So it would appear that Ghosttown is a permanent addition to the setlist. She has performed it on every date since Brooklyn. I am so sad to have missed it. I went to the first date at MSG.
Oh well, I can see it on the DVD. Based on her prior release schedules with concert DVDs, I would expect it to be released at the end of next year.

She didn't perform Ghosttown last night in Bosten and she didn't perform WTG at the Philly show. I believe she is going to mix it up a bit with RH and classic songs during that section. I'm still praying she performs Joan of Arc which would fit perfectly in the tour.

^So the Boston differences were that WTG was back in the setlist and "Ghosttown" was not?

Yep- even the couple that had some negativity in them (not surprising for the Philly Inquirer one, based on his past articles) had a good amount of positivity.

I actually prefer having WTG to GT for sentimental reasons but it would be nice if the DVD had bonus features with all the occasional songs.

Another great review from The Boston Globe :o http://www.bostonglo...l?event=event25 THE BOSTON GLOBE
Madonna performs at TD Garden in Boston Saturday. (Winslow Townson for The Boston Globe)
By James Reed GLOBE STAFF SEPTEMBER 27, 2015 Truth or dare?
Truth: Madonna’s performance at TD Garden on Saturday night was a crowning achievement in a year that has unjustly denied her such moments.
Let me put it this way. The narrative surrounding Madonna in 2015 has not exactly been kind to the 57-year-old pop icon. You would think by now she has earned the right, and the public’s trust, to be whomever she wants. And yet the older she gets, the more she has to counter sexist questions of why she’s not acting her age (“I am,” she has said) and what is left for her to do.
Those critiques faded inside the Garden as Madonna reasserted a longstanding hallmark of her career: She is at her best and fights her hardest the minute you count her out.
“Tell me I’m no good/ And I’ll be great,” she sang on the opening “Iconic,” a battle cry from this year’s “Rebel Heart,” a very good pop album that deserved to sell more than it did.
The accompanying Rebel Heart Tour reveals a softer, more reflective Madonna who’s celebrating her legacy while forging her future in the genre. There is no blueprint for her trajectory, so, critics be damned, she’s blazing her own.
And she’s obviously having so much fun right alongside her fans. This new tour is a window into Madonna as both deity and human being. It was heavy on spectacle brought to life by a band, her many elastic dancers, glitzy costumes, and streamlined set pieces that kept the production stylish and fluid.
The show also allowed Madonna to appear exposed. Three songs in, she stalked the runway extension of the stage alone with an electric guitar as she sang “Burning Up,” an early club classic. My jaw dropped when she dug into “Like a Virgin,” once again by herself on the catwalk, simply dancing and singing and making eye contact with the audience. It was poignant to see an established artist revisiting her roots and engaging with them all over again.
She also found fresh ways to enliven hits that are now decades old while connecting the dots to more recent work. A matador theme set the tone for “Living for Love,” her latest hit, which segued into the flamenco beat of “La Isla Bonita.” It was a seamless setup for a Mexican-tinged revamping of “Dress You Up” that mashed in snippets of “Into the Groove” and “Lucky Star.”
Fans will forever quibble with the set list, but this tour gets the balance right, from the thumping groove of “Deeper and Deeper” to the closing euphoria of “Holiday.” Madonna opened the vaults, dusting off favorites she hasn’t performed on tour since the mid-’80s. On acoustic guitar, she reclaimed “Who’s That Girl” as an introspective ballad, and with Madonna strumming ukulele, “True Blue” featured her most stirring vocal of the evening.
She delivered “La vie en rose,” the Edith Piaf classic, in its original French, leading you to wonder why she hasn’t reinvented herself as a supper-club chanteuse. She dedicated the song to her son David, who turned 10 on Saturday, and then brought him out to dance for the audience. It was a sweet mother-son moment that was suddenly comical when you realized the song she was singing: “Unapologetic Bitch.” (See? Some things never change.)
With the pope visiting the US, it was prime time for Madonna to stir the pot with some blasphemy. On “Holy Water,” a reference to what a certain part of her body tastes like, her female dancers donned nun’s habits and twerked on stripper poles shaped like crosses.
Having seen her live a handful of times over the past decade, I admit I’m guilty of wondering how much longer Madonna can pull off such a demanding and youthful pageantry.
Truth: She can — and will — do it as damn well long as she wants.

No end for the love bestowed upon Her Madgesty. RE that reviewer who said he didn't know "Holiday" was patriotic- yes, that and not just for the USA, but the world itself. As I've said many times before, beneath the fun, frothy surface, beneath the surface...

She is the undisputed Queen, the matriarch of music, entertainment and culture. And she'll only stop when she's good and ready- and it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon.

^To think that some suggested M should switch to a behind the scenes role writing and producing for young acts. Please, as if anyone in the world of any age could perform M's music better than she herself could (and look as gorgeous while doing it).

There is only queen and that is Madonna. Cannot wait to see her live. i saw her at MSG. I think you mentioned that you will see her in Atlanta? I'm telling you this tour is absolutely awe inspiring. You will feel like she is singing and talking to you personally. The intimate presence of her during this tour is undeniable. Her vocals, her set list, her visuals are superb. Rebel Heart tour is the first tour Ive noticed that the audience is fixated on her amazing talent from beginning to end. You will leave with the biggest smile on your face.
