September 15, 2001 // Madonna plays the rescheduled gig which was due sept 11, and her last show of the "Drowned World Tour"


Tonight Madonna plays the rescheduled gig that originally was supposed to happen on tuesday. It's her last show of the tour, which is also attended by Jack Nicholson and Lara Flynn Boyle. And many small changes mark her 47th and final concert. For a start, the show doesn't start off right away with the Drowned World intro, but with the intro that was used on the Girlie Show; a circus song that preluded Erotica. Then Drowned World kicks off and Madonna comes on stage with the US kilt.
At the end of Candy Perfume Girl, Madonna rips off her guitar and slams it to the ground. Then when Niki and Donna get the Beautiful Stranger on stage, this is none other than Guy Ritchie. Madonna fights against the girls and throws them on the ground so she can have her Guy all for herself backstage.
During Nobody's Perfect, the samourai master shows some mercy on her when he reaches down and gives her a quick peck on the cheek.
As she's going into the last two songs, the crowd goes mad. This is really the end. During Holiday there are not just Madonna, Niki and Donna dancing on stage, but all the dancers gather and finish that fantastic dance classic together. Finally they go into Music. At the point where they are doing the deep-knee bends, the dancers stop and gather around Madonna who continues alone. Then the three final beats of the show. And of the Drowned World Tour. "Thank you and goodnight!". 
47 shows in 17 cities. A few hundreds of thousand fans have seen Madonna play live. A few millions have watched it on HBO or some other TV channel. The Drowned World Tour has been a huge success. Myself, I'll never forget the wonderful experience of seeing Madonna four times. I hope all of you have enjoyed it as much as I did.




She begins the cowgirl part on the left side of the stage this time. After Human Nature she holds a short speech again, but this time not about the attacks. "It's been a week of sadness, but tonight I'm going to be a little selfish.". She then reflects on the tour and thanks everyone: the dancers, musicians, Niki and Donna, the guys that work under the stage and backstage, the makeup, hair, security, stage hands, grips, and Mike who's in charge backstage. She brought him out to the stage and he got a huge applause. She thanks everybody, including Los Angeles. She climbs the stairs to sing Secret, but she is obviously choked up and on screen we see her wipe away some tears. While singing Gone, she lays back on stage, as if she's saying 'It's over and I'm so exhausted'.
