Madonna First Ever Live Performance!

[OdetteValmont]

This is amazing! She had such a stage presence, even then!

[ForeverComplaining]

@OdetteValmont This is what I was thinking1

[seanhpdx]

This is a great find. Not exactly her first live performance. She had at least two bands before this and performed live. I would like some more background on the clip. Where was it filmed? Who introduced her? Who were the dancers? It's kind of an improvement on the album vocal, too bad there's not more of it.

[TheRabidGlow]

Love love love it! Hail to the Queen!

[MrTizgo]

Queen !!!!!

[mzchannel]

This is her first ever RECORDED live performance. She had performed live before that.

[maddydebbie]

Aaahw! That's sooooo cute!

I was waiting for the singing to go offkey somehow cause i sure as h*ll have a hard time singing along but she sounds so good.. Pretty much the same as the record!!! Very cool!!!! No background vocals.. Just little young madonna girl singing and dancing!

Sorry i can't stop blabbing i just love this vid!!!!!

[salcel21]

I love this gutsy woman ! She Is such a role model

[MegaImprota]

MADONNA - MINHA ETERNA DIVA!!!

[xander96a]

Madonna is garbage, mariah carey is the greatest female artist of all-time.

[JohnnyLovely2]

@xander96a are you kidding?

[gallina098]

you mean the first recorded performance...

[Gasitit]

this can't be Madonnas first live preformance, since she was the singer with a group calld Emmy

[Weve0]

<3

[zubenko17]

COOL!!!!MADONNA-QUEEN!!!!!!!!!­! gaga-shit forever

[caioescence]

Gaga is the best, xoxo.

[nokias6265]

Nossa! Queen forever! ;)

[therealrightisleft]

Madonna consolidates and fuses several genres of American music. Here she is transmitting the downtown avant-garde scene of the late 1970's and early 1980's.

[Yuriclay]

who would just say this girl with some dollars going to new york to look for her dream would just rule the world of pop music as one of (if not) the most successful female artists of all times?...This is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciconne...

[liquidgooey]

How has this only received 48,000 hits? This is an icon in her infancy! Love the dance moves ;0)

[2210bv]

yo pachaboy where is this taken ?

greetz

[ScottCharlotte]

Who knew that THIS GIRL was gonna be the most influential icon in the entire world... Pure amazingness... <3

[ShamanSoma]

this is amazing thank you!!!

[Ricky1981bh]

wooooooooooooooooow

[thedarthflagger]

"go on girl" she did.

[adlerfg]

Great voice here!

[Ladylolo616]

There will NEVER be another!

[Childofmadonna]

Awesome <3

[CrAzYyKiDz12]

she kinda is not good.

[IMEsinger]

Proof that she doesn't have to record her voice first when she performs. It sounds exactly like the CD already. Love Madonna

[voirdire]

those dance moves are embarrasing to look at now, back then they were normal

[Moreaccounts1]

was she ever embarressed about her haair?

[debbiechickie5]

@Moreaccounts1 that hair was cool then

[FrameCatcher04]

What you are seeing is a genius a work....

[eventvisionsinc]

I saw her 1982 Ft lauderdale Fl .The Copa Club, she said 2 songs Everybody & Burning up. Madonna would do alot of Club performances. Before lady gaga there was Madonna. I grew up listening to her songs. Love her!! Thank God for fake ID's in the 80's

[halkvideos]

think this was in LI NY

[rofea]

3:35-3:50 I so so love the keyboards in that bit to the extent that this music bit says to me; I'm catching a yellow cab home at 5am in New YOrk somewhere after clubbing with a cute girl all night - in 1983.

[slamanda01212]

Been a Madonna fan since 1983...I thought I saw every snippit of footage and I have never EVER seen this! Thank you so much for posting!

[55445522]

i LOVE madonna

[MerlinParish]

This is surprisingly good quality. Who filmed it?

[benovision]

@MerlinParish I did.

[DUANEMUSIC1]

"gone girl!" lol

[djmrbrown00]

geez for her first performance that's pretty damn good.. sounds as good or better than the record!

[david510152025303540]

What year did she do this?

[gandhi400]

1982

[cosmopolita99]

AWESOME, she did know who she will be in the this planet, the best, the Icon and unique Madonna.  Long live the Queen!

1:03 was funny gay!!! go on girl!!!

[fleurdupommier]

She sings live and does it actually very well!

[manachiam1]

Yes she can sing!! love you madonna

[PirateSkip4]

this is not live its over dubbed ........ as Guy Ritchie said "she was like rooting grissel" ha ha she is just an old whore Madonna is fuckin TRASH  go home and change your teena Pad its hanging out of your smelly gash.

[Adneshd]

I love her old songs, they were edgy and went with the times....

[PopCulture1980]

That is funny!

[eggieberttos]

unbelieveble so nice... now she is the best female solo artist ever on this planet... LOVE YOU MADONNA

[crazeeladie]

yes she's so amazing!!! <3 her!!!

[AngelQ420]

THE DUDE IS FUNNY!

[leesawford]

she really hasnt done bad for a girl who's not particularly good looking, cant dance and has a questionable singing voice..just MY opinion!

[iiiiiccccc]

can't dance can't sing? i'd like to see you dance and sing... no, not really.

[siobhanfiona]

wow

thats amazing

[christinavelia]

wow...was this her first demo that she got famous with?

[nzcutegal]

I don't think she's a great singer, but she IS an awesome performer. She's put out some great dance tunes, and she's stayed current because she keeps re-inventing herself. She's certainly earned her dues, and this white girl can DANCE!

Show us how it's done, girl!

[mk202]

Work Madonna...

And any one who wants to discount her reliance on the technology availiable to her as she performs night afterr night all over the world for millions....Can take it right back here and pay their dues. Just Like She Did! Thanks.

[JoeyTheFatKid]

i like the Russian alphabet in the back ground. LOL

[ez4me2sa]

Madonna has to be one of the most focused, disciplined, ambitious people on earth. That's why almost 30 yrs later, she's still the Queen of Pop.

[vistaprime]

besides Erica belle who are the other two?

[unamuno42]

this is before autotune so i think its fair to assume that she really can sing on key. That is a miracle when you compare her to many recent chanteusses like Rihanna and Lady Gaga (on key when at her piano, but always off key when doing her dance moves)

[bnotesounds]

This was hott! This video serves as testament that when someone presents artistry, they establish legacy.

[gdewa]

She is actually a really good singer, something that is slightly lost in all the synthesized sound that she uses now a-days.

[nulifeagain]

bull. i've heard madonna live more than once, and the synthesizer IS madonna. think she's awesome, but NOT a great, or even good singer

[latinogott]

My uncle when he passed away left me the pictures that were taken at this performance! I wonder how much will they go for? Well they are really nice pictures of hers!

[pirenne]

really? how cool!

[pirenne]

im sorry about ur grandpa

[Riverwide76]

love the queens in the back

[jamesthewineguy]

Back then this was quite original and looking w/our 2009 eyes we see this as not remarkable. You can see some homage on the current tour to her roots.

[shardy70]

damn...

even way back then,

it what appears to be a bit of a dive bar...

Madonna still had a bit of production

to her performance, low-budget production

but a valid effort none-the-less

♥'s me some vintage M.

[marcsound]

the best move was the very last shoulder wiggle move - awesome

[sam0xin]

interesting to know ,who help her FIRST to get out from this primitives . . .

[dobermans4ever]

wow thats amazing first performance look at her now

[cam230723]

shame granma vadge didnt call it quits after this-LOL

[hclaypool]

lol the russian letters in the back are confusing.. i wonder why they made that part of the set?? well whatever. cool video

[BronkaAsis]

the letter arent russian but greek...

[hclaypool]

You're right they are Greek, but they are also Russian, where do you think the cyrillic alphabet came from?

[vladimik]

very good. early 80's... good times.

[2721101669]

Where was this performed?.. when?....

[Dboombox]

hehe yeh they could never imagine that girl would rule the world

amuses me

watching this

cuz i wanna be a professional musician

watching here first performances makes me beleave that i can reatch this to

[poptompainwonderland]

youyube plus and minus

this is a few years before the "very first live perfromance"...if you known madonnas earlier things..

and so it is..

[jdmikeg4]

she should buy this club and own it now that she is super rich

[lustfabian]

Uaooo!. I've never seen this video before. Amazing that she will be the Queen of the Pop 25 years later. I love her performance and the way she dances on stage, even though it was early 80's. I love you Madonna

[Supernap1]

the crowd has no fucking idea that girl would rule the world..............

[neilshah2008]

I have, thank you and I'm laughing right in your face.

[neilshah2008]

get real asshole

[zonzeta]

no lo puedoooooooooooooo creeerrrrrrrrrrr

LA AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[shortylongbacks]

terrible MC ..........

[AutomaticTLC]

Wrong. Terrible crowd.

[marcelloprezioso]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

Lovely.

[nykkchick]

i like the way she did this, you can tell its live cuz its different then the original! i really love her voice!

[mellobbello]

of course this isn't her first performance. it's her first performance with sire records and her debut single.

[mfuji0001]

what was her 1st performance then 0_o

[mellobbello]

many concerts she's done around new york at max's kansas city, for instance o don't have your first performance ever after you've been signed, you get signed after you're seen performing a number of times

[deannasep11]

Love the gay bars and I love Madonna! I like the guy who yelled out in the beginning of the video, "Go on Girl".  Madonna is an ICON!

[wormsquish]

I thought she received a dance scholarship. Where's the dancing?

[cafe2006]

Im speechless, shes awesome, so good. I can see the Madonna I know and love, so young and powerful.

[skank3000]

you can get far without talent. wow!

[despseekingsusan]

bitch please, madonna has more talent in her pinky finger than you do in your entire body!!!!

[somemagicbeans]

WOW HER FIRST PERFORMANCE...

[247Alan]

haha..more reverb please! I must have more REVERB!

[soin74]

hehe, that's exactly that I thought. reverb must have been the flavour of the month.

[VictorEmmanuell]

"what a differece a day makes" or better "what a difference a million dollars makes" ......so young and i think in a gay bar....it was so cool the 80's.....

[oldschoolgal93]

Look at all those skinny legs!!

[diegolcl]

...And them she become the biggest star in the world...

[calamathy]

The good ol' sidestep. Choreography sure has evolved and progressed since then, hasn't it?

[FredericaBimble]

I just love the queen at the beginning who shouts: "Go on, girl!!"

[aderaareda]

ıy iğrenç

[noahsarcooo]

madonna can make gold out of shit!

i swear !

[captainfruity1]
