Am I the only one who noticed this in the press release

Bad album has generated over 45 Million units in sales.

Yeah, someone should shove it in the face of Wikipedia :lol:

Yes, but it's not the 80s and 90s anymore

Buy the concert is from 80's. And the source is VHS tape. To each his or her own, but if the original source is 4x3, I don't want then to chop the picture just to fill my widescreen tv.

Scratch that. I am a happy camper today

Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

When a video that was originally shot in 4:3 plays in a widescreen 16:9 format it means the picture has been stretched so that it fills the screen on a widescreen tv, but it affects the aspect ratio.

I'm not wanting the picture stretched, i don't want mj short and dumpy, but tall and lean, and i don't want the top and bottom of the picture lopped off, so i'm good with the black bars.

True, and it'll probably make it worse if they try to correct it....Again, it's better than nothing

I'm happy too

Pinch me......is this real????

I feel numb........it's like the World has finally gone normal!!!!



But this feels bitter-sweet as Robin Gibb passed away today and it just reminds me of all the legends we have lost in recent years including our Michael!!!

Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

Well, DVD is better than nothing. But only VHS source exsists? I know you're joking.. Where are the masters!? I'm sure it should have been shot on film.

 

[Zakk]

If there would've been no mention about a concert release, everybody would've been pissed. If that's the best they have and if that's the best they can do, then so be it. Take it or leave it...

I know...it's like they're trying to cater to the fans' sentimentality by saying it was Michael's own personal VHS copy....lol....Could be true, who knows...just weird that it's the ONLY copy known to exist :scratch:

Still beyond happy

What's more likely is that the VHS source they are talking about is probably the only footage of the gig that the Estate/Sony has access and/or rights to.

Or perhaps it's the only copy of this particular performance. Maybe.

Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

Anybody know the setlist for the show that's being released? I know Dirty Diana was omitted out of respect for the Princess...

Majorly excited though

But I can't wait to watch that concert and put the VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP in my living room :dancin:

Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

Oh...I thought the story went that Michael chose not to perform it out of respect, then it turned out that it was Princess Di's favourite song! Pretty sure Michael told that story himself on that Private Home Movies show thingymabob.

Yeah, initially he didn't want to perform it but when Diana told him it's her favourite he put it back on the programme (and dropped TWYMMF instead).

Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

With regards to the live CD - the official website says a CD 'showcasing' the audio from the concert. Am I to assume it won't be the full concert? Would they be able to fit the whole gig on one CD? The runtime of a CD is 70 odd minutes?

Mike said that when he spoke to Diana before the show he told her he took it out of the setlist in respect for her. He didn't actually say that he didn't end up performing it though.

I've seen an old review of the 16th July gig and they mentioned Dirty Diana, and the Princess smiling when it was played.

Yes, but I'm sure they'd edit out lengthy audience applause etc, etc, after each song...I don't know....

MAKE IT FIT!! lol

Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

so Dirty Diana was performed so why isn't it on the DVD??

Nobody has said it isn't on the DVD. If it was performed that night (which it was) then it will be on there.
