The tour keeps earning great reviews Venue: Joe Louis Arena City: Detroit, MI Date: October 1, 2015 Review and Photographs by: Todd "Toddstar" Jolicoeur (www.toddstarphotography.com) http://www.toddstarp...2015-detroit-mi What can you say about Madonna that hasn't been said before? Not much, except that this performer still has the goods and knows how to bring her "A" game - and she has to when she is playing Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI - the place she first called home. The crowd mulled about as a DJ entertained them for about an hour. Once the 9:00 hour struck, the place started to fill up and the buzz in the venue started to increase by the minute. As the time crept by until the expected arrival of the woman of the hour, the anticipation grew. When the final track of warm-up music was played, the audience got to their feet and the excitement in the air multiplied. The lights went out, the kabuki dropped, and away we went... on a musical journey with the original Rebel Hearted Material Girl. Pulling songs from her latest release, the tour's namesake Rebel Heart, Madonna kicked the night off with two new tracks - "Iconic" and "Bitch I'm Madonna" before grabbing a guitar and rocking the hell out of the arena with a killer version of "Burning Up." The first two songs in the opening sequence were supported by video montages, which was the case with other new tracks featured through the evening during set and costume changes, including "Messiah," "S.E.X.," and "Illuminati." Tonight's performance was not only about the songs, but the complete show - from the costumes, to the dancers, to the acrobatics and more. If you wanted to hear the songs exactly as they were first recorded, you should have stayed home, because tonight's show included stripped down versions of some favorites, while others got a medley-mix, and a few more got a new vibe wrapped around them creating a fresh sound for some of the tracks. While referring to the crowd and show, Madonna kept speaking of Detroit, Michigan, the fact that she was a hometown girl, and was proud to be witness to the revitalization of the city. Showcasing the 2015 release, more songs were cultivated to demonstrate once and for all that Madonna is timeless. Some of the songs added to the festivities to expose the audience (if they weren't already) to the new material included an awesome 1-2-3 punch of "Holy Water," "Devil Pray," and "Body Shop," with the inclusion of a bit of "Vogue" in the first track of the trio. Ramping the show up and the showmanship down, Madame Ciccone played some acoustic tracks for the crowd with a guitar and a ukulele including "True Blue," "Who's That Girl," and one of my personal favorites, "Frozen" - which incidentally was an addition to the typical setlist for the tour and hadn't been played live in six years, and a cover of "La Vie En Rose" - dedicated to her daughter who was in attendance. The dancers and other performers on the stage added texture to the show, especially the sway poles - go see the show, this cannot be described properly... you need to see it to understand it! Getting even deeper with tracks from her catalog and spinning them as new grooves, Madonna introduced her fans to a hybrid of "HeartBreakCity" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" as well as mixes featuring "Like a Virgin" swirled with "Justify My Love" and "Heartbeat" and "Dress You Up" which featured "Into the Groove" and "Lucky Star." Pulling other classics into the fray and mixing them in with the newer songs, the show was packed with music from everyone, whether you are a fan of tracks like "Rebel Heart" (which she dedicated to her father) and "Unapologetic Bitch" or if you lean on the classics like "Material Girl" and "Holiday." You are doing yourself an injustice if you don't get out and see the show when it hits your town, state, or country [TOUR DATES HERE]. There is only one Madonna and only one tour where you can hear these songs alongside each other as well as witness Madonna's performance of them and her overall stage presence. Thanks Madonna for showing Detroit (and the rest of the world) that you are still a powerhouse singer, electric performer, and an original - I cannot wait to see what is next up your sleeve. Welcome home to Detroit and come back anytime!!! Madonna brings spectacle — and new affection — to Detroit www.freep.com/story/entertainmen ... /73186940/

Who all purchased the Rolling Stone tribute edition? I had it in my hand yesterday and was looking through it and it seemed like a lot of reprinting from previous interviews she's done. I just did a quick skim through, but is there much new content? $15 is a bit steep IMO for stuff I've already bought before...

Anyways back to the review the Atlantic City show was much more energetic than the second Madison Square Garden show I attended in NY. More interaction with the crowd,more smiles and we got Ghosttown back. This show was meant to b seen from the middle preferably from the floor .
Easily my favorite Tour of them all and I've seen every one of them starting The Drowned World Tour ♡

It was a comment made in jest- lighten up, as M would say. ;) (The state gets an unfair rap, I agree.)
In any event, the tour continues to garner the raves.

Rebel Heart tour is receiving overwhelming possitive reviews. The general public and the media are praising its impact on pop culture and her talent as a visionary artist. Madonna Takes Her ‘Rebel Heart’ Tour To Atlantic City radio.com/2015/10/04/madonna-reb ... Jo.twitter Madonna looks back, but on her own terms. And she also leans heavily, rightfully so, on her latest album, "Rebel Heart." By Brian Ives “Are you here to take risks?” Madonna posed this question to a packed crowd at her concert Saturday Night (October 3), noting that they were, after all, in Atlantic City (the show took place at Boardwalk Hall). Whether or not the audience were feeling risky — and many of them surely were not — Madonna certainly was. At this point in her career, she could play to that crowd, and do it in her sleep: it would be the easiest thing in the world for her to do a greatest hits show, and add a perfunctory song or four from her latest album, throw in a few dance routines, and let the money roll in. But bitch, she’s Madonna. Her new album Rebel Heart is more than just a centerpiece around which she builds a tour and marketing campaign. Her new album is her artistic statement of the moment. Any older songs that happen to make the setlist, make it because they fit in to the narrative she’s building around her album. It almost feels like her classics have to audition for the show, along with her dancers and backing band. Nothing’s there unless it fits. She’s been categorized, of course, as a pop artist, which is understandable because she’s logged an insane amount of top 40 hits over her career. But when it comes to the way she structures her show, she’s more like Bruce Springsteen or U2. It’s about the message of the moment, not about fulfilling the fans wishes. There’s no song she “has to” play. And, in fact, you could argue that she’s a bit more daring than her rock peers: when she plays a classic, it’s generally in a totally different arrangement from the original. So, “Burnin’ Up” becomes a hard rock jam featuring a face melting guitar solo by Madonna herself. “True Blue” is almost doo-wop, driven by Madonna’s ukelele playing. Then there’s a Latin take on “Dress You Up” (which dove into “Into the Groove” and “Lucky Star”). “Who’s That Girl” on the other hand, was done acoustic duo-style. Some of these performances serve as reminders that Madonna could have taken any number of artistic paths and crushed it. If, say, she had wanted to front a rock band, she would have been classic rock radio fixture by now. Had she gone the acoustic route, she’d be an NPR perennial. This was, as it happens, my first Madonna concert. Madonna’s always struck me as someone who is notoriously not nostalgic, which makes sense: she always seems ready to conquer the world, and the pop charts, every time she unleashes a new record. And the pop charts are about singles, not box sets. But last night, she seemed to enjoy playing her hits, probably because it was strictly on her own terms. No matter the song, you never felt like she was playing anything in a perfunctory way. And as seamlessly as she slips in and out of eras and genres, she does the same with visual themes that ranged from Asian to Latin to very American: a car repair shop circa Grease and a Cotton Club era nightspot. It was an amazing spectacle to experience. The dancers also killed it in different styles, occasionally veering into Cirque du Soleil turf. The show was visually stunning; like U2, each song had it’s own visual design and concept. (When U2’s longtime manager retired, they signed with Madonna’s manager Oseary, which makes total sense; clearly he’s a guy who can handle insanely ambitious clients; those two tours have raised the bar for production spectacles that feel intimate and have heart.) I’ve seen, and reviewed, a number of concerts by legends with decade-spanning careers. And so it’s worth mentioning that very few of them are able to lean on a new album in concert as heavily as Madonna did last night; in fact, five of the six first songs are from Rebel Heart. And while some of her fans from her early ’80s era may have felt alienated during some of those songs with their EDM-centric production by the likes of Diplo and Avicii, much of the audience knew every word to every song, regardless of era. Anthems like “Bitch I’m Madonna” and “Unapologetic Bitch” felt like new rallying cries for much of the crowd (and that’s regardless of gender, by the way: lots of men were wearing their new “Bitch I’m Madonna” t-shirts, including a fan that was invited onstage during “Unapologetic Bitch”). Other songs from the album that provided highlights included the power ballad “Ghosttown,” “Heartbreak City” (which saw Madonna and one of her dancers on a spiral staircase, almost connecting but just missing, mirroring the lyrics) and the album’s acoustic guitar-propelled title track. On the later, when she sang “Never look back, it’s a waste of time/I said, ‘Oh yeah, this is me/And I’m right here where I wanna be,'” it felt like a bit of a mantra for herself and her show. Although maybe those lyrics aren’t completely accurate: last night, it felt like she actually did enjoy looking back, since it was on her own terms. But the crowd ate up every lyric she sang, roared for every word she said to them, and cheered for every last dance move and every last gesture, So the second part of that lyric rang especially true: there’s no doubt that playing to huge crowds is surely right where she wants to be. Hopefully she wants to do it for a long time to come: I’m already looking forward to seeing what she does on her next tour. Sorry Holidayguy, I didn't realize it's your same posted article. :)
