Michael Jackson Live at Wembley - July 16, 1988
$9.99

Description

Even though Bad was Michael Jackson's third solo album – following Off The Wall and Thriller (the biggest selling album in history) – this album showed Michael taking full charge of his career as a recording artist and embarking on his first solo tour, in September 1987. The tour began at Korakuen Stadium in Tokyo, Japan and ended at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in January 1989, after making its way through Asia, Europe, Australia and North America. The tour earned Michael three Guinness records. It set attendance records at stadiums around the world. Because it was his first solo tour, Michael had the freedom to create his own vision without the pressure of having to compete with what he had done before. It was a magical time for Michael-- and his newfound freedom may have made it his most enjoyable concert tour ever. When we began to think about the concert, we didn’t know what we would find in the archives. But it was clear that Michael’s desire for perfection didn’t end in the recording studio. To ensure each concert performance was the best it could be, he would record the live feed projected on the large screens to review and tweak his performance between tour dates. One tape turned out to be from July 16, 1988 - one of seven sold-out shows he performed at Wembley Stadium in London, England, attended by Prince Charles, Princess Diana and 72,000 fans. The audio from that show was also captured on multi-track, making it the perfect choice for creating this feature with 5.1 audio mixes. While the restored footage remains pre-HD, 1988 videotape quality footage, it provides a unique and intimate viewing experience – seeing the concert as those inside Wembley Stadium saw it that night. This remarkable and historic tape puts viewers inside the stadium for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the magic of Michael Jackson in concert.
