That has unfortunately been xscape guy 2003's style for a good amount of years now. It can be misjudged as being too passionate, but the same can be said about people who do not share his (usually) very naive look at the Estate's ways of handling things
Yeah, the idea was great but the execution was piss poor. Same can be said for 95% of post 2009 happenings with these guys.
It's me who posted it on SHF, and I got it from a MJ-oriented server on Discord
Guess I'm one of the few. Go back to the threads when Toronto 84 leaked. Several fans here were excited/very interested in this tour. All we had before this was LQ Dallas & Kansas. If the legal tape didnt exist I would be hoping for an official victory concert release included in T40.
Imo Victory deserves its own anniversary release, including the release of its title-given song & concert dvd (or bd if possible).
Any kind of release would be awesome imo. I just like the idea of packaging concerts from the same era. If wembley was in HD I would give Bad25 a 10/10 honestly. Victory Tour was the biggest selling tour at the time. Had the best tech (lighting, stage etc). I still consider it to be the Thriller era because this was the first time he performed/promoted thriller era tracks besides Motown25. Dont think it would be a waste at all to include it.
will only happen if you pay 100.000/month to the jacksons
I agree. It angers me that the Estate only focuses on Thriller, last year was MJ's 50th career anniversary and we could've gotten a bigger project with demos from all eras, but to the Estate it's like Bad and Thriller are the only albums Michael has ever created...
A lot of the content on visions and the HIStory on Film DVDs are laserdisc or broadcast tape sourced. I'd call a lot of the films on there sub DVD quality IMO.
Do we know that Prince is on board or we are just guessing? I think if Prince was involved we would have heard about that from some official channel because that would be huge!
), so I don't have 10 years of history of disappointments, but still, given the amount of stuff Estate had to deal with post LN, I think we should give them a chance. They have started well, the announcements, the press, promised a series of releases. Logo, ok it sucks, probably done by some intern. In the end Estate is a business, they would do whatever maximizes profit. They are going about this from head and we are going about this from heart. Let's hope there is good overlap between the two.I really would like Hot Street to be officially released, getting to hear that in proper quality, mixed from the masters, would be cool.
Completely agreed - one of the hottest unreleased songs imo. I think it wouldn't take much to update it and re-release, a la Silk Sonic/Pharrell's old school type of release we see today.
Interesting read about branding of Thriller. Maybe 6 months from now I will be changing my views on MJE, who knows. I am still finding it hard to believe that the Estate of THE biggest pop star in the world is managed by incompetent people, that is so opposite to what Michael lived by - excellence and perfection. Perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part that something awesome is coming. Now I am sad 😢
My ideal setlist would also include The Toy and MJ Melody, even if MJ Melody isn't a proper song it's still something I would like to hear.
