Damn....she just does the same cities as her last one. Though I'm not complaining...I live in NYC, but she has a lot of fans in places like Seattle, Dallas, Montreal... any info on when tickets go on sale?
I would only go if someone gave me tickets. Pop concerts don't do it for me. Spend all that money and most likely you are a million miles away surrounded by drunk teens watching giant video screens because the singer is too miniscule to see and if they're not lipsyncing, the sound is usually crappy because they can't perform as well without a million takes and hours of editing to create the perfect sound that they could never actually reproduce live.
ZZZZZZZZZ

I agree, Mister Matt. Believe it or not, I went to my first pop concert a year ago (Cher...LOL), and I decided I was definitely a formal concert/theatre guy. First of all, the opening act came on, did about 30 minutes -- and then we waited an hour and a half for Cher to do her thing. Good God. That time was spent with music blaring from the loudspeakers, and a camera scanning the crowd for er, interesting faces and actions. Put a camera on someone that has imbibed a little too much, and you have people making asses of themselves so they can get on the jumbotron.
Then the show started. The concert was truly excellent, I thought -- what a show! But we need to sit down and watch it -- not sing along at the top of our lungs while standing up. (Do I sound old or snobbish, or what? LOL)
Guess a leopard can change their spots. But...I don't begrudge anyone their personal preferences re: concerts. It just ain't for me.
Once again she doesn't come to Greece With the Olympic Games and everything it would be the perfect opportunity ! For the last tour, I had to fly all the way to London to see her ! I was planning to go if she did Italy which is close, but no Italy dates yet. Since I also want to go to NYC again on September, I'll just get the Concert DVD when it comes out, instead of spending a fortune, as much as I adore her !
A family friend got into the last round to be one of her backup dancers.... It would have been so cool if she had made it!! Urgers, curse the other talented people!
Madonna's music has evolved so amazingly over her 20 years that it doesn't surprise me that some people only like the early stuff while others only like the more recent material.
I think her best album is definitely Ray of Light followed very closely by Like A Prayer. And, I suspect the best is yet to come.
