I was wondering if there have been debates or discussions about Michael's voice during those years. When you listen the 1973 live album you can hear he struggles at times (Jermaine sounded better than Michael live during those concerts). It is still ok but it is a far cry from his near perfect live vocals from 1970 to 1972. Did this spark discussions in the band as to who should be the lead singer of the band? What was Motown's take or Joe's vision? What did Michael himself think?
If the live in Japan album is any indication it seems the setlists (just 12 songs compared to the live at the Forum disc of 1972's where they played 20 plus songs) were generally shorter, maybe to spare Michael?
