What are your fave songs here?
I've only just discovered it's on Spotify, been listening quite a bit too it.
Some early thoughts:
-That vocal difference of MJ from 1970 to 1972. He struggled with the changing voice a lot but still managed to pull it off mostly. Most noticeable on " got to be there" in 1972 which he had recorded only about a year before this performance but he already couldn't hit the required notes anymore. But as good singers do they find ways around it so it still sounds good.
-1970 vocals were breathtakingly good. he didn't hit this peak live anymore till 1976-1978 probably, although I need to hear/find way more of the years in between.
-loved all the songs I hadn't heard live yet like ain't no sunshine, sugar daddy, mama's pearl etc etc
-crowds was crazy
-felt more like a band than later on during the Jacksons
-crowd clearly loved EVERY member not just MJ, Marlon seemed to get the least loud cheers
-overall feel of the Jackson 5, all of them are very talented, the others should get more credit among the current fan community
-Live is so much better than the album tracks, I'm going to be listening to this a lot the coming weeks.
