Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration (2001) | With Commercials

Published 2021-12-12
The shows sold out in 2 hours. Ticket prices were among the most expensive ever for an event; the best seats cost $10,000 and included a dinner with Jackson and a signed poster. The show was choreographed by Glenn Douglas Packard and Brian Thomas, who were nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography. It was presented by David Gest, World Events LLC, and Clear Channel Entertainment. Jackson reportedly earned $7.5 million for each of the two concerts. The concert's official box-office taking was $10,072,105 for both concerts.
To some fans, Jackson appeared more disoriented in the first concert, as he only did one short moonwalk and improvised the ending of the "Billie Jean" performance. In 2011, presenter David Gest claimed that Jackson was on drugs during the concerts in the documentary Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon; however, Jackson himself explained that he merely had not rehearsed for the first concert. Contradictorily, in his book You Are Not Alone: Michael Through a Brother's Eyes, brother Jermaine Jackson said that during this time Michael was taking Demerol, a pain-relieving medicine with psychotropic effects. The show attracted numerous celebrities, including basketball players, actors, and other musicians. The two concerts were the only times Jackson performed any song from from his album "Invincible" live. - Wikipedia

He did a lot of hospital visits, and orphanages just as much as he did his concerts! Those he helped abused & tortured him & assassin his image! Even in his last will 20% of his wealth got donated to charities! His music is full of messages if they can follow! The US media tried to ruin their own national treasure by calling him names! I love this man, he was the humble one despite of success! Your music & creative dance moves lives MJ even your unique fashion sense! You are indeed a gifted creation! King of Music! True Philanthropist! From 5-50 years old you’ve been performing to people! He gave it all! People abuse your money, talent & kindness! Those who tried to ruin you using your LOVE for children never succeeded! I will never judge you MJ coz I'm a human being, too! Blessed your soul! I thank God in Heaven for creating such a masterpiece Michael Jackson! Rest in Peace MJ!

I wonder if there will be anyone else watching Michael Jackson's videos in 2022? Well here I am. Here in Mexico City on March 30, 2020 watching, enjoying and of course missing that extraordinary artist and beautiful human being that Michael Jackson was. And the more I see and hear him, the more I admire it. Michael in my opinion was not only The King of pop, rock and soul. He was also an extraordinary humanist , activist and a extremely sensitive men. I think Michael had more than one mission in his life and he fulfilled them all. My only regret is that she didn't have more time to see her children grow up. Honestly, both in life and after his death, Michael did make a better world to me.

He loves his Mother so much. The way he goes to her and kisses her cheek when the presenter said Michael was born. Such a beautiful soul

Watching this in May 2023.. 13 years later, he’s still very much alive in his music and in our hearts.❤

It's Sunday Feb 19th 2023 and I'm re-watching this 30th Anniversary of the Legend Michael Jackson on YouTube. Will always love you Michael; gone but will NEVER be forgotten 💔

There will never be another entertainer and dancer better than him
-
Dude was in mid 40’s performing like he was in his 20’s!!!

I'm from NYC and will NEVER forget watching this on TV on September 10. ALL the kids were talking about it school the morning. I had just started 7th grade. Unfortunately 9/11 happened a few hours later and I went to school in downtown Manhattan. Sad times and a crazy day but still magical whenever MJ was around.
-
When MJ puts the glove on you know it's about to go down! Best entertainer ever
-
His moves still totally blow me away, there will never be anyone like him again ♥
-
I'm so glad his art and music was appreciated when he was alive.
-
I've been a Jackson fan since the beginning. I have their first single Big boy. Also, 26 albums including all Michael's solo albums. Rest Forever Michael
