Gaudet Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 From a walkman placed on the floor?? Gosh, better quality than any improvised digital recording I have heard in recent years! Love love love Dress You Up!
Sloane Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 This is cool. Dress You Up is still one of my favorites. Disappointed this wasn't a video though
jonski43 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 There's still so much out there that needs to leak!!!!!!!!!! Awesome thanks!
MPowered Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I'm dying to hear the rehearsed version of Love Don't Live Here Anymore they did.
Jamesy Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Very nice!! This seems to be from tapes sold on eBay last year by a Virgin Tour band member. As well as rehearsals he sold some audio tapes of full soundboard recordings from a few different shows. No videos though. :-(
madonnasuperfan01 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I honestly think Dress You Up is the best song on Like a Virgin. I just can't get enough of it.
VogueMusic Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 For people who say she 'can't sing'...fuck that. The vocals were raw and beautiful on this. My god...
jonski43 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I thought this leaked ages ago??? Only rehearsals of Borderline and Burning Up for VT have ever leaked before now as far as I'm aware. Complete soundboard and live recordings for some live shows like Los Angeles have been around for years though. I got Chicago in the early 90s on CD.
unruhe Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 is there a list of all the soundboard shows that leaked tour by tour? On top of the officialy released ones
ryan Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 I thought this leaked ages ago??? Nope. These are the very first rehearsals. Notice the dates posted. The compositions are different too.
Guest Ivy Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I'm dying to hear the rehearsed version of Love Don't Live Here Anymore they did. Is this true???????????????? never heard of this one before: faints- best song on LAV!
ryan Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Is this true???????????????? never heard of this one before: faints- best song on LAV! There were written notes by M that surfaced that had ideas for the performance.
Guest Ivy Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 There were written notes by M that surfaced that had ideas for the performance. and actually rehearsed? This is up their with the anonymous I Want You from the DWT
MPowered Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I bet they rehearsed Physical Attraction too. I can literally picture it in my head.
jonski43 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Nope. These are the very first rehearsals. Notice the dates posted. The compositions are different too. Oh these are US date format! I'd forgotten that. So it's 7th January? Did she start rehearsals that early? The tour started 10th April. LAV was still in the charts!
jonski43 Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Sticky and Sweet rehearsals were three months and that's a far more complicated show than VT. She could have knocked this one out in a few weeks. I meant, it seems so strange that it was so early in the LAV era that a tour was being put together. There was very little info on the tour at the time. There was just the DYU video late in the year so the period time-shifts for me. Looking back at the early years, I just seems odd when one era is taking place and we found out she was working on another. So, for me 84 is all about the first album but LAV was already in the can by summer. 85 was DSS, ITG and LAV LP but she was working on TB. It's not the same since the internet. Now we know when she's in the studios. In the 80s, we never really new much until an album dropped so they were more fixed in their start / end points.
ryan Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Well, this was 1985, the band had to learn all the arrangements, instead of today's terms where they just push a button.
