KindnessPunk28 1,506 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 30 years ago today Madonna embarked on what has come to be known as the greatest pop concert of all time, the Blond Ambition Tour. It was launched in support of her two recent albums, Like a Prayer and the movie soundtrack I'm Breathless. Incorporating many religious and sexual themes, the tour generated much controversy as it crisscrossed the planet. Of particular interest is an incident in Toronto, Ontario where police threatened Madonna with arrest due the "obscene" performance of Like a Virgin. (hint the Queen got her way). Not only that but the tour also brought to light other issues facing the world tour, particularly gay rights. The Blond Ambition Tour is the blueprint for the modern pop concert. Without it there would be no extravagant sets, multiple costume changes, story lines, NONE of the staples of a live show would exist had it not been for this groundbreaking creation. Come on, get into the groove, and remember this iconic tour today! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati Freak 2,432 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I went to all three Toronto shows and was front row the night the Police came to arrest her. She was extra naughty that evening with the cursing and crotch grabbing. My friends and I knew something was up because of her mood and the way she was acting. Legendary tour that set the bar high for all future concert tours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I wish she would do something like this again. The looks, the performances - she has not done anything that nearly as great since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblegum Bitch 18,934 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I didn't like this tour when I saw it for the first time, mostly because of this Jazz part (honestly, I still don't like it, though Hanky Panky is a good song). But Express Yourself, Open Your Heart, Like A Virgin, Like A Prayer (a highlight of the show, for me) performances are amazing, and I can't imagine how incredible it was to witness this art back in 1990s.
