It was more like a complete sensory experience. I saw the show in DC about 2 weeks before the HBO airing & was blown away. Madonna has always taken the concert experience to a new level & this was her zenith. A lot of people complained that she did not perform her "old hits," but that is a ridiculous. This show took each song & wrapped it into a story arc all from the viewpoint of 5 different characters - Punk Rock Glam Gal, Arial Butt-Kicking Geisha, Cyber Cowgirl, Latina Goddess & Pimp Mommy. The efx were amazing...from floating on a cloud of smoke when we first see her enter the stage TO flying through the air assaulting a gang of rogue ninja TO riding a mechanical bull. She has raised the stakes of pop music once again.
