Not a big Madonna fan, but I`m a guitar player and collector. Particularly Les Paul guitars. Every time I watch this , including the original live version, this two chord , very well practiced Rockin` performance at Wembley of all places, brings a tear to my eye. Every time. Madonna RULES as far as giving it all when she does a show. Wow dear, you rock.!!
Yeah she's impressive how she always reinvents herself. I never thought I'd see her play the guitar on stage, but I just did. It's like one day she said, "I'mma play the guitar... why not me? I'm the queen of pop!" And she learned the chords and did it. That demands respect.
Madonna is controversial for sure, however take away all the hate and negativity and see a person who makes people smile. Brings some joy to people and doing so in her fifties. She was a homeless woman decades ago and now does this. So the question is does the world want more politicians, wars and spreaders of misery or more people to bring hope and joy a song at a time.
And 2 years ago i would of agreed with you Steve. now that her career as a musician is pretty much over, she has moved into politics, or at least gets in front of a mic just so she can shout obscenities at president trump because her candidate didn't win...... you were saying about people to bring hope and joy?
@@ISCREAM.STORE1 trumps a dumbass who is ruining our country. And she is still filling stadiums. You can bring joy while being conscious about politics
I am not a huge fam of M but I want to say to everyone on here...I have been to her shows. If you have not been to one, you cannot comment negatively about this performance. M's live shows are amazing. She knows how to control an audience and put on a fantastic performance. as far as her playing a rhythm guitar, it looks and sounds authentic when you are there. Bottom line, compared to others, her live performances are top of the line (continued...........)
I grew up watching her older stuff on MTV - when they showed music videos 24/7. Never imagined she would be looking and sounding even more iconic decades later while playing a Les Paul to boot!
LOVE the bass intro to this live version she did! Those intricate, whimsical, euphoria-like William Orbit sounds that flirt and immediately harden into a pure guitar and bass beat to pump up the crowd!
Madonna is awesome. Taking up guitar was a great move and an inspiration to many pop stricken kids. She is playing humbly looking down at her every chord change for the parts she is playing.
NOW WE GET TO SEE AND HEAR HER IN THE MUSIC MORE THAN EVER! ITS AMAZING...SMARTEST MUSICAL GENIOUS ...REALLY...THIS IS GREAT! I ENJOY WATCHING HER PLAY THE GUITAR...AND SHE STILL CAN SING LIKE SHE ALWAYS SOUNDS AS SHE PLAYS THE GUITAR ALSO...SHES AMAZING...
i do not care about what you think about live music ever. i was just enjoying this music. I am sure you are a psycho with internet as your only friend. You better go out and find what you really think about best live music ever. Or if you can... try to make music.
(continued.................) And that is coming from someone who has been to HUNDREDS of concerts. BTW, before any of you get started, I am a straight male in my 50s. I've seen many top-notch bands from the 60s until now and I'm not just talkin' pop groups. Madonna definitely knows how to do it right! peace
id say ray of light Madonna is Madonna in her prime, out of all her artist reinventions Still like the Confessions Era :) man this is so awesome. Maybe the best live music ever.
Gotta love Madonna. She's badazz. Comes out playing a Les Paul and dances and sings her heart out. As the British would say....she's a bit alright, but I say she's Fuckin' A Alright.
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun She's got herself a universe gone quickly For the call of thunder threatens everyone [Chorus:] And I feel like I just got home And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel Faster than the speeding light she's flying Trying to remember where it all began She's got herself a little piece of heaven Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one [chorus] Quicker than a ray of light Quicker than a ray of light Quicker than a ray of light [verse] And I feel Quicker than a ray of light Then gone for Someone else shall be there Through the endless years She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe And I feel And I feel And I feel like I just got home And I feel Quicker than a ray of light she's flying Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying
I was at this show. Madonna said she hated air conditioning cos it played havoc with her voice. Wish I could say I enjoyed it but most of us were dying from heat exhaustion. Lol
