Stuart Price gave an interview to BBC. “Many hits will be played in full, some will be interpolated into other songs, and still more will be used as "bridges" between acts. Price suggested a ballpark figure of 25 songs would be performed, with elements of 20 more appearing in some form.”

Sounds good tbh and also it will be impossible to please everyone. Her older fans are annoying. Why do you want “like a prayer AGAIN when she has performed it at various main performances since the Super Bowl (2012) 

 

im going to the Philadelphia, Brooklyn and DC shows.

y'all... i'm seeing her with my partner and he knows next to nothing about her :rip: but it's been so fun nerding out and showing him different songs, videos, performances, outfits, and explaining the significance of everything to him! she's literally such an important part of not just pop culture history, but music history, art history, women's history, and just human history in general! i hope to convert my partner into a fan by the time we go to the concert in December

‘When you talk about greatest hits for Madonna, a greatest hit isn’t necessarily a song. It’s a look, it’s a video, it’s an award show performance, it’s a costume she wore.’ And so this is going to be a concert that takes all of that, all the Madonna music, and the social history that it intersects with...”

Quote

Speaking about the actual stage set-up, Stuart Price added: “One interesting thing that Stuart said is there will not be a band on stage with her, I think for the first time in her career. And what they’ve done is they’ve gone back to the original multi-track recordings of all of these songs, 72 I think, top 40 hits in the UK, and they’ve deconstructed them. He said they’ve gone back to the original vocals where you can hear New York police sirens going past when she was recording Into The Groove in the 1980s. And they’re using all of that original and really evocative music as the backing track."

a supposed audio of the rehearsals featuring a mash-up of ILNY, Material Girl, GMAYL and Burning Up.

Don't know if it's fake or not, but her “vocals” on that audio kinda sound like her nowadays.

LAP would honestly stick out too much if my setlist is close to reality. And no band? Yeah I seriously think she will skip it. 

 

Honestly she could do Express Yourself / Vogue mash up let's be real these are basically twins.

BBC talks to Stuart Price:

 

"The person that is going to take the stage looks incredible, sounds incredible, performs incredible," said Price, reassuring fans that the 65-year-old had fully recovered. He added that the three-month delay had been used to polish the show.

 

"Madonna has very high expectations of how much hard work people will put into something," he said. "It's very uncompromising - but she's equally as hard on herself. "So when she took a break, that pause created an opportunity to further enhance the show. And I'm sure the opportunity [for her] to focus on being 100% well was greatly received as well."

 

Some, like Vogue, Like A Prayer and Ray of Light, are era-defining anthems. Others, like Live To Tell and Don't Tell Me, are beloved fan favourites. So how did they finalise the set-list?

"That was the big challenge," admitted Price. "In two hours, can you get all of it in? That's hard. But every great moment she's had, we took a bit of it."

Many hits will be played in full, some will be interpolated into other songs, and still more will be used as "bridges" between acts. 

Price suggested a ballpark figure of 25 songs would be performed, with elements of 20 more appearing in some form.

 

And what about a Taylor Swift-style acoustic section, where different tracks can be rotated into the playlist every night?

"Well, Madonna's reputation is for being highly precise and highly rehearsed across all departments. When you look at a tour of this scale, it has so many moving parts, so many elements, that everything has to be highly fixed. 

"But there's one thing that's always dynamic, and that's Madonna herself. Her personality is so strong, her interaction with the audience is so strong, that it creates opportunities for variation from night to night."

 

Price is one of the most in-demand producers in the industry, with credits including Dua Lipa's Levitating, The Killers' Human and Kylie Minogue's All The Lovers. He has worked with Madonna since 2001, serving as music director on three previous world tours and producing 2005's Confessions On A Dancefloor album and its Abba-sampling megahit, Hung Up. The pair established a musical shorthand that he said works almost telepathically. 

"It sounds very spiritual - but a lot of the ideas we have about music are inferred or non-verbal. There's just an understanding of feeling."

Although Price hadn't worked on a Madonna concert since 2006, their bat-senses began to tingle in January.

 

"When she announced the greatest hits tour I called her just to say, 'Congratulations, I think this is a great idea'. And she said, 'I was just thinking about you, and I thought you'd be the perfect person to work with on this'. "So two weeks later, I went to New York."

By that point, "Madonna had a really already highly evolved storyline" for the show that "reflected on her career, from being a young woman in New York and learning the scene, all the way through to motherhood, spiritual awakenings, and all the ups and downs. The storyline was just really, really compelling".

 

It's no coincidence that the tour was conceived while Madonna was also working on a movie of her life story. Due to star Julia Garner, the project was put on ice in January, around the same time as the tour was announced.

"One of the Madonna's skills is that she's able to cross-pollinate ideas between different projects," said Price. "In this case there'd been consideration about doing a biopic [which gave] this tour the potential for having a documentary aspect to it as well."As a result, the show will draw on news footage, classic costumes and music videos. More crucially, it will use Madonna's original multi-track recordings, with Price extracting "a vocal take where there's a car going by in the background" or "a solo from a guitarist who's no longer with us" to recapture the original spirit of the songs.

In fact, for the first time since she performed club shows at the start of her career, Madonna will not be joined by an on-stage band. 

"There are live musicians that perform at different parts of the show," said Price. "But what we realised is that the original recordings are our stars. Those things can't be replicated and can't be recreated, so we decided just to embrace that."

Rumors that I Don’t Search, I Find made it from a very reliable insider.

 

SO happy…one of her best songs since Confessions. Honestly wouldn’t mind this as the finale song combined with a few of her greatest hits.
