"The Virgin Tour Live" DVD
UK DVD Release date: 1st June 2015
The UK release of this concert was the first time the band has performed "Virgin Tour" in its entirety, albeit with some differences from the show in its 1985 original release.
In 1985 Madonna performed "The Virgin Tour" in Europe and the UK, becoming the first artist to release a "live" concert album from the tour, having filmed and produced the shows at Wembley Arena and Brixton Academy. The film was initially aired in May 1986, and the first release of this concert, entitled "The Virgin Tour Live", was recorded from the Brixton show, and subsequently released in November 1987. In 1992, the show from Wembley Arena was also released under the name "The Virgin Tour – Live at Wembley Arena", after being remixed, and the other show of the tour was released a few years later, in December 2000, as "The Virgin Tour Live – LA" with a different name, but having the same set list as the 1992 Wembley show, and most of the 1986 Brixton show.
In 2001, the original "The Virgin Tour Live" was re-released with an extra disc (previously released in France in 1989, the Netherlands in 1996, and Brazil in 2000) containing the same concert footage (except for "It's My Life" and "Crazy for You") from the 1986 Brixton concert, recorded directly from the RF video feed, but with a different tracklist. The Brixton show was also released with a slightly different tracklist (except for "Vogue" and "Into the Groove") in 2003, along with a DVD of the complete concert from 1988.
In February 2004, the show from Wembley was re-released under the title "The Virgin Tour: Live at Wembley", including the 1987 "The Virgin Tour Live" as a bonus disc. A fourth DVD of the 1980 US concert was also included on this release.
