yes, they did, timmy. when mj was alive, who was going to cue up to see these guys? they tout the fact that they were on the successful victory tour. yeah, whatever. that tour is noted for two things: one, the blatant greed on display in the wake of mj's astronomical success, and two, the fact that most, MOST, MOST people who attended those concerts were going to see mj, NOT the jacksons.

i guess there may be some interest; we'll see when the tix go on sale.

I hope there is too, for the sake of them.

interesting.I wonder if this tour will be a success.

In any case,it looks like the brothers have finally realized that,if they wanna make money,they actually have to go out there and work for it.Such a shame that it took them 22 years to realize that

I wonder if they'll come to Canada

@ people bashing people for their opinion. I havent read any disrespectful comments or comments that come close to putting any Jackson down in this thread but I guess orgers will be orgers

I hope for the best for their tour to but I also know that its not going to be as successful without Michael and even Randy. Since they have the obvious void of Michael not being there, they should at least have ALL the brothers there touring (no Randy) . That in no way puts them down but it is a DRAGISTIC difference when members of a group are not there especially Michael who was the lead singer and heart of the group. I think its perfectly reasonable to point that fact out.

There is NO getting around that fact.

Im sure some people will go see the tour regardless but to others that is going to be a major problem and cause of less interest.

ALL groups have gone through this; TLC, Queen, RUN DMC.... its just not the same without all the original members for alot of people but then again some dont care. Thats why alot of the groups just stop touring all together or even making albums when they loose a member because they understand it wouldnt be the same. I think they should have not waited this long to do a reunion tour.

Depending on the ticket prices I wouldnt mine seeing them.

I thought when they tried to tour the year Michael passed away I was completely turned off by that because it was obvious they were just trying to cash in on Michaels passing. Thats why I always look at the Jacksons sideways. Very talented family but they always do stupid ass money hunger shit and they definily showed their true colors when Michael passed.

Jacksons reunite for the Unity Tour 2012 in DC July 3 at Constitution Hall

Adored by millions of fans the world over, the Jacksons forever changed the landscape of popular music. When siblings Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Tito Jackson rose to fame with their late brother Michael in the 1970s, they instantly became an unstoppable global sensation. The Jacksons' unique brand of soulful pop-funk, their lengthy catalogue of hits, and their impeccable live performances have made them one of the most beloved musical acts of all time.

They return to D.C. July 3 at DAR Constitution Hall with tickets going on sale April 6 at LiveNation.com and

someone made a good setlist if this tour comes to fruitation

1 – Can You Feel It
2 - Body
3 – Things I Do For You
4 - Lovely One
5 – Even Though You’re Gone
6 – Heartbreak Hotel
7 – Nothin’ (That Compares 2 U)
8 – I Want You Back/ ABC/ The Love You Save
9 – Goin’ Places
10 – Wait
11 – Art Of Madness
12 – One More Chance
13 – Let’s Get Serious
14 – Dynamite
15 – Don’t Take It Personal
16 – Torture
17 – Blame It On The Boogie
18 – 2300 Jackson Street
19 – If You’d Only Believe
20 – Shake Your Body

I think it's cool especially for Jermaine. He has a body of work. Get out there

and tour instead of waiting for a check to fall in your lap. Artists with less hits

than Jermaine are out there working. I think it's pointless to keep saying

that MJ was the meal ticket. We already know that but there are others who

appreciate the talent of some of the other Jacksons even if some of you don't.

I'll see what happens before judging.

And of course they aren't going to sell out huge arenas. It would be ridiculous

to compare them doing that to their success with Michael. It's cool to perform

at smaller venues and make money.

I Want You Back/ ABC/ The Love You Save

I think they should do something else like I Am Love, Mama's Pearl, or Daddy's Home.
That ABC medley is not the only songs (or hits) the J5 have. It would be nice if they performed some show tunes like they did on TV in the 1970's.

Even Rebbie performs in Vegas and Japan. If she can draw enough of an audience to do overseas concerts, then why not her brothers?

this tour may just suprise us

All these negative and sarcastic comments are not necessary. If you don't like them, then don't go. People just have to put others down for no reason.

No. A 'reunion' tour? Really? Who's going? Without Michael? I'll pass.

Most of which I don't want to pay to hear live if it isn't Michael.

I'd go.

Where is Randy?

I doubt they do that many songs from 2300 Jackson Street, if any.

Even Though You're Gone, that was a Mike track that I don't even know if they did on tour when it was released.

My track list would look like this.

-Can You Feel It

-Lovely One

-Things I Do For You

-Do What You Do

-Jackson 5 Medly [I Want You Back/ABC/The Love You Save]

-I'll Be There

-Tito [Blue's numbers]

-Daddy's Home

-You Like Me Don't You

-Let's Get Serious

-Blame It On The Boogie

-Dancing Machine

-Don't Take It Personal

-Never Can Say Goodbye [Michael Tribute]

-Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)

Not sure is Marlon and Jackie will get any solo spots. I think Tito will do his blues set, he's been performing for well over a decade now. Marlon might do a Body/Don't Go medley and Jackie, Stay I guess. I'm not even sure if Jackie ever prformed any tracks from his solo material?

well at least they knew to play that small ass theater downtown and not the Toyota Center lol

Yeah they probably get a good 1,000, whatever how many go there... that's probably what the tour would be, a theater tour. That's alright by me.

I'll get you some tickets young lady.

Have the Jacksons ever toured without Michael before? I know they did an album in the late 80s without him,but did they play any dates?

Good for them

Why though? All the remaining brothers should at least be in it.

No.

The soul of the group is gone. It just wouldn't be the same.

Why couldn't they have done something when Michael was alive? And not just a one time deal like the 30th Anniversary Show??

I'm sorry but out of respect for Michael, I wouldn't pay to see that show unless Janet was singing lead for them (I'd accept that). They're the Jackson 5, not the Jackson 4.

Either health issues or problems with his brothers, mainly Jermaine. Just assumptions. They can't go on as "The Jackson 5" anyway, they went on as four before.
