Me too-and I want them to be specifically the Triumph Tour, the Victory Tour and the Jackson 5 at the LA forum. I want good copies with books of photos that I can hold in my hand.absolutely not. all I care about from the estate, is a new concert

What do you mean by "both"? There were FIFTEEN concerts done at Wembley Stadium during his lifetime. SEVEN from "The Bad World Tour 1987-1989".
I have no interest in seeing another concert release. Once you've seen one you've seen them all unfortunately, there are exceptions, obviously, but Michael's performance style was extremely rehearsed and in general every concert from every tour was the same. New music and/or studio or rehearsal footage is where we should be going.

There seemed to be many variations to his Billie Jean performances, particularly the dance over the drums at the end when he put the hat back on. Sometimes he would do variations of the moonwalk, the robot, sometimes it was was short, sometimes longer...That seemed to always be spontaneous. I guess the band had to just get a feel for it and be prepared his signal to end, which I guess was whenever he would say "Billie Jean..."
The public, consumers, and fans should be allowed to decide themselves! Otherwise what was the point of filming everything professionally, duh.

WOW! Where are you getting this cockamee business?! You are talking about one of the world's greatest live performers of all time!! It's already known just about everything under the sun was professionally filmed! Don't even try with saying it wasn't! Are you KIDDING ME?!

Most of the Umatics produced have been lost overtime. The few that the estate have at their disposal are unusable (mainly due to audio problems),
exactly. no performances are the same

haha-I was trying not to be greedy and pin it down to the 3 I most want-the kids at the Forum would represent the early J5 concerts (and that album is terrific) and the Triumph Tour would be a great combination of the 2nd leg of Destiny and the Triumph album-when they were men, not kids and they were such a cohesive unit-working together so well-just such a unified group that supported all of Michael's strengths. (and again, THAT album was also terrific).Don't forget the 2nd leg of the Destiny Tour and early J5 concerts!
Let's say you're right that the audio is not top notch, the fact of the matter is then that that is the situation we have to face. What's the alternative, never release another Michael Jackson concert again? Now that would be ludicrous. If the audio sounds like the Japan and Brisbane bootleg or TWYMMF from the 15th then I'll embrace it with open arms. The Estate seemed to imply that FOH (Front House Mixes) was unsuable which is laughable.
They talked so much about how the audio for the wembley was perfectly captured and recorded but they couldn't even mix it properly! Yokohama has a better mix than Wembley.
And also footage from the Jumbotrone feed is professional. Suggesting otherwise is silly.
I wouldn't say that Jumbotron footage should be considered "professional". It isn't designed to capture the best angles or accurately cover the stage, but rather to give the audience too far away from the stage to witness everything first hand an opportunity to see what's going on. There's a clear difference between professional filming and Jumbotron captures.
Compare Munich 1997 to, say, Helsinki 1996 or Bucharest 1996.
Jumbotron captures would certainly do fine for a future release, but suggesting that it was "professionally filmed" implies that everything was captured with the extensiveness of Munich or Bucharest 1992 and is of the utmost quality, which unfortunately isn't true.
