dethorro;4288828 said:This is hard to say, as we have very little footage from the Triumph Tour, but I think the best shows from the tour were the 2 MSG shows and the Providence show.
The live album was recorded mainly on these 3 nights and it is perfect imo and the outfits on these three shows were, again imo, the best.

should this happen
Nice but that date "walk right now" wasn't played. :-S
Since there was no 30th anniversairy release in 2010 they should consider a 40th anniversary release now. /smartass-mode off
There must be some outtakes. "That Girl" and "Slipped Away" I think are some. I wonder if Slipped Away became Time Waits for No One or if it's a totally different song.
The Jacksons Triumph album was released on October 18, 1980.
Should there be an anniversary release? What kind of bonus content would you like see on such an anniversary edition?
It's a nice idea, but the remaining Jacksons are generally lazy with this type of thing; without Michael here, I don't think there's much point.
Who is Shana Mangatal
Wouldn't "Dance & shout" be an alternate version of "Shake your Body", since these are adlibs in the song and, 1978, so it might be
I found the twitter account of the assistant engineer, Ross Pallone. You can contact him if you like. https://twitter.com/rosspalloneAnybody know how to contact Tom Perry? He was the engineer on this album and worked on some other stuff with MJ during this time period. I would think he would know more about the demo's/outtakes surrounding this album. He did an interview about this album a few years ago.
I think someone agrees (13:09):
Btw, she talks about unreleased songs a little bit before.
I was able to contact the engineer for this record, Tom Perry. I asked about any unreleased cuts, including "Slipped Away". His response: "Honestly don't remember. I don't think there were any extra tracks".
So maybe there were and he forgot... But it's probably more probable unreleased tracks like Slipped Away were recorded at home and never made it to the studio sessions. Slipped Away sounds like a song similar to Time Waits For No One. So maybe that could've been an early working title, or Slipped Away just wasn't as good as Time Waits for No One.
Because Motown does that with a lot of their classic era artists. They release endless compilations with the same songs on them too. Motown has pretty much been a catalog label since the 1980s. Their last really popular act was probably Boyz II Men in the early 1990s. Also Motown had their 1960s and early 1970s acts constantly recording, so there was a lot of excess material. They didn't just record songs for an album. Back then it was somewhat common to release non-album songs as singles or use extra songs as a B-side of a single.I raised this before, how come we have albums upon albums of unreleased Jackson 5 songs, and we have about 30 or so MJ unreleased songs but my current count of unreleased Jacksons tracks remains at 0. Am I wrong?
