BAD 25 - 2012 - General Discussion [Closed] please cont. discussion in BAD25 Announcement thread

[Dangerous Incorporated]

With the Michael album just available on the shelves there are already new projects the Michael Jackson Estate is working on. One of the next projects will be the re-release of Off The wall with the help from Quincy Joneshttp://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_mini-a.png. The plan is for Quincy to take charge of the project.

Another project is the re-release of the Bad album and a first time official release of the Bad World Tour on DVD. This would only be done with the help of the original crew who worked with Michael in the past.

The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil will start in 2011. There might be an album featuring the soundtrack of the new Michael Jackson themed Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas. Mind you, it’s a different concept and it’s written by somebody else than the world tour.


Reports that Sonyhttp://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_mini-a.png will release 10 albums of new material as part of their new deal with the Michael Jackson Estate have been confirmed to be false. The deal was made for 10 projects – not all of them feature never-before-released material. Part of the 10 project deal has already been released: This Is It, Vision DVD boxset and the new Michael album.


http://www.legendarymichaeljackson.nl/?p=3151

BTW TII isnt apart of the 10 project deal. That was a separate $60M deal just for TII. $250M 10 project deal includes VISION, Experience (music on game) & MICHAEL.

[Noewi]

Bad Tour on DVD :wild: :wild: :wild:

And what about Victory Tour? :(

[godena]

Triumph Tour? O_o

[Krshna28]

As with any talk concerning a Bad World Tour DVD / BD Release...........


...........I'll believe it when I see it in the shops!!!!!


............But my fingers are still crossed!!!!!!!

[8701girl]

Yeh i hope bad tour dvd will be released

[Themidwestcowboy]

oh man! please please PLEASE may it be the full bad tour 1988, and not yokohama or any concert from 87 and i dont care PLEASE DONT RELEASE BUCHAREST AGAIN!

[Guu@wallis]

i want the BAD tour and the HIStory tour~~~~~

[Annie123]

This has been mentioned lots of times already so it seems pretty likely to be true.

The article is wrong about "This is It" not being part of the 10 project deal, it was included.

[Dangerous Incorporated]

This has been mentioned lots of times already so it seems pretty likely to be true.

The article is wrong about "This is It" not being part of the 10 project deal, it was included.
That last part wasnt in the article and its not wrong, Estate were shopping TII around and higher offers yet they went with Sony for $60M. TII was released in October.

Later, in March 2010, Sony & Estate signed a $250M for 10 projects (not albums) which have included VISION, Experience (due to the long list of MJ songs on it) & MICHAEL. 7 projects left - OTW = 6 projects.

Sony chewing through the projects quick. Years to go yet.

[Annie123]

OK, well I believe this WSJ article:



The deal retroactively covers the soundtrack album to "This Is It," plus a range of other releases, some of which have been mapped out, with others to be determined later. An album of previously unreleased songs is likely to hit stores before the end of this year, and another collection is due out later. The deal is also likely to cover expanded reissues of Mr. Jackson's albums "Off the Wall" and "Bad," as well as collections of remixes. A DVD of all of Mr. Jackson's music videos is likely to be created at some point.

[ketzergon]

Hope for that Bluray enstead the DVD for me, and i hope that includes SC in MSG March 5th

[AnnieRUOkay89]

I'm pretty sure the TII album was apart of the Sony deal, I might be wrong though. But that's what was reported at the time.

[MsCassieMollie]

I hope this is true! :D

[~* White Chocolate *~]

**fingers crossed**

[cmstrike]

So if the TII soundtrack is included, then it goes...

1. This Is It soundtrack
2. Vision
3. The Experience
4. Michael
5. Cirque Du Soleil soundtrack
6. Off the Wall re-release
7. Bad re-release
8. Bad Tour DVD
9. ???
10. ???

[Ashtanga]

OMG! http://www.hornedhalo.org/images/kermit.gif Great! :punk:

Waiting... :timer:

[Loneman1]

I hate it, but I can't help but feel this is gonna be Yokohama.........though I do like the sound of "Bad WORLD Tour"...........but it better be not just an official release of a documentary about the whole thing with just clips of the music.

PLEASE let the powers that be make the right decision with this. It isn't all that hard.

[AnnieRUOkay89]

So if the TII soundtrack is included, then it goes...

1. This Is It soundtrack
2. Vision
3. The Experience
4. Michael
5. Cirque Du Soleil soundtrack
6. Off the Wall re-release
7. Bad re-release
8. Bad Tour DVD
9. ???
10. ???

At least, one will be a new album. From what's been said, it can be assumed the other will be a duets album.

[Sifa_Dias]

It makes sense that they would choose a later show if they can, as opposed to an '87 show like Yokohama. During the second leg, he performed more hits and recognizable songs for the general public. The 1st leg had a lot of Jacksons stuff and less MJ songs.

[hplusf]

Yes, lets hope they don't go cheap and put ot the Yokohama version as they did with Dangerous Bucharest.
Another re-release of Off the Wall and Bad?!?!? I've always bought theme before but now I'm just gonna say no thanks.

[Dangerous Incorporated]

So if the TII soundtrack is included, then it goes...

1. This Is It soundtrack
2. Vision
3. The Experience
4. Michael
5. Cirque Du Soleil soundtrack
6. Off the Wall re-release
7. Bad re-release
8. Bad Tour DVD
9. ???
10. ???

+ 2 albums of unreleased material

[L.T.D]

They arent going to go with Yokohama.

They'd go for one with a better set list, which is of course the 2nd leg.

I'm sure they would end up mixing the DVD with clips from several concerts like they did with Bucharest.

[michaelsson]

So if the TII soundtrack is included, then it goes...

1. This Is It soundtrack
2. Vision
3. The Experience
4. Michael
5. Cirque Du Soleil soundtrack
6. Off the Wall re-release
7. Bad re-release
8. Bad Tour DVD
9. ???
10. ???

i think the dvd comes along with the reissue of bad...

[analogue]

It better be Bad tour 1988.

[doitandyourdead]

Sony's ten part deal with The Michael Jackson Estate shocked everyone, especially close friends who said at the time there was not enough material for five albums, let alone ten.

The fact of the matter is, the deal was for ten PROJECTS and n...ot ten albums.

“This Is It,” “Vision” and “Michael” are all part of that deal, that leaves seven more projects. The next project will be a remaster of “Off the Wall” with the help of none other than Quincy Jones. The Estate say the plan is for Quincy to take charge of the project, which will include some never-before-heard outtakes.

More excitingly, another project will include a remaster of “Bad,” the album will include the first official release of Michael's BAD TOUR!

The fans have demanded it and Sony, along with The Estate have taken action. No dates have been confirmed and will most likely not be for quite some time.

This information comes from John Branca, whilst in New York MJNEWSALERTS got the chance to meet him personally.

Don't misunderstand me now, I LOVE BAD tour, but why are so many fans hoping that BAD TOUR is releasing, why this film? What is different between BAD and HIStory tour?

Just asking because so many fans is hoping :-D

I think we all really needed some news like this.

Listen to Billie Jean from Bad tour. Then listen to HIStory tour.
Listen to Beat It from Bad tour. Then listen to HIStory tour.
Listen to Thriller from Bad tour. Then listen to HIstory tour.

Noticed the difference?

[Tsukiji]

Listen to Billie Jean from Bad tour. Then listen to HIStory tour.

HIStory is still as entertaining as Bad to me ;)

Well, ALL the songs for me! lol...The difference is massive..I do love the HIStory tour...the dancing is off the hook...But all around, I love the rawness of the Bad tour...raw, live EXCEPTIONAL vocals, boundless energy..and mostly just Mike on stage, no special effects, no huge spectacle (not that I mind this, i LOVE when Mike is go big or go home)...but all around..the Bad Tour is just awesome...

[PCR]

Ok, I am very, very excited to read this but then... didn't we read just some 4 days ago Sony was NOT to do this since they said there was no market potential for this release? (and we all went :doh:). This information here confirms what we were discussing (with kindda of relieve, I must add), that Sony didn't have all his material. So if they are now "buying" the material, then this means this potencial DVD of Bad Tour would not be part of the 10 projects they already paid for.

So.... is this an additional project (say 11 project) and more money is involved? So the Estate IS to continue working with Sony in releasing more MJ material?

Please, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to fall in the anti-sony talk here, I just mean to know what is really going on, since this is totally contrary to what we read from a direct source just 4 /5 days ago.

Thanks!! :flowers:

[Nonoka]

HIStory is still as entertaining as Bad to me ;)

I define a live concert with live singing, but, yes, HIStory tour is cool too. But beside the live singing during the Bad tour Michael had a great aura. He looked good, fit and unstressed. I love seeing him laughing while he sings APOM.

Yeah he was amazing in the Bad Tour :yes: ,every tour has it's own special unique aura, just like his albums.. :D

Now do I wonder, if were going to be getting a First leg or a Second leg DVD..Hmm

[shamone58]

Great news! I can't wait...

[MJ_Jordan]

Amazing news!!!! :D

[respect77]

It's from the second leg. It's written on the first page:


additionally... "The Bad tour will be released on DVD in 2012. Two of the WEMBLEY shows were recorded in HQ which is perfect for a DVD release. Sony and the estate are in the process of acquiring the master copies right now, they are very confident they will have them soon."

[andyroser]

Awesome news! :)

[Themidwestcowboy]

as much as i would love to have Wembley 1988, i would really really love to see Los Angeles 1989 instead!

[Themidwestcowboy]

They arent going to go with Yokohama.

They'd go for one with a better set list, which is of course the 2nd leg.

I'm sure they would end up mixing the DVD with clips from several concerts like they did with Bucharest.

to be honest at this point i couldent care less. i jsut want to see a bad tour concert from 1988/89!
Please Sony/Estate make this happen!

[Thriller 25]

I think it's coming out in 2012 (BAD 25th Anniversary).

Wait, did www.mjnewsalerts.com remove the news???

[virginia_woolf]

Wonderful news :) :) :)


I hope sony haters won't try to destroy this release like usual by saying 'Michael didn't approve it and the devils aka Branca&McClain are making money'.

Or maybe Dangerous 20th Anniversary as well :D

[Prince Of Pop]

They need to do a Dangerous anniversary album, and they need to do the release like they would have done in 2001 with it being a double album. I would also include more tracks on the 2nd disc involved to fill out the cd. I would also include a bonus DVD of a different leg of the Dangerous tour.

[Thriller 25]

Hmm...what's going on?

I checked http://www.mjnewsalerts.com/news/ but it starts with "Next Project, Off the Wall: Remastered", followed by "Feud Erupts Between Teddy and Will.i.am" and older news ... did you find the news?

[PCR]

I hope sony haters won't try to destroy this release like usual by saying 'Michael didn't approve it and the devils aka Branca&McClain are making money'.

Let's agree Michael really can't approve any of this releases. It's a fact.
But as usual: it's up to every single fan to make his / her own decitions. There will always be people making comments about every thing in this world, so a basic rule is: make your own decitions ;)

ANd I wouldn't say those people are haters. Last time I knew the haters were those hating Michael Jackson AND his fans, not MJ fans expressing their feelings -_-

[PCR]

It directs me to the OTW news not the one quoted in the beginning ...

Yes, it's the only one. The rest was added by Gaz and the original poster, since Gaz was in that meeting (you can see his previous posts here). The info says:

Just that. We have gotten more info from Gaz.

[Ekienichie]

Yeaaaa...!!! I hope this tour will not mixing with other Bad World Tour.. just like Bucharest : Dangerous World Tour which edited with other Dangerous World Tour..

[Laura.L.]

Really? Finally an official Bad tour DVD release? Someone pinch me, please, for I must be dreaming..!

I could shed a few tears of joy if this is indeed true :')

[truluv]

Omg!!! finally
I already know, I'm gonna watch it 24/7:D

The bad tour will be the last BIG MJ release, probably ever. Its the most anticipated, most wanted item in the world of MJ. This really deserves some BIG promotion, and it deserves to put together perfectly (awesome quality, awesome packaging, loads of extras etc).

If this is done perfectly i can die a VERY happy man :-)

[elusive moonwalker]

Don't misunderstand me now, I LOVE BAD tour, but why are so many fans hoping that BAD TOUR is releasing, why this film? What is different between BAD and HIStory tour?

Just asking because so many fans is hoping :-D

viewed by many fans as being at his peak. and pretty much all if not 100% live vocals.which the other tours werent

[PoP]

I just want Bad Tour on DVD, I wanted Rome' 88, London 88' and Los Angeles 89'. That'll make me happy.

[Tsukiji]

What would be your choice for a first leg show? :)

[PoP]

First leg? Many of us don't want Yokohama 87', I think I'll go with the Premiere show of Tokyo 87'.

[dangerous dave]

I will watch the DVD everyday if we get Bad tour 88

[Ramzy]

Is the BAD TOUR DVD official confirmed ??? I don't see anything on the source link...

[PoP]

I will watch the DVD everyday if we get Bad tour 88

Me too, I will watch it non-stop.

[PoP]

The official Michael Jackson site got the word.

[Rilo Jackson]

god i hope the bad tour gets released! :D but it better be 1988/1989 or i'm going to be pissed off.

News Just in

Apparantly this DVD is gonna be showing performances from Navi and he'll be lip syning to Jason Malchi vocals!!



















































































OK that's not true

[PCR]

Michael DID approve the Bad Wembley recording and mixes!

I know, but I think the poster was refering to "posthumous" releases ;)

[benscarr]

Is this official news from Michael's estate with a proper statement, or just hearsay. I'm sure at some stage one a Bad Tour concert will be released in DVD. Hopefully it will be a 3 disc Blu-ray or DVD set compromising of 3 separate Bad Tour concerts, hopefully Kansas City, Rome and London from 1988. But I won't take this news as official until I see an official statement about the project on Sony's Michael Jackson website michaeljackson.com.

[MIST]

I would love to have ghosts on dvd

[PCR]

Erm Excuse me, I have no control over what MJNewsalerts puts up and takes down from their site.

Oh, Gaz, please, lol!
I didn't mean you have any relation to what they posted, I meant what you posted here, explaining you were in that meeting and that you had let him know how fans are so eagerly waiting for this concert in particular. Then you added they will release a double DVD some time during 2012. Then I asked you about you working really close to the Estate and you told me about they improving their lerning curve.
I just meant that :yes:

[startinsomethin87]

I'll believe it when I see it, of course, but this sounds a little more reliable than previous rumors.

[Themidwestcowboy]

Kansas City, London, Los angeles.
If this was the case, i would be prepearing my own grave by now

[Sophielo]

At the moment its just heresay but its been a rumour for the past year. Here's hoping for a Wembley concert being released.

[souldreamer7]

Los Angeles,Kansas City,New York, London BAD Tour

[Jackson Rules]

i hope for Rome...or at least Wembley

[h0opman31]

9. ???
10. ???

the experience is not a Sony release

[Ramzy]

If they gonna release the bad tour i think they gonna use the wembley concert...

Because everybody talks about these concerts & that location is also the most spectaculair i think...

[D4rkNezz]

ill bet they gonna come with official bad tour yokohoma 1987, same what they did with bucharest when the collection from mj came out.

[Brennsuppe]

Never mind any of the other things, though they would be nice to have, too.
BAD TOUR!!!!!!!! OMG

But this I will only believe when I see it in the shelves, and have made sure it's a legit product, not some ripped-off bootleg with bad sound and worse picture. Well, we'll see.

[Themidwestcowboy]

They should Really really Release A Three Disc set, like they did with Vision. This is my idea

First disc : Bad Tour 1987 concert (Brisbane with stevie wonder)

Seccond Disc: Bad Tour 1988/89 (Either Los angeles or wembley but i think wembely would be the best idea)

Third Disc, 1988 rehearsal, with interviews with the crew seeing mihcael work behind the scenes (Just like this is it)

[Nonoka]

I don't know if it's the right thread for it, but I have a question regarding Smooth Criminal:
Did he actually do the famous lean during the Bad Tour?
There are some amateur recordings of the song. For example this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DM_9mDvUZk
Judging by this video, it doesn't seem that he did the lean.


But as I searched for more videos on YouTube, I found this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyWI8LHrFFg
It's just a photo, but it says it all.

So he did the lean during the Bad tour???

[Kyle]

I think it's coming out in 2012 (BAD 25th Anniversary).

Why did you remove it if it is true? Gaz confirmed originally that he was there too, that there would be a double DVD and that the Estate AND Sony are working togther to buy the masters of this. So... what happened?
No longer a fact?

Me and Garry were both there, but what went on is confidential. I did get the okay to post it, after another site did, but then we all removed it by request.

Just wait a little longer, as soon as I get some solid information(confirmation/statement from The Estate) I'll post it. I'm sure Garry will too.

Ohhh.... now I see why some of Gaz and my own previous posts were deleted when merging the threads.
Ok, I will take care my words will not lead you into trouble.
But still... if you are not allowed to share something... simply don't do it. You know, we fans get so excited about these things and confussion rises out of nothing :lol:

Let me know when it's official :flowers:

[Moonwalker91]

I don't know if it's the right thread for it, but I have a question regarding Smooth Criminal:
Did he actually do the famous lean during the Bad Tour?
There are some amateur recordings of the song. For example this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DM_9mDvUZk
Judging by this video, it doesn't seem that he did the lean.


But as I searched for more videos on YouTube, I found this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyWI8LHrFFg
It's just a photo, but it says it all.

So he did the lean during the Bad tour???

He did a "little" lean...he leaned forward but not so far like in Moonwalker or on other tours since there weren't no hooks which attached him to the floor.

[Steve001]

If this news turns out to be true and a Bad Tour DVD actually comes to fruition, I really hope one of the Los Angeles '89 dates is what they choose to release.

For numerous reasons...

The only thing the Wembley shows have in their favour is a 70 000 + live attendance. Plus, the amateur recordings have revealed the entire show anyway...

As for Los Angeles '89...The Tour had fully matured and extra lighting and effects were used. Mike had re-tooled his dance repotoire and his stage outfits had been enhanced. Listening to the amateur audio recordings, Mike really rocked LA in '89!

Plus, MJ himself often used footage of the LA '89 shows in many of his official promo packages. Such as at the 1993 AMA's and most famously in the 'Brace Yourself' promo reel.

Mike's concerts nearly always were so much better and enhanced towards the end of each Tour and the Bad Tour is no exception. Plus, in LA, Mike performed more songs than Wembley.

[The King lives on!]

They should Really really Release A Three Disc set, like they did with Vision. This is my idea

First disc : Bad Tour 1987 concert (Brisbane with stevie wonder)

Seccond Disc: Bad Tour 1988/89 (Either Los angeles or wembley but i think wembely would be the best idea)

Third Disc, 1988 rehearsal, with interviews with the crew seeing mihcael work behind the scenes (Just like this is it)

Wooow, i hope the first one is true.
MJ with stevie doing ''Just Good Friends'' you mean?! (The only thing i saw is that pic, with Michael and Stevie jumping) :P

[Steve001]

Wooow, i hope the first one is true.

It has been confirmed that MJ and Stevie in fact performed a duet of 'Bad' not 'Just Good Friends' in Brisbane.

And I have no idea why I keep spelling it "Garry" lol GARY!!

[mo_rizwan]

There are also rumours that the 'Smooth Criminal' Lean was first performed in L.A. 1989 :)

[Moonwalker91]

Plus, in LA, Mike performed more songs than Wembley.

Which are?

If a Bad tour dvd gets released, we're probably going to get whatever footage the estate has. We don't know what could be. Japan, Wembley, KC, LA, NYC? We'll have to wait and find out.

Who does the estate have to purchase the Bad Tour footage from? I figure that the film of any MJ concerts would have been owned by MJ.

[Themidwestcowboy]

There are also rumours that the 'Smooth Criminal' Lean was first performed in L.A. 1989 :)

Really? i never heard that one before. Where did you hear that?

And oh LA is my nr 1 pick, i would love to see that man in the mirror with the white shirt! i mean we have so manny video snippets of LA, (Brace yourself, soultrain, AMA, that biography thing) and we have so many pictures of that man in the mirror with the white shirt!lol. i so badly wanna see Los angeles! as much as i love the european leg of the tour, judging by the footage we've got thus far i have got to go with the american leg!

Kansas City ----> Wembley

[Nonoka]

This isn't from the Wembley shows but here's something to get the excitment going

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHPiERpJVAM

Wow, he did a little lean there too!
But it seems that he didn't do the little lean in every concert. Judging by the amateur recordings, he didn't do it in the Wembley concert :(
Well, but if they would release Wembley, I hope they cut in the lean from another concert.


There are also rumours that the 'Smooth Criminal' Lean was first performed in L.A. 1989 :)

If you mean the little lean which he didn't do with the hooks then you're wrong, he did that in Madrid and Tokyo 88 and probably in other concerts too. But if you mean the big lean from Moonwalker, it could be right. Does someone have more infos about the lean during the Bad tour?

And which songs did he perform in LA?

EDIT: He DID the lean in Wembley!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo3yeHBtepM&feature=related
Watch from 4:09!
:D :D :D

But still I would like to know if he did the big Moonwalker / Dangerous + HIStory tour lean during the Bad Tour.
And of course I would like to know what songs he performed in LA because someone said he performed more songs there.

I have evidance, well not a video evidence, but a photo evidence of Michael doing the lean.

http://mjphotoscollectors.com/web/uploads/1286816035/med_gallery_916_17082.jpg

[tricia70]

That last part wasnt in the article and its not wrong, Estate were shopping TII around and higher offers yet they went with Sony for $60M. TII was released in October.

Later, in March 2010, Sony & Estate signed a $250M for 10 projects (not albums) which have included VISION, Experience (due to the long list of MJ songs on it) & MICHAEL. 7 projects left - OTW = 6 projects.

Sony chewing through the projects quick. Years to go yet.


That was the movie. The soundrack of TII is part of the 10 project deal. So I guess we have TII, Michael, Vision, and Experience. So we have 6 more project do go.

[Nonoka]

http://mjphotoscollectors.com/web/uploads/1286816035/med_gallery_916_17082.jpg

That's the lean without hooks.
Does anyone know if he did the big lean with the hooks during the Bad tour?

And I still hope someone can tell me which songs he performed in LA because someone said he performed more songs there.

[Prince Of Pop]

The 10 project deal was retroactive with the This Is It album, so that album is included in the deal.

The DVD Vision and the Michael album are also included in the deal. The video game is a separate thing and not included.

[Sunflowers]

When I read the title of the topic I just went, Wembley, Wembley, Wembley hahahaha.
Lets hope that the Estate for once listens to the fans. If they do all my friends will be getting a dvd from me. Just to show how amazing he was, as they all keep complaining that Michael never sang live. Plus Wembley has been approved by Michael, very important for me and probably many others.

As for a re-release of Off the wall and Bad. What would be the perks for the fans? A little better quality. Or are they going to ad some demo's that haven't leaked so we'll buy it? I'm a little apprehancive about these 2 albums.

[PCR]

Yes, this is what I have always know, but now some people say the TII album was part of the TII deal. But I thinkt that is wrong, since Sony pay for the footage.

[Noewi]

And of course I would like to know what songs he performed in LA because someone said he performed more songs there.

So where's the big difference between this and the Wembley setlist? (despite better song order at Wembely) These are the same songs he performed in London.

[smooth_criminal05]

I've posted the information about this Bad tour coming out way back in February. It's always been a part of the plan! It will come out in 2012 with the Bad 25 album.

Ermm... let's agree some other sources have said the same before, Smooth :cheeky:

[newstarter11]

Don't forget DD (and yes he did sing it the night Diana was at Wembley)

was dirty diana done in la 1989 at all? the audio bootleg suggests he didn't.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puz5n7NsFio

the bad tour footage in the 1989 soul train awards (with snippets of bad, beat it, billie jean, man in the mirror) has footage of dirty diana. the other snippets are clearly la, as mj had the v-neck white t-shirt (not normal t-shirt like at wembley). however, we can't see mj's t-shirt in dirty diana so it's quite vague. in the youtube comments, birchey himself doesn't think dirty diana is from la.

i can't believe we had no idea mj did a mini-lean before the final dance break in smooth criminal until now! :P this is why we must have a bad tour dvd! preferably wembley, but i think there's more la footage around.

Where do u get that from?

[fxfan]

Is this official news from Michael's estate with a proper statement, or just hearsay. I'm sure at some stage one a Bad Tour concert will be released in DVD. Hopefully it will be a 3 disc Blu-ray or DVD set compromising of 3 separate Bad Tour concerts, hopefully Kansas City, Rome and London from 1988. But I won't take this news as official until I see an official statement about the project on Sony's Michael Jackson website michaeljackson.com.

It's official

But judging by that list, he did more songs in Wembley! He performed Dirty Diana there.

That's exactly what I thought first.. Me too! I hope they will release it finally.

[Kingofpop4ever3000]

They need to release all of Michael's tours in a boxed set. But they will most likely wait for a while to do that. I think the only two solo albums he didn't do tours for were "Thriller" and "Invincible" I can see why with what happened with "Invincible". But what about "Thriller"? Does anyone know?

The Victory tour really was the Thriller tour. MJ was the main attraction and his brothers were just backing musicians

and I will gladly remind the boycotters that this is also a Sony product. Just like Michael Jackson the Experience & "Michael".

Bwahahahaha ...chew on this.

[Staffordshire Bullterrier]

i think the dvd comes along with the reissue of bad...


Weren't you against the 'new' album, and like alot of other folks didn't hear Michael on these tracks?

What happened?

[barok232]

Bad Tour DVD! How cool would that be! Wembley would be over the top. I 've seen the amateur recording and I LUV it! Perhaps the last one in L.A would be good as well (only seen snippets of that but it looks great as well). If they give us Yokohama which we already have in great quality, I 'll be so pissed!!!

Oh well, we 'll see...

If this is legit I may have to change my pants.

Just think of all of the people that have never seen any parts of this tour. They thought he was amazing for the Dangerous tour and This Is It? Wait till they see him for the Bad tour!! I loved his Dangerous shows but the Bad ones were just...wow.

I'd like to see History get released as well but I can live without it if they pull this off. I must also note that it kind of bugs me that some are saying, "Thats nice wheres this tour and that tour though?" Really? Sure it'd be nice to get others but the Bad tour is surely something fans have demanded for years and rightfully so. Lets embrace and enjoy this first and then worry about getting other things.

Hopefully its just a concert and nothing more. If they want commentary let that be on an extra disk or something. Just give me the show!!

can someone tell me if the Bad tour second leg is being released this year? it is the greatest tour ever and michael's vocals are incredible.

[DARKLIGHTDAN]

We waited too long!!!!! Cmon!

[Rhilo]

So a Bad tour concert release is confirmed?

[mirrordut]

bad tour on DVD!!! oh my god!!!!:woohoo:

[Gorozo]

gime me BAD Tour 88 and 89! :lol:

[Hess]

They should release more than just one concert.

Make a HUGE FAN BOX EDITION with a 87, 88 and 89 concert - and lots of behind the scenes and extra material.

The DWT DVD release was a total disaster!! - No extra, nothing - and a concert we all had anyway. - Waste of opportunity.

[Renan_Antonio]

I remember someone(and this person was somehow involved to Sony) said that it could be released in the movie theaters... Is that true? Does anyone remember that?

[MJBT]

That bit closer and the sooner the better

[MJelboo]

Really looking forward to this project. This tour deserves professional release more than anything!

[~Lindsey~]

Seriously if the Wembley Bad concert is shown at cinemas then that could possibly beat This Is It. I will try my best to see it as many times as possible on the big screen, my friends and I will be dressed up and heading to the cinema as if we are going to his concert-and I bet we won't be the only ones. If that concert is then released on dvd then that is going to be purchased multiple times- not for myself lol but everyone in my family and my friends are going to own a copy by the end of that year, share the love. Even better would be a boxset of the Bad tour, come on MJ Estate you have a captive audience ready for the magic

[Robbsaber01]

a boxset would be epic......First they should show the first show in tokyo 1987. Then release wembley AND L.A. Remember, they used to think the bad tour would be his last... Wembley had the greatest audience and hype. Therefore they should release those 3. Plus rehearsals.....

[CrazyVegasMJ]

Blu-ray needs to happen!

[MJJ95]

Yes we absolutely need a good Blu-Ray version !

[AlwaysThere]

I'd love to see the BAD World Tour in Wembley! Hoping this project gets the green light.
(I'm new here at MJJC by the way :D )

[KatMJ]

I'm so excited for this release!!!!!I hope they release the concert on Blu-Ray also,it will look absolutely stunning!!!!

I wish they release the Wembley or Los Angeles one!!!

One nice idea would also be to have it as a boxset along with Bad 25!!! : )

I'm so excited for this release!!!!!I hope they release the concert on Blu-Ray also,it will look absolutely stunning!!!!

I wish they release the Wembley or Los Angeles one!!!

One nice idea would also be to have it as a boxset along with Bad 25!!! : )
So are they releasing the Bad Tour second leg on DVD?

[MJ_FANtastic]

Any updates on this?? Michael Jackson Estate... please forget about the remixing of original BAD album tracks, forget about the Glee tribute, you can even put the Cirque tribute on the back burner........ WE WANT AN OFFICIAL BAD CONCERT 1989 DVD RELEASE!!

[lom kit]

I know it's wishful thinking, but a limited boxset of 87, 88, 89 legs would be the best. something like "the Ultimate Collection" boxset.
a regular release dvd/BLU-Ray of one concert for the cheaper's and none fans is enough.
If anything really happens, it's going to be only one concert. i'm happy, as long it's blu-ray. no blu-ray no buy, from me.

[T.N.A.]

^^That's actually a great idea. A limited edition/collectors edition boxset with shows from 87,88,89 would be amazing! That would be something worth spending money on!

[thug101]

Even if its not a blu ray it will be hq dvd

[Eric]

Does anyone know what the Bad tour was filmed on? If they didn't record it on film cameras would an HD version even be possible.

No blu-ray no buy for me too.

[Sunflowers]

Can't wait for this to come out. Been waiting for 20 years for this, as have all of you been. I really hope for the Wembley one. I hope they won't mix up different concerts in 1, hate it when they do that. I want to see 1 full show. 1st choice is Wembley, then LA. And in blu ray ofcourse.
And if they release Yokohama they are nuts. No one is going to buy it.

I really hope they listen to the fans choice in this case.

[Galactus123]

I really hope that this will get released. It would a HUGE disappointment if it doesn't happen.

[D4rkNezz]

dont count on it this year that it will come.. more 2015/2016

[Renan_Antonio]

It doesn't make any sense to be released 2015/2016... this year is Bad 25th, that's why our hopes are high... if they don't release it this year, then i guess it will never be released...

[lom kit]

Sorry, but no. I won't support such thing.
Rolling stones, U2 and others are getting blu-ray after blu-ray releases.
estate/sony is "fooling" us with the same old junk over and over. they need to learn.
they have material for blu-ray's. just need to sit and make good job.
Also not only fans but everyone is hungry for blu-ray of his videos.
Moonwalker was a good start.

[Pentum]

Not gonna support it if we get DVD. This is 2012 and they can't have that little money.

[Eric]

Not gonna support it if we get DVD. This is 2012 and they can't have that little money.But do we even know the concerts were filmed on a formet that would be capable of producing an HD copy? If something was filmed on an VHS recorder, you can't get HD from that.

[IMWhizzle]

But do we even know the concerts were filmed on a formet that would be capable of producing an HD copy? If something was filmed on an VHS recorder, you can't get HD from that.

Yes, watch 'Man In The Mirror' on the 'Moonwalker' Bluray. It was shot on film. I don't think only that song was shot on film, that would be a waste an expensive medium.

[big DB]

no it would be a waste to record a concert when they only wanted to have that song in the film, I think they probably just set up for that shot, they probably have bits and pieces of concerts but a complete one on film, i doubt.


they could probably release a blu ray but it would more than likely have a 4:3 ratio and not be widescreen.

well it was "confirmed" from people who worked at the time at the tour and also by the company (Noctrum???) that filmed the tour, that few dates were shot on film. Also that two of the wembley concerts have been professionaly audio mixed.
Look in the two big discussion threads about the bad tour. there was also snippets of the audios uploaded.

So what, many movies are released in their OAR 4:3. the importance is how the transfer is done. the cropping on Moonwalker wasn't bad at all.

[Gones69]

Hello,

My name is Nicolas, I am 22 years old and I am a fan of King of the Pop since 2004. I shall like(love) that Bad Tour goes out this year! I éspère! Wembley or Parc des Princes!

[FvrAngel]

I'm really wishing it comes out this year. Im so excited! :bugeyed

[Paris78]

Some rehearsal footage would be brilliant...

http://youtu.be/1Z3w_lV0Nuw
Smooth Criminal Full rehearsal Bad Tour 1988

[Rudolf]

also by the company (Noctrum???)

Nocturne Productions ;)

[moon is walk]

yes. i love this rehearsal. he's too beautiful

[Hess]

WOW...

That rehearsal footage of SC was GREAT! - A shame the Lounis Production watermark is so big. - But still - great quality! Are the any more rehearsal footage like this from the BWT ?

[FvrAngel]

Thankyou soo much for that rehearsal footage. I loved it :D

[Marissa87]

We need something for Bad 25. We must get something. If Sony doesn't get it together and release a Blu-Ray top of the line Bad everything - there is going to be some seriously pissed fans.

[lom kit]

In the end of the day, it's up to the Estate. If the Estate don't give anything to sony, nothing can't be released.
And the picture is like that:
Nocturne Productions - the Estate - Sony.
It's all speculation what i'm doing, but Nocturne have the footage i guess. i don't know what they have given to Michael at the time and what the estate has now in the archives or gotten from Nocturne Productions.
Sony doesn't have anything. they only distribute, what they have been given.

If I remenber right, Birchey was the one who contacted Nocturne and they said,
few Bad concerts were shot on film + plenty the recordings of the jumboscreens
one History is recorded in HD, apparently Munich.
About the Victory tour, don't remember what, how by who, but at least one is on film. thats the rumour floating around.


To be honest i don't want rehearsals as bonus featurette, knowing and seen how less to nothing Michel is doing there. to me wast of space, sorry.
I nice documentary about the tour would be better.

[HIStory88]

we need DVD's from the Dangerous World Tours & Bad World Tours, i hope some concert DVD's are coming :bored2:

[LLCz]

So if the TII soundtrack is included, then it goes...

1. This Is It soundtrack
2. Vision
3. The Experience
4. Michael
5. Cirque Du Soleil soundtrack
6. Off the Wall re-release
7. Bad re-release
8. Bad Tour DVD
9. ???
10. ???

An Off The Wall re-release is not happening any time soon. Bad is the only album to get an anniversary edition under the $250 million deal.

Also Michael Jackson: The Experience was not part of the deal.

[Rudolf]

Not just DVD's.. They should be BLU-RAYS! :)

[Jackson Rules]

I don't have a blu-ray player, so I hope they release the DVD too... I would buy it even if it is on VHS... i don't care about the quality, I just want to see that awesome tour...

[Rudolf]

I don't have blu-ray player as well. I watch HD on PC and Michael in HD is SO amazing! Blu-ray is a must!

[Billyjeanplxiv]

Im sorry dvd is fine, but Bluray is a must. Id buy it

[raz2911]

I would buy it if it was on VHS too!! As long as its watchable and clear I'm not that fussed about what it's released on, having said that I'll buy the blu-ray if it is released. I just pray it isn't Yokohama they release!

[HIStory88]

Not just DVD's.. They should be BLU-RAYS! :)

Blu-Ray would be a sweet idea but i hope like the THIS IS IT footage, the concerts comes in Blu-Ray & regular DVD - main thing here is we get the concerts with the best audio quality there is cause i dont want screaming girls and close up shots from the crowd on the dvd :clapping:

That's exactly how I want it, without over editing and zero crowd shots.

[Renan_Antonio]

If they release a Blu-ray, they will release a dvd too, thats obvious, so we MUST get Blu-Ray

[KatMJ]

Not just DVD's.. They should be BLU-RAYS! :)

THIS!!!!!

it's the greatest experience to watch HD Michael on TV!!!Especially a concert!!!

If they release it only on DVD I will be disappointed,but hey,it's better than nothing of course!!!!

[FvrAngel]

Can someone plz tell me what exactly is blu-ray?

[Renan_Antonio]

Does anyone know if this website is official from Sony or the Estate? http://www.bad25.com/

[Rudolf]

Can someone plz tell me what exactly is blu-ray?

Check out somewhere (maybe youtube) 1080p or 720p HD videos and compare their video quality to DVD. That's what Blu-ray is. It's outstanding HD quality. 10x better than DVD.

[floatingcity]

LOL! no way! Youtube HD is nothing like Blu-Ray HD. The bit rate is MUCH lower, but I see your intended point.

[Rudolf]

Not bitrate was my point. Of course that matters a lot. But I'm referring to HD in general. That's just example where you can see it even though it's compressed.

WOW!! I just saw a clip of Man in the Mirror from Moonwalker and it looks amazing. Almost as if i was up close I could even see MJ's sweat dripping :bugeyed Thanks

[Eric]

Does anyone know if this website is official from Sony or the Estate? http://www.bad25.com/I don't think so. It's unlikely that the album would get a seperate website. Michaeljackson.com is where info on the album will be.

[ShipOfFools]

I just really hope it happens soon! I would love to have it available in the stores. :)

[Renan_Antonio]

We want Bad Tour!!!!

[Paulatm]

According the Estate www.bad25.com is a fansite.

[Coduscus]

There is a certain website I'm not sure I am allowed to name, but I bought two FANTASTIC Blurays from there, a 1080p Bluray of Ghosts (ripped from the HDTV broadcast in Asia), and the full Munich concert, which is TRUE HD (we can confirm with sources that experimental 1080i cameras were used for the concert). They are obviously bootlegs, but EXTREMELY good quality. Personally, I find nothing wrong with buying them as long as you support the estate when there are official releases. Highly recommended, at least to see what Bluray is capable of, at least.

Google is your friend.
