I love the play list. I like how rather than doing just usual I want you back / ABC they did stuff like Looking through the Windows and I Wannabe where you are. I wish MJ did more of this at his solo concerts.
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
This is supposedly a promo for the tour. Funny this promo surfaces after the tour is finished. Is a second leg of the tour going to be next?
As for the promo: as usual the brothers focus too much on the MJ segments even though the bulk of the setlist was J5/Jacksons material. There were also a Jermaine solo segment consisting of 3 songs but no mention of that of course.
EDIT: Here is a clip from the concert. Watch especially from 4.30 til the end when Jermaine ad libs and interact with the audience. One could almost think that the year is 1975 lol
They've still got it: The Jacksons show there is life without Michael as they continue to wow the crowds on their reunion tour

The Jacksons showed they still hadn't lost their magic touch as they thrilled fans at the Seaside Summer Concert Series in New York. The veteran pop stars dazzled with their disco moves during the free event in Coney Island, which will also see other music acts from yesteryear performing, including Gladys Knight and The Commodores. Jermain tried to outstage his brothers, wearing a black and silver figure hugging outfit, while Jackie, Tito and Marlon opted for a more casual look.
Blame it on the Boogie: The Jacksons showed off their disco moves at the Seaside Concert Series in New York They rolled out their big Jackson 5 hits during the show, which was the first Saturday event in the 34-year history of the concerts. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz had earlier raved: 'The Seaside Summer Concert Series is thrilled to bring the Jacksons to Coney Island for their inaugural performance in Brooklyn at a very special Saturday night show—the first in the long history of the concerts.

'The Jacksons’ music spans multiple generations and is known to even the most casual music fan, and we couldn’t be more excited than to have them perform for free at what will surely be one of the biggest nights ever on Coney Island.'
It's easy as ABC: Jermain, Jackie, Tito and Marlon show they haven't forgotten how to wow a crowd
Just like Michael: Jermain pulls off one of his late brother's signature moves And that have no plans to slow down - The Jacksons have already claimed that they plan to head back to the studio to record their first album in 25 years once they've finished their tour, which began in June. They will have just been happy to concentrate on their music folllowing the recent family dramas between his siblings and the children of his late brother Michael.
Rolling out the hits: The band played their classic The Jackson 5 hits at the free concert However, Jermain tried to smooth over their troubles at a California concert last month, telling fans: 'Sometimes people it seems to get complicated, sometimes because we are the same, but we don't think the same. Whatever happens and whatever has been said we are one, the Jackson family is one, we are one family.' And earlier this month a judge reinstated Katherine Jackson as the guardian of Michael's three children - ending weeks of in-fighting within the family about who should look after Blanket, Paris and Prince.
