I just wanna say gracias

Our long time reader Chris Pedraza from Mexico’s City has sent in his report from Madonna’s opening night. It was the first time in 15 years she was back performing in his country.

“Well, I don’t wanna bore you with a song by song review, I rather just give you some tiny details about what happened during the 2 hour show. First of all, it was totally SOLD OUT, not one single empty seat and in the VIP section you could see many mexican actors and singers in the crowd, all of them having a blast just like the rest of the fans.

I came to the Foro Sol (the venue) around 4:30pm with my bff and my mother, we got the chance to hear Madonna doing her soundcheck, she did “Miles Away”, “You Must Love Me”, “Music”, “Heartbeat”, “She’s Not Me” & “Into The Groove”.

Inside, before the show started I got the chance to take a few pictures with the dancers, I think it was Antboogie and one of the Taluega Brothers, they were really cool.

Now, during “Spanish Lessons” Madonna almost fall on stage!! It was really quickly but you could see her trip while she was down the steps on her way to the catwalk, it was kinda scary because her face showed some surprise, I don’t know if she was nervous or something…

She interacted with the crowd several times, she said something around these lines: “It’s been a long time since I came to Mexico, so let’s make a big deal! I can’t think of a better place to start the tour in south america, I just wanna say ‘gracias’…”

The requested song of the night was… “Sorry“, but before that another guy asked for “Deeper & Deeper” but Madonna dismissed saying “that one is dificil” (too complicated) and went with another fan, what a bummer, I really wanted her to sing the original request.

Anyways, overall it was a magical night, one sure to be remembered by me, so far I’ve seen Re-Invention & Confessions Tour abroad, but the feeling of having her in your own country can’t be compared to anything!

Cheers and keep the great work!

Thanks to Chris.
