I would definately add Who Is It to both Dangerous and HIStory tour.

I would also add Is It Scary to HIStory tour.

And I would love if the set-list had changed a little more during the tour. - make it a goal for each song from that album the tour promotes to be performed live. ALL songs should at some point be performed live.

Little Susie could have been so cinematic/theatrical live. Like Earth Song is nearly theater Little Susie could have been so amazing live. - And after Little Susie Smile could have been released.

BUT - If I could choose I would not have just one set-list for each tour (or 1 set-list for each leg!) MJ was so professionel and the band was world class so of course they could rehearse more songs and change between them.
 
And I think I would end every tour with Man In The Mirror !! - A perfect way to end a show!

i wouldn't change anything. all his set lists (well, except for the Dangerous Tour's second leg set list) were perfect
 
For me the Royal Concert in Brunei is very very special & unique, that would be the one & only set list I'd prefer over the others. Maybe, adding Scream/TDCAU after Jam; and Heal the World before MITM would have made it even more better! :)
 
Some songs I would have loved to see MJ perform at concert are: Liberian Girl (Bad Tour), Leave Me Alone (Bad Tour), Remember The Time (Dangerous Tour), Who Is It (Dangerous Tour), Give In To Me (Dangerous Tour) and maybe something like 2 Bad for the HIStory tour.

Honestly, the 2nd leg Bad tour's setlist is perfect to me.
Just withdraw Heartbreak Hotel (APOM should be after WBSS imo) and add DSTYGE after Rock With You, and I would agree! The setlist is solid!

The only things I would change are:
-The Bad Tour ‘87 leg would have the same setlist as the second leg
-Add “Remember the Time”, “Give In To Me”, and “In The Closet” to the Dangerous Tour setlist so that it better represents the album it’s promoting.
 
If you could change each setlist from BAD, Dangerous and HIStory Tours what would you change them to? please keep in mind that this is only a bit of fun

Tbh I think the Bad and HIStory tour sets were perfect. I would only change the Dangerous set and I have two options for that:

Fanmade DWT Setlist (1):
  1. Jam (with snippets of Why You Wanna Trip On Me, She Drives Me Wild and In The Closet starting from 1993)
  2. Wanna Be Starting Something
  3. Human Nature
  4. Smooth Criminal
  5. I Just Can’t Stop Loving You

  9. Beat It (1992 only)

  11. The Way You Make Me Feel (1992 only)
  12. She Drives Me Wild (1993 only)
  13. In The Closet (1992 only; alternate to TWYMMF)
  14. Give In To Me
  15. Dangerous
  16. Who Is It (1993 only)
  17. Remember The Time
  18. Will You Be There
  19. Black Or White
  20. Heal The World

Fanmade DWT Setlist (2):
  1. Jam (with snippets of WYWTOM, SDMW and ITC starting from 1993)
  2. WBSS
  3. HN
  4. SC
  5. IJCSLY
  6. SOOML
  7. J5 Medley
  8. Thriller
  9. BI (1992 leg only)
  10. BJ
  11. RTT (1992 leg only)
  12. GITM (1993 leg only)
  13. Dangerous
  14. WYBT
  15. BoW
  16. HTW
  17. MITM+Rocket Man
 
i wouldn't change anything. all his set lists (well, except for the Dangerous Tour's second leg set list) were perfect
IMHO the 1993 Dangerous set list feels more like it’s promoting the eponymous album than the 1992 one. I think that was the best version of Dangerous tour.
