On August 5 1990, Madonna – Live! Blond Ambition World Tour 90 was broadcast live on HBO-TV from Stade de l’Ouest, Nice, France and seen in more than 4.3 million households – it was the most-watched entertainment special in the network’s 18-year history (at the time).
In retrospect, Blonde Ambition was the beginning of the Sex Years. Madonna would reinvent her life and image four years later with #1 hit Take a Bow.
