Thanks Damien. LOVE this! The close ups of Michael, the uncontainable energy, one of my favorite J5 songs! The master in the making!
Where has this been? Looks like in the family archives and you know there’s a lot more where this came from. Come on. Fans have been asking for this concert footage forever!! Now it comes out when the brothers are promoting their LV show. For the sake of Michael’s fans, work with the Estate – it won’t happen any other way – get this in HD format and release the whole concert. It’s long overdue.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the Brother’s final album & Tour done together, it featured classics such as Torture & Be Not Always. Victory is the first Tour in which Michael’s solo art is the spotlight of the touring industry. Some concerts were shot on 35mm film, Directed by Patrick Kelley. I would hope The Jackson’s work with the estate and release one of these High Resolution shows for the world to see. In Cinemas, On Blu-Ray & DVD. This appears to be from a Betamax Transfer. But here is footage, taken from film reels of two shows.
