Blond Ambition World Tour Live is a video album by American singer-songwriter Madonna released exclusively on LaserDisc by Pioneer Artists on December 13, 1990.

In Italy, a private association of Roman Catholics called for a boycott of the shows in Rome and Turin; Pope John Paul II urged the general public and the Christian community not to attend the tour.

[4][5] During the first show in Toronto, on May 27, local police threatened to arrest Madonna for "lewd and indecent display", specifically the masturbation scene during the performance of "Like a Virgin" (1984).

Madonna: Blond Ambition World Tour 90 aired on Sunday August 5, 1990, at 9 p.m. and gave HBO a record for the highest ratings ever for an entertainment special at the time; around 4.5 million people tuned in.

Steven Galloway, president of Pioneer Artists, said that the idea of an exclusive came about when the company signed up to sponsor the tour; they also wanted to use the singer to increase Laserdisc sales and reach a demographic of 18–35 year olds.

[19] The Los Angeles Times gave the original broadcast a negative review, saying that the show didn't work as a television experience because it was "less a concert than an unfolding passion play" that was "rendered ponderous by distracting camera angles".

[20] Ty Burr, from Entertainment Weekly, gave the release an A and felt that it captured the Blond Ambition show better than Madonna: Truth or Dare, "because it's a laserdisc with digital sound, the music is re-created with startling fidelity.

[21] Los Angeles Times' Robert Hilburn felt that "the new, edited laser version offers much more of the vitality and charm of the show itself than the HBO special".

[31] Blond Ambition World Tour Live was released exclusively on LaserDisc by Pioneer in order to boost both format and device sales for CD Videos in the United States.

[12] Ultimately, the release reportedly helped boost the CD video market up to that point in the U.S.[33] The title "brought much-needed publicity to the laser format", commented Chris McGowan from Billboard.

[34] Blond Ambition World Tour Live earned Madonna her first Grammy win for Best Long Form Music Video at the 34th ceremony.
