I watched the Madonna concert when it aired on HBO, and I enjoyed it. I decided to buy the DVD and I was BLOWN AWAY! The sound is spectacular, different camera angles are featured, all to give the viewer the best Madonna experience. I HIGHLY recommend buying the Drowned World Tour DVD. It really seems like Madonna is enjoying herself onstage and having a really good time performing. Her voice is top notch and her dancing is superb. People always talk about how much Madonna has changed over the years, but her performance of Holiday takes you back to 1981. All that's missing is miss-matched lingire and some bracelets.

**SOME SPOILERS** AHEAD.I've just bought the other day the amazing Madonna: Drowned World Tour -dvd. Since I didn't have the chance to attend the concert cause I live in Finland, I had to buy the dvd. Let me tell you it's one of the best concerts I've seen in a long long time. The opening of the concert with Madonna slammin' on a guitar is out of this world. Personally my favourite part of the concert was a geisha-sequence, which reminded me of the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon -movie. Also the dolby stereo 2.0 sound makes the experience all the more real. At some point I felt like I was truly there in the audience, what really impressed me was the fact that Madonna sounded as great as 9 or 10 years ago and It looks like nothing can stop her, to me she's a such an inspiration. Buy this dvd if you have the opportunity and I assure you you're in for a real treat.

It was more like a complete sensory experience. I saw the show in DC about 2 weeks before the HBO airing & was blown away. Madonna has always taken the concert experience to a new level & this was her zenith. A lot of people complained that she did not perform her "old hits," but that is a ridiculous. This show took each song & wrapped it into a story arc all from the viewpoint of 5 different characters - Punk Rock Glam Gal, Arial Butt-Kicking Geisha, Cyber Cowgirl, Latina Goddess & Pimp Mommy. The efx were amazing...from floating on a cloud of smoke when we first see her enter the stage TO flying through the air assaulting a gang of rogue ninja TO riding a mechanical bull. She has raised the stakes of pop music once again.

Madonna has given yet another fantastic tour. The Drowned World Tour of 2001 was definitely the hottest ticket of the year. Every show sold out in record breaking time. This HBO taping is great. Watching this woman give one amazing show stopper after another is proof of what a talented and brilliant entertainer and performer she is. In the tradition of The Virgin Tour, Who's That Girl Tour, Blonde Ambition Tour, and The Girlie Show Tour, Madonna delivers the goods and once again captures the world's attention. Forever the biggest star on Earth - It's all about you Madonna.
