Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration (2001) | With Commercials
2,042,240
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

It doesn't matter in which generation you're livin' or got born. The thing that really matters is you'll get obsessed by Michael Jackson. He's truly the greatest ever. What a legend!!!
-
The best part of the show is, that everybody was enjoying it, no mobile phones filming nothing, just people really cheering the moment in their memories.

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!

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

His moves still totally blow me away, there will never be anyone like him again ♥

You come to realize how good MJ was after hearing them sing his songs!

Nevermind the talent and insane level of showmanship, he was just an extraordinary human being. Seemed to get screwed at every turn in his life. Out of all the people in his life he maybe had 3 or 4 true friends that really cared for him as a person, not a commodity. Yet after wading all the darkness not one drop of it ever seeped into his heart or soul. So kind and such a deep love for humanity it almost made him seem naive, but he wasn't, he just kept faith that even the people that hurt him the most still had good in them and were probably just hurting too in their own way. RIP King!!!! ❤❤

Michael was able to pull out a heartfelt performance like that despite the side effects of pain medications, he's truly legendary.

There will never be another entertainer and dancer better than him

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.
