The tour opens

Not too long from now, those lucky Madge fans in England (Paul and John included!) will be seeing the opening night performance of Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour. I'm a bit torn on the viewing of images and video from the tour as it does ruin the surprise a bit, but in the internet age it's almost impossible not to see and read things. But this was one of the first things I saw when I logged on to my e-mail this morning!

This appears to be from the Old-School section of the show (?) and I approve! In 2 months, it'll be me at the tour and that day cannot come soon enough.

Here's the set list, for those of you who haven't read it (and aren't uber-Madge fans.) It is still "a rumored track list" at this point, but I would bet cash that this is what we wind up with.

Intro/Candy Shop
Beat Goes On
Human Nature
Vogue
Video Interlude - Die Another Day
Into The Groove
Heartbeat
Borderline
She's Not Me
Music
Video Interlude - Rain/Here Comes The Rain Again
Devil Wouldn't Recognize You
Spanish Lesson
Miles Away
La Isla Bonita/Lela Pala Tute
Doli Doli (Live Interlude - Romanian Folk Song)
You Must Love Me
Video Interlude - Get Stupid (About saving the planet)
4 Minutes
Like A Prayer
Ray Of Light
Hung Up
Give It To Me (Finale)

It does look good, although I am so seriously tired of "La Isla Bonita" and "Ray Of Light." I suspect that she keeps on doing "Ray Of Light" because she likes playing the guitar, but we'll see. And I do think the biggest WTF moment is "You Must Love Me" from Evita, but it still doesn't top the ultimate WTF moment that was "I'm Going Bananas" on The Girlie Show.
