From the Destiny to the HIStory tour, what were all the songs that were rehearsed/considered but never performed?

I'd argue "Walk Right Now" doesn't count due to it actually being performed (even if we have only 1-2 nights confirmed of it, and it was only really early in the tour).
Yeah there should be a thread about songs that were only performed a few times
For Destiny Tour they did "Do What You Wanna" from The Goin' Places Album/ "Blame It On The Boogie" 's B-face. in Jacksonville and syracuse maybe other shows too.
Triumph Tour: "Walk Right Now" was performed From July 8 (Memphis) To July 24 (Greensboro), "Enjoy Yourself" was also performed toward the last shows. The most surprising was "Give it Up".

You're gonna need to give sources. We have two tapes from the end of the "Triumph Tour" (two September dates) and neither of them have "Enjoy Yourself" or "Give It Up" on the setlist. Plus I don't remember any newspaper sources mentioning it, but I haven't checked those since in a few years.

I had Known for "Enjoy yourself" since 2008 but Never Found Video/Audio However articles confirmed it. Newspapers from the Cow Palace on September 10,1981.
"Give it Up" I was surprised. But If I can't find a Clear Full recording of "Walk Right Now", I don't think this one is out here.
By the way "Walk Right Now" was performed until July 28th (Lakeland FL).

Edit:I tried to send pics of the articles but failed i'll try another way later

Try and find a way to send the image, I'm really interested.

"Walk Right Now" has a full audio recording from the opening night but it's only owned by a few people, but a full rehearsal is online.

Again, would need a source on "Give It Up" existing at all.

Woah, good catch! After doing some review:
- "Walk Right Now" was last confirmed to have been performed on July 24th in Greensboro. Can you find the source on July 28th having it?
- "Enjoy Yourself; I found the Cow Palace review, it was performed as one of the opening numbers (seem before "Off the Wall). I also found a review for the Cincinnati show on August 8th that mentions it as well. Also, a review of the Tampa show on July 28th mentions that Jackie shared some vocals (mentioned alongside Randy, who has "Can You Feel It", and I think the only song that could be would be "Enjoy Yourself"?

Jackie spot was on "Enjoy Yourself" because the only other possibility would have been "Wondering Who" or "Bless His Soul" which I doubt was even reheased.
So that mean the July 28th show had both "Enjoy Yourself" and "Walk Right Now"https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/227399971/?match=1&terms=%22walk%20right%20now%22%20%22jackson%22
so initally the Complete setlist for the Triumph Tour was
  1. "Can You Feel It"
  2. "Things I Do For You"
  3. "Enjoy Yourself"
  4. "Off The Wall"
  5. "Ben"
  6. "Walk Right Now" (July dates)
  7. "This Place Hotel"
  8. "She's Out Of My Life"
  9. "I Want You Back" / "ABC" / "The Love You Save"
  10. "I'll Be There"
  11. "Rock With You"
  12. "Lovely One"
  13. "Workin' Day and Night"
  14. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"
  15. "Shake Your Body (Down The Ground)"

Apparently Be Not Always was rehearsed for Victory.

I actually read in his father joe's translated german autobiography 'die jacksons', that Michael rehearsed it for the 'victory' tour, but he couldn't get through it because he would break down each time. not in same way as 'she's out of my life' either.
