WHAT AN AMAZING EVENING. First let me start by saying that I will never forget for as long as I live that I was at the opening night for this fabulous concert. My feet will probaly never forget it either.
The concert was scheduled to beging at 8. At around 8:15 the lights went to black out , the crowd went insane and the huge ( and I mean huge) led screens immediately started projecting the spiritual images that would be the theme throughout the evening. Madonna made her entrance being risen on the stage. VOGUE magically opened the show and set the mood for the rest of the evening. The place was rocking and Madonna sounded and looked incredible. She then went into NOBODY KNOWS ME, and FROZEN. AMERICAN LIFE was sensational. The dancers came out in soilder uniforms and weapons (AND THEY WERE THE HOTTEST BOYS). EXPRESS YOURSELF, BURNING UP and MATERIA GIRL followed . The incredible set consisting of a huge turntable and cage like lifts at either side and a huge platform wich enabled Madonna and her dancers to go out on and above the audience and at eye level of the second level seating was put to good use throughout. Then there was a transition with this skateboard routine and then she appeared with her guitar for Hollywood. Followed by a showstopping HANKY PANKY. ( You all have to forgive me. There was alot of songs packed into the two hours and I am trying to remeber everything) DEEPER AND DEEPER and DIE ANOTHER DAY shook the place up. She then made a very quick change and was raised again from a lift for THE LAMENT from Evita. BEDTIME STORIES was the only number I think I sat for. Don't tell me started things cooking again and then she tore the roof off the place with LIKE A PRAYER. MOTHER AND FATHER was full of spiritualism and images of freedom and anti war sentiment. Then she did a beautiful rendition of the beatles IMAGINE ( It was very moving). Then she wentr back to rocking the place with INTO THE GROOVE, PAPAP DON'T PREACH, CRAZY FOR YOU, MUSIC, and she closed with HOLIDAY. The show was heavily anti-war and anti Bush. But it wasn't anything she said . Actually that was my one minor complaint. She sang throughout and didn't talk to the audience at all except for a brief "Hello LA". Her outfits went from Kilts, to Kabbalah t - shirts. to plain white t shirt. She was on stage for all of the 2 hours. this wasn't one of those sing for 15 minutes and then change for 5 minute concerts. Her very few changes occured in only minutes. MAdonnas voice has never sounded better and she looks beautiful. The woman gave it her all. GO!!!!!! You will want to go more than once. ( I will write more tomorrow. I must go to bed)
There was alot more... but I will put those details tommorrow. I am so tired.
