Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 In San Francisco the main floor was standing only so I managed to get to the front (pretty easily). The main downgrade was the fact that the much hyped fountains and water elements of her tour weren't obviously used in N America--as well as no flying over the audience on an Angel or a B stage. The DVD is pretty great--it's my first 3D concert disc and the 3D is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Did you hear about The Anti-Tour? Since it's obvious this won't be coming to the US, I hope it's filmed for a DVD release. Sounds like a dream come true. I can't wait to see the setlist as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 Unlike Madonna and some others, she's been good at getting her tours regularly on DVD (though we can't get that 1991 Let's Get To It dvd--one of her first attempts at performing live which is pretty funny with hte costumes ripping off Madonna's Blonde Ambition). So I hope so too. I'm still wondering when the 25th Anniversary TV special is meant to air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 Now apparently Billboard is saying a few American dates are likely. I guess as it's a stripped back tour they wouldn't have too much expense bringing it to North America. The first two Australian shows, due to small venue size, sold out in 15 minutes.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Amazing--songs I never thought she would do live (and neither did she I assume by the music stand...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KU56NIE7To And of course the Australian guy I dated while he spent a year in Montreal is wearing a white t shirt in the line up in the clip, LOL.

Members DRW50 Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 I guess she didn't have to spend much on wardrobe. I hope the tour is a big hit for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ha, yeah I'm not sure what I think about her fashion choices. The first two dates sold out in ten minutes, so it sounds like it is doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 18, 2012 Members Share Posted March 18, 2012 She's looking a lot like she did in the early 90's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm excited about the possibility of US dates, but I hope it's not as rushed as the Aussie dates so I have time to plan for it lol. Just announce all the dates dammit! Especially now that I seee how great the tracklist is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 Even though I assume the venues will be small, I assume because they know she doesn't have the fanbase in N America any dates she announces will have a lot more build up time between announcement and date to accomodate her fans from other cities who might travel and to make sure they sell well. I mean they knew she could sell a 2500 seat venue in Australia in 15 minutes--that was no surprise. Her last tour in San Francisco was at a venue that fit I believe between 4000-5000 and I believe there were still some tickets the day of (though it was pretty packed).

Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 One of my fave of her lesser known songs from her "rock" album Impossible Princess which she largely wrote and was done to try to give her some cred after working with Stock Aitken Waterman for so long - Rehearsal footage. Looks like the three UK dates announced sold out instantly too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 I regret so badly that I didn't go to her New York concerts last... May was it? So cheap and so close. Ugh! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 It must have been May yeah, or around then as I made the trip to see her in San Francisco the last week of May. Obviously it wsn't cheap for me due to the trip, but while the N A leg of the tour didn't have the huge arena water effects, etc, of the world tour, it was still pretty incredible to see such an elaborate, and *great* show in a relatively intimate venue (the floor was general admission so we managed to get right to the front) for a good price. Honestly, I love Madonna's tours but considering Kylie's cost about the same to stage (some say it was more expensive than the Sticky and Sweet tour), and tickets were a tiny fraction of what madonna charges did make me feel a bit annoyed buying Mad's tickets this year. LOL but I'm a broken record about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 After a few listens I'm actually loving the new Kylie track (produced by Nom de Strip written with The Dream) that she posted as a birthday surprise two days back--it's not a single, but will get promo play (like last year's excellent Timebomb.) http://soundcloud.com/nomdestrip/skirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
