BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For [General Discussion]

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

Right now... I am PROUD to be a Michael Jackson fan!! This is the reason i stayed up til midnight last night!!!

With the fiasco surrounding previous estate/sony projects, it is great to see Michael and his legacy being treated with the dignity, respect and on a scale that only he deserves!!!

I can't wait now that 2012 has finally begun!
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I can't wait to buy it, it's gonna cost a fortune but it'll be worthwhile! :yes:
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

Just read this i'm bouncing off the wall(No pun intended there) so happy I do hope TWYMMF is on the DVD but if not I can live with that September cannot get here quick enough
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

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).

I read that it was too late to put it back in when he found out about DD.

And why drop both? They were all in the other shows.

Anyway, I KNEW IT!!!!!!!
I KNEW that whenever they release a Bad Tour DVD, they would TOTALLY half-a$$ it!

All (or a very large amount) of his shows were professionally filmed (whether for prosperity, TV promotion, or archival purposes).
This "MJ's OWN PERSONAL VHS COPY" , whether its true or not, its beyond ridiculous.

I knew that if they ever released it, it would be one of the shows without the full setlist. And of course, Dirty Diana and/or The Way You Make Me Feel isn't going to be on there.

I really hope they edit in those songs in from another Wembley show, because you just know theres more footage around.
I'm sure there's a vault with countless hours of tape and audio from the tour...

To go through all of this BAD 25 re-relase, why feature a shorter show without 2 of the biggest hits from the album performed live??

Ugh... This is so exciting and frustrating at the same time!

And why no behind the scenes footage?

/venting complete, for now.

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

THE GREATEST NEWS TO COME HOME FROM WORK TO!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!!! Not only is the dvd concert going to be AMAZING, the whole box set looks incredible! I'm so proud to be a Michael Jackson fan! :D
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I still can't believe we are getting all of this. I am glad things will be the way Michael left it and nothing changed. The Spike Lee documentary will be separate then?
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

O.M.G!!!!!! YES!! :wild:

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I cannot contain my excitement.


What makes this extra special for me is that I was at this very concert that night!!!!!


You are lucky!!! Cherrish it forever! Maybe we can see you on the dvd in september :)
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I think I'm almost more excited for the demos than anything!
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I think I'm almost more excited for the demos than anything!

Hell yeah! I want to listen to the early versions of the songs off the album and various other demos/alt takes/unreleased songs... everything untouched baby!

Can't wait for that... :D

hours later the announcement I'm still like this

Yep Me too :tease:

Thank you MJ Estate and all who made this possible :bow:

Funny thing, my mum phoned to ask how my day had been and all I could talk about was BAD25 and the trip to London :clap:
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I'm a lot more excited for the unreleased songs than the Bad tour, I really hope there is more unreleased songs than there are remixes.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I hope so too... the less remixes, the better. Nobody wants them.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

OMG Finaly an official release! Waited so long for something like this to happen. Can't wait to buy it and watch it.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

It looks very promising, I was very happy when I saw the announcement. I particularly like the fact that they specify that the concert is unedited and that the demos and unreleased material on cd 2 are untouched - that's great. However, I am holding back uninhibited excitement until we get more information, e.g.:

-What's the tracklist of cd 2? The This Is It soundtrack also boasted an extra disc, yet they only added 4 tracks. The proportion of demos/unreleased material to remixes is also a factor.
-What will the video quality be? The footage of MJ in the trailer does not look that good. Given that Vision was also a disappointment quality wise, I am not sure what to expect. The whole story about this being the only copy of the concert in existence (which I find very hard to believe) also makes me wonder. I hope this is just a marketing ploy.
-What's the difference between cd 3 and the audio of the DVD? Are we basically just getting the dvd audio on cd as well?
-Do we get any extras on the dvd? Behind the scenes footage? Extra performances?

Nevertheless, it's great that we will finally be getting an 88 Bad Tour concert on dvd after all these years and it certainly looks promising!
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

I'm intrigued by the fact this video was 'recently unearthed' - have the estate spent these past few yrs hunting for it. Cdn't have been in the vault so where was it - in that airport hangar with mj's artwork? in tohme's bentley? bottom of latoya's closet?

I'm assuming if it's the film used on those big concert screens, it will just be the stage and so no crowd shots. I've always quite liked a sprinkling of those, all those girls fainting etc. And i'm suspecting mj did too judging by the sheer amount he had in the live videos he released.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

What a great news! I'm so exited about it and really really hope they're gonna release MJ and TT kiss as a bonus lol
It's great they finally decided don't touch an original MJ tapes, it makes me feel they had a good lesson after MICHAEL Album failed. Now we'll have Michael and only Michael, PURE Michael's voice!!!!!! Ohhh I love it!
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

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).

But in PHM, Michael himself said it was too close to show time to put it back. Why should he/has he dropped TWYMMF instead?

I totally agree! VISIONS was such a let down because of the video quality.

And it being the ONLY copy is totally a marketing ploy. All shows were filmed in some capacity. I find it hard to believe that a full show isn't around.

I had hoped it would look like MAN IN THE MIRROR from MOONWALKER quality, but I think that was seperatly shot on film for the purpose of putting it into the movie. (though, you'd think they would have filmed some shows on film for a future relase at the time).

I bet a fan edited copy of the Yokohama show will look better than this...

And no mentions of any extras. I'd love backstage stuff like from that Japan documentary from the first leg. Just seeing him with the band and dancers right before a show was really cool in that.



Sorry to be a Debbie Downer guys, but I've just been looking forward for this for so long and the DVD aspect of this just seems so incomplete.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

On the 16th July 1988, MJ performed TWYMMF and Dirty Diana.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

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...

No ones complaining. I'm very impressed by this. What I'm surprised about is that concert's only source is VHS which seems weird for a concert which importance is as July 16 had.

:lol: That would be something if they did release that kiss. But it took place at the MGS in NYC. Why the heck are there pictures, but footage?! I think they got rid of it....
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

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.

Yes, you have a point.
 
Re: Michael Jackson BAD25 - The Announcement We Have All Been Waiting For

from where do ya know michael performed these both songs on that date?

there could be other sources but Estate might not have access or rights to them.
