www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-41269047BBC interview
Twenty-seven years ago, Madonna set the template for modern pop concerts with her Blond Ambition world tour. From its hydraulic stage to Jean-Paul Gaultier's iconic costumes, it raised the bar for stadium-sized spectacle. Now, after seven huge world tours, the star tells the BBC she's "exploring" a smaller-scale show in the future. "I've done so many shows - world tours, stadiums, sports arenas, you name it - that I feel like I have to reinvent that now too," she explains. "I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience. "This is something I'm exploring right now: the idea of doing a show that doesn't travel the world, but stays in one place and utilises not only humour and the music in a more intimate setting but other people's music, as well, and other entertainment. "Kind of a revolving door of amazing, gifted, unique talent - dancers, musicians, singers, comedians, me, humour. I don't know! Like, I'm trying to come up with all those ideas now." The concerts will presumably owe much to the vaudeville-style Tears of a Clown show that Madonna performed twice in 2016 - once as a gift to fans in Australia, and again at a fundraiser for her Raising Malawi charity The low-key gigs featured the pop icon dressed as a clown, riding a tricycle, chatting to the audience and telling jokes when not performing stripped-back renditions of some of her favourite songs. Footage of the Australian concert appears on the star's new DVD, released on Friday, which documents her 2015-16 Rebel Heart Tour. In an exclusive interview with BBC News, she talked about touring life, changing attitudes to sex, and her recent dispute with a courier company...
Read the full interview on the link above. I really hope she does this. The Tears Of A Clown show (it's on You Tube) was fantastic. Buying Rebel Heart double CD today

Liberian Girl (and anyone else who cares) Get the DVD & CD, it's excellent. Just listened to the CD today, it's the full show and the old songs sound so new & fresh and the newer stuff is given a new lease of life also. Not as good as Blonde Ambition, The Girlie Show or Reinvention (my 3 favourite tours of hers) but still great. True Blue (a song I never really cared for) sounds so beautiful on the ukelele.

I can't wait to see it. I have all the other shows on DVD. My favourite tour so far was either Drowned World or Confessions, but she always delivers something fresh and unique every time, so I will definitely be adding this to my collection.
Nobody else comes close, in terms of delivering such a creative, eye-popping spectacle of a pop show as Madonna.

TonyR , how does the concert look? Is it heavily edited with visual effects, like MDNA? I saw it the other day -the CD/DVD- in the shops. I might pick it up. I'm hoping it's not as visually edited as MDNA.

I'm hoping it's not as visually edited as MDNA. Yes, unfortunately it is. Really annoying. I haven't bought it, I saw the Showtime version on YouTube & the comments for the DVD on Amazon say it's an extended version of that.
So fecking annoying, like crowd shots in MJ's Bucharest. Just show the bloody concert & stop over thinking it.
I have bought the CD though which is great especially the 80s & 90s stuff. For the first time it's the entire show on CD.

Oh! I'll check out the Showtime version on YouTube. The CD option sounds good. Does the CD/DVD package contain the entire show on CD, or is that only the CD only version? I would still like the concert but like yourself I would just like the basic concert without the heavy use of visuals. Perhaps she sees the DVD as its own separate thing from actually being at the concert but I would just love if she put out a show stripped of effects. I didn't buy MDNA concert over it, its a bit too distracting and a lot for the eyes to take in. |

Well worth it though as well as the new stuff, great versions of:
True Blue (not normally a song I like, but just M & her ukelele!) Deeper & Deeper Music Candy Shop Dress You Up

Oh man, great to see Dress You Up on there. So the CD and concert separately to own everything. I'll probably go with the CD and wait for the bluray to come down a bit. 😎 |
