I was at History concert in Dublin, Ireland in July 1997 and I was also at the MJ and Friends concert in Munich in 1999.
They were very different concerts.
The History concert was a full almost 2 hour performance by Michael.
The MJ and Friends concert in Munich was more like an all day festival. It was originally meant to be two concerts, one which had classical music artists and one which had pop and modern artists, but they combined the two ideas and just had one all day concert.
It started about 2pm and there were many different people performing. Some did one song, some did a few. Some were international, some were just known in Germany.
Michaels part was the last part, late at night and he did about 30 minutes.

The 1999 Munich concert cannot be considered better than the ones in Munich in 1997.
The reason is mainly the serious bridge accident that he had (during the 1999 Munich concert) which marred the rest of his show.

They are both very different types of concerts. One was a world tour, one was a charity event where Michael was the headliner.
They can not be compared to say which one was better as you are not comparing like for like.
The only thing thats the same is the location, they were both in the Olympic Stadium and he stayed at Bayerischer Hof Hotel for both events.
Even the audience was different, as they were not all there just for Michael. Fans of all the other artists who performed were also there.
