On July 18 2004, Madonna played the first of three sold-out dates at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre during her Re-Invention Tour. Playing to a combined total of over 52,000 fans, the shows were the only Canadian stop on the tour and marked her first concerts in Canada in eleven years.
At the second show Madonna proclaimed to those in attendance that they were the best audience of the tour thus far, while the final Toronto date saw Madonna in an uncharacteristically playful mood. Interrupting the show’s normally swift progression between Papa Don’t Preach and Crazy For You, she joked about the infamous 1990 threats of arrest and whipped the audience into a cheering frenzy with her self-described “unprofessional” behaviour.
That was a wonderful and brilliant rendition of Crazy for You! I loved Reinvention! Madonna gave her all on that tour! Even after 32 years, I’m still Crazy for Her!
That was a great clip. I’ve never seen M so giggly, mocking the Toronto police force’s repressive nonsense. Canadians Do It Better when they protest the authorities, ya! (Nice alteration of her t-shirt, Jay.)
Thanks Madonna Lova, glad you like it! 😉
