Looking for pics. Michael in front of the crowd

He is so close to the crowd in those shots very cool,
This is one of the reasons I love these photos so much. More or less any gig photo, I'll love it, but these in particular. A never-to-be-repeated phase in Michael's performing life.

maybe it was still somewhat possible before thriller.
Exactly. These photos aren't just good gig photos, they are massively rich in history, Michael's history.

I assume this is near the end of the concert.
Looks like it, doesn't it? He's just going all out, lol.

And that hat is that something he picked up from the crowd?
I wish I knew. I love this photo and I LOVE the hat and the cool way he's wearing it. But, yeah, where did it come from? What's going on here? These are the stories I want but presumably will never, ever get. Sigh!

I remember him wearing British police helmet in 79 during a concert in London.
Yeah, that was cute.

All these shots look like he is in a spur of the moment. These things aren’t supposed to be happening.
Yes!!! The spontaneous feel of these photos, I love that. I want more! Gigs where things aren't supposed to happen but they do anyway are always the best gigs, imo.

@Blues_Away2023 - this is the thread I was talking about.

Poor picture quality but a good look at 80's Michaelmania.


yes, nicely done video. Honestly, I think the new fans like me can never really grasp the magnitude of Michael mania at the height of his career.
This x 1000%.
