What if Michael had done a Motown only concert. What would be your ideal setlist?

Euphoria of course lol

It was way before Off The Wall, they were still the Jackson 5.
I don't know if this source is fully reliable but it sounds plausible. it happened 2 December 1972

The Jackson 5 Setlist at Baltimore Civic Center, Baltimore

Get the The Jackson 5 Setlist of the concert at Baltimore Civic Center, Baltimore, MD, USA on December 2, 1972 from the Lookin' Through the Windows World Tour and other The Jackson 5 Setlists for free on setlist.fm!

www.setlist.fm

Also note that the Medley was different here with I Want You Back/ABC/ Mama's Pearl

yup you’re right it was ‘euphoria’

if that set list is true, I think it’s amazing that there was a tour named after my favourite j5 song ‘looking through the windows’it says it’s a worldwide one as wellI think 1972 was their peak internationally. there has to be some footage somewhere.

Yeah I’m not sure the tour was called LTTW. Eitherthe info I have is wrong or the page I linked you to is wrong.
The Jackson 5 did a world tour from 1973 to 1975 performing in all continents but Europe. They did however did a European tour the year before that in 1972.

I’m not sure how realistic the following is but apparently they performed in Senegal for a crowd of 100 000. Also Motown wasn’t able to follow demand for J5 record sales 8n the Philippines.

In 1972 they also performed in my country Belgium but there is literally no info of that in existence. Even after Michael’s passing no newspaper mentioned it, all they said was he performed 3 times in Belgium with the Bad, Dangerous and HiStory tours.

EDIT:

This is the correct date and setlist for the Christmas show

I wonder why they would have the walk on last instead of first? did you know that the group as well as susanne de passe, were credited with writing ‘walk on’?

‘give love on christmas day’ is another favourite of mine where michael takes lead

the senegal show was widely reported. I believe there is an article on this site from either 1973 or ‘74.

it makes sense that the above set list was for a christmas show given its shorter length. then again, I believe that some of the other j5/jacksons shows were equally short

I don't doubt that they did some Christmas songs during their Christmas shows. However, I am extremely dubious about the set list above.

(1) Where are the regular hits? It would have been a show with half normal songs and half Christmas
(2) Seeing "christmas Message from Jackie" makes me think somebody just blindly copied songs from the tracklist of the album. They didn't know that this isn't actually a song.
(3) Same thing with "Give Love on Christmas Day (A Capella Version". Why label it as such unless you just copy/pasted from the CD?
