when Madonna was an up and coming club kid in the late 70s and early 80s she hung out with the art and queer communties dating Jean-Michel Basquiat and befriending Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and others. She and Basquiat had a bad falling out before she became famous but she remained close to Haring, who she covered the costs of his hiv treatment, life expenses as he got sicker, and to Warhol. both attended her wedding to Sean Penn. one of the last works of art Warhol did was design the jackets for this number. some of the jackets just say dance on the back, some say you on the back and some have a campbells soup can on the back and she has a giant u on the front right, a campbells soup can on the front left on the back is dance so U CAN DANCE. this performance is based on the Shep Pettibone 12 inch remix and is one of my favorite performances of hers. the keyboardist they cut to is Pat Leonard
She is a professionally trained dancer (though, clearly it's a natural talent,) trained in Ballet first and modern dance with the Alvin and Ailey dance troupe, and under Martha Graham. (I love Martha Graham's autobiography, "Blood Memory." M is also the most butch on this tour married to Sean Penn, and I love her.
def one of the best pop songs ever created. *EVER.* and the Whos That Girl performance of the song is her _BEST_ performance of it out of _every_ tour hands down.
The artists of before really were artists, Madonna is the best presenter of all time for a reason, and the highest grosser of her contemporaries, today no artist dares to do something like this 💐❤️
As a fan since 1983, Into the Groove has always been up there in my top 5 M tracks. It’s totally timeless. If she doesn’t perform it on this years tour, I’m gonna go off. 😂
I'm so glad you reacted to this performance and I wish more people would, it's one of her best live performances! I remember seeing this tour when I was 14 my mom took me, and it blew me away! We were all up dancing for this number, and she was so on fire for it!
And. She’s. Still. Dancing. The current naysayers need to drop all the toxic trolling of “she’s too old” or “she’s had this or that done” or “she can’t let go of her position”. We are living in the going on 5 decade reign of one of the most committed, interesting, intelligent, challenging and just plain FUN entertainers this world has ever or will ever know. She’s always had naysayers in legion, but it’s nothing compared to the legions who adore her. All those others need to shut it and be grateful such an epic artist is still going strong. Queen. 👑.
This has always been an awesome number for Madonna…my ranking of her tour performances of this: 1) the original, Virgin Tour (1985); 2) this one, Who’s That Girl Tour (1987); 3) Re-Invention Tour (2004, the Scottish highland theme of pipes, drums and tartan kilts); 4) Sticky&Sweet Tour (2008/09, the street DJ double Dutch jumping ropes feat). Appreciate you reacting to this hit.
Back in the day I remember trainers saying she worked and trained harder than an Olympic athlete when preparing for a tour… I honestly don’t believe that comment to be too far fetched tbh… 💚
Her concerts were so full that how she expected that people dance?! enough if they can breath!!! When I saw her in concert, was fascinating how she fills, dominates and control the whole stage, her presence, energy, dancing, singing, doing the show, and at the same time paying attention about was going on on the stage! and when people throw a plush to the stage, even if she is in the middle of a dance number, she always throw the plush away, because she knows that if a dancer trip over the plush, his carriere could be over! ! I was impress how she controlled everything without loosing the magic and the groove!
i love that you're reacting to this version. I grew up watching the official version and to this day can recite it word for word, so it's great to see something fresh on something i know so well. The energy Madonna has to sing and dance throughout this show is unrivalled imo!
She raised the bar high for this pop concert and raised the bar to stratosphere with BA and pretty much stayed around there till now. Hoping for an amazing concert that is Celebration Tour.
This vid turns me into a blubbering wreck. I absolutely love it. I was 16 years old when I seen this tour live @ roundhay Park Leeds. Iv watched the whole concert 110s of times. Roll on December 6th celebration tour in London my 7thmadonna concert
Those "U can Dance" jackets are still one of my favorite things ever! Had the pleasure of telling that to the costume designer Marlene Stewart when she came in the vintage clothing I was working at in the early 2000s. (That and the crazy "Dress You Up" bustier from this tour) Anyway, i tried desperately not to gush too much and embarrass myself!
And to think, people constantly said she "always lip synced" and "sounded terrible live". If you haven't seen or reacted to this song from the "Sticky and Sweet" tour, it's a lot of fun and a pretty unique performance. Gonna head over to your Patreon and take in all the extras and longer reactions...I'm sure it'll be worth it!
Thank you, plenty there to keep you going! I haven't heard anything from that tour or album yet- I'm looking forward to getting to her more recent stuff actually
One of her best! I don’t like drums/percussion as much live as I do on the studio version, though. Would LOVE a reaction to the music videos to Caroline Polachek’s “Door” or/and “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings”!
Yessss..this is why nobody came close to her performing live accept maybe Michael J. A dancer, an athlete, powerball of energy. i mean seriously ..knackered just watching this
Love your reactions. I think some of the vocals are better from this footage. She and, The look of Love, perfect on the unofficial releases. I grew up with everything Madonna.
She was never better . . . live and in concert ... free and fun... .really great! Later, however, she got gross and weighted down with productions obviously more talented than she. ... maybe unkindness of personality played a part(?) We all see what has happened. Today, trapped in blown up skin. . .. not even the hook can help her out of this current, into groove . Sill we have our memories preserved in videos like theses. So thanks for helping us remember. :)
This is the reason why everyone chases the Queen 👸
No one can doubt her talent and energy. Madonna was amazing.
My favourite song of all time!! Madonna is the best, fu** the rest😂😂😂 thank you for choosing this one...bellissimo😅

I had no idea they were Warhol jackets! That's great
WOW, what an Outstanding posse of musicians, true professionals!.
Ciao Itália. I might have watched this show on VHS more than a thousand times. ❤
I saw this tour at the old Wembley, however her blonde ambition tour was groundbreaking 😊
Never seen this Italy performance with these different camera angles
This is not my favourite tour of M but it may be at her most athletic. She was an absolute beast of a dancer back then. The energy is off the charts.
It's amazing to me - there is no let up from start to finish
She is a professionally trained dancer (though, clearly it's a natural talent,) trained in Ballet first and modern dance with the Alvin and Ailey dance troupe, and under Martha Graham. (I love Martha Graham's autobiography, "Blood Memory."
M is also the most butch on this tour married to Sean Penn, and I love her.
Cool version! Nice to see a different version! Love it!!
Love this performance! She has never stopped dancing! 💃

She loves to perform still does so leave be now be nice
Damn.....girl puts on a effing show.....❤

This was at the end of the show. And she has THAT much energy still AND can still sing!!!! WTF? lol. She's not human.

My very first time I saw her live. Still feel it... It was amazing!
"Into the Groove" is one of the best songs ever made!

This is the best female entertainer of all time

My fav from this is Holiday live❤
One of my favorite performances of INTO THE GROOVE is from the Reinvention Tour! 🔥🔥🔥

Pat Leonard was dogan that key board and Jay was sick on the piano
Love your reactions. I think some of the vocals are better from this footage. She and, The look of Love, perfect on the unofficial releases. I grew up with everything Madonna.
Coming to the tour? I heard it will be ground breaking
Yep, in December, London! First US date is next month I think? Can't wait to hear some reports back from that one
@@bridgethegapreactions I heard from insider that it’s her biggest tour ..she’s planning to wow us in a way we don’t expect
I saw you reacting to some Kylie too, you must watch her Aphrodite Tour will blow your mind
I've done a couple of reactions, will definitely do the whole thing one day!
What happened to the Virgin Tour
It's on Patreon. I posted Into The Groove and Gambler from that tour on youtube a couple of months ago
That was great ???! You’ve gotta go lol
She was never better . . . live and in concert ... free and fun... .really great! Later, however, she got gross and weighted down with productions obviously more talented than she. ... maybe unkindness of personality played a part(?)
We all see what has happened. Today, trapped in blown up skin. . .. not even the hook can help her out of this current, into groove .
