The Virgin Tour

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall Portland, OR April 15th & 16th 1985

SOLD OUT

At the beginning of ‘Holiday’ Madonna almost called out Seattle, but stopped herself, got confused as to where she was, and finally realised it was Portland.

Madonna’s a new kick

By John Wendeborn (The Oregonian)

The Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall looked like a high-tech videodrome Monday night, a reflection of the importance of the visual impact on rock ‘n’ roll in the 80′s, but none of the effects could compete with the star of the show, an energetic, agile - and sensual - Madonna.

This young dancer turned pop star has moved to the front of the line with stunning videos, good music and an image that’s basically punk puberty, although she’s 24 years old. Her latest LP is “Like a Virgin” and many of her songs have a seductive message. She’s scorched MTV with the hottest videos seen on the cable channel, but her live show definitely cuts deeper.

The 75 minute program was complete with several costume changes and a tight band that played the funky new wave material with choreographed precision. But, as in an increasing number of pop acts, the star and her image took precedence over the music. The “show” was the thing and in Madonna’s case, the music was an added treat.

She opened with an attention-getting outfit: purple lace topped with a green miniskirt and paisley-type multi-colored (and flashy) jacket with purple bra underneath the midriff-baring top. Ankle high old fashioned shoes completed the outfit, save for the cross that dangled.

A circus of lighting effects agitated the scene as Madonna and two dancers (who also served as background singers, if briefly) came down the flight of steps that took up the middle of the stage. Dancing was a very important part of the show throughout as Madonna proved her early training as a ballet and modern dancer could be put to good use in 1985.

“Celebrate” was a typical bit of technological funk with the six-piece band involving three keyboardists and dynamic drummer. Just about all the sound emanated from those multiple keyboards, including synthsizers, but also augmented by computers. Madonna’s vocals were drowned out for the first tune or two but the mix improved and her voice came out with a strength that matched the instrumental energy.

On virtually every song, she worked hard between dancing, singing and undulating around the stage. The dance routines were exciting with the music, but they were nothing too new if you have seen Las Vegas acts like Ann-Margaret or Suzanne Somers, singers who utilize two (or more) man dancers in routines.

She worked all of her hits into the show, including “Borderline,” “Starlight,” “Crazy for You” (with a lot of fog giving the scene an erie effect as she knelt for the finish) and “Like a Virgin.”

The show concluded with her most recent hit, “Material Girl,” done in another white outfit topped off with glittering stones and a white fur stole.

Our country has so much crazy shit going on right now and this OregonLive/The Oregonian reporter takes the time to say the “Belmont Goats” need to be roasted. One of the many things I love about living in the PNW is the people’s love for community. @theoregonian You should be ashamed and embarrassed that you employ a reporter that would say this. This is not what PDX stands for. If he doesn’t want to donate to their move, crazy thought, DONT. Shane Kavanaugh you disgust me. #theoregonian #oregonlive #pdx #pnw #reportaboutshitthatmatters #youredisgusting https://www.instagram.com/p/BocJvtRFXS8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18vgaarlkblov
