Sticky & Sweet Tour

Madonna's eighth worldwide tour to promote her latest studio album Hard Candy, Stick & Sweet Tour, was released on CD/DVD earlier this year. The tour itself began in August 2008 in Cardiff, Wales, and concluded in September 2009 in Tel Aviv, Israel. It earned in upwards of $408 million  becoming the highest grossing tour by a solo artist, breaking the previous record Madonna herself set with her 2006 Confessions Tour.

The live album Sticky & Sweet Tour became Madonna's nineteenth top-ten album in the United States. It featured a CD as well as a DVD, or blu-ray. While the DVD showed the tour in its entirety, the CD was missing almost an hour of the tour. That was real disappointment, but most of the best performances were on the CD, except "Into the Groove" for some reason. Watching DVD was very enjoyable though. Madonna still manages to be sexy, energetic, and musical while performing at age 51. The two performances that really stand out are "Vogue" and "Into the Groove". I also really liked the "Die Another Day" video interlude for some reason.

I would definitely give this album a try, especially if you are a Madonna fan, but don't expect to find a lot of classics, as it is supporting her 2008 album Hard Candy.
