Madonna has just left the Four Seasons Hotel
in Prague to go to Sazka Arena (15.23pm local
time). She exited by main entrance of the hotel
so that she could say hello to Czech fans camped
outside. This is Madonna's first time in Eastern
Europe.
Thank you to Josko our informer in Prague for
the news. When asked about how she looked coming
out he said "She is beautiful!"

The sound check is being held at Sazka Arena.
"So far there aren't any problems,"
says the assistant organizer of concerts in
Prague, Peter Novak
17:22
The Czech Television reports that police have
caught 50 fake tickets and they are expecting
to find about 150 more
17:38
There are about 80 policeman in uniforms outside
the Sazka Arena, and 40 more incognito mingled
with the crowd waiting for the gates to open.
It is said that the sound check should end at
18:00
17:41
"The Sazka Arena and the stage is ready
for tonight's show. The gate will open at 18:00"
says Zdenek Zikmund, spokesman for Sazka Arena.
"All ticketholders who enter the arena
will not be allowed to enter with any flowers,
teddy bears, or any other toy that they would
like to give to Madonna as a present. This is
a request from her management."
17:53
The spokesman of the
Police department in Prague, Ladislav Bernasek,
appears on the Czech Television, speaking about
fake tickets being found outside the Sazka Arena
18:05
The Gate of Sazka Arena are open and fans have
entered the arena scooping up the best seats
in the house, right by the stage. So far they
are just a few hundred but organizers are expecting
most people to arrive around 19:00
19:32
Czech TV reported that the police are closely
watching for scalpers around the arena. Every
suspicious person has one policeman watching
him and there is around 120 policemen outside
the arena
19:35
TV Nova reported that about 10 policeman escorted
one of the scalpers away from the Arena
20:08
Outside the Sazka Arena it's so busy that it
looks like an auditions into a Hollywood Mega
movie. Many girls are dressed in cowboy costumes,
just like Madonna was dressed for Music. You
can see in everyone’s face that they are
happy to be here and can’t wait to see
the Queen live in concert for the first time
20:30
Sazka Arena is nearly completely full
20:34
Fans don't have a chance to see the soccer game
between Czech - Slovakia for the qualifying
into EURO 2008. This is a big deal, no like
when Red Hot Chili Peppers had a concert here.
While they were playing the fans could watch
soccer on the screens
20:36
Everyone is waiting patiently for Madonna
20:49
Sazka Arena looks like
one big disco floor. Disco ball are hanging
down from the sealing. People can't wait to
see the Queen, Madonna, they are calling her
name very loud
21:02
the crowd does the wave and it goes through
the whole arena
21:11
It gets dark in the arena
21:11
Huge Disco ball comes down from the ceiling
21:20
The queen of Pop is on the stage for the first
time in Prague, first time in Easter Europe
21:20
She is wearing the riding
outfit and singing “Future Lover"
21:23
"Hello Prague, are you ready?" asking
Madonna. The whole arena answered "YES"
She is starts singing "Like a Virgin"
21:31
"Ladies and Gentleman of Czech Republic,
thank you for coming", said Madonna while
behind her they show video of the city while
she sings "Jump"
21:44
Sazka Arena is breathing
the first notes of "Live to Tell."
The video is showing the hunger and poverty
of the third world countries. Madonna is crucified.
When she got down from the cross the whole arena
of her fans cheered for her
21:50
The cross has disappeared from the stage. Madonna
is getting ready to sing “Isaac.”

22:02
Now she sings "Like It or Not" in
her high hills and burgundy color boots
22:09
The star of the evening has disappeared. On
the screens you see video of Osama bin Laden,
George Bush, Fidel Castro and the nuclear bomb
to go off. Then Madonna runs into the stage
all dressed up as a rock star with a guitar
22:11
Is the next song "Ray of Light?”
Is she keeping the same song list as before?
22:15
At the end of the song "I Love New York"
there was a little problem with the sound, her
guitar was vibrating a little. Then for "Ray
of Light" she asks the arena to jump up
and down |

22:34
While she was singing the song "Let It
Be" she really talked shit about American
president George Bush
22:40
now she is singing "Paradise" (Not
for Me) from her album "Music". Madonna
is giving a microphone to some of her fans in
the first row to help her sing
22:44
Madonna's song "Music" was played
in the year 2000 in the clubs all over the world
and she is singing it now on the stage in her
Travolta suite where she does the famous move
where she grabs her crotch
22:56
After an hour and 45 min the stage got lit up
by the sun. Madonna dancing between the palms
started the hit "La Isla Bonita" from
her album True Blue
23:01
The end is unfortunately very close. Madonna
got into the sexy moves in Erotica and trough
the arena you can hear the beginning of "Hung
Up" (the last song of her show
23:05
The end is here. The golden balloons falling
down from the ceiling. Madonna has her jacket
and glasses on, which always belongs to song
Hung Up
23:09
... "Have You Confessed?" ... The
End ... The first Prague show of the Queen just
ended! |

23:36
I just called
my friend Josko who just got out of the arena
and he said that the atmosphere was amazing;
everyone was screaming, dancing, singing. Madonna
was very relax and beautiful the whole time.
She even let
fans sing the whole part of the Drowned World
/ Substitute For Love:
"
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love"
She was talking a lot about freedom and that
we should respect our freedom, probably referring
to Czechoslovakia being a Communist country
for a very long time. |

MADONNA YOU HAVE MADE
MY DAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING PRAGUE
ON YOUR LIST
I have posted this letter on Icon board in November
2005 and today is the day it was officially
announced that Madonna would be performing in
Prague at Sazka Arena on September 6th, 2006.
I'm sooo happy for my friends in Czech, Slovakia.
They have been her fans forever and they have
long awaited this visit. Thank you so much.
posted:November, 2005
Madonna you should definitely visit Eastern
Europe.
Let's say Prague.
You have sooo many fans there who followed your
every move for 20 years and had no chance to
see you live in concert. As you know Eastern
Europe was, for a very long time, part of the
Communist Block and it was very hard for you
to visit and even harder for us to travel abroad
to see you. Even now, with Eastern Europe integrating
into the European Union, it's still not easy.
Most of the people cannot afford to travel to
London or Paris. I was one of those fortunate
enough to be able to come to the USA, and after
12 years of being your fan, I finally got my
chance to see you live on your Drowned World
Tour. I wish all of my friends from Slovakia
could have that chance too. So they can experience
your true energy live not just from the stories
I tell them. They have stood by you for so long,
they love you with all their hearts and they
would treasure your visit forever.
I would like to thank you. Because of you, I
have found the greatest friends you can wish
for, friends that stay forever, even now that
I'm here and they are back home. Thank you for
bringing us together.
Daniela. |

to perform at eight sold-out concerts in London

Jamie King and Stuart Price. Two other long-time
members of Madonna’s creative team –
Arianne Phillips and Jean Paul Gaultier –
take care of costumes. So far these concerts
have been considered the best in Madonna’s
art history and, naturally, a spectacular show
for everyone.
Madonna’s last “Re-Invention Tour”
was the best in 2004 according to the Billboard
magazine.
The composer, child book writer, producer and
video-missionary with an unrivalled reputation
for her amazing stage show, who has received
a few Grammy awards, has sold more than 200

throughout the world. For more information please
