From Anna:
Well, I am sure I am the one who was the earliest person at the stadium, when no one could enter territory or Luzhniki but staff and guards. She was rehearsing: singing 'Sorry' four times and other songs as well.
When we entered the stadium she was on the stage dancing and singing, still rehearsing. She said to us 'Time goes by sooo slowly....' it meant we had to wait still. Show was late for one hour.
She was nice but seemed to be not so confident: she didn’t know Russian admirers, so I just felt she wasn’t relaxed. Show went by very fast....she didn’t talk too much, mentioned Bush, politics and that she is happy to visit Russia.

From Anton:
THAT WAS THE BEST SHOW I'VE SEEN SO FAR!
Madonna looked happier than ever, smiled and had so much fun, the sound was ENORMOUS (comparing to Bercy, for example). Performance was flawless. Well, except for very minor problems with microphone.
DJ Paul Oakenfold started his set at 7pm, played for 1 hour exactly. The show started at 9:30pm.
Weather was excellent, thank God, lucky for dance floor and fan-zone. Madonna indeed had special heaters blowing hot air on stage.
John Lennon's song 'Give Peace A Chance' during the usual speach was a surprise! She also thanked Moscow's mayor Luzhkov for helping with the organization. (We all know it was terrible, ticket sales, moving stages, etc - bunch of idiots trying to make some cash).
Now, excuse me, where were the 'religious protestors'? Didnt see any. What about 'cross crashing and hurting Madonna'? Didnt happen either. Later I heard on the radio that 5 religious protestors were caught by police. They couldn't even get close to the stadium - LOL - enjoying the police department now, I suppose.
Also, Moscow police reported 'record low number of incidents during the show'. Only 11 people were taken to custody including 5 religious protestors. Rest 6 were 'just drunk'. More than 7,000 military and police force were protecting us all.
Crowd was dancing like there's no tomorrow, we all realize that yet again Madonna ignored all the stupid rumours and threats and made history - first show in Russia. Even during her speach she mentioned 'Look guys, I'm doing this for 24 years and always wanted to come to Russia, finally I'm here!'

From Polina:
She finally made it to Russia! I still could not believe it until I saw disco ball moving towards the stage. I was maximum two meters away from HER! It was a breathtaking performance. Video installations were amazing as very as her costumes.
The show kicked off at 9:30 p.m. Moscow time and all fans were exhausted by long hours wait but when she showed up the stadium roared and started dancing and singing with her. I sang along all song and lost my voice. It was incredible. Everyone around me was so positive and happy to be at Luzhniki.
Madge was not very playful and did not talk much to public though she thanked Moscow city major Luzhkov for helping to make the show happen and of course said her regular 'Peace around the world' stuff. But it was until she started playing La Isla Bonita. Her attitude have changed completely, she was happy to be there, giggling with dancers and smiling.

From Roman:
When we were near the stadium ready to enter after 4 hours of standing in a queue we could hear the sound-check, Madonna did Like A Virgin, Erotica/You Thrill me, Paradise (mostly electronic part), I Love New York (she sang it with an original line – JUST GO TO TEXAS, ISN'T THAT WHERE THEY GOLF). We thought she wouldn’t ask us to suck George Bush’s dick, but during the show she did!).
Then the music stopped, we thought that sound-check was over and the security allowed us to go inside. But something really FANTASTIC happened! When we started entering she continued rehearsing standing in a disco ball and singing 'Future Lovers/I Feel Love' without any make-up, dressed like an ordinary dancer. When we started screaming she just smiled!
Then they played HUNG UP without singing. And after the crowd started to shout M-A-D-O-N-N-A she said: 'See you at the second show (meaning this rehearsal to be the first one).' And then added: 'TIME GOES BY SO SLOWLY'. 3.5 hours really went very slowly. But these several minutes of watching Madonna at the rehearsals were worth waiting for!
