Celebrate Madonna, Again!

May 11, 2024 8:25 AM

Since this post has been taken down because the video has been taken down, I have since found three versions of Madonna - Live From Copacabana, Río de Janeiro, Brasil (The Celebration Tour 2024) [2h15m], of which this is the most recent. This is essentially a game of whack-a-mole, but it keeps getting reposted. Just search for "Madonna Celebration Rio" to find the newest version. Enjoy!

I feel like this post is … borderline

I assure everyone, I'm not going to keep chasing this video. It is great, though. Maybe if this gets deleted mods can let the post stand for people who are willing to do the search to watch.

It's Still There!!!

So if anyone has managed to download this, please share with me. I've tried every possible YT Downloader I can find and none of them are yielding any results. I'd love to have this, but... so far, no luck.

Videos longer than 2h are a genuine problem.

And I say this with no disrespect to Madge because she's working fucking HARD and this concert is amazing... but there are a bunch of times across this concert where the look on her face is that of a 65 year old woman who is having to remember what to do next, having remembered it 80-odd times before, being SO THRILLED THIS IS THE LAST TIME she has to remember this, and also a lot of joy in the culmination of this journey.

Basically she's doing the thing she has to do and she's happy to be doing it but man, she is weary. It's on her face. And that's fine because it's not in her voice.

And can I say, her voice is amazing. I think maybe Simon Le Bon and Madonna are the only two Eighties stars still singing in their original keys.

Well, and Neil Tennant, but his original key was only ever maybe 10 notes to begin with.
