However, unfortunately he’s not still in charge so what the Estate have vs what Taj had could be two vastly different things.
That's interesting.."I was in charge of his storage. I was one of the few people he trusted in life to have his whole storage in my name." - Taj Jackson.

"we dont have releasable audio other than wembley" so Unless they find July 15 or mix a bunch of tapes together and dub it theres no chance. FAQ killed this for me. Either find the film or else.HappyLeeHL;4304066 said:It's not pointless. We're not fully informed yet.
The reason I said we shouldn't ask for Bad Tour 4K release is that it could easily fail if the Estate said "we can't find the film reels". Not surprisingly, they did, but it was mentioned briefly under the question "WILL THE ESTATE UPGRADE MICHAEL’S SHORT FILMS TO 4K?".
Remember, we didn't ask pacifically for 4K. We asked for a film or HD release. Even if the Estate truly don't have full Bad Tour film edited for release, they still have various ways to satisfy our wish, like a mixed film montage of Bad Tour (they still haven't told us how much Bad Tour material they have, so we still have to guess. I'm guessing it can't be only two songs), or a remastered Bad Tour Beta tape release (not real HD, but pretty HD compared to Wembley DVD):
We shouldn't give up just because an FAQ that didn't directly respond to what we ask. We need to continue push for a better Bad Tour release.

Rome and Tokyo are "Front of House" mixes and not releasable according to them. If they did release another bad tour that would be great but I'm no longer as optimistic. Bad tour LA they have in HQ but we don't know in what audio quality. They said in 2012 they could of gave us an edited concert. At this point I wouldn't mind. They need to keep digging for the film masters. Taj, Frank, PKelly, Pecci etc. Taj said Mjs trusted him with his own archives, Frank was manager and might have it in his storage or kept record, PKelly and Pecci worked on filming the tour.Then how come so many news stations got editorial tapes with good enough/excellent audio?? That audio came from the just recorded U-matic I really think the estate just popped in an early 88 tape-or something, and became scared of the audio.. (just think of Rome or Tokyo.. they have issues, but things can be done). We already know the estate puts almost no energy in forming a footage-catalogue, so I`m pretty sure only a few tapes were actually played and they didn`t find it interesting. We`re talking big money guys here, so they`ll just easily focus on something else if there`s too much investing involved.
I call it BS. If they find ?this? releasable, what's not releasable?Rome and Tokyo are "Front of House" mixes and not releasable according to them.

Who knows? He traveled with Mike quite a lot in the 80s, like during the Bad World Tour, so maybe he has some tapes of his own.At this point I have more faith in Bubbles releasing BAD Tour 88 on Blu Ray

I watched the Wembley DVD few days ago again. The concert is amazing but I hope we get a better quality Bad Tour concert at some point. It doesn't even need to be HD.
