I'm beyond debating it. It's sad to me that I'm actually having to seem to justify why Mexico 93 should not be released. It seems so perfectly simple and clear to me as to why it would be a horrendous move to put it out.
I have no real desire for any 92 show to be released per-say, more a desire to NOT have the Mexico 93 last show released. I thought the reasons why would be so clear to every single fan. I've been a fan for almost 30 years through all the ups and downs but the one thing MJ had was his legacy, his artistry. But in recent years this has began to be dismantled for the sake of the dollar.
I clearly have a different perspective to you of the difference between right and wrong.
So one of the points your making is about technical difficulties in 92 and suggesting that this would possibly make releasing one of those shows a bad idea (out of all the shows performed in 92) And the one major point I'm making is concerning HUMAN difficulties in Mexico 93. We clearly come from 2 very different places because I would take all technical difficulties in the world over human difficulties.
To say MJ was dependent on pain killers in 92 is nothing more than a trite way to try to justify that it was ok that he was high whilest performing in 93. It's another cop-out to angle the Mexico show as an acceptable release. I've also see words angled on MJBeats as the estate suggesting that MJ wanted this filmed as his farewell concert. Absolute nonsense as the man had no idea it was to be his last.
At the most simple basic entry level of watching MJ live, I would suggest any fan to watch MTV Dangeours Diaries followed by any available footage of Mexico 93 including the tower boot. Any technical difficulties are usually ironed out by the first 5 or 6 shows, anything after that is termed as simply evolving the show. The technical evolution of a show does not effect the performance of MJ, however what does effect the performance of Michael Jackson is stress, anxiety and migraine brought on by false accusations with the entire world watching.
if it were released (which it absolutely will not be) it would show an absolute lack of empathy and understanding towards the mans dignity and plight.
This fixation about not releasing a 1993 show is becoming really inexplicable.
I know that you are beyond debating but I have to provide some answers:
1. Any technical difficulties are not usually ironed out by the first 5 or 6 shows.
Technical difficulties (as imponderable factors) cannot be forecasted & usually keep reappearing in different forms & times, even after many dates.
For example, take into account that the Bucharest show, the
final show from the first leg, was plagued by various errors & mistakes. That’s why, the HBO version is essentially a mix of different shots from different shows. Notice some songs from the BBC version (the original version that included exclusively the Bucharest show) & you can see the major differences by yourself.
2. A possible 1993 live release (for example, the Mexico show) does not show at all an absolute lack of understanding towards the man’s dignity and plight.
People will see the enormous, unwavering support that MJ received from the audience during those months. Take into account also that half a million (in total) people attended those Mexican shows honouring, in this way, his dignity & sympathizing with his plight in the best possible way.
3. By saying that MJ was dependent on painkillers in 1992 I did not mean to try to justify that it was ok that he was high whilst performing in 1993.
This is just a correlation you made up on your own.
I never said (or implied) that thing, let alone to use it as trite way to justify anything.
4. I do not think at all that it has to do with a clearly different perspective of the difference between right and wrong.
For example:
There are fans that really enjoy the 1992 shows.
There are fans that really enjoy the 1993 shows.
There are fans that really enjoy the 2001 MSG shows.
etc.
I mean different people like different things & thus they have a desire for different official releases.
For me, this is perfectly normal & of course it has nothing to do with the difference between right and wrong. It just comes down to every single fan’s personal taste.
For example, although MJ encountered great human difficulties during those MSG 2001 anniversary shows, I am pretty sure there are a lot of fans who really enjoy these 2 concerts. They are not to be blamed for that, of course.
Lastly, there are millions of fans who express their honest sympathy & devotion towards MJ in multiple ways. The fact that they probably want an official, 1993 live show obviously does not take their fan loyalty away in the slightest.
