Madonna was a Punk Rocker before she was a Pop star, so in a way this concert brings her back to those punk roots before she became famous as a solo artist. This was my first Madonna concert, and I was blown away by the artistry and level of performance not only by Madonna, but by her backup dancers. When I heard she would be in the Bay Area, I thought 'Why not see this legendary performer sing her greatest hits.' But the show was anything but a greatest hit tour. Her new music was like nothing she had ever done before and the concert came to be one of her best, imv. After performing in the Bay Area, she went to L.A. and performed a show or two -- then 9-11 happened. That concert and historical events are seared in my mind.

Fun facts. Madonna forced all crew to shave their heads to fit the punk theme including Niki and Donna (who cried when she got the news), Niki pushed back and said she could pull off a Mohawk without cutting her hair until Madonna eventually relented and Niki came to Donna's defence. Also Guy Ritchie played the role of the lost technician on one or few of the venues after Beautiful Stranger. This was the first concert DVD I ever bought
Thank you for sharing that info with us! ❤️❤️ We thought Niki and Donna's hairstyles looked great in this (glad they didn't have to shave their heads!!).
This was the first Madonna tour I was old enough to go to, so it will always hold a special place in my bank of core memories. I was in the 9th row, and it was surreal seeing her remarkable beauty in real life. I was in awe of her creativity and theatrical presence on a stage. I was completely addicted to her after that.
This first section is called Neo-Punk (Water). This is how you open a tour. The excitement, the elements and song chosen were all brilliant to get the perfect build up. A great representation of the Ray of Light album.
I find it very interesting that she produced such aggressive work during what is often thought to be the happiest time in a woman's life (new mother and newlywed)
A lot of press critiziced Madonna back in the day because she was promoting her most "spiritual and reflexive" albums with such an aggresive and even hostile show. I think that's a great contradiction that works so well with Madonna, because she also called herself several times "a walking contradiction".
You hit the nail on the head. It’s so hard thru the eras to believe it’s the same person. She transforms herself so much. A lot of people don’t give her credit as being such an artist. She is creating pop art culture. The way Andy Warhol, Keith haring, etc did.
Could you imagine having to perform Ray Of Light (let alone a whole show) 80 something times over with that amount of energy? I remain floored at her work ethic. I love her so much. Her career is so much fun to follow.
"Could you imagine having to perform Ray Of Light (let alone a whole show) 80 something times over with that amount of energy?" It's exhausting just trying to imagine it! 😂
This is my first Madonna concert! Went on my own all the way to Paris and to see her was surreal, I cried like a baby. Thank you again for your reaction, hugs from Amsterdam ❤
First time I got really good Madonna’s concert tickets was MDNA and I cried like a baby too and I saw so many people crying also… it was a feeling of… I don’t know how to explain it with words, but it was like so much happiness + overwhelming feeling of gratitude because Madonna has worked so hard to change the world (human’s interactions to be different from the ones of power relationships) Sorry, I have to improve my English 😢
Awesome!! We have reached Drowned World!!! Seven years since her last tour, but I had to wait 10. As I said, previously, she did not tour in Toronto. This tour kicked off in Europe, and then as it got to America, 9 11 happened. Perhaps the reason why dates were not added where I live. So sad I missed this. Enjoy the last tour with Niki and Donna, as this is their finale. The opening of this show is as subtle as I have ever seen. Future tours have such dramatic openings, and the anticipation is full on. Wait till you see her perform Substitute for Love on her Confessions Tour! Love your review. Love your comments! Can’t wait for part 2!! Have an amazing day! ♥️
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ We're looking forward to the next tours as well, but it's so sad that Niki and Donna won't be there - We really love them. Hope you have a wonderful evening! ❤️
Told ya, Madonna is really such a rockstar and it always come through in her liveshows. She did start drumming in a punkband before becoming their lead singer later, afterall.
For me this was the first live concert by Madonna I ever saw! It was the last concert in Paris, in June 2001. I bought my ticket just three weeks before when they released a small number of tickets for all Paris shows, so it was a hectic time for me when I realized that I got my ticket and that I´d had to start to arrange a travel to Paris, France :D I had made a black t-shirt with "Lucky Star" written in rhinestones, as she had that fashion craze with these t-shirts with "Kylie" and "Britneys" etc. names on them. And I remember how my t-shirt shined on the sunlight as it was a hot and a sunny day in Paris. I found my way to my seats, and I was sooooo surprised to find out that the section was stage left and my seat was in the 5th row from the stage!!!! So I saw EVERYTHING up and close
Love this so much! Thank you for sharing your experience of seeing this show in Paris - Your beautiful description made us feel like we were there with you! ❤️❤️
'Candy perfume girl' is so good, especially the ending of this live performance. I saw this show in London and it was electrifying!!! Great you will look back on some deep cuts like this. Her albums are full of very interesting songs, sometimes even more than her singles, but weren't commercial enough. Nevertheless worth to listen to.
When the stage gets DARK, this segment ends with the last line of the opening song ("Drowned World/Substitute for Love") - "Now I find I've changed my mind, this is my religion"
OMG this was my very first Madonna tour. I remember that when the show was over I said to my mon “ I’ve seen Madonna , now I can die” Don’t even know why I said that but luckily after that I’ve seen each one of her coming tours. Seen the DWT Live was a once in a live time experience ❤
I was at this concert. It was the first concert that I took my current bff of over 20 yrs. She's been to every Madonna concert that I have attended since. I remember her being in awe. I was happy that I had just opened up a whole new world for her. Lol. I loved all her signature moves; the head/hair flipping, the shimmying, the little skip dance, the guitar playing, and, especially when she calls her fans mother fkrs. I can not tell you how many arguments I have had online about what Madonna calls her fans. A lot of the younger people try to tell me it's Rebel Hearts or Madonsters. Im like, WHAT!!!??? NO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! We are and always have been Mother fkrs Lol. I know, It's dumb, but I get so angry about it 😆

I love this tour because it is so different to anything before it. this is also the last time both Niki and Donna went on tour with Madonna. Can’t wait to see the next part!😆
This was my first ever tour, I went to the shows in Milan and Paris and It was an out of body experience! I really thought I was never going to see her live and in the end I went to all the tours since and I saw her more than 25 times at this point! I know some fans don’t like this tour because it was too dark and with very few hits from the past. But it’s the reason I love it! Also both Ray Of Light and Music were HUGE in Europe so it WAS actually a greatest hits tour! And get ready for part two, it’s going to blow your minds! It’s really theater in an arena. Can’t wait for the next video! ❤
Oh Yeah! My sister and 👁️ are screaming in that crowd and jumping around 😂 I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the show so far. It is a great theatrical, musical event. That stage is just so busy and colorful, very cool set designs. Thank you ladies for your anxious reactions. MADONNA is here to Entertain YOU and she definitely has it down pat.❤️ #MegaMichiganMFan84
The joke about the lyrics to Candy Perfume Girl was that they were all arranged using the refrigerator magnets with words and phrases. Doesn't necessarily make sense, but it's one bad ass track off Ray of Light.
this was my baby.my first time i had nosebleed seats but i later learned you can find a couple empty seats closer(depending on the worker)sone are chill and dancing and then some say “get in your seats”.
Awesome start! I forget how great this particular tour is, being she has so many great moments regarding her tours. I remember attending two shows in Florida and flabbergasted by some who complained that she didn't focus more on the hits. I get it! It was 8 years since her last tour, but she had done so much since then. She even had a turning point in her life and career since.. with the birth of her child, EVITA and the album RAY OF LIGHT. She had three albums to cover at this point. Looking back, I wouldn't ask her to change a thing. She still brought in a a couple classics, but the focus was her last several albums since she tours. There was so much content and hits since. And I noticed you gals noticed "Rock God" the guitarist. He was her guitar teacher who she brought on the David Letterman Show you reacted to. He ended up being her guitarist up until her last two tours Madame X and Celebration Tour. He was instrumental to her learning the guitar again. While any guitar expert would rip her to shreds in how she plays, she definitely learned enough to least look like she could rock out with the best. But what was cool, DWT was our first glimpse of her every playing an instrument on tour or in her entire career. Of course, she started out learning how to play guitar and drums back in the early days, but it is only at this time she embraced learning to play the guitar and offered another extension to being a performance artist. Some will criticize her playing, but she's learned enough to play well enough to entertain the masses. But let's remember it's just one of many stage presentations she brings to her concerts these days. The next part of your reaction journey will be less ROCK, but very theatrical! I can't wait to see your reaction! Thanks!!
Monte Pittman (wearing that black “Rock God” t-shirt) was a former member of heavy metal rock band Prong-playing the guitar and some vocals. Madonna met him in 1999, started relearning how to play the guitar with him as teacher in 2000, and he ended up becoming her main guitarist for most of her tours starting here in DWT. She would play acoustic and electric guitar from here on. She’s awesome when she dials up her rock star artistry in many of her following tours beginning with DWT.
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ "And I noticed you gals noticed "Rock God" the guitarist. He was her guitar teacher who she brought on the David Letterman Show you reacted to. He ended up being her guitarist up until her last two tours Madame X and Celebration Tour. He was instrumental to her learning the guitar again." Thank you for reminding us! It's so great that he was able to be with her on the tours as well - Love that! ❤️
The element of violence in this tour was something that her brother Christophe Cicconne also points out in his tell-all memoir book about Madonna. This was the first tour in which he was no longer involved as her creative partner following a fallout between them. He wrote about how shocked he was when he first saw the concert, and how he saw it as a result of Guy Ritchie’s influence on her.
This was the first Madonna's concert I saw. I saw on TV in 2001 I inmediatly fell in love of her talent and became fan since there. Greetings from Chile :)
Hi my 2 favorite people in the world. This was my first M concert. My family and i were blown away. It’s unbelievable how she commands the stage. Thats when i was converted into a M stan. Please keep it coming ladies and keep us happy. Love ya
Aww, you're the sweetest - Thank you! ❤️❤️ We're blown away just from the video, so we can only imagine being there in person! So happy you could see this live. Lots of love to you! ❤️
She looked incredible at every show except for the one they gave us on DVD lol. Not sure why they chose not to do her hair or makeup great at this show compared to the others. By the time she finished in LA, she was super tan to go film, Swept Away and looked amazing.
Awwww …… we are here ! ❤❤ Saw this show at Earl’s Court in London. I was blown away . Had been such a wait since the Girly show. Great reaction as always ❤❤ Sending love ❤️ ❤
Hi ladies! Thanks for your awesome reaction as always! Love you guys. I was at this concert in Detroit that night. It was the one brodcast live on HBO, then released as the official dvd of the tour. Was great to have Madonna back touring again after an 8 year absence. So missed! This is not my favorite tour of hers, but like all of them, it is creative and she still put on a hell of a show!
Aww, thank you - You're so sweet! ❤️❤️ It's so exciting that you were there for this particular show- Makes it even more fun for us to watch! Much love to you.❤️
Love the drowned world tour ,I saw this tour live back in 2001 awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤excited to see you lovely beautiful ladies reaction❤❤❤❤❤part 2 is going to be amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
My first concert! Thank you so much! I share your smile.... When i heard the beginning of drowned world... i cried... it was the first time i saw her in june 2001... Paris... and i was in a transe when i heard impressive instant just after..... Thank you. Your little frenchy PS I love how you move your head 😊😊 just like me! 😂 With kindness and light from France ❤
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ Love that this was your first concert (and also love that we move our heads the same! 😂)! Bet you had the most amazing time. Biggest hugs to you! ❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions it was the most amazing time... i made all her tour after this drowned world tour.... thanks for making my day each time you post a new madonna's reaction
You should listen to the intro again, BEFORE the first performance ("Drowned World/Substitute for Love") properly starts, when the anticipation is building up - how brilliant, it's a compilation of elements of so many songs, you can hear excerpts of "Don't Tell Me", "Ray of Light", "Music", "Impressive Instant", "Human Nature", "Drowned World/Substitute for Love", and also "Mer Girl" (this one is actually impossible for you to notice because you haven't heard the album version), and maybe "Frozen" too - just unspeakably hypnotizing, utterly mesmerizing.
Hello Monday!!!! Ufff, we were there in the opening show in Barcelona, it was a magical experience, full of energy. Great to repeat it with you ladies! Part II is coming…..!! ❤
This was my first Madonna concert! I had to drive to San Francisco from Portland because there were no Portland or Seattle dates. Hearing the roar of the crowd when the lights went down is still one of the most incredible and electric things I’ve ever heard in my life. I still think about it. I had taken my wife at the time, who was only familiar with her music through being married to me and not really “getting it”, and after the show was over she said “that was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.”
I am so jealous that I didn’t see this concert. I was trying to get tickets to the Las Vegas show. I was on the computer and my friend was on the cell phone when the tickets went on sale. It was dial up modem back then. I couldn’t get through and the show was sold out in a matter of minutes! I’m loving your reaction to this piece of art. I’ve got to see the Re-invention Tour in 30-4 and every show there after. I can’t wait to go through this journey with you! ❤️
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ "I was on the computer and my friend was on the cell phone when the tickets went on sale. It was dial up modem back then. I couldn’t get through and the show was sold out in a matter of minutes!" The dreaded dial up! So glad those days are over (and hate that it ruined your chances to get tickets).
Peak Madonna! Madonna on top of the world artistically, professionally and personally. Gorgeous, in perfect shape and voice, and more confident than ever before. It is a sight to behold! The perfect synchronicity of all her ambitions and dreams. Considering her modest beginnings, it is wonderment and joy for me that this waif of a girl kept her promise to Dick Clark and actually did rule the world as the most influential female performer ever. So enjoyed the video!
Thank you! ❤️❤️ "Madonna on top of the world artistically, professionally and personally. Gorgeous, in perfect shape and voice, and more confident than ever before. It is a sight to behold!" Love this! ❤️
Love this tour and your reactions ! I only just found out ,this weekend actually, that candy perfume girl was apparently written about her friend who was a drug user and died of aids, I’m unsure when this was but would possible fit the presentation of this song here ?.. this was also the first time Madonna had toured without her brother Chris who, as I’m sure you know was instrumental in staging and of course chief dresser to Madonna. I remember reading in his tell all book how unsatisfied he was with how this tour turned out but don’t think he was in any way instruments but think they must have colluded on ideas for this show at some point before they parted company for good. He noted that an idea for a geisha style walk was perfected and the use of a tree wasn’t to his taste - all coming up very soon ! Can’t wait !!
Hi Ladies! I hope you are both well. Been a little bit. Thanks for this and the past several Vids. I was thinking about you both the other day. I stumbled across dome newer-ish videos with Nikki and Donna being interviewed and answering questions about the whole time they worked with Madonna. I'm wondering if you have seen any of them? Pretty fascinating look behind the scenes. They popped up in my recommended. I'd thought I'd throw thst out there in case you were interested in diving deeper... And deeper... And deeper. Haha. Stay safe and healthy. ❤ Mark.
We're great - Hope you are too! ❤️❤️ We would love to see the videos with Nikki and Donna - Thank you for thinking of us! "...in case you were interested in diving deeper... And deeper... And deeper. Haha." 😂😂 Good one! Lots of love to you! ❤️
The version you are looking at is taken from one of the last dates of the tour where Madonna was visibly slimmed, in the initial phase she appeared much more muscular with very blonde cashetto hair, a one-shoulder and a plaid kilt
I had bought tickes for September 11th. and 13th. Unfortunately that big tragedy happened and sadly and understandable she postponed. I thought she was gonna cancel the rest of the shows (only 3 left). The show for the 13th, was a somber one. We were nervous, but excited to see her. She broke down and made us all cry. She changed some parts of the show for it not to be so violent.
Wow. Can't imagine what it was like to be there just two days after such a tragic event (and completely understandable that everyone was nervous). It must've been an incredibly emotional experience for all of you. ❤️❤️
Yeah you finally made to The Drowned World Tour! 🕺💃 Be prepared that it's a darker tour but it's also very interesting at the same time. There wiill definitely be dance songs as it progreses towards the end.... Enjoy! 💜 💜
Just like Madonna herself, this tour marked a further progressive and aggressive Madonna in vision, presentation and style. This was edgier than the previous tours and it was state of the art, sound and set. This may very well have been the tour that started all the huge LED screens as moving art. Was lucky to catch this for her Labor Day weekend 2 night stop in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
This was the concert she wanted to do in late 1999 to welcome the new millennium with focus on her 1998 Ray Of Light album-but her plan fell through and it got pushed to 2001. Spectacular staging which is state-of-the art high tech and that overhead canopy with blinking lights reminded me of a smaller version of the alien mothership on Close Encounters of the Third Kind-that just landed on earth bringing back Madonna as she appeared amidst that billowing smoke-eerily similar to her staging of Nothing Really Matters in her 2023/24 Celebration Tour. This gave an otherworldly vibe. This DWT concert in Detroit was on August 26. It’s uncanny that her opening song for this tour with Drowned World/Substitute for Love-since 2 weeks later came the 9/11 attacks in NYC and DC that really upended the world as we know it. I luv that she opened where she and her ensemble appeared with a punk look, swagger and attitude-harking back to her hard rock roots. This was like a big f/u to her detractors who probably thought that after the harsh backlash they gave her from her Erotica/Sex book era-Madonna was chastised, laid low for good. But here she is, as fierce and in your face-coming back with a vengeance. Really enjoyed your reaction here.❤😊

Hadn't made that connection until you mentioned it - Thank you!❤️ "It’s uncanny that her opening song for this tour with Drowned World/Substitute for Love-since 2 weeks later came the 9/11 attacks in NYC and DC that really upended the world as we know it." So true (and incredibly heartbreaking).
Hello, this was my first Madonna tour I went to, I faced 19 hours by train to see her and in addition I had with me the essay to study because I would have given an exam a few days later
There were not a better song to start the show that drowned world, when arrived to the palau sant jordi in Barcelona to see the first show Of the tour, the people who were sleeping in the street days ago told me she had been rehearsing the whole show the day before and that she would start the concert with my favorite song of the ray of light album, all the emotions envolved me
"Of the tour, the people who were sleeping in the street days ago told me she had been rehearsing the whole show the day before and that she would start the concert with my favorite song of the ray of light album, all the emotions envolved me" It's so cool that people were able to hear the rehearsals before the show - Must've been very exciting to get a glimpse of what was to come! ❤️❤️
That first guy that appears at the very beginning is Stuart Price. Remember his name cause he’s going to take a much bigger role in Madonna’s history. He’s this tour’s music director and he’s going to be for the next two ones, as well as he’s going to be the main producer in Confessions on a Dance Floor. Also, if you’re wishing for an acoustic concert, wait until you get to 2003! There’s going to be a special concert given ar La Cantine du Faubourg in Paris that is going to be very intimate and, well, acoustic!
It’s really interesting to think that he first got involved in Madonna’s sonic universe as DWT’s music director and musician when back then he was already a fairly known and established DJ and producer in the underground electronic scene.
Probably one of my least favorite M tours, but it was the first time I got to see her in concert. I saw a show before 9/11 and a show right after. It was amazing in person, but they didn’t do her hair or makeup that great at the recorded show we got, unfortunately. It was too dark for me and a little too Tori Amos for me, but most fans love it. I had an amazing time there in person. I can’t wait for you guys to watch the Re-Invention Tour from 2004 in support of American Life. That is a lot more ‘Greatest Hits’ and was just a blast. Love going on this journey with you two! 🥰🥰
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️ We're so glad you're here! Love that you got to see this in person (and it must've been so interesting to see it before and after 9/11)!
I do love this tour, even though I sort of miss the smiling having fun Madonna from the Girlie Show and before. She seems a bit nervous on this tour. Even in her movements she seems a little less free. I call it the Ritchie effect. Those bondage trousers have extra meaning to me regarding that man. Fear not, From Confessions onwards SHE IS OVER THE MOON on stage, and back to dancing like the universe is watching rather than her husband.
I remember being a junior in college during this tour, and I was too broke on a student budget to be able to go. 20+ years later, I am still kicking my self for not begging, scouring and stealing to secure a ticket.
I thought the shift from Candy Perfume Girl into Beautiful Stranger could make sense. CPG to me is about ambiguity, non-conforming identify. BS is about celebrating the unknown. That's how I made.the link anyway:-)
Oh wow...this was the first time I saw Madonna live. It was alright, i didnt really like this tour. Loved the 04/06/12/19 tours though. All incredible.
For me the highlights were the opening and ending of an overall disappointing show - too dark and too much from the ROL and Musuc albums - I derserve it was a cute song though

Also Guy Ritchie played the role of the lost technician on one or few of the venues after Beautiful Stranger.

A lot of press critiziced Madonna back in the day because she was promoting her most "spiritual and reflexive" albums with such an aggresive and even hostile show. I think that's a great contradiction that works so well with Madonna, because she also called herself several times "a walking contradiction".
One of her best tour. Very underground. Very M!!! She is unique!!
Yes. I love that this tour was very "alternative" coming from a very huge mega star like Madonna. I love this era. She used to be so original
You hit the nail on the head. It’s so hard thru the eras to believe it’s the same person. She transforms herself so much. A lot of people don’t give her credit as being such an artist. She is creating pop art culture. The way Andy Warhol, Keith haring, etc did.
"A lot of people don’t give her credit as being such an artist. She is creating pop art culture."

When u see Frozen and sky fits heaven it will flips your lids
Could you imagine having to perform Ray Of Light (let alone a whole show) 80 something times over with that amount of energy? I remain floored at her work ethic. I love her so much. Her career is so much fun to follow.

Awesome!! We have reached Drowned World!!! Seven years since her last tour, but I had to wait 10. As I said, previously, she did not tour in Toronto. This tour kicked off in Europe, and then as it got to America, 9 11 happened. Perhaps the reason why dates were not added where I live. So sad I missed this. Enjoy the last tour with Niki and Donna, as this is their finale. The opening of this show is as subtle as I have ever seen. Future tours have such dramatic openings, and the anticipation is full on. Wait till you see her perform Substitute for Love on her Confessions Tour!
Love your review. Love your comments!
Can’t wait for part 2!!
Have an amazing day! ♥️
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
We're looking forward to the next tours as well, but it's so sad that Niki and Donna won't be there - We really love them.
Hope you have a wonderful evening! ❤️
I loved this post-apocalyptic punk-rock segment.
Told ya, Madonna is really such a rockstar and it always come through in her liveshows. She did start drumming in a punkband before becoming their lead singer later, afterall.
❤️❤️
There's no one like Madonna. ❤ Her concerts are the best. ❤
For me this was the first live concert by Madonna I ever saw! It was the last concert in Paris, in June 2001. I bought my ticket just three weeks before when they released a small number of tickets for all Paris shows, so it was a hectic time for me when I realized that I got my ticket and that I´d had to start to arrange a travel to Paris, France :D
I had made a black t-shirt with "Lucky Star" written in rhinestones, as she had that fashion craze with these t-shirts with "Kylie" and "Britneys" etc. names on them. And I remember how my t-shirt shined on the sunlight as it was a hot and a sunny day in Paris. I found my way to my seats, and I was sooooo surprised to find out that the section was stage left and my seat was in the 5th row from the stage!!!! So I saw EVERYTHING up and close
Love this so much! Thank you for sharing your experience of seeing this show in Paris - Your beautiful description made us feel like we were there with you! ❤️❤️
'Candy perfume girl' is so good, especially the ending of this live performance. I saw this show in London and it was electrifying!!! Great you will look back on some deep cuts like this. Her albums are full of very interesting songs, sometimes even more than her singles, but weren't commercial enough. Nevertheless worth to listen to.
Definitely makes us even more excited to do the deeper dive into her albums! ❤️❤️
When the stage gets DARK, this segment ends with the last line of the opening song ("Drowned World/Substitute for Love") - "Now I find I've changed my mind, this is my religion"
I love this tour. It wasn’t the best for me at first, but it really grows on you. It was ahead of its time! I know they will love the next section 😊
OMG OMG. She opened her best tour with her best song ever. I love this tour so much
❤️❤️
This was the first time I saw Madonna perform live and it was mesmerizing!
Bet it was incredible! ❤️❤️
OMG this was my very first Madonna tour. I remember that when the show was over I said to my mon “ I’ve seen Madonna , now I can die” Don’t even know why I said that but luckily after that I’ve seen each one of her coming tours. Seen the DWT
Live was a once in a live time experience ❤
Love that story! ❤️❤️
I was at this concert. It was the first concert that I took my current bff of over 20 yrs. She's been to every Madonna concert that I have attended since. I remember her being in awe. I was happy that I had just opened up a whole new world for her. Lol. I loved all her signature moves; the head/hair flipping, the shimmying, the little skip dance, the guitar playing, and, especially when she calls her fans mother fkrs. I can not tell you how many arguments I have had online about what Madonna calls her fans. A lot of the younger people try to tell me it's Rebel Hearts or Madonsters. Im like, WHAT!!!??? NO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! We are and always have been Mother fkrs Lol. I know, It's dumb, but I get so angry about it 😆

😂 Perfect! ❤️
I love this tour because it is so different to anything before it. this is also the last time both Niki and Donna went on tour with Madonna. Can’t wait to see the next part!😆
Part 2 coming up soon! ❤️❤️
This was my first ever tour, I went to the shows in Milan and Paris and It was an out of body experience! I really thought I was never going to see her live and in the end I went to all the tours since and I saw her more than 25 times at this point! I know some fans don’t like this tour because it was too dark and with very few hits from the past. But it’s the reason I love it! Also both Ray Of Light and Music were HUGE in Europe so it WAS actually a greatest hits tour! And get ready for part two, it’s going to blow your minds! It’s really theater in an arena. Can’t wait for the next video! ❤
Wow - What an amazing tour to be your first (and incredible that you've seen her more than 25 times!!)! ❤️❤️

Por fin llegó el momento, estoy tan emocionado ajjsjas, un saludo chicas, desde Paraguay, Sudamérica.
Big hugs to you! 😘❤️❤️
Oh Yeah! My sister and 👁️ are screaming in that crowd and jumping around 😂
I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the show so far. It is a great theatrical, musical event. That stage is just so busy and colorful, very cool set designs. Thank you ladies for your anxious reactions. MADONNA is here to Entertain YOU and she definitely has it down pat.❤️
#MegaMichiganMFan84
Love knowing that you two were there - It makes it even more fun for us to watch!!! Much love to you. ❤️❤️
The joke about the lyrics to Candy Perfume Girl was that they were all arranged using the refrigerator magnets with words and phrases. Doesn't necessarily make sense, but it's one bad ass track off Ray of Light.
Love that! 😂❤️❤️
this was my baby.my first time
i had nosebleed seats but i later learned you can find a couple empty seats closer(depending on the worker)sone are chill and dancing and then some say “get in your seats”.
Awesome start! I forget how great this particular tour is, being she has so many great moments regarding her tours. I remember attending two shows in Florida and flabbergasted by some who complained that she didn't focus more on the hits. I get it! It was 8 years since her last tour, but she had done so much since then. She even had a turning point in her life and career since.. with the birth of her child, EVITA and the album RAY OF LIGHT. She had three albums to cover at this point. Looking back, I wouldn't ask her to change a thing. She still brought in a a couple classics, but the focus was her last several albums since she tours. There was so much content and hits since.
And I noticed you gals noticed "Rock God" the guitarist. He was her guitar teacher who she brought on the David Letterman Show you reacted to. He ended up being her guitarist up until her last two tours Madame X and Celebration Tour. He was instrumental to her learning the guitar again. While any guitar expert would rip her to shreds in how she plays, she definitely learned enough to least look like she could rock out with the best. But what was cool, DWT was our first glimpse of her every playing an instrument on tour or in her entire career. Of course, she started out learning how to play guitar and drums back in the early days, but it is only at this time she embraced learning to play the guitar and offered another extension to being a performance artist. Some will criticize her playing, but she's learned enough to play well enough to entertain the masses. But let's remember it's just one of many stage presentations she brings to her concerts these days.
The next part of your reaction journey will be less ROCK, but very theatrical! I can't wait to see your reaction! Thanks!!
Monte Pittman (wearing that black “Rock God” t-shirt) was a former member of heavy metal rock band Prong-playing the guitar and some vocals. Madonna met him in 1999, started relearning how to play the guitar with him as teacher in 2000, and he ended up becoming her main guitarist for most of her tours starting here in DWT. She would play acoustic and electric guitar from here on. She’s awesome when she dials up her rock star artistry in many of her following tours beginning with DWT.
@@briandubois-gilbert8182 Thanks for the piggy back info.
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️

Thank you for reminding us! It's so great that he was able to be with her on the tours as well - Love that! ❤️
The element of violence in this tour was something that her brother Christophe Cicconne also points out in his tell-all memoir book about Madonna. This was the first tour in which he was no longer involved as her creative partner following a fallout between them. He wrote about how shocked he was when he first saw the concert, and how he saw it as a result of Guy Ritchie’s influence on her.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing that with us. ❤️❤️
Nah. This tour was great. Not everything has to be g a y Christopher!
@@TatoMQZD No one said it isn’t great. I just made a comment about violence as a permeating theme on this tour
@@rodrigodalcin2915 I'm not saying that for you. I said that for Christopher being "shocked"
Finally! We made it!! As I said before, this is outstanding! Thank U Beautiful ladies for making my Sunday even better!! Have a beautiful week!! Hugs.
Aww, you're always so sweet - Thank you! ❤️❤️
Sending lots of love to you, and hoping you have a wonderful week too!
This was the first Madonna's concert I saw. I saw on TV in 2001 I inmediatly fell in love of her talent and became fan since there. Greetings from Chile :)
Can definitely see why you fell in love with her talent after watching this! ❤️❤️
Hi my 2 favorite people in the world.
This was my first M concert. My family and i were blown away. It’s unbelievable how she commands the stage. Thats when i was converted into a M stan.
Please keep it coming ladies and keep us happy. Love ya
Aww, you're the sweetest - Thank you! ❤️❤️
We're blown away just from the video, so we can only imagine being there in person! So happy you could see this live.
Lots of love to you! ❤️
Yesssssss!!
You're in for quite a ride! Woohoooo!!!
Seatbelts on! ❤️❤️
You will love this tour❤.
Personally, I loved the red skirt from EU leg best
She looked incredible at every show except for the one they gave us on DVD lol. Not sure why they chose not to do her hair or makeup great at this show compared to the others. By the time she finished in LA, she was super tan to go film, Swept Away and looked amazing.
Yes I prefer the sleek hair of the European shows but nice to see a different look !
❤️❤️
THIS TOUR IS OUT OF THIS WORLD🌎 ❤
THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING REACTION LADIES🎉❤🎉❤
Aww, thank you so much - You're very kind! ❤️❤️
Awwww …… we are here ! ❤❤
Saw this show at Earl’s Court in London.
I was blown away . Had been such a wait since the Girly show.
Great reaction as always ❤❤
Sending love ❤️ ❤
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
So happy for you that you saw this one live (and can definitely understand why you were blown away!).
Much love! ❤️
Hi ladies! Thanks for your awesome reaction as always! Love you guys. I was at this concert in Detroit that night. It was the one brodcast live on HBO, then released as the official dvd of the tour. Was great to have Madonna back touring again after an 8 year absence. So missed! This is not my favorite tour of hers, but like all of them, it is creative and she still put on a hell of a show!
Aww, thank you - You're so sweet! ❤️❤️
It's so exciting that you were there for this particular show- Makes it even more fun for us to watch!
Much love to you.❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions awww. Thank you. You guys are awesome. Much love. ❤️

My first concert! Thank you so much! I share your smile....
When i heard the beginning of drowned world... i cried... it was the first time i saw her in june 2001... Paris... and i was in a transe when i heard impressive instant just after.....
Thank you. Your little frenchy
PS I love how you move your head 😊😊 just like me! 😂
With kindness and light from France ❤
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Love that this was your first concert (and also love that we move our heads the same! 😂)! Bet you had the most amazing time. Biggest hugs to you! ❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions it was the most amazing time... i made all her tour after this drowned world tour.... thanks for making my day each time you post a new madonna's reaction
And here we go, what an epic start to an amazing tour, and it just gets better from here.
❤️❤️
You should listen to the intro again, BEFORE the first performance ("Drowned World/Substitute for Love") properly starts, when the anticipation is building up - how brilliant, it's a compilation of elements of so many songs, you can hear excerpts of "Don't Tell Me", "Ray of Light", "Music", "Impressive Instant", "Human Nature", "Drowned World/Substitute for Love", and also "Mer Girl" (this one is actually impossible for you to notice because you haven't heard the album version), and maybe "Frozen" too - just unspeakably hypnotizing, utterly mesmerizing.
Thank you for sharing that with us! We'll go back and listen to it. ❤️❤️
So excited that you’ve finally got to this tour ! Cant wait to see your reaction to part 2, it will blow you away !!!!!
❤️❤️
Hello Monday!!!! Ufff, we were there in the opening show in Barcelona, it was a magical experience, full of energy.
Great to repeat it with you ladies!
Part II is coming…..!!
❤
So glad that you're reliving the experience with us! Big hugs to you. ❤️❤️
This was my first Madonna tour I went to. Boston 2001. This was so advanced technologically. I swear it still holds up today. It just blew me away.
Wow!! It must've been such an exciting experience! ❤️❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions It really was. I was totally mesmerized. I was in complete awe of her.
I saw this concert in London. First time seeing Madonna live. Amazing. :)
Wow! Must've been incredible!! ❤️❤️
Great reaction ladies as always. ❤ Always enthusiastic and insightful! 😊
The next section is pure theatre - hope you enjoy it.
Aww, thank you so much - You're very sweet! ❤️❤️
You won’t be disappointed.
This was my first Madonna concert! I had to drive to San Francisco from Portland because there were no Portland or Seattle dates. Hearing the roar of the crowd when the lights went down is still one of the most incredible and electric things I’ve ever heard in my life. I still think about it. I had taken my wife at the time, who was only familiar with her music through being married to me and not really “getting it”, and after the show was over she said “that was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.”
What a great story! Thank you so much for sharing your concert experience with us! ❤️❤️
What a thrill to see you react to this tour
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting for this day. So glad you’re on the drowned world tour! The second act is my absolute favorite of any of her tours! Get ready!
❤️❤️
I saw this concert in Oakland,CA
That's fantastic! ❤️❤️
Absolute love to this reaction and seeing that i can see this concert fully with your opinions! It seems you have a lot of content for me to watch😁
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️
And yes, lots to watch from our Madonna journey so far! ❤️
I am so jealous that I didn’t see this concert. I was trying to get tickets to the Las Vegas show. I was on the computer and my friend was on the cell phone when the tickets went on sale. It was dial up modem back then. I couldn’t get through and the show was sold out in a matter of minutes! I’m loving your reaction to this piece of art. I’ve got to see the Re-invention Tour in 30-4 and every show there after. I can’t wait to go through this journey with you! ❤️
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
"I was on the computer and my friend was on the cell phone when the tickets went on sale. It was dial up modem back then. I couldn’t get through and the show was sold out in a matter of minutes!"
The dreaded dial up! So glad those days are over (and hate that it ruined your chances to get tickets).
I was in her show in Paris ! Madonna is a legend !
Must've been an incredible experience! ❤️❤️
Love this tour ❤
❤️❤️
Peak Madonna! Madonna on top of the world artistically, professionally and personally. Gorgeous, in perfect shape and voice, and more confident than ever before. It is a sight to behold! The perfect synchronicity of all her ambitions and dreams. Considering her modest beginnings, it is wonderment and joy for me that this waif of a girl kept her promise to Dick Clark and actually did rule the world as the most influential female performer ever. So enjoyed the video!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
"Madonna on top of the world artistically, professionally and personally. Gorgeous, in perfect shape and voice, and more confident than ever before. It is a sight to behold!"
Love this! ❤️
Love this tour and your reactions ! I only just found out ,this weekend actually, that candy perfume girl was apparently written about her friend who was a drug user and died of aids, I’m unsure when this was but would possible fit the presentation of this song here ?.. this was also the first time Madonna had toured without her brother Chris who, as I’m sure you know was instrumental in staging and of course chief dresser to Madonna. I remember reading in his tell all book how unsatisfied he was with how this tour turned out but don’t think he was in any way instruments but think they must have colluded on ideas for this show at some point before they parted company for good. He noted that an idea for a geisha style walk was perfected and the use of a tree wasn’t to his taste - all coming up very soon ! Can’t wait !!
Aww, thank you so much! ❤️❤️
And thank you for sharing that info as well - Very interesting!
Love that tour!!!! So theatrical ❤
Hi Ladies!
I hope you are both well. Been a little bit.
Thanks for this and the past several Vids.
I was thinking about you both the other day. I stumbled across dome newer-ish videos with Nikki and Donna being interviewed and answering questions about the whole time they worked with Madonna. I'm wondering if you have seen any of them? Pretty fascinating look behind the scenes. They popped up in my recommended. I'd thought I'd throw thst out there in case you were interested in diving deeper... And deeper... And deeper. Haha.
Stay safe and healthy.
❤
Mark.
We're great - Hope you are too! ❤️❤️
We would love to see the videos with Nikki and Donna - Thank you for thinking of us!
"...in case you were interested in diving deeper... And deeper... And deeper. Haha."
😂😂 Good one!
Lots of love to you! ❤️
Omg yay i was waiting for this one!
❤️❤️
The version you are looking at is taken from one of the last dates of the tour where Madonna was visibly slimmed, in the initial phase she appeared much more muscular with very blonde cashetto hair, a one-shoulder and a plaid kilt
LOVE Donna and Niki’s look here! And M’s energy is amazing.
Speechless❤❤
❤️❤️
I really like watching your madonna reactions. I watch you from honduras central america❤
Aww, thank you so much - We're glad you're here with us!❤️❤️
👑 I can't wait to see and reaction to confession tour..2005.. best tour ever...👑
This was a tour I didn't attend...looking forward to watching with you!
❤️❤️
I had bought tickes for September 11th. and 13th.
Unfortunately that big tragedy happened and sadly and understandable she postponed. I thought she was gonna cancel the rest of the shows (only 3 left).
The show for the 13th, was a somber one. We were nervous, but excited to see her. She broke down and made us all cry. She changed some parts of the show for it not to be so violent.
Wow. Can't imagine what it was like to be there just two days after such a tragic event (and completely understandable that everyone was nervous).
It must've been an incredibly emotional experience for all of you. ❤️❤️
🥹✝️✝️✝️🙏☮️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏳️🌈🇲🇽🇺🇸♓️🇫🇷🇬🇧
Yeah you finally made to The Drowned World Tour! 🕺💃
Be prepared that it's a darker tour but it's also very interesting at the same time.
There wiill definitely be dance songs as it progreses towards the end....
Enjoy! 💜 💜
Thank you! ❤️❤️
This concert video made me a fan ❤
❤️❤️
Just like Madonna herself, this tour marked a further progressive and aggressive Madonna in vision, presentation and style. This was edgier than the previous tours and it was state of the art, sound and set. This may very well have been the tour that started all the huge LED screens as moving art. Was lucky to catch this for her Labor Day weekend 2 night stop in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Love that you were able to see this in person! ❤️❤️
OMG i remember this being broadcast live in Australia pay per view begging my mum and dad to please pay for me to watch it, great times
❤️❤️
Aaaaalllright 👏🏻👏🏻 here we go! 😊
This was the concert she wanted to do in late 1999 to welcome the new millennium with focus on her 1998 Ray Of Light album-but her plan fell through and it got pushed to 2001.
Spectacular staging which is state-of-the art high tech and that overhead canopy with blinking lights reminded me of a smaller version of the alien mothership on Close Encounters of the Third Kind-that just landed on earth bringing back Madonna as she appeared amidst that billowing smoke-eerily similar to her staging of Nothing Really Matters in her 2023/24 Celebration Tour. This gave an otherworldly vibe. This DWT concert in Detroit was on August 26. It’s uncanny that her opening song for this tour with Drowned World/Substitute for Love-since 2 weeks later came the 9/11 attacks in NYC and DC that really upended the world as we know it.
I luv that she opened where she and her ensemble appeared with a punk look, swagger and attitude-harking back to her hard rock roots. This was like a big f/u to her detractors who probably thought that after the harsh backlash they gave her from her Erotica/Sex book era-Madonna was chastised, laid low for good. But here she is, as fierce and in your face-coming back with a vengeance.
Really enjoyed your reaction here.❤😊
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️

So true (and incredibly heartbreaking).
Tbh, I preferred her first act outfits during the European leg
Hello, this was my first Madonna tour I went to, I faced 19 hours by train to see her and in addition I had with me the essay to study because I would have given an exam a few days later
Wow - 19 hours on the train! Bet you had an amazing time (Hope you did well on your exam too 😉)!❤️❤️
@@OurAnxiousReactions Yes, it went well, of course, if they had asked me about the concert I would have been much more prepared 😂😂
😂😂
Im so sorry being so repetitive but...
IMPRESSIVE INSTANT "kick ass"
There were not a better song to start the show that drowned world, when arrived to the palau sant jordi in Barcelona to see the first show Of the tour, the people who were sleeping in the street days ago told me she had been rehearsing the whole show the day before and that she would start the concert with my favorite song of the ray of light album, all the emotions envolved me
"Of the tour, the people who were sleeping in the street days ago told me she had been rehearsing the whole show the day before and that she would start the concert with my favorite song of the ray of light album, all the emotions envolved me"
It's so cool that people were able to hear the rehearsals before the show - Must've been very exciting to get a glimpse of what was to come! ❤️❤️
That first guy that appears at the very beginning is Stuart Price. Remember his name cause he’s going to take a much bigger role in Madonna’s history. He’s this tour’s music director and he’s going to be for the next two ones, as well as he’s going to be the main producer in Confessions on a Dance Floor. Also, if you’re wishing for an acoustic concert, wait until you get to 2003! There’s going to be a special concert given ar La Cantine du Faubourg in Paris that is going to be very intimate and, well, acoustic!
Yes and he was part of celebration tour too!
It’s really interesting to think that he first got involved in Madonna’s sonic universe as DWT’s music director and musician when back then he was already a fairly known and established DJ and producer in the underground electronic scene.
Thank you for sharing that info about Stuart Price! ❤️❤️
And so excited to see that acoustic concert in Paris - Yay!! Bet it was amazing. ❤️
Probably one of my least favorite M tours, but it was the first time I got to see her in concert. I saw a show before 9/11 and a show right after. It was amazing in person, but they didn’t do her hair or makeup that great at the recorded show we got, unfortunately. It was too dark for me and a little too Tori Amos for me, but most fans love it. I had an amazing time there in person. I can’t wait for you guys to watch the Re-Invention Tour from 2004 in support of American Life. That is a lot more ‘Greatest Hits’ and was just a blast. Love going on this journey with you two! 🥰🥰
Aww, thank you! ❤️❤️ We're so glad you're here!
Love that you got to see this in person (and it must've been so interesting to see it before and after 9/11)!
Ahhh love this tour. Darker than the rest..but so theatrical. I'm pretty sure the Candy Perfume Girl was based on a poem.
Thank you for sharing that about Candy Perfume Girl - Interesting! ❤️❤️
You guys should do her Live Earth gig and also the Met Gala performance.
Here's a link to our Met Gala reaction: th-cam.com/video/slGdRlogXLU/w-d-xo.html
❤️❤️
This tour had a very British Punk aesthetic as well as the kilts theme was paying homage to her husband.
I do love this tour, even though I sort of miss the smiling having fun Madonna from the Girlie Show and before. She seems a bit nervous on this tour. Even in her movements she seems a little less free. I call it the Ritchie effect. Those bondage trousers have extra meaning to me regarding that man. Fear not, From Confessions onwards SHE IS OVER THE MOON on stage, and back to dancing like the universe is watching rather than her husband.
❤️❤️
I remember being a junior in college during this tour, and I was too broke on a student budget to be able to go. 20+ years later, I am still kicking my self for not begging, scouring and stealing to secure a ticket.
Aww, big hugs to you! ❤️❤️
Her dad was in the audience lol.
😂😂
I thought the shift from Candy Perfume Girl into Beautiful Stranger could make sense. CPG to me is about ambiguity, non-conforming identify. BS is about celebrating the unknown. That's how I made.the link anyway:-)
Love that! ❤️❤️
last tour with Niki
Oh wow...this was the first time I saw Madonna live. It was alright, i didnt really like this tour. Loved the 04/06/12/19 tours though. All incredible.
So cool that you were able to see this live! ❤️❤️
For me the highlights were the opening and ending of an overall disappointing show - too dark and too much from the ROL and Musuc albums - I derserve it was a cute song though
