The Jackson 5 (1970-1974. Concerts and rehearsal fragments are known to exist. Although no specific information currently.)
The Jackson's:
Destiny Tour (Oakland, snippets and performances have appeared on YouTube and a snippet included in Journey From Motown to Off The Wall.)
Victory Tour (Confirmed back in the day during a special that aired covering the performance in Chicago, it was revealed that more than 30 miles of film footage had been shot up to that point. It is unknown what has been filmed following this particular date, although Los Angeles is also believed to exist.)
Michael Jackson:
BAD World Tour 1987 ("Kerry, hello. We started out in Tokyo with 1 beta cam and soon purchase a 35mm BL 4 and a 16mm camera. Eventually our crew grew to 5 and we shot miles of color neg at shows in Tokyo and Osaka. Moved on to Australia and more shows. I was his DP/director until we came back to the US to regroup for Europe. Several changes happened and I quit the show. A few of our original crew continued, but I departed. Miles of 35 neg, shows, interviews, moments with MJ, some great stuff. Have now idea where it is now. Rather certain entire UK shows were filmed. Later..bp")
BAD Tour 1988 ("My first real grading job was on the Michael Jackson Bad tour in 1988, directed by Patrick Kelly. I was an assistant telecine operator at Visions, located in Soho, London. As an assistant I laced the film, loaded the film cleaner and pressed REC on the 1” VTR.
The concert was shot on a mixture of 35mm and 16mm film, it seemed at times they were shooting film for fun! The crew filmed 2 nights out of the 5 Wembley stadium gigs, film was also fed from the earlier tour legs in Australia, Japan, and Europe. As an accompanying piece to the concert, an “on the road” documentary was also filmed at the same time. The concert was cut in a 4 machine 1” online edit suit, not offlined. This was before Avid of FCP offline so the alternative would have been a lowband umatic or ¾ edit. As soon as the film came in from the lab we would be transferring it, feeding the footage on to 2 hungry edit suites.
It is still the biggest music project I have ever been involved with in terms of volume of footage. We would load each negative film lab roll onto the Rank MK111 telecine machine then set the counter to a known sync point on the film. So LR 10 would be TC 10:00:00:00. The sync point would be the start mark on the film leader.
The single “Another part of me” was cut from some of my early telecine work. The music video was cut from footage shot in London and Paris, that shows you how tight Jackson’s performance was. As far as I know the complete concert and documentary has never been released. A disappointing waste as the film managed to capture Jackson at his peak. Jackson never came into Visions during the project but Frank Dileo, his cigar smoking manager, visited a couple of times.")
^^ Other shows that are believed to exist to some degree: Madison Square Garden, Minneapolis, Munich, Wurzburg, Roundhay Park, Milton Keynes, Hamburg, Werchter, Tokyo, Montpellier, Lausanne, Cork and Aintree Racecourse.
Dangerous World Tour
HIStory World Tour (Munich July 4th & 6th, Leipzig August 3rd. Currently their is no information regarding any other shows at this time.)
30th Anniversary (September 7th & 10th 2001)
This Is It (7 unreleased Rehearsals: Dirty Diana, Stranger In Moscow, Heal The World, Dangerous, You Are Not Alone, We Are The World (Band/Vocalists) and Will You Be There.) Other songs are also rumoured to exist including: Don't Stop til you get Enough, Rock With You and You Rock My World. Not forgetting meetings, interaction with the band and crew etc.
If any of you have any additional information or some things that I may have missed that would be greatly appreciated and will be added into the first post. Thanks.
