Yeah we wont release to the fans, but let's give it to Questlove so he can add it to his private collection. Or dump it in a library that costs like $100 to watch lol. Anything but an official Jacksons concert release.

Wait, you can watch the full Triumph tour concert in a library? Please do tell me more.

Also I have to say that the Triumph tour concert is 40+ years old at this point, yet all we have is half a concert in terrible quality! The greatest artist/entertainer ever deserves better than this! It's truly pathetic how the estate can sink this low! It's also sad how the brothers don't seem to care at all.

I am very intrigued by all of the footage! I would easily buy all of the footage separately if they sold it that way. Give me studio footage, concerts, behind the scenes EVERYTHING! Alas, I feel all we’ll get is maybe a combined 5 mins of unreleased footage and the remaining doc will be a bunch of artists blabbing about how influential Michael was… yes.. we know.. the WHOLE world knows! Give the die hard fans something for once!

Honestly, I'd say it's more than fair to release a Victory show under Michael's name. The man hired the filming crew and paid them out of his own money, most of the songs were his own and, let's face facts, it was basically a tour for Thriller and everybody bought tickets to see Michael.

That true. So basically if they were to release victory tour show or just songs, they could only release mjs solo songs? Honestly “Selections from the Victory Tour” released from the estate doesn’t sound bad, or is that a dumb release?

I think the same would apply even if they only used MJ's songs, seeing as it's a concert with the brothers?

I don't think so. Guess clearance would be needed under any circumstances as even though they were solo songs, it was a Jacksons tour.

Okay. Also how were they then able to use those clips in the doc?

Small snippets are always cleaner and easier to use than large segments.

Heres an interesting comment I just found though:

The Paramount connection goes ALL THE WAY back with CBS/Epic (now Sony). It actually makes a smoother business arrangement with license clearance. In essence it's all in house & allows this 40th to open the door to the 40th of the Victory tour (next yr). Chess moves

“The short film for “Thriller” was remastered last year and is now available in high definition 4K resolution to make your Halloween extra spooky with zombies and werewolves. It premiered almost 40 years ago, December 2nd 1983 on MTV. Watch it now:”

All the digital versions are true 4K. The compression used on the various players each of these services use is a different topic.
Grab the Apple Music version, it has little compression imo.
