I've seen a lot of Michael Jackson fans like myself discuss the Bad Tour and how great it was and what other non-Wembley shows they would like to see get a release. Today, I wanna talk about a "What if" scenario based on that demand...
Let's say that next year (2017) or maybe the year after (2018), the Estate and Sony were planning to release another Bad Tour DVD. This time, a U.S. show. Which show would you rather have if you had to choose between these two?
March 3rd, 1988 at the N.Y.C. Madison Square Garden or January 27th, 1989 at the L.A. Memorial Sports Arena?
Personally speaking: I myself would choose 3/3/88. I don't hate LA 1989. In fact, I'd love to have a release of it (as long as "Dirty Diana" from Michael's Nov. 88 performance in LA was included since it's the only song not sung in 89). It would also make some sense since we've had two shows, one in 1987 and the other in 1988. However, the reason I would choose MSG is because it's literally a legendary show. Michael performed it as a benefit concert to raise money for the UNCF. He was still very much in his prime, more so than Wembley. There's no missing songs - the entire setlist was performed. And let's not forget the big epic on-stage kiss between MJ and Tatiana.
That's just what I'd prefer anyway. What about you? Between these shows, which of the two would you like to see released if there was to be another Bad Tour DVD and explain your reasons? Of course if you have another show in mind, feel free to explain why you like that show the most and/or why you want to see it released. Thank you
