5 out of 5 stars Important peice of Michael Jackson History!   July 14, 2009

This is a great DVD! The person who said this was a hand filmed bootleg was totally wrong. It's obvious that this was professionally filmed from multiple cameras.

Sure the quality isn't the best, but for crying out loud, it's $ 7.49 people!
Some folks simply don't understand what it means to a true fan to see a concert from an artist they love when they were performing at their peak. The year was 1985 and Michael was totally unstoppable.

For the cost of a Burger King meal you can own an important concert from a historical and musical perspective, and one that I consider a "Must Have" for the true Michael Jackson fan.




5 out of 5 stars Bad tour!!!   July 24, 2009

This is a great DVD from the 1987 bad tour live in japan. This is NOT from 1985 as the description says.

This is actually a Great quality bootleg from a Japanese performance from the 1987 tour.It was one of the earlier shows from the tour hence some if not most of the same setlist as the victory tour a few years before.

The picture quality is a little dark (its from the 80's) but i would definitely rate this DVD higher than the OVERRATED bucharest dvd.Lots of shots of michael and the band with multiple camera views.

Audio Quality is very crisp and clear.Don't expect the most current up to date 5.1 dolby digital sound or DTS. This is a VERY good stereo sound which sounds GREAT.


If you are a MJ fan PLEASE do yourself a favor and buy this DVD of michael in his prime in terms of life perfomance.

If only there was an official or high quality bootleg floating around of a later bad tour to compare setlists and quality of the show. (Later Bad tour setlists contained more songs from the Bad album)



5 out of 5 stars IT IS AMAZING TO SEE MICHAEL LIVE IN 1987   July 12, 2009
Music Fan (Los Angeles, CA)

I looked forward with great anticipation to watching this DVD. It turned out that this was Michael Jackson at the top of his game. The concert was recorded by a television network in Yokohoma, Japan in 1987. Although concert footage was not the same nearly 25 years ago as it is today, this DVD sounds great and Michael and his band are truly in top form. Especially enjoyable was "Beat It", "Thriller" and the incredible and touching duet he does with then virtually unknown back-up singer Sheryl Crow on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". At the price of less than $10, this is the best deal on a greatest hits collection available today. Buy it, watch it, enjoy this cool piece of Michael's recorded legacy.


5 out of 5 stars MJ Having Fun In Concert - The "Bad" Tour   July 26, 2009

Some reviewer said the quality of the DVD was not good BUT mine is very good! It's not HD but it's great for a tour captured on film around 1985. It appears to me to be a Japanese TV shoot with all angles from the audience to the stage itself. Close-ups of MJ putting heart and soul (as in "She's Out of My Life")into his performances make this a wonderful piece of MJ concert history. Remember this was the BAD tour, it has some songs not in later tours, like "Heartbreak Hotel", love it! This Bad concert is not as complicated or extravegant as the Dangerous or History concerts. Dangerous is probably the greatest concert ever conceived. But this Bad concert is more intimate and the duet with Cheryl Crow near the end is worth the low price of the DVD by itself!

IN MY OPINION THE "DANGEROUS" CONCERT WAS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST FILMED CONCERT***EVER***...THIS IS THE "BAD" TOUR...NOT FILMED WELL AND THE SOUND IS NOT GREAT BUT ITS THE EVOLUTION OF THE DANGEROUS TOUR...AND A MUST HAVE FOR ANY MICHAEL JACKSON FAN...SONG SELECTION ON THIS DVD IS GREAT, STAGING, PERFORMANCE, SINGING AND DANCING IS NATURALLY GREAT...MICHAEL USED BETTER VISUALS, MUSICIANS AND SINGERS ON THE DANGEROUS TOUR (ESPECIALLY MUSICAL DIRECTOR GREG PHILLINGANES WHOS ARRANGEMENTS ARE PHENOMENAL AND SIEDAH GARRETT AS BACKGROUND AND LEAD SINGER) THE DANGEROUS TOUR WAS A LARGER THAN LIFE FILMED PRODUCTION BUT TO SEE THE EVOLUTION AND THE CHANGE THAT TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE TWO TOURS IS INCREDIBLY INTERESTING...THIS DVD SHOULD BE REMASTERED (SOUND AND VIDEO QUALITY)...THIS DVD IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY MJ FAN..I ESPECIALLY LIKED A GREAT VERSION OF HEARTBREAK HOTEL...***BE AWARE THE VIDEO AND AUDIO ARE NOT GOOD****
