Excellent July 23, 2004

Madonna's Girlie Show was a thrilling extravaganza of a show! The setlist combined old hits with material from her then-new-album, Erotica. This book showcases the show with pictures, both behind the scenes and the show itself. Throughout the book, there are captions which promote the show as the spectacular, circus-like escapade that it is. Bottom line, the book truly captures the excitement of the show.
It comes with a 3-track CD, which features live performances of "Why's It So Hard?", "In This Life", and "Like A Virgin". Official live cuts of Madonna songs are a rarity indeed (I believe the only other live track released on CD is "Live To Tell", on the single for "You'll See" as a hidden track). The only complaint I have is that they edited "Like A Virgin" to exclude the portions that blend in Marlene Dietrich's "Falling In Love Again". That was the best part of the song!
If you're a Madonna fan, there's no reason why you shouldn't own this! Aside from the Sex book, this is a very special collector's item. I definitely recommend this!
Great Companion to the Sex book July 14, 2000
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book makes a great companion to the controversial sex book. Though the Sex book was controversial regarding whether it was true art or not, this book proves that Madonna is indeed a true artist, explaining that her concerts are not about her songs, they're more about creating an ambiance, mood, and journey. Though the book is relatively hard to find, it's definately worth it to any Madonna fan, or anyone who wants to impress their guests by displaying it on their coffee table.
The world's gaudiest coffee table book! February 8, 1999

OK, so Madonna's second book was less controversial then her first (I forgot the name, something that rhymes with REX?). But this follow-up is nonetheless creatively assembled and beautifully shot. Think of it as "Truth Or Dare: The Written Edition". Stunning color photographs document Madonna's limited 1993 World Tour, which still ranks as her most glamorous and visually stunning show. Other goodies include behind-the-scenes photos and Madonna's own personal journal of the complicated tour. While turning the pages, you can listen to the CD insert, which features highlights from the show. An excellent book to read right after viewing her original concert film "Truth Or Dare", this is also a great companion piece to the home video "The Girlie Show-Live Down Under".
