Lot Notes

After performing Sooner or Later in Barcelona, Madonna saucily removed a long black gown to reveal the shimmering corset beneath, which she wore throughout the next two songs before climbing the stairs to a raised platform and disappearing from view by stage lift at the close of Now I'm Following You.
