Product Description
Product Description
In conjunction with this summer's most talked about concert, Madonna's highly anticipated "Sticky and Sweet" Tour, powerHouse Books will release Madonna Confessions, the official book of quintessential images taken by über-manager Guy Oseary during the course of over 50 performances around the world during the Material Girl's sold out 2006 Confessions Tour.
With over 250 never-before-seen images, the book showcases various provocative themes from that show including an iconographic equestrian opening to an urban Bedouin segment and on to glam punk and disco fever.
The photographs celebrate what the New York Times called "the sheer spectacularity of her physical form" along with show stopping highlights and groundbreaking staging. Oseary, who is also Madonna's manager and has worked with her for the past twenty years, traveled with the artist and was given unprecedented access to each performance. As a result, the photographs in Madonna Confessions capture the essence, sheer energy, and excitement that came alive onstage every night. The photographs were each lovingly handpicked by Oseary and Madonna and are interspersed with quotes from Madonna. Long considered one of the most exciting live performers of our era, Madonna Confessions is a visual delight that highlights the multi-Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's astounding career.
“powerHouse is delighted to collaborate with one of the world's greatest live performers; Guy Oseary's exclusive access to each night's Confessions show allowed him the opportunity to capture unparalleled iconic moments in live performance photography. The intimacy and the sweep of the work put you front row center of an incredible experience.”
—Daniel Power, CEO of powerHouse Books.

A beautiful souvenir of Madonna's Confessions Tour,

This review is from: Madonna Confessions (Hardcover)
This book is SPECTACULAR! If you witnessed Madonna's Confessions Tour, it's a must-have souvenir. If you didn't see the Tour, but you're a Madonna fan nevertheless, it'll take you there. It's also reasonably-priced.

Awesome book!,
By Carlos R. Rodriguez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Madonna Confessions (Hardcover)
This book is just perfect. It basically what I was expecting, tons of photos from one of the best shows I have attended ever! It really takes you back to that night when you saw the concert live. Each photo has the date and city where the photo was taken. It's a great book for anybody that went to the concert or is a Madonna fan.

Interesting,
By Oscar Gutierrez Conde "Blondie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Madonna Confessions (Hardcover)
El libro resulta interesante para aquellos a los que les guste Madonna en el escenario, eso si, no hay textos, son fotos 100%.En general las fotos están bastante bien y el montaje y maquetación es muy bueno pero se echan de menos los datos técnicos del tour... 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful
