Thriller 40th Anniversary

an early cut of Munich Billie Jean was leaked a few months ago, it looks amazing, like a whole new concert imo.

im excited for it, as it will come out at some point.
I think something like that in good quality would be really enjoyable as a full show. I know we have critics, but it could be great. A straight release of the Munich we’ve had for 25+ years would suck, but that would be very very cool.

Yeah if its edited differently and not just a copy paste of the one we have I wouldn't mind as much. That HD victory tour film should be released first though.
 
Broken record here, but I still think any HIStory Tour release is a terrible idea. Zero reason to ever acknowledge it. Just because it’s in good quality doesn’t mean something so beneath MJ’s pedigree deserves a release.
Agreed. Pretty sure Branca said the exact same thing when asked so pretty weird that they considered releasing it.

Where is this? You're saying there was a leak of the Estates remastering of Munichs billie jean? I think your talking about the fan ai upscales
 
I dont see real 4k even not full hd, seems like sd upscale
Ok, first video (some re-upload) i watched had realy bad bitrate and was botchered with more sd content from older tv broadcasts, even audio mixed with live mic. recording..not realy reference one.

Than i found probably untouched one, and ok, except some angels in sd, looks like hd, but stikl not sure it was recorded back in 1997 in 1080p, i think 720 was possible in those days.
 
Did you know ABBA is releasing HD performances through YouTube?



Meanwhile our Estate: hmm yes yes interesting but lemme give u smth better and never seen yes......MUNICH 1997!!!! or perhaps YoU PrEfFeR YoK0HaMa 87?!!! Yes yes in DVD format they have best audio yes... other unusable :((( we can not release on Youtube bc.... hm we lazy yes.
 
Anyway, I wonder what changes the documentary will undergo before its release. Ideally they’d include the full session for “The Girl Is Mine,” similar to how Spike used the complete performance of “Another Part of Me” in the B25 doc. The ratio of “session footage that exists” to “session footage we’ve received” is criminal.

MJ did over 100 Bad tour concerts yet we only have 1 full pro concert that was released over 10 years ago, it all makes me so sad.
 
Which is why we need that Victory tour film. Knowing the estate, they probably just found/digitized it. If this is true then I'm holding out hope they found the "lost" bad tour film. Even if they did, I doubt they would they even tell us lol.
Thriller doc should be good though.

That'd be worth watching the documentary wouldn't it

I’m still excited, but I’m very aware that it will likely cover the same beats and stories that diehard fans have all heard (as well it should). I’m not expecting anything revolutionary for us, but I’m hoping for a respectful and well-produced documentary for the best-selling album of all time.
 
in my opinion i think they will go for releasing munich first as its the most likely the safest bet for a live show for the general public. it has all the big hits from the later years (smooth criminal, TWYMMF, black or white, earth song) that people know more then the jacksons hits (Things i do for you, Jermaine's songs, Lovely one) on the victory tour.

if munich does release and does do well, i'd say a Victory show wouldnt be far off.
 
I’m here for the studio footage as well. Not that a documentary isn’t interesting, but it’s hard when I’m sure we’ve heard all there is to hear.
