I hate that I didn't get a chance to see this concert or even the thriller era and the Motown 25 Special. I missed so much because I was over in Germany serving my country. (U.S.Army). But before that I went to two concerts of the Jackson 5, I was even privileged enough to sit in the front row of one of their concerts, so I really shouldn't complain. I have loved them from 1969 to now. Michael was my love and will always be. I think about him everyday. But he's resting now, he deserves to LUV U
I wanted to attend, but I got a bad case of the flu, so my mother said i couldn't go, I had to give my damn tickets to my cousin, i got a Jacksons t-shirt out it, but I still love The Jacksons.
BTW .. THIS TOUR IS ON CD (AUDIO) .. IT'S CALLED "JACKSONS LIVE." It's awesome and I play it regularly .. In fact, it's in my car CD-player right now cause I listen to it on my commute to and from work!
Dang .. this performance is AMAZING!! Michael .. your a genius. And to the J5 .. PLEASE get this tour out on DVD!!!! Do it now before all your older fans are dead. haha.
I was at 2 of the shows at the LA Forum - opening and closing nights. If I could have afforded it back then I would have attended all five shows. I sat three rows behind Mrs. Jackson, LaToya and Janet Jackson on the first night. I too remember Michael starting to lose his voice and asking for some tea. What's more, I could also see behind stage and watch a guy run out with the drink. MJ drank it behind stage. I never took my eyes off MJ. I saw him take little rests in during the songs ins
I keep saying that all the stuff still in existence from The Jackson 5 and Jacksons eras needs to be remastered and put out there now. A lot of those of us who remember them from back in the day will be dead and gone before they do at this rate. Could someone please explain to me why they don't. I thought these big companies liked making money.
@kindofblue21 I agree completely - Sony needs to bring this stuff out of the vaults ASAP. They should do the Victory Tour first since more than 2million people saw it, and there is no complete high quality video recording in existence. I'd like to see Dallas w/ Eddie Van Halen guest appearance, and the final 6th Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium show when Michael announced it was the last Jacksons show. Then roll out Triumph tour Los Angeles CA and Providence RI shows.
@kindofblue21 (Remaster Destiny, Triumph, and Victory and see what happens...lol) They could even have some airings of the cartoon and variety shows!!! (Seeing that most cartoons suck now and we really don't have any variety shows now...)!!!!!!!!!!!
@kindofblue21 AMEN!! I agree! Whoever owns the rights to these concerts need to get with it!!! Someone needs to start an Online Petition for this concert to be released on video. ALSO perhaps fans could leave comments on the michaeljacksonVEVO channel.
The LIVE album was recorded from the Victory Tours. I was AT this show at the Forum (twice). I chased the limo. Me and roommate had the steps of this concert memorized after attending back to back. Those were the days. We miss you MJ
@kevc21 You went to the Jacksons shows at LA Forum in Sept 1981?? Do you have any pictures, souvenirs, ticket stubs? Do you remember the left hand white sequen glove? thanks for posting! It's great to see some original J5/Jackson fans here posting their memories!
@SireBonham Sorry... been lost that stuff. Life. Graduated college. Married. Divorce. Now got kids in college. lol. I do remember the opening moves, and later, Michael's amazing disappearing act where they covered him up... Randy wailing "CAN YOU FEEL IT.... CAN YOU FEEL IT... music blaring... doot, doot, doot, doot, doot,... Michael dropped through the stage trap door on stage RIGHT (to us)... scampering like mad under stage, then POPS UP to a BANG & SMOKE & BLOWERS on LEFT! CAN-U-FEELIT!
@kevc21 I also remember during a particular set, MJ was losing his voice, and he yells out in his MJ voice "Hot, Hot, I need something HOT! GIMME SOMETHING HOT!" Somebody brings a cup of hot water or tea or something, MJ sips a bit, then jumps back into the fray, right on cue! WHOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO! HE-HE-HE! (I was in college, but new at attending live concerts. I soaked up every second of my idols). My head was spinning for WEEKS after. HellaFun. I LOVE MJ & whole family. JANET- I'm avail!
Man his facial expression at 5:14 omg man i would have loved to see that look in the bedroooomm WOOOOOOOO!!! damn sexy ass man....too bad he left us without finding the love of his life :(
Oh MY God! at 5:24 !!!!! I ALSO SAW THAT PART IN THE VICTORY TOUR & EVERY TIME I SEE THAT PART.... I ALMOST FAINT..... IT'S JUST TOO HOT....... I LOVE THE WAY MICHAEL DOES THAT PART.... WHOOOOOO! TOO HOT :D
yes, that's right. to my knowledge, there is no good quality Los Angeles audio recordings in the public domain. If you come across one, let me know and I'll remaster it with the original audio track.
that's for sure. Sad thing is, these tours were captured PRO SHOT then put in archive (MJJ). Sony/Epic/MJJ need to hear from us. Probably the Sony site is the best source for the public to post.
Uhhh I WANT THAT MAN IN MY BED!
