Well, I'm not even 60 yet :fortuneteller:, so I don't want to wait tooooo long!!!
I know this is Bieber but this is kind of how I would want a documentary on MJ's music to be. This detailed on every song. Letting us hear different versions of songs throughout the creative process. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...in-bieber-diplo-skrillex-make-a-hit-song.html
Anyone else just hoping for a documentary and not a tour release right now?
I'm not even 30 yet, I want to have some stuff to look forward to for a few years yet! I don't want the well to be dried up in only a couple of years. in 2012 we got MJ's best concert yet, it's only 2015. MJ himself never released things that soon after the last.
Destiny Tour : 79 concerts played
Triumph Tour: 42 Concerts played
Victory Tour : 52 Concerts played
Bad Tour : 123 Concerts played
Dangerous : 69 Concerts played
History Tour : 82 Concerts played
To aggregate that is 447 concerts filmed on video/tape/film. I'm pretty sure the well of concerts won't get dried up anytime soon.

That is not really how it equates and especially with MJ , when MJ did a tour , it was pretty much a set routine , same set list , same performance , each concert of that tour , even down to the noises , squeals , all in the same places etc. The set lists would change slightly after certain legs etc but that is it.
WBSS is pretty much the same in every single tour id say aside from Victory where it is slightly different. MJ was not like other artists who would be a bit more spontaneous during tour dates .

But it was essentially the same show every night.
Doing an adlib different or having a different jacket or cutting a song out doesn't mean its radically different...

Obviously the user didn't mean the 'same every night' in the literal sense that would be impossible
The fact is that there is 447 concerts filmed on video/tape/film. That was my point.
That's not fact though. We all know that Michael was rather sporadic when it came to his archiving so while ideally there should be a good number of concerts locatable/stored by the Estate, there's no way that all 447 concerts are.
How is that not a fact? It is a fact that 447 concerts were filmed throughout Destiny all the way to History. Now whether all concerts exists today and what kind of shape they're in and if most of them are archived is up for speculation. But the fact still remains that MJ taped all of his concerts.
Michael was different every night. His mood and energy wasn't the same. Michael's peformances also evolved during the tour like for example watch Another Part Of Me from New York or Kansas and compare it to Wembley. To me every concert is different.
Aren't all pop star shows the same in a given tour, in terms of the determined setlist and general choreography?
Many are like that, but definitely not all.Aren't all pop star shows the same in a given tour, in terms of the determined setlist and general choreography?
Every concert is on video. The jumbotron footage of every concert was recorded on tape and that is where the Wembley concert we have is from.As far as tour footage though, we can go back and forth regarding how much was recorded but we can all agree that several concerts per tour was filmed (IF) not all. IF you have the tools to film, I don't see why not recording all though!! and it was very much in Mikes style to film more than enough of everything..
He had someone to fallow him and just film him on a semi regular basis just to document for Gods sake..
We could have an hour of footage of some sort released every month and it last a lifetime... lol!
Yes totally. However that doesn't stop a singer being spontaneous, MJ was not. Bruce Springfield , David Bowie had "setlists" but veered from them either due to his mood or the mood of the crowd. Obviously I adore MJ but he was very robotic and programmed in his concerts , hence why i said previously there really is no need to see any more concerts . One / Two is more than enough . I want to hear Men in Black , some hidden demos , not rehashed ones like we got on Xscape that most of us fans had already heard and knew about.
Just look at his dancing at the 2003 BET Awards, the James Brown/BB King concert or Diana's performance of Upside Down. Technically as strong as always, but with the added energy of being completely unrehearsed and totally in-the-moment. That spontaneous, raw energy is just something which a rehearsed performance can never quite duplicate.
