TearsInHeaven Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 i told you i was a falcon! i did not like the whole set very much when it first aired on MTV but now i love it, considering AL is my favorite album! Her voice is actually on point, her look lovely and she played Like A Prayer after soo many years ( 13 years if i am not wrong, correct me if i am) You know Madge was not very open on performing oldies at that time, therefore being a brand new young fan i was resigned not to hear LAP, Vogue, EY etc anymore Listening to LAP was a total surprise, this version is great and the choir sounds fantastic too.Honorable mention to Madiva in the crowd I post the videos of all individual performances, the audio is pretty good apart for few moments during Nothing Fails unfortunately.American Life Hollywood Nothing Fails Like A Prayer X-Static Process Any thoughts on it? did you like it at the time? what do you think now?

Raf Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I was so excited to see her perform LAP, but Nothing Fails was my favorite! I loved this set and she looked beautiful that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think I cried a little bit when she did LAP after so many years. I loved the setlist, and AL is one of my favorite albums she's ever made, primarily because it's so introspective and in many ways fearless in its honesty...so looking back on it after all these years is like replaying a big group therapy session.

You know being young and naif i was disappointed M did not hit big with AL as she did with Music and ROL, i think this spoiled my whole experience for the era. oh how much i want M to perform something from AL again!

nimos Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes I remember downloading this back in the day (no YouTube of course) and being amazed that she was performing an old song after so many years. Not fond of this rather plodding arrangement of LAP but it does sound good with the choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick00 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Favorites include Nothing Fails & X Static Process from that day. AL album appears to have become a fan favorite, but I remember at the time the album really polarized fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Tears In heaven, this is wonderful. Madonna sings beautifully and it is such an intimate setting. Wish I could have been in the audience. What a treat for the fans that were there. It is criminal how much the American Life album has been under-appreciated but it now seems to get the love it deserves.

5iVe Elements Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I love this. And I know most fans will not agree but I wish she'd do a larger acoustic gig sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooncrown11 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I remember watching this on MTV when it aired. She sounded amazing and I loved the small intimate setting. It was amazing to hear LAP live again after so many years. I wish she would do more promo and performances like this in the future. Thanks for sharing and reminding us of this awesome show!

Mad_On_Her Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I loved this performance as well! LAP being my favourite. cant believe Madonna waited 13 years to sing it again live. Like A Prayer and Live To Tell would have fit in perfectly in DWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
