Tour recording

Madonna Live: The Virgin TourDirector Daniel Kleinman filmed the Detroit show of May 25, 1985. This recording was released as video album on Nov. 13, 1985, titled 'Madonna Live: The Virgin Tour'. Kleinman removed the performances of Angel, Borderline and Burning Up because he believed Madonna was not her best in them. The recording was available in VHS format and later as laser disc, but it never got a DVD release. 'Madonna Live: The Virgin Tour' was the top selling music videocassette of 1985, peaking at #11 of Billboard's Top Music Videocassettes chart. The RIAA gave it a Double Platinum certification for the shipment of 200,000 copies.
