On [November 20, 1993] The Girlie Show: Live Down Under was filmed and released on April 25, 1994.

The broadcast was produced in association with  HBO  and was titled  Madonna Live Down Under: The Girlie Show . Initially, the November 20 show, the second of two dates at the  Sydney Cricket Ground , was to be filmed and aired. However, a massive storm forced the cancellation of the show, so the November 19 show, which had been filmed as a "safety show", was aired instead in USA (HBO) and Germany (Premiere). A month later an edited version of this original broadcast was shown on UK TV (Sky). A re-edited version of this concert was released worldwide on  VHS  and  Laserdisc  on April 26, 1994 as  The Girlie Show: Live Down Under . It was nominated for the  Grammy Award  of  Best Long Form Music Video  in 1995. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girlie_Show:_Live_Down_Under

"Sticky & Sweet Tour" - [16 November 2008] Minute Maid Arena, Houston, USA + soundcheck photo's

Madonna's back in Texas, for the first time since the  Blond Ambition Tour ! For some weird reason, Madonna couldn't recall that in  Houston  and told the crowd she had never been there (even though she opened the US leg of the 1990 tour in Houston). During the request section, she urged people to keep clapping as an exercise, because in the front rows she saw people who needed some exercise. She then introduced her guitar player & teacher Monte Pittman to the audience, since he's from Texas. For the request song, she let a front row fan, Tommy, to decide. The choice was  Secret , the first single of the 1994 album  Bedtime Stories . Madonna has not performed it since 2001, but surprisingly she knew the words very well and she did most of the song, not just a small snippet. She was satisfied with the participation of the Texas fans and even thanked them for reminding her of the track, because she forgot it (watch  here )
