  • Yep michael started wearing the glove in 1979

  • nice green pants

  • I still get so excited about Mike!! i cant help it!!.lol!! Long live the king!!

  • Best Michael ever looked. Obviously, younger as we all were back then, but he did look great. I was at this concert (my first) at McNichols Arena in Denver. It was wonderful and I really appreciate you uploading this. Takes me back 30+ years.

  • Thank you for circulating this. 

  • This sounds like Ken Nordine narrating the intro.

  • @2bin It was him

  • I was thinking the samething about the glove didn't know he wore it so earlier on.

  • The following youtube-link is a compilation : youtube.com/watch?v=igIIgKHsCN­c

    It includes footage of Mike wearing the glove on the Destiny Tour (1979-1980) , showing around at 1 minute and 12 seconds.

  • There was a Youtube-video from The Jacksons performing Dancing Machine on their Destiny Tour from 1979 and also showed Michael wearing the glove. It was very visible when it sparkled while he danced with those slick, robotic moves. That's about the earliest footage where i saw the glove. I think the youtube poster was called something like Superman2000.

  • Here's that other Destiny-Tour footage which i mentioned, with MJ wearing the glove during Dancing Machine, the track which they opened this show with : youtube.com/watch?v=ZX63W7-Gyc­A

  • This is actually live?

  • @jwmellott Yeah, I've got the whole concert on CD. Great album!

  • @jwmellott

    the concert-audio starting around 0:46 is from their official live-recorded album (1981), and it sounds like it's mixed here with the filmed footage. Great job SireBonham ! The rougher and original live-sound with concert-footage can also be heard and seen here on youtube, and which contains the malfunctioning of Randy's microphone in the first verse.

  • Any idea who does the narration on this? A voice heard very often in the '70s and '80s, I need to know!

  • Thankyou so much for the upload. He is so amazing. I havent saw this left hand Glove before too. But now i see MJ's said on Oprah interview his Vitiligo problems started somewhere between Off the Wall and Thriller

  • I saw portions of this original video surface in MJ's THIS IS IT dvd. Glad to see Sony/Epic/Legacy making an effot to pull some of the old stuff back out. Now if they can only dig out the original '81 tour video .....

  • amazing ;-)

  • great song and video.
