@Agonum what’s with the crowds dagsform? They’re all asleep!

 

[Just/a/fan]

They are asleep! It's hard to perform for a dud audience. A good audience gives energy to perform. I don't know how he did it.

Embarrassing! I unfortunately wasn’t there to coordinate them.

I don't know from which day this was (the concerts took place on 2 days). I was there on the 12th of June and it was awesome as far as I can remember. But I was just a little girl standing quite far away. I can remember girls fainting and all the other hysteria surrounding MJ though.

Did he perform twymmf and mitm? And did he say any word in swedish? When he did concerts in Germany he always said I love you in german.

I'm pretty sure he said it in English (I love you), can't remember him saying "jag älskar dig". Mitm yes, twymmf: not sure (I was really young) but I remember him and Sheryl Crow singing IJCSLY and I think some Jacksons songs too - like Heartbreak Hotel (which I LOOOVE). But as I said this is all so long ago...BTW: I saw him in Germany once too (HIstory Berlin) and I managed to get to the first row so he was just in front of me

This might interest you. Michael doesn't seem to be all that popular with one say say say and black or white reaching nr 1 in Sweden, surprisingly the Jackson 5 reached nr 1 with "going back to Indiana". I have no idea if that actually happened but why not, right?

Odd. I will have to research this.

I despise daytime concerts. And all who enjoy them.

It wasn’t daytime, in the summer we have white nights in Scandinavia. Since it never really gets dark (or just for a few hours) there is no other way to do it.

Aw shucks. I was just kidding anyway, this was huge bait.

It is interesting how many of MJs shows were outdoors anyway.

I think most of them were outdoors. Or do you know any indoor concerts?

Seriously, mate, you need to start using emojis.

I read somewhere that some of his shows started quite early (7pm?) bc of so many kids attending but no idea if that is true.

BTW: 200+K went to the BAD concerts in Gothenburg. For a city with 450K inhabitants that’s pretty BAD! And yes, l‘m fighting for the honor of my old hometown

Considering most of them were stadium shows, no there aren't any. Not before the 2000s anyway.

 

[filmandmusic]

In the amsterdam arena the roof closed so it was indoors. Concerts in stadiums are a lot better than in a field imo

 

[SmoothCriminal1995]

Nothing beats watching Mike in his prime, someone should have told that audience

 

[flight85]

I wonder if they filmed more full songs from that angle? Is the footage still available somewhere? Is it accessible for viewing? Would LOVE to know

Cool. Did not know that.

The O2 would've definitely been indoors obviously
