Madonna: The Confessions Tour

This show was so exhausting to watch and there are only two songs "Drowned World/Substitute for Love" and "Paradise (Not for Me)" where you can sit down and just contemplate it all. The opening of this show will go down in history as the most visually thrilling as Madonna enters the stage via a gigantic Swarovski crystal ball that comes down from the ceiling, and the video screens from behind it show images of horses galloping. Horses are in this show due to Madonna falling off one. The infamous scene with Madonna on the cross is in this show as a video screen counts to 12 million the number of how many African children are orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. At the end a website address appears for anyone interested in donating. We then go into the theme of the environment, and again images of politics and religion are shown. There's an interlude and then the show starts to the music of "I Love New York" and "Ray of Light", and this is where the dancers do their impressive hand movements. Towards the end there's "Music" with the song "Disco Inferno" mixed in, and the dancers make more of their presence known. The last two songs are full of energy as the show closes to the music of "Lucky Star" and "Hung Up", and many golden balloons fall from the ceiling before the phrase "Have you confessed?" appears on a video screen. The DVD's bonus content includes tour rehearsal footage, an exclusive photo gallery and a live CD.

Summary: Madonna's Confessions Tour is a visually stunning and thought-provoking show that addresses global issues like HIV/AIDS and environmental concerns. The tour features impressive dance performances and powerful imagery, culminating in an energetic finale.

Well I have to say I had the chance to see this show here in Philadelphia,PA sometime in June of 06.And I really loved it.my all time favorite Madonna look was the 1990 Blond Ambition tour era.this to me is "MADONNA".now that she is a mother of 3 she has to change some things to suit motherhood.and I totally agree.this is a classic Madonna concert.I wish "live to tell" wasn't edited.we saw body's falling from buildings on 911,we can see a woman on a cross...any way I'm looking forward to the release of this tour on DVD and hope it is the entire show unedited and with a bunch of bonus footage.she is a artist of all time.the best out there...and still at the top and going strong.long live MADONNA !

This concert is the type of concert that only comes around every twenty years or so, Madonna's Confessions on a dance floor era will certainly be remembered as one of the high points of her career. She's 48 and she looks simply divine, she keeps up with the dancers that are almost twenty years her junior. I am also very glad to report that all the songs were sung live, which is good because she actually sounds better live. Each song was so unique, the visuals where stunning. The performance of 'Live to tell' was fantastic and had me awestruck, 'Isaac' was exotic and gorgeous and was rich with political symbolism, the Arabic horn, the American eagle set free. I particularly liked the rockin performance of 'I Love New York', i almost stood up in my lounge room and cheered when she told her critics to suck George Bushes ****. And then again i was impressed by the 70's inspired music (inferno remix). This Spectacular decedent Concert made a fan out of me.

Verdict: Highly Recommended with a Capital H.

The reason why Madonna is known for being the queen of pop. Amazing concert.

The show was amazing and very professional. Madonna is a non-stop, dancing and singing for 2 hours. The opening was pretty good when she came out of the disco ball and also jump was a really good performance. The entire show was full of energy so it's kind of hard to say which were the highlights because every song had something special and unique. I saw live couple of her previous tours (Drowned world and reinvention tour)they were good but you can't compare with this one. The dancers were fantastic, the lights and the whole show were just perfect. Madonna still looks very good. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you to see it. You'll enjoy the show from the beginning to the end. Madonna is still the dancing queen.
