsaacHarris Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm convulsing @ those vocals during 1:58 - 2:13 'Whut I need rite nah, is some GEWD ADVIIIIIIIICE! PLEEEEEEASE!" This clip is EXACTLY what I want & need from Madonna, from the stripped down stage to the unhinged vocals (even the hair-do & the poofy skirt). She's eternal, but there's just something about that 80's era that can't be matched. The energy. The passion. The VOICE! I'd give anything to telaport through space n' time to see her first two live tours. And Adreeeeeyan, WTG is definitely her 3rd best tour EVER so get with the program!
