The set-up for this Madonna show was a lot like her last US tour – shooting three songs from the soundboard. Madonna spent two of the songs on the catwalk extending from the stage, but she only came about halfway down, so she was still a good distance from us. If you’re shooting this tour, bring at least a 300, but a 400 would be best. She actually has a platform for the photos to shoot from, but it’s very narrow so be sure you’re one of the first people up there so you can grab a good spot. I only stayed for the first three so I can’t tell you how the show was. Read the Washington Post review to see what they thought.
