I don't know about you guys but i think that would make an excellent montage concert on Blu-Ray, sourcing the strongest footage & vocal/dance performances.
 
The perfect concert for me is a full live concert, no matter what songs he played.
 
Tony, gotta put Human Nature and WDAN in there somewhere...Speechless would've been awesome too.

I'd end everything with Earth Song. Maybe encore with This Is It. Did Mike ever do encores?

I have seen many places list Man in the Mirror as encore on Bad Tour.

Yeah Speechless would be great. Not bothered about Humsn Nature though. Plenty of better songs, would prefer a LIVE SIM.

I class MITM as encore on DWT. He said goodnight after HTW then came back on.

If one is performing for so long, no one would reach even the half of this set list
 
I know. It's just a fantasy, and it could be like they were planning to do with This Is It I believe, where a song is replaced with another song on some concerts. Those are just the songs I'd most liked to have seen performed during a tour.
 
I would have loved it if lightman continued with we are here to change the the World, the proposed costume would have fitted, Captain Eo 21st Century style
