Guest material_boy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What songs didn't really grab you until you heard them live for the first time? For me, it was "Candy Perfume Girl." I liked "CPG" just fine when it first came out, but I didn't really love it until I saw the Drowned World Tour. That punk rock attitude, the guitar on stage for the first time ... God, I loved everything about it and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the song. Still today, I think of it as one of the highlights of the "ROL" album.

karbatal Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Candy Shop MDNA. I simply love the song now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest material_boy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Oh, "Why's it so Hard?" Album version feels a bit slow for me, but the queen spits fire when doing it live. God, it's just perfect. "Celebration" -- have never liked the original version or its remixes, but the live version is FIERCE. I cannot wait for the new tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Have to say "Bitch, I'm Madonna". Not that I didn't like it, I thought it was fun, a bit crazy and enjoyed it. However, was not one of my favourite songs. Since I saw her doing it on Jimny Fallon though, it has gone up to a top notch level. Her energy and performance was so incredible and contagious that it is now one of my favourites on Rebel Heart. The Power of Madonna. Also Sooner or Later. I love the I'm Breathless album and liked this song but after that Oscar's performance - again took it to a new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtangi74 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Girl gone wild, i really dint like when i heard it first and didnt understand why it became a single, but the live performance with the opening, the stage, the attitude....i love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 oh yeah i don't give a fuck is so cool live. turn up the radio is nice too on the dvd. but honestly, any song can go from bad to great when you add the theatrics of the MDNA intro to it the Kalakan trio were so haunting.. I loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 O'h, just realized that this thread is about hearing songs live on stage, not watching live performances on screen. My earliest post is a bit out of place but o'h well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promise to try Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 For me, CAC, I foubnd the cd version lame, lacking something, and live has been always full of energy.Same with Holiday,I know it´s one of her classics, but I only enjoy it in its live versions.Of course, as somebody has said Candy shop, and Nobody knows me!!

This is the first song I thought about when I read the thread title. That performance blew me away and really brought the song to life. Candy Shop is another one - I liked it before but S&S made me really fall in love... then MDNA made it even better. Love the sexy confident energy she brought to both tour performances.

madmark Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 "Bitch I'm Madonna" for sure! She really brought it home. "Get Together" on Star Academy... I mean, I already loved the song, but this performance really gave the song everything it needed with the crowd reaction! I had to show that performance to so many friends and they all loved the song immediately. "Why's it so Hard" on the Girlie Show, I'll second that one! "Give Me all Your Lovin" on the MDNA tour really showed what a force this song could be when transformed, marching band from the ceiling, etc. "She's Not Me", S&S tour, really gave the song an extra cheekiness. Oh, and I actually only saw the last two mentioned live... but even seeing performaces on youtube/DVD can translate the feelings of what she is trying to do live.

nick00 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 For me personally, the look of love! Always thought the song was ok and never heard it until a couple of years ago, but M performance during WTG was heartfelt and wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nefarious Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 'Everybody' from The Girlie Show 'Rain' from The Girlie Show 'Paradise (Not For Me)' from Confessions Tour Also her interludes always make me see the songs in a whole new way, like the 'Sorry' remix from the Confessions Tour and 'Get Stupid' from S&S which made me appreciate the lyrics of Beat Goes On even more.
