Madonna launched her first world tour in two years Sunday with a Los Angeles concert in which she hanged herself on a cross, dressed in S&M gear and screened images of President Bush juxtaposed with Adolf Hitler, among others.
The enthusiastic crowd at the Los Angeles Forum included Nicole Richie, Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna's Kabbalah guru, Rabbi Yehuda Berg.
During the two-hour concert – which began 50 minutes late – Madonna, 47, performed songs from her new album, Confessions on a Dancefloor, as well as such old hits as "Like a Virgin," "Ray of Light" and "Lucky Star," Reuters reports.
The "Confessions" tour will continue for two months in North America, then resume on July 30 in Wales for a five-week stadium swing through eight European cities. Shows in Japan are also scheduled for mid-September.
On Sunday, Madonna made her entrance lowered from the ceiling in a giant disco ball. Outfitted in dominatrix-like riding gear, she sang her new song "Future Lovers" accompanied by shirtless male dancers with ball gags in their mouths.
During "Live to Tell," she wore a crown of thorns and hung from a giant mirrored cross as video screens showed scenes of third-world poverty.
Another video montage mixed images of Bush and Tony Blair with footage of Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden. Midway through the new song "I Love New York," she cracked a joke about Bush and oral sex.
