hello everyone I have never been fortunate enough to have evr seen Micheal Jackson in concert but i have seen live shows and clips of his concerts and they were absolutely AmaZinG! Micheal is just superb live and his dancing skills are umatched,even to this day, no one can dance(or sing) like Mj. but i just wanted to know if any of u have evr seen him in concert? what was it like? what songs did he sing? what Micheal era was it in? i always see clips of peole fainting and passing out and stuff could any of u say if u've evr seen that happen? I think if i evr saw micheal in Concert i would weep for pure joy, to see one of idols perform

I saw the Bad Concert Tour in 1989... it was probably one of the best concerts I'd seen... the visuals, the performance... mmm, mmm, mmm.

I hear he's being courted by Trump to headline his new casino in Las Vegas when this court case is over... they're offering him like, 88 Million a year to do so...

I'd go see him again... maybe he'd recapture some of that concert magic.

never seen him live either but the clips are amazing. i heard he is planning a new tour with the rest of the jacksons that he plans to kick off if he doesnt go tho the big house cuz we all know he needs the money, there arent to many monkeys left to sell at Neverland...

missed the bad show at msg and the 30th...I would die to see him again...those shows seem way better on tape...much to young when I saw them.

I always wish I had seen the Jacksons Victory Tour but couldn't get tickets. Instead I saw the Bad, HIStory and 30th Anniversary shows. Wouldn't mind seeing him again especially if he had a whole different production.

I saw the Dangerour Tour when he came to play here in Turkey. Man it was the best concert I've ever seen. He did the biggest concert production ever made in Turkey. The highliht was the beat it performance, everyone just lost control at that one. Gave us more than we could handle.

MJ's 90s/new-millenium on-stage performances (on tour or elsewhere) would have been a lot more enjoyable if he didn't lip-synch and recycle routines so much. No one can touch him in the dancing department but visuals-wise he could have evolved to the likes of Madonna, Prince, and even his own lil' sis rather than using cheap pyrotechnics and gaudy, limited costumes all the time, and hard dancing is no excuse for so much miming because he danced plenty hard on the "Bad" tour as well and look how things turned out, anyway (in fact, the only 80s performance of his I have gripes about is the '88 Grammys.. there was so effin' excuse for that).

He's still my man, though (I give him a lot of heat for a lot of things but I love him; he's pretty much all I talk about here). I know, deep down in there somewhere, lies some of that old spark that could probably come alive again with just a little confidence, creativity, and a more easygoing time in his life (I hope he's acquitted of these charges and finally learns his lesson if he's innocent).

I was fortunate enough to see Michael Jackson on the HIStory tour here in Australia. It was breathtaking. He is a brilliant entertainer. His dancing and singing was awesome and the production was sensational. My highlight was when he performed Smooth Criminal.

I sincerly hope that he tours again when all this mumbo jumbo is over and done with as I would love to see him live again, and it would be great for others that havn't had the chance to be able to see him do what he does best!

I have seen him live in concert once (in the 90s) and it was not that great IMHO

Saw him in '92 in Stockholm. It was my first concert ever and it blew me away. I can't remember if he lip-synced, i guess so. To see him doing his moves was breathtaking. Well... somehow the magic has gone.

You guys love talking about MJ. You deny it, but everytime I come here there is always a couple MJ threads on page 1. And they are not created by people with MJ avatars

Anyway, MJ is planning tour called "Celebration". His brothers are going to be involved. Well, this was before he f'd up his back so I don't know if he's still doing it. He still has a few more months to go in his trial. I guess we will see how things pan out.

did you drive all the way to Oostende to that sunday, just to hear he wouldn't perform ?

History Tour at Wembley, London in 1996. it was amazing.

Victory tour at Dodger stadium.

History tour in Prague. I remember there were over 150 000 people and at one particular moment when his huge shadow is dancing I just looked away for a second and all those 150000 people just exhaled in awe and a chill ran down my spire and I asked "what happened?" and they said "oh, he just did moonwalk. But THAT was out of this world." Unbelievable. I was too far to see him real close, but still it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

I spent the night on the cold hard concrete parking floor outside the location just to hear he wouldn't perform. And don't even think about laughing

2 times in 1988 (Vienna and Linz)
1 time in 1992 (also Vienna) thanx to some good connections I didn't even pay for this, we sneaked in through the backdoor

i saw the jackson victory tour but i've never had the opportunity to see michael solo. guess i never will...

I know I have once when I was a child, I think they were still J5 then (not yet The Jacksons)...

Of course. Bad, Dangerous and HIStory tours. Bad was by far the best. 7 nights at Wembley Stadium (i went to 3 of them)

I've never seen him live
I would like too,I always thought I would never get to see Prince live but I did.
So maybe there's a chance

I saw him on the BAd tour - I was 13 at the time. All I remember about the concert is some disappearing act he did. I remember really liking the show.

History in Munich, 97. Altough, does staring at the backs of a few thousand people count?
