One of my favourite Madonna songs and in fact one of her most successful songs. #5 in the US, Canada and the UK, and #1 here in Australia. Yet it never appears on any greatest hits album nor any tours after this one. Oh well. !
One of her career's greatest mysteries. That, and her resolute ignorance of "This Used To Be My Playground" - her best ballad in my humble opinion (although "Crazy For You" is a close second in my book).
I was at the Detroit taping of The Virgin Tour for the home video at the end of May, 1985. My first concert, I was only 7 years old. I never knew why they cut out the 3 songs from the home video. They were performed the night I went.
@@latengocomoburro in reply to latengocomoburro, It would be worth it to be older to grow up in that period for real, like I did, and I wish I could have been in my mind terms growing up in the late 60's without having to have gone to that good for nothing Vietnam War, the Time Period and Music of the late 60's was Awesome, read about it.
There is Madonna like i used to love!! She was pure explosion! She's phenomenal now a days but at this time she blows every mind and heart. Every fella got crush on her. Our dreams was about her and sometimes our paints get wet because of this dreams!!
Wow! This is the 1st time I see & hear the Virgin tour version of Angel. I knew some songs were cut from the show on video. But wish at some point it will be restored for a BluRay release!
I love that in the early raw vocal years she did a lot of improvs and adlibs in her live shows like this one. Nowadays she's quite reserved. I think her Evita vocal coach effed up her confidence and she just sings it straight.
Loved this song when it came out. She always leaves this song off her greatest hits collections and live tour except this one. This is all for reasons unbeknownst to me.
One of my fav songs I love the keyboard solo in this cassette heaven the quality isn’t very good understandably it’d years old but it has such a warm sound
Many thanks Branco for the upload! One of my favourites and what a treat. ❤️ Any fan who has followed Madonna from the start will know how unique and treasured this is.
For the past couple of days, I imagined an 8-bit version of Madonna's "Angel" being played in a Megaman game. It would more than likely take place in any level at Dr. Wily's Fortress.
Man I wish this was in great HD quality like the rest of the concert, I still dont know why they cut this out since its one of her top 5 hits at the time
I don't think the missing 3 songs on the VHS are because of any 'racy' content. They wanted to make the VHS 1 hour and decided to cut this as it was not great and the costume change made it 6+ minutes and the Burning Up was nearly 6 more minutes too. Not sure why Borderline was a cut victim too, maybe it was a transition song and wasn't that great? Warner Home Video knows why...
I bought this tour! I have it in tape VHS format lol 😂😂😂. I know, it hasn’t been released in digital, don’t know why! ... and this song Angel wasn’t part of the recorded footage :( I LOVE THIS song.. I have the vinyl record in 45 RPM format, is the side B of Into The Groove, so glad I kept my vinyls intact!
Do I hear a Yamaha DX7? the interlude around 3:40 is one of the best parts of this performance. Madonna, clearly exhausted, nailing her vocals is another.
This song was cut from the original concert .I think was some issues with the song .you won’t find on RUclips . Only video collectors original concert has it
I don't think it's her though. It's her former label, Warner Bros. They're brilliant at promoting and marketing albums, but they've always sucked at concert promoting. That's part of the reason she switched Live Nation, they're a concert promoting giant. Madonna knew that any live performances she under their label, would definitely get maximum promotion (especially for a star of her calibre). Also, now that I think of it, A lot of big artist have had issues with Warner's concert promoting. Let's hope they wake up and step up their game
why didnt they feature all the songs from the concert on the video of the Virgin Tour ? Ive not seen the dvd so I dont know if they have added anything. itd be nice to have the whole gig.
steev75 there currently isn't a dvd of this show... as for the songs being cut there are so far two stories, one is that the director felt Madonna's performance wasn't on form for those two. The other, (which is the one I believe as I've heard it a few times) Is that it had something to do with the length of the VHS video, in that it had to be under an hour, so they cut the songs for time...
there isn't an official DVD of the show... you can buy unauthorized DVDs which have been made by fans and available on some fansites, but you can't buy it officially...
Madonna didn't have all the creative control she has now when this was recorded, you have to play by the rules before you can call the shots, that's why the racy ones like burning up....angel and borderline were most likely. I don't think that they are racy, but remember the time, it was the Reagan era.
Tenho 32 anos, aprendi a gostar da Diva Madonna com um amigo RIP: GOMES. Todas as músicas antigas dela (MADONNA) sempre me faz lembrar de momentos ótimos, inesquecíveis e acima de tudo de um tempo que não volta mais. GOMES YOUR MY ANGEL and MADONNA DIVA.
Q buena canción y el recuerdo de esa estaciones de radio como radio éxitos y radio capital y cosmo estereo 103.3 el punto de encuentro saludos amigos y siganse cuidando

Right?? It's crazy!
So unfair. Madonna doesn’t like the song as she neither never performed live too
One of her career's greatest mysteries. That, and her resolute ignorance of "This Used To Be My Playground" - her best ballad in my humble opinion (although "Crazy For You" is a close second in my book).
@@mahtorquatto I'm simply stating fact, its stupid to say the comment is in any way "unfair.". I would never say anything unfair about the great M.
She's got much better songs since then, plus she says interviews that she doesn't like doing old hits, she wants to promote her new work
So mad they left this off the VHS movie. One of my favorites!!
And "Borderline" and "Burning Up."
U kidding me. I would had love to see Burning up during this era. @@aliceitty
All Madonna fans oll over the world, want to have The Virgin Tour complete on Blue ray. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee realeases
Agree
Yeahhhh
And add in the missing 3 songs, dammit.
@pasquale davino
cmq resta una bellissima canzone
YESSSSSSSSSSSS i do not understand why is this not included, her voice is just okay.
The stage was surrounded remember and she was singing directly to fans she was running around everywhere during that concert I was 17
Tammy Plue how much were the tickets?!? Were they really $15?
The 80’s were awesome! I have nothing but love for that decade 😎
what a times..... like if you want to back to 1985 and see this tour live
I was at the Detroit taping of The Virgin Tour for the home video at the end of May, 1985. My first concert, I was only 7 years old. I never knew why they cut out the 3 songs from the home video. They were performed the night I went.
I want to!
Let's hope she comes to her senses and includes this gem in the setlist of her upcoming Celebration Greatest Hits tour.
'..comes to her senses...'🤣 🤣🤣
❤angel❤😊
I heard she doesn't like "Angel." She's probably not to perform "Secret" (difficult), I'd be surprised if she sang "Bad Girl." 😱
Amen! I hope she opens with it!!!
@@mikeycee3483 I heard Keep it Together and Rescue Me might make the setlist.🤞
I wish I was alive in the 80s
I don't think so, You would be way older now.
It was an awesome time I can tell you that the music rocked in the ‘80s! 🤘🏻🎼👄•
Same
Francisco Urrutia I was alive in the 80’s and I saw this concert in Austin,Texas. I was 18 years old. She was amazing and still is!

Omg you nasssssssty lol
The audio quality is amazing, what a shame the image doesn't!!
Wow! This is the 1st time I see & hear the Virgin tour version of Angel.
I knew some songs were cut from the show on video.
But wish at some point it will be restored for a BluRay release!
mi duda será ¿Por qué no volvió a cantar esta canción? en uno de sus conciertos es un exitazo
This is honestly my favorite Madonna song!
Thanks
We didn't see so much, but to ear Madonna singing, it' s make my happy. She rich success by success...
❤
I love that in the early raw vocal years she did a lot of improvs and adlibs in her live shows like this one. Nowadays she's quite reserved. I think her Evita vocal coach effed up her confidence and she just sings it straight.
I liked how her voice sounded for Evita. But I do agree, she does far less adlibs now.
I miss music like this 😭
JUST LIKE AN ANGEL
Like a vigin touched for thevery first time. old memories,
i kind of like how lo-fi this is. it really adds character to an already great performance. but it would be nice to see an official cut, too
Loved this song when it came out. She always leaves this song off her greatest hits collections and live tour except this one. This is all for reasons unbeknownst to me.
Apparently she was advised to sing this on tour and she said she doesn’t sing it because no one would no it according to her !
My will is this song in celebration tour
Queen of Music!
i have the virgin tour live by her , a vhs. i'm only fourteen , i'm glad my mother saved it
One of my fav songs I love the keyboard solo in this cassette heaven the quality isn’t very good understandably it’d years old but it has such a warm sound
The only time that she sang this song and we can't see this performance on the VHS!
you studios have the videos of this, as well as of Borderline & Burning Up from the V tour...c'mon release them! It's 30 years!
And all those people who saw The Virgin Tour home video thought the balloons came down during the performance of Like A Virgin........... nope!!!
tu eres my angel ......madonna......i love you....
Many thanks Branco for the upload!
One of my favourites and what a treat. ❤️
Any fan who has followed Madonna from the start will know how unique and treasured this is.
Truly a shame there are no move live versions of her 1983 and 1985 shows.
You are a big part of my life, and I will always love you, Queen Madonna! You are an angel indeed!
One of my fav madonna songs she was awesome in the 80s
Love this song she was dynamite in the. 80s
What about the Confessions era - she killed it.
Oh my gosh this is my fave song of the album
Classic keyboards as well !real music !
For the past couple of days, I imagined an 8-bit version of Madonna's "Angel" being played in a Megaman game. It would more than likely take place in any level at Dr. Wily's Fortress.
Man I wish this was in great HD quality like the rest of the concert, I still dont know why they cut this out since its one of her top 5 hits at the time
I love you Madonna
buenas! hermosa madonna!
Great memories! Thanks so much for compiling this!
Unique version. What was that keyboard solo at the end?? OMG

I don’t think Madonna likes that song
Looks like watching Madonna via Tron but it was the 80’s
I bought this tour! I have it in tape VHS format lol 😂😂😂. I know, it hasn’t been released in digital, don’t know why! ... and this song Angel wasn’t part of the recorded footage :(
I LOVE THIS song.. I have the vinyl record in 45 RPM format, is the side B of Into The Groove, so glad I kept my vinyls intact!
I remember always hearing this at Fred Meyers in Utah
Amo esta canción
What a great voice
I wish she will sing this on celebration tour
I’m afraid not she doesn’t tho you here Angel briefly in the music clip
omg! those vocals are fierce!
"The only way that this makes sense it that... 🤩"
Man the keyboard solo of it all at the end. Dirty.
I wish I knew who played it. It sounds like 3 players covered those parts.
Do I hear a Yamaha DX7? the interlude around 3:40 is one of the best parts of this performance. Madonna, clearly exhausted, nailing her vocals is another.
David Silva Yes I hear a Yamaha DX7 and an Oberheim OBX for sure.🎹🎵
@@cutiekeys1 Patrick Leonard possibly
@@cutiekeys1 if you ever find out exactly which were used please let me know as this is my favorite thing i’ve ever heard played
That interlude is crazy. It sounds like 3 players..one covering bass and the other 2 exchanging solos and playing pads.
Nunca la a cantado en un tour y sería genial escucharla
eres un lujo MADONNA
Eres Lo mejor del pop mundial, todavia sobreviviendo
GoTTa be backstage footage ❤️🎈🎈 no cell phones
2:15 my favorite
This song was cut from the original concert .I think was some issues with the song .you won’t find on RUclips . Only video collectors original concert has it
Anyone in 2021? 😍
Wish she did release the virgin tour on blue ray or DVD .hd ....

you can buy unauthorized DVDs which have been made by fans and available on some fansites, but you can't buy it officially...
@@cocojimbojambo stories without reputable sources aren't worth repeating
The last intro Chaka Khan
Which Chaka Khan song are you referring to?
Y must b a angel I can c it ur eyes
Eat your heart out Taylor Swift. No one comes close to the mid 80’s Madonna.
In San Francisco Stoneyfeller claimed he remolded built Madonna a 48 Track Studio in 2001
Rare
It’s a shame she doesn’t like this song
2:05-2:10... wow!
♥️🤘
Where is she?
It's a shame Madonna wasn't happy with her vocals, therefore, omitting it from the concert video release.
please confirm the quote from madonna with a reputable source
Stranger Things
Where was that?
Madonna didn't have all the creative control she has now when this was recorded, you have to play by the rules before you can call the shots, that's why the racy ones like burning up....angel and borderline were most likely. I don't think that they are racy, but remember the time, it was the Reagan era.
Is she rehearsing? The audience is dead as shit. I can't hear a thing from them! Anyone else?.....
The audio for this video was replaced by a soundboard from a different concert (to where I don't know
eff the audience. we wanna hear Madonna. Audio is perfect.
oi
and you...can???
bad picture ( where is she ??? ....... ) and audio ........
+Geoffrey Delcorps It was filmed on someones video camera 31 years ago...of course the picture is bad
It’s a brilliant performance
Better than nothing.....
While Madonna was singing the beginning of the first verse, she was lying on top of the stairs.
dyaty.🙆🙅🙍😪😪😓
Yikes! Terrible vocals. So many flat notes. She sounds tired.
I can see why she cut this / her voice was awful on this track which is a shame 🥺
She can't sing!
Hom com madonna never made a video for angel
Great song.I love the vintage rawness of the audio. I adore the instrumental outro too. Hope she sings it again live one day.
Esto es una reliquia.aqui en España no tenemos esa versión en el the virgen tour gravado en vhs. ❤❤❤
Es que no salió ni Angel ni Borderline ni Burning up en el VHS :(
One of her lesser known singles. Even Madonna seems to have forgotten this song.
