For anyone out there saying that Madonna is over needs to watch this amazing concert. Madonna was 48 when this was filmed and her body is in amazing shape and her voice sounds better than ever (and yes she IS singing live). I saw this show 4 times in Chicago and I was wondering how they were going to capture that whole essence of her performance because visually there was so much going on but this DVD captures everything. From the opening notes of Future Lovers and to the last notes of Hung Up, Madonna will take you on a journey that will blow your mind. The fact that NBC cut out the scenes of Madonna on the cross during "Live To Tell" just shows that they didn't get it, there is a whole message there, that was positive, but all they saw was her on the cross. Madonna always has a message and it is always a positive one. This tour consists of the majority of her amazing CD "Confessions on a Dance Floor" but she throws in many oldies but goodies like, Lucky Star, Like a Virgin, Live to Tell, Music, Erotica and Bedtime Story. The only way to experience a Madonna concert is to see it in person, but this is the next best thing. Hopefully her record company will release her Blond Ambiton and ReInvention Tours on DVD in the near future as those were her best 2 tours, but this tour is right up there with both of those. Do yourself a favor and get this DVD which also comes with a bonus CD with a selection of live tracks from the show.
This show is amazing, pure and simple. This show has caused me to fall in love with the song “Like A Virgin.” I actually think she sings it better now that she’s older. And how about Erotica? Whew, that was HOT. The only criticism that I could possibly give Madonna is not including all of the songs featured in her album, namely “Push,” and “Fighting Spirit.” I just love these songs. I would have much rather have seen these songs instead of “Future Lovers,” but that’s just me. It is a sin to have not released “Ray of Light,"Forbidden Love," and "Get Together” on the CD, as they were such wonderful performances. Also, I was slightly diappointed in her performance of “Sorry." If you look closely on the DVD, she is clearly off on her choreography. She also sounds kind of nasally. It was the same case with “Lucky Star." I still LOVE both of these songs, however. My final message is this: this is a must have for ANY Madonna fan! I urge everyone to buy it. It’s well worth the price. Trust me!
AMAZING!!! The best of Madonnas collections. You will not be disappointed. Top notch entertainment the whole way through, tons of energy. A great production. There is no down side except you wish it ws 3 hours long.
saw the tour live and it was jaw dropping. this cd/dvd set is awesome. you would expect nothing less from madonna than putting on an amazing show time and time again.
The DVD was not included with the CD. The description says there is a DVD that comes with the CD. My wife wanted the DVD more than the CD. I wrote to the seller, but never got a reply.
I saw Madonna's Confessions Tour concert live in Boston on July 6th, 2006. This DVD was a great representation of the concert experience I saw first-hand. It highlights a lot more of the Material Girl than what I was even able to see live. There were so many things going on all over the stage at any given moment and this DVD allows me to see some things I missed at the concert I attended. The DVD is absolutely worth the purchase price.
The CD, on the other hand, was somewhat lacking. Yes, it had the more famous songs on there, but it was missing other songs that I liked, such as Forbidden Love. Otherwise it was quite good. I think they could have had all the songs on the CD, perhaps in a two-CD format.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes Madonna, especially her Confessions on a Dancefloor album. I will admit, I was not a big Madonna fan until her confessions CD came out.
Bought this album because i'm a madonna fan. Have been since she first hit the scene. This album does not dissapoint. I love her remixes as well. Hear them all over the clubs.
I bought this DVD/CD for a friend for his 21st Birthday. He learns the dance moves and gets exerciose at the same time. My review? I have never seen my 21 year old friend any happier than he was the day I gave it to him.
