Best Way to Close Out 2019
I have now seen 5 live Madonna concerts, those being Drowned World, Confessions, MDNA, Rebel Heart, and now Madame X.
It was what I anticipated, that being, "Expect the Unexpected."
The format, the size of the venue, the size of the stage, the size of the audience, and the number of shows each night in Philadelphia, PA demonstrated Madonna is a genius. I understood, approximately 30 minutes into the show what is her approach. It is a closer connection with the audience itself, no cameras, more conversation, and more satire. I sat in disbelief at the remix of each new song from the Madame X album, and the new sounds to previously released songs from previously released albums, and lesser filtering and augmenting of vocals.
I won't disclose any details with regards to what songs are performed, but I will state this: Madonna is currently on tour with her most emotionally moving performances to date. Her statements on equality for all is relevant to everyone who's a Madonna fan. The audience was a mix of ages, and at the age of 45, I was very impressed she attracted people at least 20 years older than I am.
To sum it up, You Won't Be Disappointed, and You Will Leave the Concert Speechless!
