Yeah his voice in 87 was something else. Yokohama is a fantastic vocal performance, even the "Aow" after "your a vegetable" in WBSS is incredible pitch. Agree with innuendo also, that performance of HH is a masterclass.
87 had the better vocals, but 88 had the better setlist

His vocals were top notch in '87. In fact, now I am watching Yokohama on YT again. You guys just reminded me of what a great show it was. My fave part is Shake Your Body - so sexy.
I wish that he would have performed Another Part Of Me in 87.
Where did you found this? I know that his voice was amazing in the first leg when he sing it, but in Tokyo he used the original key?I only recently found out that he sang Thriller in the original key in Tokyo and its brilliant.
His voice in the first leg when he sang Thriller was fantastic, it's close to the album voice. I wish that he would have performed TWYMMF in 87' I that will be very good.

How come his voice slightly changed? Was it because the strain of performing all year in '87?

I literally get blown away everytime i watch this.
Just listening to New York 88... His voice isn't far off 87 in most songs, Another Part of Me sounds amazing, way closer to the original, singing the original lyrics too.
This is a show I would love in pro quality. Not HQ, Not HD, just pro would do for me!
What do we know about the '87 rehearsals? When did they take place? Were there any songs performed in rehearsals that never made the '87 shows? There might be a hidden gem like The way you make me feel or smooth criminal performed by Michael in '87!!!!
In Tokyo concert Michael performed it without the curtain:Because of The Legend Continues it was the first live performance of MJ (other than Motown 25) that I had ever seen, and since day 0 it has been the best performance I've ever seen of any song. It's mind blowing. The energy, the voice, the transformation of the song into a faster aggressive eruption of blissful music. Everything about it is perfect, Michael, Jennifer, Greg's direction, the backing singers, the subtle intro (I always liked how behind the silhouette Michael did less dancing, giving a "less is more" aspect to it, just letting his shadow do the work, before throwing the hat off.
Absolutely 100% perfect.
