Madonna at Roseland Ballroom

Madonna performed Wednesday night at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City to promote her new album, "Hard Candy." In a 2,200-capacity hall, the show was minuscule by her usual touring standards.
Madonna's fans are faithful: The line outside Roseland, on West 52nd Street, formed two and a half days before show time. By late Tuesday, the line had stretched around the block as people stood and sat and slept and caffeinated themselves for the chance to score one of the 750 wrist bands that would guarantee free admission.
At one point, Madonna, 49, picked up a black electric guitar and picked out the riff of the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
For the song, "4 Minutes," Justin Timberlake, who is featured on the song and is one of the writers and producers of it, took the stage in a sharp white jacket and black scarf, and joined Madonna in some dirty dancing.
