This has got to be my all time favorite music video. This never gets old - I can watch it 1000 more times. I was in the other room when my YT mix started playing this and I know the sound of the audience cheering as well as the intro to the song and I thought: "hey I know what that is...". I ran to the living room to find it on my TV and I had to watch it this one more time. She is great in this performance...that was back in her more "normal" days which only lasted another decade. I love early Madonna. It just dawned on me that this video of her live performance is actually pre You-Tube.

[@EpochalNull]

Revolutionary nature aside, she honestly looks stunning here. Whoever did the costume+makeup coordination really nailed the look and made her seem almost ethereal, just, wow.

[@gildedpeahen876]

It’s surprisingly historically accurate and just beautiful. I love the robes anglaises and the powdered wigs. The royal courts of the late 1700s were extremely sexually charged and playful so this isn’t too far off from the way they’d have acted! It’s so fun and you can tell she really loves her dancers. While she was the main performer, obviously, she let each dancer have moments to shine. It’s very unique and it makes me heart smile.
