I'm pleased that you shared my photos of that evening with your readers, Kenneth. Thanks.
As I recall, I got the great access by purchasing the top-priced ticket, $1,000, which included admission to the after-party.
I am not a professional photographer but always kept a small snapshot-type camera in my pocket at Hollywood events and wasn't shy about using it. I amassed quite a collection of star photos, which Wikipedia now uses to illustrate hundreds of their entries.
I still vividly remember Madonna got angry at me for taking those two top photos. After I snapped the second one she said "Stop taking my f---ing picture. You didn't even ask me."
Oh, I love these. We are all Alan Light! Alan: It's a great story, being snapped at by Madonna. Can totally see her point, but am of course always on the side of the, "You woulda said NO!" fanboys. :)
THAT WAS TRULY FANTASTIC TO SEE!! do you have anymore rare photo's and stories of MADONNA we can see?
anymore stories about the crowds reaction to MADONNA's performance that night?
Ahhh, the APLA days (I volunteered there when I lived in LA as well)! Still can't believe we never ran int one another then. I worked the "green room" for the Danceathon the year Mo & her troupe "showed up" (the Truth Or Dare period- 1990/91?). Almost ran OVER Nikki Harris trying to get to somewhere I was supposed to be at (I was constantly being yelled at by higher-ups. Thank God I didn't quit). She was very gracious (I spent the rest of the evening continually apologizing to her) & then she magically introduced me to Mo. It was a very surreal moment for me (and, like you, had no camera). I can't believe how creepy Madonna's height is. She's evenly proportioned (And never has looked as good as she did back then IMO), but she's about as tall as one of those Tracey dolls (the 4 foot versions that were just wrong to begin with.
