A Message from the Estate Of Michael Jackson Re Wembley concert DVD Quality [Discussion]

[StellaJackson]

oh really...? And have MJfans throw another temper tantrum?


Go back to November 2010....

I think they've made the right decision. Now those who don't want the DVD, well their lost...and those who want it....their gain.

There is only so much on can do...they will never please the whole fan base. MJ himself couldn't ...

What happened in November 2010 had nothing to do with using different audio. And the reaction from fans was not a "temper tantrum" as you call it but a genuine reaction to an absolutely appalling situation, which is still an ongoing issue.

I am thankful for the explanantion. They didn't have to give us a dvd at all. I am looking forward to it.

I don't think there is anybody out there who doesn't want the DVD. We all want it. But the DVD is just not enough.

they will never please the whole fan base

Maybe not, but they would be more likely to please them if they asked the fans first. Maybe they should integrate some fans in their team.

Sorry..but didn't most fans ask for Wembley? I could have sworn...

And I wonder what would have happened and they did go ahead and release the Japan leg on DVD.

Second, the estate doesn't HAVE to ask for fans' input ...MJ didn't put us in control.

MJ himself didn't consult fans for T25, he gave us whatever he wanted... if the estate does ask for fan's input, they are just being gracious.

This is not a RIGHT. The sense of entitlement needs to come down a notch.


Enough or not...at this point it's beyond anyone's control.

Just wondering which fans that might be. The ones who are happy that they've released this and done their best or the ones who still feel it's not enough?

So what is a Umatic tape exactly?

Haha, so its what for many was unbelivable, masters are lost.
When i think of the discussion about "how things can get lost?" and what a businessman Michael was.
Like i said , you compare apples with pears. Negatives of big movies are lost and destroyed and you wonder that this happend to Michael.
But what is strange to me why Michael didnt care all these years what has happened.
The few videos we have from tv recordings are from promo tapes send to stations. They were created and the rest of the footage should have been strored.
Where are the tapes? Hmm, in one of the many storages michael had and no one knew about them. Like the one that was found after his dead.
The film masters will come out one day, just the searching of every matetial must continue.
Some will say, but LA was planed for release. I always doubtet this and now im pretty sure. The footage seen at soul train awards was the promo just like the others videos.
I think there is archives where some material is held and can be used for editing videos like "carmina burana"
and storage where every concert is (supposed) stored.

I find it great of the estate that took our concerns very seriously and explaned just over a week after the official announcement.
They expected the quality to raise concerns and worked from the begining about the issue.

I doubt that anyone was asking for a low quality Wembley concert (and I'm not complaining about the Wembley concert. I think it's great that we are going to get it). If fans had had the chance of choosing between a low quality Wembley concert or a high quality Japan concert, maybe they would have chosen Japan.

Who knows? But some fans would be definitely better than no fans at all

But MJ performed only 2 songs from the Bad album. And the bootlegs are out there...

Great statement from the estate

Great to know that they listen to the fans now
They knew mayority of the fans didn't want the Japan concert

It was still the Bad tour (and no tour compares the Bad tour ). The bootlegs are out there in DVD format with enhanced VHS quality. Now we get another DVD with enhanced VHS quality.

Completely supported. Estate has done a good job! Congratulations!

The Estate isn't Michael Jackson.

I've been VERY critical of the estate based on the whole 2010 debacle .. but I think they're REALLY doing a great job in listening to the fans now. After all .. it's the fans who drive sales of these products. It's awesome they're paying attention and addressing concerns.

The BAD 25 package looks amazing .. DVD in any form is a bonus .. LIVE ALBUM .. HELL YES!
