I LOOOOOOOOOOVE how the live album of I'm Going to Tell You a Secret sounds. TCT sounds amazing too. The Sticky and Sweet Tour has those rerecorded vocals but I kinda like it, idk I love how the bass and drums sound lmao. I know it's nothing like the real deal but I really enjoy it. The MDNA Tour has great vocals but that mix is just... sad.

01.- I'm Going To Tell You A Secret (the first place for the amazing sound and the unusual bonus track of the demo rock of I Love New York).

02.- The Confessions Tour (the second place only for this CD omits Live to Tell and includes the bored first interlude in his place, but the sound is perfect).

03.- Sticky & Sweet Tour (is a great recopilation of very important highlights of the tour but the vocals are so fake xD, but his sound is good).

04.- MDNA World Tour (the last place for the fake crowd over all songs!, for me is awful :s).

I hate the fact that they are not full recordings!

I love Imagine live in IGTTYAS!

 

I agree should be more the full set; MDNA is the closest. I will say the biggest disappointment was not having Into the Groove from Sticky (I LOVE the jump sample) got the DVD rip and she talks over the entire sample.

1. S&S

2. Confessions

3. MDNA

4. IGTTYAS

 

My issue with IGTTYAS is that it sounds like she's screaming her lyrics, especially in the last section. Which is ironic because during the first leg of this tour, her voice was the most beautiful that it has ever been live; by the time she was wrapping up the USA, it changed.

1. MDNA World Tour

(I know it has it´s flaws, like bad mastering and fake audience noise but it does not bother me. I love this tour, it´s my favorite and I love that we got the full show on 2 CDs, I listen to it a lot)

2. Sticky & Sweet Tour

(I love the renditions and mash-ups of this tour and I think the track selection is very good, the fake vocals don´t bother me again)

3. IGTTYAS

(I like all tracks here but this tour was so good it´s a crime to include so few songs on that CD, there was space for 15 minutes more if they excluded the demo and used full space of a CD)

4. Confessions Tour

(I barely listen to this cause I don´t like the selection of songs. Why the hell is Live To Tell omitted ?!)

So hard to choose I live for her Live Mixes.

1. Confessions. The Audio is so crisp. Also being a Dance music tour the Audio sounds incredible.

2. Sticky & Sweet sounds great- It's just I'm not so into that era musically.

3. MDNA tour has potential the mixes are great just the quality of the music isn't as crisp and clear.

4. I'm Going to tell you a secret is ok. She delivered with the prerecorded vocals.

They all suffer from either questionable song choices to be included on the finished product or shoddy mastering work.

If I had to rank,

1. MDNA (Because it's complete although it does have many flaws, those already mentioned above)
2. Confessions (Probably the most enjoyable though interludes over Live to Tell; makes no sense)
3. S&S (Good renditions of classics, though the vocals (fake ones) are jarring especially when her live shouting comes in)

4. IGTTYAS (It's decent but lack of a visual keeps you from enjoying it)

1. I´m going to tell you a secret because this was the first Live CD and I cry, when I listen it...plus I love the raw version from "I love NY"

2. MDNA Tour....all Songs but not the best work, anyway I love the 2 Disc set and wish this for RHT too

3. Confessions Tour...I like the Audio Version from the Interlude`s (minus "Confessions") but miss "Live to tell" and some more songs

4. Sticky & Sweet Tour...miss the Intro for "Candy Shop" and for "Die Another Day" plus some other live songs from the concert

1. The Confessions Tour

 

As Madonna is selecting the songs on her tours mostly from the album she is supporting with the tour, live albums tend to have such an inclination as well. My favorite among the albums from "American Life" to "MDNA" is COADF, so this one takes the crown. As much as I feel the absence of 'Live to Tell', I also find the dancers' confessions highly inspiring. I also would like to have the performance of 'Get Together' and would live without 'Sorry (Remix)'.

 

2. Sticky and Sweet Tour

 

That remix of 'Like a Prayer' is just to die for! This alone could be worth to purchase the album. I would like to have 'Die Another Day', though, whose audio I separately have.

 

3. I'm Going to Tell You a Secret

 

I like the live performances of 'Vogue', 'Nobody Knows Me', 'American Life', 'Lament', 'Imagine', and 'Like a Prayer'; but don't really care for the overlong 'The Beast Within'. I would also love to have 'Nothing Fails', 'Hanky Panky', and 'Burning Up' if not 'Bedtime Story'.

 

4. MDNA World Tour

 

I really don't care anything about "MDNA" and this tour was inevitably full of songs from it. That being said, I like the recordings of 'Express Yourself/Born This Way' and 'Give Me All Your Luvin''.
