OK, so… this past weekend, I finally caught Madonna;s “Sticky & Sweet” concert tour – my first time seeing her in Vegas. Yes, I know it seems like old news by now – but hey, it’s been a busy news week.
This is my fourth Madonna tour since 2001 – I caught “Drowned World” (2001) and “Re-Invention” (2004) in New York, and “Confessions” (2006) in LA.
I’m not used to being the last fan on the block to see her live, but I also didn’t want to see the show in the outdoors environment of LA’s Dodgers Stadium. Maybe that was smart (it was a cold night, and her stage had problems being set up), but maybe it wasn’t (I missed Britney and Justin, who I had hoped would’ve been there in Vegas too!)
They weren’t there, but who cares? — It was Vegas baby!
