Users on YouTube and other sources have asked if there's a multitrack from a Bad World Tour concert. So far, there hasn't been any confirmation, and even a Google search for it is fruitless. If there is, there are only reconstructions.
 
Wembley 88, July 16 didn't have a multitrack !
 
Moonwalker Man in the Mirror. I remember someone posting different channels of the 5.1 mix.
 
Just compare those pictures of earlier soundboard tapes sold on ebay and the tapes in Brad’s case in one of those videos… they are from the same source (writing style) .. there’s more out there.. those are ‘just’ soundboard copies. Now, knowing that Brad even had Yokohama 87 multitrack audio, says a lot.. I’m sure they have several Japan multi’s and LA was professionally recorded for release, so they must exist for those concerts too.. then there’s the Wembley multi’s from several dates which GoFlying confirmed years ago.. and these are just the things that we know of.

Just imagine someone finding a box (outside from the estate) with reels or 10 soundboard audio tapes in it.. it would be mass hysteriazz and it’s quite possible :)
 
I don't imagine that the openning night 12 September doesn't have multitrack.
 
According to Brad Sundberg, the whole 1987 Japanese leg was multitracked.
So did Wembley second and third night.

As per Moonwalker, it's still a mystery. It's clearly an early US show, but there was never any confirmation that any concert of that leg was multitracked. (The audio sounds a lot like the MSG first night soundboard as well.)
 
If the Warren Eagles Wembley '88 concert film was actually released, I wonder what audio they would have used? July 15? 16? Probably a mixture of several multitrack dates. Im sure Leeds was also multi.

I was always under the impression that MITM Moonwalker was spliced and edited from various different shows, no? It sounds incredibly chopped up and unlike any MITM performance from the Bad Tour.

Certainly edited, could be spliced. However, it sounds 100% like early US shows to me.

Doesn’t the audio perfectly match to the Minneapolis footage? I thought it was widely accepted that the audio comes from that show.

I think there are a few moments where it doesn't, but don't quote me on that.

To my knowledge, the Live "Man In The Mirror" Audio / and "Black Jacket" portion of concert footage are actually from the

How did they sound? The victory tour audio available is really poor quality so I’d love to hear properly mixed versions

Was it possible to tell which city or country the tracks were from based on MJ’s vocals?
 
Pretty sure most concerts during the Bad Tour were multi-tracked considering they were planning on actually releasing the footage properly with a behind-the-scenes documentary. The audio from Moonwalker was definitely multi-tracked (which is from May 6th according to you), but the audio presented on the Blu-Ray sounds more like a 2-Track master rather than 5.1 remixed multi-tracks. Wembley 15th and 16th were multi-tracked as per Go Flying and a random FB post demonstrating the 15th being digitally transferred. I don't know about Yokohama, but y'all seem to have good reason for believing that it was multi-tracked. All I know is that the full released concert is definitely recorded from a broadcast (which is widely known) and that the bonus feature on Wembley 16th's DVD sounds much better, probably the soundboard audio (But from an actual master and not as far down the generation line as LA). All in all, I think it's safe to assume that if a show was shot on film, it was probably multi-tracked as it would be used to produce audio and video for an official release.

Brad Sundberg has claimed the entire '87 leg was multitracked (Japan and Australia).

It's pretty fair to say that's not the case, mate. We know from Warren Eagles that a concert film edited using footage from all July concerts at Wembley was done and that the same crew edited the APOM music video, which has July 15 multitrack audio. All things considered, I'd say the concert film also had/has July 15 multitrack audio.
