Backed by a popular demand, we went to see Madonna's concert on Wednesday at the United Center in Chicago. And yes, it was quite a show.
Concert supposed to start at 8 PM. 20 min. later, Paul Oakenfold started it off with about an hour of house/electronica music. The guy sitting next to us, told us that the Material Girl is usually late to her performance about 2.5 hours - every time.
He was right. She didn't come up on the stage until 10:20 PM. The famous girl is getting too tardy for the regular folks. It was worth the wait, though.
The concert itself was very well put together. Even then checkerboard stage with elevating cubes creating different shapes, was one of a kind. The opener with the AK-47 machine gun and then shooting the dancers with the pistol, was kind of disturbing being so close to the south side with all that violence going on in the neighborhood. After she got her anger out, the show went down with her greatest hits.
For a 54 years old, Madonna can move! She was doing splits, jumps, wall climbing, and all kinds of dance moves. To prove that her butt is still firm, she even pulled down her pants as well. And yes, it's firm. Lady Gaga - you have a lot to learn!
The crew was awesome. The dancers, the band, the backup singers - all top notch and very diverse. After all, Madonna is an equal opportunity employer. As for the the political flavor, no surprise here, she's against Romney.
So the show, in the words of Will Ferrel: It's not great....IT'S FANTASTIC, you totally under sold it! The pageantry, the costumes. WOW. What a musical.
