I know it might seem like a pipe dream, since the Estate hasn't released any concert since 2012 (Wembley). Many of us got tired of endless waiting, really disappointed with the Estate, and some might have lost all faith with them.
But imagine if the Estate will release a new concert every year, starting from 2021. What's wrong with that?
They can make their money, we can see Michael "relive" on screen again, and have something to hope for every year. I see no downside in this.
It doesn't have to be a Bluray or DVD release, since there are so many ways to release videos these days. It can be a YouTube release like Ghosts 2020, or from other streaming service. I bet lots of fans are willing to pay for a great Michael Jackson concert streamed online.
It doesn't even have to be 1080p HD or 4K, if a tape is the only source. If most of us can bear with Wembley in worse than VHS quality, we can accept anything. In addition, I believe they have many Bad Tour concerts in Umatic tape quality (like MSG, New York 1988 and maybe Wembley July 14th), a few in Beta tape quality (like Los Angeles 1989, Yokohama 1987), and many Dangerous Tour & History Tour concerts in Beta tape quality. Some might be editable like Bucharest 1992. Currently there's no definite information whether they have the ability to release a concert on film.
Here's my list. You don't need to agree with my choice, and you're welcomed to share your list.
2021 - Bad Tour Los Angeles 1989 (maybe with the last Dirty Diana performance as a bonus)
2022 - History Tour Bremen / Cologne / Milan 1997
2023 - Dangerous Tour Singapore (birthday concert) 1993
2024 - Victory Tour xx (whatever great and HQ) 1984
2025 - Bad Tour MSG, New York 1988 (maybe merged from three nights, or pick the best)
2026 - Royal Concert in Brunei 1996 (re-edited and HQ)
2027 - Dangerous Tour Monza 1992 (maybe merged from both nights)
2028 - Bad Tour Paris / Liverpool / Cologne 1988
2029 - Dangerous Tour Mexico City (or whatever with Man in the Mirror) 1993
2030 - Bad Tour Sydney / Brisbane / Tokyo / Yokohama 1987
2031 - History Tour xx (whatever great and HQ) 1996
2032 - Dangerous Tour Tokyo / Wembley, London 1992
2033 - Bad Tour one of the United States shows 1988 (or U.S. montage)
...
There might be so many other great concert choices I can't think of due to lack of information. Just think of it: it may take 10 more years till we see all the concerts above, if they release a new concert every year.
I don't want to grow old and tired only watching Bucharest and Wembley and other few concerts leaked over the years, knowing that there are better concerts and better quality footage out there in their great vault. I just want to enjoy more Michael Jackson concerts in best quality available, since it's impossible for him to provide anything new himself after his passing.
I really hope that the Estate would see this, and really listen to and do something for the fans.
