Everybody in here is capable of magic.
Everybody in here is capable of changing people's lives,
lifting people's spirits,
making people think,
pushing people's buttons,
getting people to believe in their dreams.
That's what art is all about.
lt's about creation.
And creation is about life and life is about unity.
We bring people together.
We unite people.
We get ideas and we have dreams
and we bring them to life.
And when we go out on that stage tonight,
we're going to connect to the audience
and they're going to become one with us.
- lt's time to go to work! - Let's go, baby!
lt's over!
Everyone is equal.
Performers are equal.
And the people in the audience are equal.
Enjoy this moment.
l don't know if it will ever happen again.
lt's time to go to work.
- Get out of town! - lt's starting!
lt's an experience that l wouldn't trade
for the world.
And every time l say ''l'm never gonna do it again,''
as soon as l go to somebody else's show
and l walk through the backstage area
and l see the costumes hanging on a rail
and l smell the sweat of smelly dancers' clothes
and l see the Anvil cases with the guitars lined up
and l see the crew guys wandering around with their walkie-talkies,
l feel that hole
and l know that l'm a gypsy at heart
and l can't imagine that l would ever stop doing it.
You open the door--
- l open the door and you get in-- - l get in.
But sometimes, when you get in--
- My legs are spread too far? - Yeah and l can't close the door.
- So, l'm sitting-- - What are you trying to say?
- Well, you know, babe-- - You ain't got no ass anyway.
лл l don't wanna do work... лл
- See, you guys have it easy, okay? - Yeah.
- You're either singing... - Oh, by the way--
...or you're playing or you're dancing.
лл l just want to be a jerk... лл
l gotta sing, l gotta play, l gotta dance.
- l know you do. - And-- and l gotta take all this shit.
Oh God, now it's like when it rains, it pours.
- Anybody else have a criticism-- - Oh, Lord.
l didn't have anything to do with it.
лл But l gotta make a living лл
лл Someone's got to pay for this лл
лл l've got a job to do лл
лл So let's do it. лл
Shit.
See how clever l am when l spun off like that?
l want to share with you my happiness to be here.
lt's an amazing experience for me-- my best.
My life, today, it's--
for me, it's a paradise. lt's a real paradise. l can't dream better.
And l want to remind you of just a couple things--
like your audition, staying here,
the rehearsal--
Ton, Richmond--
when we saw the stage the first time,
l'm sure everybody in this room
said ''Oh my God.''
Emilie! Emilie!
Thank you.
There's something going on in this venue,
in this arena, that make me feel like nervous onstage.
- Let's go! - lt's not a nervous that pulls me back,
it's a nervous that wants-- like makes me want to go onstage
and l love it.
лл Come on, vogue лл
лл Let your body move to the music лл
лл Hey hey hey... лл
l love my job!
Oh my God, it was incredible!
My favorite part of the audition
is always the improvisation.
ls everyone gonna be naked in this audition?
Bad hairdos must go.
Okay, can all the sex club acts stop now, please?
l never think of dancers as just dancers, l think of them as actors.
l'm generally not a big fan
of overly-trained dancers.
They don't resonate with me. l end up always hiring
the most untrained people.
лл Music лл
лл Makes the people лл
лл Come together... лл
- That slow motion shit he does... - Yeah.
- ...it's insane. - лл Music лл
лл Makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel... лл
l never think that they're
- just my backup dancers. - лл Music лл
- лл Makes the people лл - l look for something special.
- He's amazing. - Yeah.
l expect a lot of things out of them.
лл Music лл
лл Makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel... лл
The best dancers just have some kind of street sensibility,
a sense of humor. They have a great look.
l look for originality and uniqueness.
l expect a lot of things out of them.
And l always say to the dancers, ''Just because we hired a choreographer
doesn't mean that you just have to stand there
and listen to what they tell you to do. This is why you got hired.
lf you've got ideas, don't be afraid to speak up.''
And it's always a collaboration.
лл Boogie-woogie, do you want to... лл
We're back in ltaly, back to the ltalian people
who are about to go crazy.
They're running so fast.
Ciao, Madonna, ciao.
- Crazy motherfuckers. - Madonna! l love you!
We're a little pissed.
ltalia, l love you.
This is how live it is. lt don't get no ''live-er'' than this.
Some people accuse me of being an adrenalin junkie,
addicted to excitement--
l'm about to prove them right.
лл Quicker than a ray of light лл
лл Then gone for лл
лл Someone else will be there лл
лл Through the endless... лл
You're being so gentle today. Where's the aggression?
Come on, super macho!
лл Quicker than a ray of light лл
лл l'm flying лл
лл One two three four! лл
All right. The party's done.
What's up?
First show in America.
We came to cheer you up, America.
Monte Pittman, you're the greatest!
You're the greatest!
- Thank you, New Jersey! - Monte Pittman! Yeah!
What's up with that shirt, Jason? Are you pro-gun or something?
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
That's a good answer, Paul.
лл This one's for the ladies... лл
Get away, okay? l want to go back to being the introverted person that l am.
лл l kissed a girl and l liked it. лл
- l like that song. - Well, you're from Orlando.
No, l'm from Boston, thank you.
Okay, well, that's just as embarrassing.
- Okay. - Oh, l'm sorry, Detroit. Yeah.
l can buy another one, okay?
l can do whatever l want with this microphone, all right?
- Aw, shit. - Now you gotta buy another one.
Now look what you did. You got my shit wet.
- You did that. He didn't do it-- l don't-- you--
he went for it. You went for it. Get out of here.
Are you here? Pretty boy.
- Hey. - Hi.
We're talking about my socks here, do you love 'em?
You're always wearing footwear that confuses me.
Yeah, l know.
And thanks for telling everybody on BET...
- Nice glasses-- - ...about-- about my footsies-- yeah.
Come on. Get your shoes on. We got work to do.
- All right. - See you onstage.
- Yes, sir. - лл Glad to be me, gotta get up... лл
You're gonna have to be a little bit more
- fresh with me. - Turn it up right here?
- As soon as l get in the car with you. - Okay, l'll go porno.
- Sell that shit, baby, sell it. - Are we doing it again?
lf you want. l'm not gonna keep singing.
That's the ''M'' l know.
- What? - ''l'm not gonna keep singing.''
We're back.
- So, what-- - l can tell you missed me.
- l did miss you. - You shouldn't have moved
- down to Miami. - Do you have knee pads?
Fuck, no. Don't even start.
- You are not turning me into a damn-- - Dancer?
- No. - лл To the left лл
- лл Let's do it, let's do it лл - лл To the left лл
- лл Let's do it, let's do it лл
- лл To the left left лл - лл Let's do it, let's do it лл
- лл Left left... лл - l came out to soon.
l pushed you away. l shouldn't have done that.
- Sorry. - When she takes--
That's your second time pushing me away.
You saw what happened the first time.
He doesn't have to push me out. l walk out.
Okay, but you came out too soon.
Let's go!
Last chance! Last chance!
лл Too late. лл
Felt like l was on ''Flashdance.''
Favorite moment of the tour, what was your best memory?
- San Diego. - Why?
'Cause that's the night Obama got elected
when we went out onstage. That was a magical night.
Obama, baby!
- We're back! - Yeah!
Baby! Obama, baby!
l don't think l'm going to be able to sing.
l'm going to be crying or smiling.
Obama!
Everybody wants change in the world
and everybody wants unity.
And America has slowly degraded itself
beneath ground zero with all of its greed and consumption
and bad leadership and selfishness
and sociopathic behavior.
l feel like there's finally light at the end of the tunnel
and a chance for us all to come together as one.
Enough people wanted it and it happened.
And we're so lucky to be able to go out there
and celebrate tonight onstage in front of so many people.
This is a historical moment,
a historical evening,
a historical show and l'm really grateful
to share it with all of you people.
Amen and l'm so fucking happy.
Pimpin' ain't easy!
All right, San Diego!
лл The time is right now лл
лл You've got to decide лл
лл Say what you like... лл
l am so fucking happy tonight!
This land is my land!
l sing from the heart!
Just be dramatic, just be theatrical. lt'll be great.
- That's-- - l don't know how to do that.
l know you don't. Yeah, right!
Hey, what's up?
- The stage looks good though. - Yeah, thank you.
- Let's walk through. - лл Tick-tock tick-tock... лл
Then you go, boom. She goes this way.
- You go to the right. - You go to the right.
- What? - l'm good, l'm just trying to follow
- everything that's happening. - One.
- Sometimes l think... - лл What l need лл
- лл ls a you intervention... лл - Three four...
- лл Yeah лл - Seven eight...
лл And l know l can tell that you like it and that it's good лл
лл By the way that you move. лл
Turn him around.
лл Say the word and l'ma give you want you want. лл
- Yeah, you got it-- - Yeah, man, Dodger Stadium!
That was hot!
лл Yeah, come on лл
лл Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock. лл
That is a sparkly...
- ensemble. - Justin, this is what l'll look like.
So, you gonna hump me in some football pads?
- Yeah. - Yeah, we did it. That was--
- Can l wear black? - lnstead of brown.
lt'll match my outfit better.
- l'll see what l got. - Okay.
l bet you-- l bet you have black stuff.
- l-- l hope l do. - l bet you do.
l most likely do. lf not, l'll wear white.
- White would be great. - Okay.
Brown socks with sneakers-- white sneakers?
- Yeah. - l like that look.
лл Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go? лл
лл Come on лл
лл Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock лл
лл Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock. лл
l've only got four minutes
to save the world.
Hurry hurry. l want to hear the song.
Just shut up, all right?
- Get the fuck out of here. - Goodbye.
Let's get ready to get sticky and sweet!
The whole things needs to be a jump-rope extravaganza.
Ain't nothing funny about jumping rope.
She never gets tired. Never.
l wish l could say the same about me.
Which part of the phrase ''Let's go''
does everybody not understand?
лл Give me the bass line лл
лл And l'll shake it, give me a record... лл
l have a note, choreography-- l want everybody to be standing still.
You got it? ''Evita'' footage needs to go to black.
We start with a structure and then we deconstruct.
- лл Don't stop... лл - Your heart is opening...
She pulls it tight around her neck. You kiss--
When are we getting a boxing ring?
Madonna doesn't pay attention to detail.
They're cutting off their tights. ls that a fake flower?
- They're changing their hair. - Yeah, right.
They're doing whatever the fuck they want.
l'm not crazy about the cut of his pants.
Can she have the same socks? Can you pull your gloves up?
- She stays calm. - l yelled at you a lot tonight.
- She doesn't panic. - l'm not a button person!
When she asks for a measuring tape...
- Wardrobe? - ...then you know you're dead.
- Tony, you fucker! - лл Don't stop me now лл
- лл Don't need to... лл - ''Get into the Groove''-- oh dear.
When l'm working on old songs or even new songs,
l'm inevitably already sick of them.
Okay, let's change the bass line. Okay, let's change this keyboard part.
Okay, you know what? l don't want to sing this verse.
This song is too short. l want to make it longer.
l had a hard time hearing my guitar. lt sounded different.
What did you do, Steve? l have to reinvent it
to make it exciting for myself.
- лл Give it to me... лл - Hey, we don't play no games, man.
- лл Yeah лл - Everything here is very intense--
concentrated.
What you learn, normally, in like five years,
you learn it here in six months.
Hurry up!
You have to be on top of your game
when you're working Madonna, which is fantastic.
Artistically, you have no choice
but to become more than what you were before.
Everybody l've known, they've always been like
- ''No, you'll never be able to do that.'' - So boring.
She's always been straightforward with me like
''lf you wanna do it, you can do it.''
''La lsla'' looks amazing. Can you put her balls on?
''You got the power, you got the talent.''
Jump that cellulite off!
- ''You got the drive.'' - Okay.
- ''Do it.'' - лл This ain't nothing new лл
лл Give it to me... лл
l really don't like conventional choreography
like the singer stands in the front and the dancers all dance in the back.
That's not a good answer. Bam! Do you have any other options?
l think of staging and dancing as architecture
and acting and theater. lt's an interplay
between me, the actors/dancers around me and the musicians.
This is what's raw, baby.
Okay, those are my notes. Those are my notes.
Do you have anything else? We have a lot of work to do.
This is a G-rated film...
gangsta.
We have two more days till showtime.
Somebody please pick Madonna up off the floor.
лл We only got four minutes лл
лл Keep it up, keep it up... лл
лл You gotta get in line, hop лл
лл Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock лл
Did you like that?
That was the shit, especially them dancers.
God damn! l love all them dance steps.
All right, so, want to try it with you?
We can-- somewhat.
Going down is nothing new for Tim. Right, Tim?
You gotta go down to keep 'em happy.
- That's right. - Kevin!
You look like you're tired, buddy.
We give him Viagra before every show.
He's not tired.
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes лл
лл Four minutes лл
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes лл
лл Four minutes лл
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes лл
лл Four minutes лл
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes. лл
- Yeah. - Okay, so the only thing, Tim,
is you've got to get on your platform to say
- ''only got four minutes.'' - лл Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock. лл
Okay.
l only got four minutes...
to save the world.
Gotta get ready for the show.
Last one in Miami.
Last one in the States.
About to go to South America.
Film-- can't be too fat.
This is where the big dogs roll at.
This-- you gotta be big to be in this thing right here.
We ain't playing. We ain't playing.
Give me another sip out of your pimp cup, baby.
To be a pimp, you gotta drink like a pimp.
Last show in the States.
- Celebrate. - There you go, there you go.
Last show in the States.
Man, it's just flying and l don't like it when it flies.
- l want it to last forever. - We are especially honored
to have Pharrell and Tim join us
in our celebration of music and life.
You guys are both amazing, thank you.
Thank you for the music that you give people,
thank you for the music you shared with me
and thank you for coming here tonight and doing this show.
So let's go out there and give 50,000 people
a night that they will never forget. Amen.
Amen.
- You got her, Tony? - Please start the show.
l'm kind of nervous. l don't know why.
- Did you tell him to start? - l did, l told him.
Tony, do my jacket first.
- Please start the show. - l'll call the fucking show.
- You got it. - Peter, are you ready?
Yo.
- No need to panic. Stay calm. - Why isn't--
Give me your walkie-talkie.
l said start the show, motherfuckers.
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes лл
лл Four minutes, four minutes лл
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes лл
лл Four minutes, four minutes лл
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes лл
лл Four minutes, four minutes лл
лл l'm out of time and all l got is four minutes... лл
лл Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock лл
лл l only got four minutes лл
лл To save the world. лл
l'm really excited to be heading into South America,
to feel that Latin warmth
and expressiveness
that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world.
Let's really give them a Spanish lesson, okay?
Here we are in Mexico!
Mexico!
лл Let's get this party started right... лл
Habla Espanol.
Hey.
You and this camera-- no matter where l go!
Sorry ass.
лл ''Yo te quiero'' лл
лл Means l love you лл
лл ''Mucho gusto'' means l'm welcome to you... лл
We are in Chile-- Santiago.
Yeah!
лл Here we come... лл
Okay, thank you for coming to the matinee performance.
We'll see you guys tonight!
- This one? - Yeah.
By the way, this is only an idea that l had.
- Okay. - One is maybe l don't play guitar
and l just sing. One is maybe l play guitar and sing.
And one is maybe l don't do it at all.
лл Don't cry for me, Argentina лл
лл The truth is l never left you лл
лл All through my wild days лл
лл My mad existence лл
лл l kept my promise... лл
лл Don't keep your distance. лл
This is my first show in Brazil in 15 years.
l'm extremely excited to be here.
l am, of course, nervous and anxious
because the weather forecast is shit.
lf it's a show stoppage,
it's important for us to-- to leave
we because don't ever necessarily know
what could go on with a show stoppage.
The crowd could get very upset.
Okay, but what happens, God forbid, if it does start to rain?
- Do we stop? - We gotta go for it.
We have to just go for it.
First priority is to dry the floor off.
And we'll keep going, but just know that it will be modified.
- Sure. - Okay?
Whatever happens out there,
just know that that's what was supposed to happen.
lt's still going to be amazing. And we're going to all be
protected by angels.
- лл Get up out of your seat лл - лл Your seat лл
лл Come on up to the dance floor лл
лл l got something so sweet лл - лл So sweet лл
лл Come on up to the front door лл
- лл l need plenty of heat лл - лл Heat лл
лл Form a special confection... лл
- Do you mind? - No!
- Should we continue? - Yes!
Yeah. Yes.
We survived last night.
l'm happy that we got through the show.
лл Jump up лл
лл Like this лл
лл Jump up лл
лл Jump up... лл
Jump in!
The only bad thing about starting a Madonna tour
is that someday you know that it's gonna end.
Today in Sao Paulo,
this is our last show here.
And it's very sad 'cause this is my friend ''Soup.''
l love these guys.
lt's been an amazing tour.
And this-- this is the perspective that l see.
lt's from the back looking forward
and seeing everybody in their private moments
doing the things that they do--
the couples joking around,
everyone rehearsing over and over.
And this is the part that is the fondest to me
and l try to hold and grasp to every second
because l don't ever want it to go away.
Thank you for letting me do this. l love you guys...
and my friend Soup!
This time around, l've been really lucky
to have a group of people that seems to really be genuinely
rooting for one another.
l've never been around so many diverse, talented individuals in my life.
l want to thank you all for being here
and just adding your lives into mine.
This is the biggest experience of my life.
lt's fucking crazy and...
l love you guys.
All your energies and the challenges
that you give me every day, it makes me who l am.
l wish to all of you guys a long life
and also a long artistic life.
l feel like the angels were watching over me
when they guided me towards all of you people in this room
in every department
because you're my family.
lt's the ins and outs, it's the daily grind,
it's the subtleties and the nuances.
lt's that shit day that you had
or that amazing day that you had
or that amazing show that you had--
those minutes, those seconds,
those hours that we've all spent with each other
that nobody back home
can ever experience with us
and will ever truly understand.
You've seen me at my best and you've seen me at my worst
and l still feel loved by you.
And to me, that's family.
And we walk through the fire together.
And we have an unusual and unique experience.
lt's my privilege and my honor
to be able to share the stage with you every night for two hours
and to have some kind of transformation
and to connect to all those people in the audience
and bring them joy
and forget my troubles.
Thank you for saving me, all of you.
Thank you for being a part of this. And l hope it doesn't rain.
- Yeah! - Amen.
Pimpin' aint' easy!
l want to say thank you one more time.
Thank you for having us.
lt's very bittersweet to end a tour.
lt's like letting one of your children go.
lt's something that you've spent so much time with
to go through something that requires so much effort--
the blood, the sweat, the tears.
The highs are as high as the lows are low.
To have such an extreme experience with humanity
and then have it end suddenly.
lt was a perfect way to end the tour.
To go from Buenos Aires to Rio to Sao Paulo
was perfect because the audiences
just got better and better and better
and more crazy and more passionate
and more expressive and more naked
and more beautiful.
And it ended in a very memorable way.
Hey, yo yo yo yo!
Now we got ''Sticky & Sweet'' going down party.
l got my combat boots.
лл Move your body лл
лл Get me from across the floor лл
лл Everybody's watching, but l just want to give you more лл
лл Don't care about nothing лл
лл But l'm fallin' for your love in the worst way лл
лл So move closer 'cause l лл
лл Can feel your body rise лл
лл The heat from you and l лл
лл Just have to fantasize лл
лл We're all alone now лл
лл And l don't care what people have to say лл
лл You don't have to be beautiful лл
лл To be understood лл
лл You don't have to be rich and famous лл
лл To be good лл
лл You just gotta give more more more. лл
