So, how many songs do we know of from the Thriller sessions? According to Quincy, about thirty songs were recorded with only nine making it in. Which ones do you guys know of (besides Carousel, Hot Street, Nite Line, and any other tracks that have leaked)?
 
John Barnes worked on 'Buffalo Bill' since the song's conception until its final stages.

"It's great but we did not finish it completely, I love it and I'd like to help finish it, it's a discarded Victory [song] and it was considered for inclusion in Bad, It was one of the first complete song I did for and with Michael" (John Barnes)

Matt Forger also worked on this song.

In any case, 'Buffalo Bill' is not going to be on the 'Thriller 40' album simply because it was not meant for the 'Thriller' album.
 
looking forward to the unreleased tracks as I search for them everyday on YouTube but its rare to find anything I haven't heard in a while but I would much prefer a HIStory in the making triple CD boxset full of gems!

Fans believe that the HIStory Tour does not portray Michael Jackson (as a performer) in a favourable light, because of the extensive use of lip-syncing.

Aside from a belief between the fans,that also seems to be the truth because:
1. As you said,extensive use of lip-synching brings nothing but shame to the public image of the said perfomer. The more famous the artist is,the worse the case gets/could get. And rightfully so. I don't pay big money just to hear some old, CD album version vocals I could have easily listened to at home. No reason for anybody else to do so either. I can buy a poster and stare at Michael's picture and put the Bad CD in the background...and that way I get the "History Tour Experience ".Michael didn't even bother to,at least, pre-record his vocals before the show or in 96/97 actually...it's horrible.
2. While the show is mostly lip-synched,there are some,VERY FEW live moments in each show and for a lot of the shows those live vocals are simply horrible :Seoul 96(first night), Auckland 96(check the WBSS performance ), of course Munich 97, Tunis 96(again check the WBSS performance). Simply abysmal. (tho there are some great vocal moments even during this tour,ironically enough,for example the ad-libs in Beat it,during the second show in Seoul)
3. Not only his vocals (or more like the lack of them) are a big issue here,but during the History Tour also Michael's energy is ,during several shows,at the lowest point that it could be or that we had ever seen from him. Examples:Helsinki 97,Copenhagen 97,Seoul 96,Johannesburg 97 ,Copenhagen 97 Birthday Show. Of course there are energetic shows too there,but still. Still.
So of course the History Tour should never be released. It's by all means(energy wise,vocal quality wise,what's being lip-synched vs what's being sung live wise) Michael's worst ever tour. Just because he was smooth in his dancing here and there and just because this band happened to be maybe his best band,in the end it doesn’t really mean anything at all (after all Michael wasn’t playing in that band ,it was a selection of A class musicians,and we can thank Brad for the band sounding so good).
So yeah...

Needs finishing touches but I bet it has to be pretty complete based on the info we have.

Not meant for Thriller but the Estate did mention "Thriller era" tracks, so one can wish.

Buffalo Bill is for sure a possibility considering they did say thriller era songs. I would love to hear this
