my first MJ concert is Bucharest 1992. :bugeyed

10 minutes of silent amateur footage of the Jackson 5 at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo en 1974.
It's shaky, choped, silent, distant but I think it's still cool.
I'm surprised there's no more Jackson 5 amateur footage out there. There're many 8mm films of other artists' concerts from the 60's and 70's. Maybe Jackson 5's audience was too young to have film cameras ? Or they didn't bother ?
haha-what a bossy kid. Too funny.Bucharest 92 on BBC. Our cable TV was cut off (unpaid bill) I told my mother she had to go and pay it that day because of the concert. She just made it there on time and I had a TV and VCR in my room which I watched it and recorded it on. Still have my VHS copy somewhere. I had magazine pictures of MJ performing Jam so I cut them out and made a video cover. Things were exciting back then.
I used to make video covers like that too! fun times indeedBucharest 92 on BBC. Our cable TV was cut off (unpaid bill) I told my mother she had to go and pay it that day because of the concert.

You are so lucky! Were you right in the front?
I've never been to any of his concerts sadly
he was the first person to do this to me as well! and no one has ever been able to do it the same way that only he can doand I am pretty sure he was the first one who made my hormones go crazy feeling stuff I had never felt before.
I was at three concerts: Bayreuth 92, Prague 96 and Munich 97
it's not about what concerts you were at, but what concert you saw first on tv/video
Imagine if the first time you ever saw a Michael concert was in real life! That'd be so cool. It's one thing to be blown away by something on TV... but when the man himself is right there in front of you onstage! ...Wow!
That might be my parents actually! They went to see him when he came to New Zealand in '96 (I was too young) and I don't think they watched any of his concerts prior...
I don't think things like Hollywood Palace or Ed Sullivan count as a concert, do they?
Where are the millions of ppl that attended his shows? You mean to tell me all of that stock fan footage of ppl passing out & losing thier damn minds for him are not in these forums anywhere???? I've been wondering for years...where's all the she's out of my life & yana ladies at? Where are the fans who got backstage passes & now that i think about it. Did the people who were supposed to eat dinner with mj at the 2001 shows for buying front row tickets? Did they not go because of the 9/11 or was it set the 1st night? Never saw a mention of this anywhere. Sorry to be everywhere with this postImagine if the first time you ever saw a Michael concert was in real life! That'd be so cool.

ha! Your mom was right to be concerned-the audience was crazy bezerk and full of stampeding kids. Here's a picture from the show I went to.'My first concert with MJ was t he J5 from the same tour as Barbee posted the footage of (but I saw them in
Chicago).
I was a fan since their early tv appearances of 1969-70 (I was 7 at the time and I completely flipped!!), but I didn't get to see a live show for years! I had begged my mom every time but she wouldn't take me . I think mostly because she had heard about how crazy berserk the crowds were and she was afraid young kids would get trampled or get lost in the crowd. I thought I almost had her talked into going to see them at Black Expo (I argued that it wasnt just a concert, it was an educational cultural event!)) But then she had to work or something came up. Or she was still worried about the stampeding. After that she just said I might be allowed to go when I was a teenager if I stopped bugging her about it until then. But then IIRC she gave in and let me go when I was 12 .
I was so excited. I wish I remembered more details. I remember I likedMichael singing Happy from Lady Sngs the Blues. I loved that song at the time

PS-that girl is NOT me.
