During Katy's PRISMATIC World Tour at Toronto's ACC on July 18th, when the opening act Capital Cities did their cover of 'Holiday' and when Katy did her cover of 'Vogue' it was EXACTLY 10 years to the day that Madonna first performed at the same venue with The Re-Invention World Tour.
Now , I do have got to to give you a big run of applause
One second I'm a shite, then suddenly the shite is me.

Don't forget his supporting slot at Slane on the Re-invention Tour, causing several years' worth of post-traumatic therapy for Stuart Price.

Madonna can be quite spontaneous, but she’s not spontaneous when it comes to doing a show in front of 20,000 people! Similarly, the soundcheck is often quite a choreographed affair, but this time she just started messing around. She started playing this very basic, two-chord riff on the guitar and making up these lyrics about how she loved New York. It was just a real fun, mess-around song. Later I went into her dressing room with a guitar and a portable multi-track and said, “We’re just going to stick something down for a reference”, so we had a rough sketch of the song.
Later on in the tour we were playing Slane Castle with Iggy Pop, and while we were watching him Madonna said, “Let’s make the song a bit like The Stooges.” She was making a documentary on that tour, I’m Going To Tell You A Secret, and there was a scene in it that featured New York, and she decided she wanted a kind of Stooges version of I Love New York to play over it.
So I took the riff and the guide vocal away to a friend’s house in Reading. We went into his bedroom and propped the bed up against the wall to make room for the drum-kit. His brother played guitar, I played bass and we tracked this Madonna song in the bedroom of a house on the Wokingham Road! And that’s the version that appears on the documentary.
