Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour (VIDEO 2008) Live In Cardiff

And now for something a little different...

Live from Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, UK, August 23, 2008 (opening night).

In case you're like me and don't feel like waiting 6 months for the DVD, here's the most complete/best quality videos I could find, from last Saturday's show in Cardiff. Select "watch in high quality." DRUMROLL PLEASE.

ACT 1: PIMP

1. "Candy Shop"
Show opening. Lacks the drama of the Reinvention and Confessions Tour opening numbers, but still very neat.

2. "Beat Goes On"

3. "Human Nature"
Front view of Madonna
Screen video of Britney Spears cameo

4. "Vogue"
Vogue 2008 - with the beat from 4 Minutes. Very cool.

ACT 2: OLD SCHOOL

5. "Die Another Day" (Video Interlude)
Probably the best shoot M has done in the past several years.

6. "Into the Groove"
Very retro and still very fresh. Loving it.

7. "Heartbeat"

8. "Borderline"
Rock Borderline, on the guitar. Tres awesome, but she's kinda pitchy.

9. "She's Not Me"

10. "Music"

ACT 3: GYPSY

11. "Rain" (Video Interlude)

12. "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You"

13. "Spanish Lesson" / 14. "Miles Away"

15. "La Isla Bonita"

16. "You Must Love Me"

ACT 4: RAVE

17. "Get Stupid" (Video Interlude)
Taken from Beat Goes On. Madonna gets political, as usual. A couple clips in this (the ice melting, for instance,) were also used in the Confessions Tour "Sorry" interlude.

18. "4 Minutes"
Short performance, album version. Could have been a lot better.

19. "Like a Prayer"
Classic gets turned into a really epic pounding dance track. Love love love.

20. "Ray of Light"
Very VERY similar to the Confessions Tour performance. Should have been left out.

"Express Yourself" / 21. "Hung Up"
M tells the audience she's taking requests, sings a piece of Express Yourself, says "yeah, fuck that shit" and launches into Hung Up.

22. "Give It 2 Me"
Beautiful mix, complete with lasers.

Can't wait to see it on DVD. (And maybe Blu-Ray?)
