Last Tango In Paris
Our reader Wayne wants to share with fellow Tribers his tour experience from the last Paris show.
“Wow, what a weekend!!! After the killer journey from South Wales to Paris, I decended on the french capital ready to get into the groove one last time. This was Madonna last show in Paris and we were treated with yet another Madonna Extravaganza!!From the haunting ‘Beast within‘ right through to holiday, the show was slick, precise and enthralling. The crowd was amazing too, the french do the best mexican waves Ive seen. Just before the show a little old lady was causing a commotion of her own in the V.I.P. area. Some said it was the presidents wife but we were only interested in the first lady of pop.
Late as usual, the show began to some of the loudest screams Ive heard at her shows so far. French fans really are the wildest!! Just before ‘Imagine‘ we were asked to think about what was going on in Russia at the moment and this was the most touching performance of the song Ive seen. Throughout ‘Holiday‘ the crowd kept chanting ooooh oooh and Madonna acknowldged this and at the very end joined in as she left the stage.
In my opinion this was the best crowd Ive been in on this tour. It was my 6th Reinvention show and I feel the best was saved til last for me. Now I have no money left but what I do have is fond memorys of a summer I spent travelling around watching Madonna. I’ve been to Manchester, London, Ireland and France and its been an awesome experience. Depressed now that its over. So last night as we made our journry back to Swansea, Wales, me and a few other Madonna maniacs had a little aftershow party of our own. Several bottles of wine later and our bus was transformed into a karaoke bar on wheels, Im sure there will be hangovers this morning. So we have seen the T shirts, ‘brits do it better‘ ‘irish do it better‘ even ‘french do it better‘ but for me it was the welsh that done it better. xxxxx”
