If they've "always been at the forefront of pop-culutre" why don't they (in conjunction with The Estate or Sony) give us The Chase series of Bad adverts in HD and throw them on wembley 88 as extras or do all The Jackson's/MJ's adverts as a blu-ray or something. Honestly those commercials are incredible and deserve to be restored and seen by "a whole new generation"!! Great that Ne-Yo and others are doing the concert.
 
They should TOTALLY be airing those old Pepsi commercials on TV!
 
yeah, i totally agree ;) would be nice to see them again in HD
 
I mean, they already have the Pepsi cans. Might as well air those. Even if it was just the one where he sings the Pepsi song in the tune of Bad.

Michael Jackson's 'Bad' to Be Honored at Pepsi/Billboard Concert Tonight at 8:45 PM ET
August 29, 2012 | By Andrew Hampp, New York
Pepsi will continue its year-long celebration of the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's Bad tonight (Aug. 29) at New York City's Gotham Hall with performances from Ne-Yo and Melanie Fiona (right) and a DJ set from Swizz Beatz, with additional tunes from DJ Cassidy. The concert will be streamed live on Pepsi.com and Twitter.com/Pepsi beginning at 8:45PM ET.

The event will mark the conclusion of Pepsi and Billboard's 2012 Summer Beats Concert Series, which also featured a performance by Katy Perry at the premiere of her movie "Part of Me 3-D," a Nashville concert with country trio Gloriana and, just last week, a special performance by Pepsi spokeswoman Nicki Minaj at New York's Roseland Ballroom.

In addition to celebrating the music of Bad, the Summer Beats Concert will also feature performances of the artists' current hits, including Ne-Yo's "Let's Go," a collaboration with Calvin Harris that was originally written as a European soccer anthem for Pepsi Max.

Earlier this year, Pepsi also celebrated the 25th anniversary of Bad with 1 billion limited-edition cans featuring Jackson's iconic silhouette, worldwide giveaways for special prizes like jackets inspired by the original BAD Tour and tickets to Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour and free downloads of custom remixes by dance producers like A-Trak.

^^ I take it that concert is on 8:45 PM in NY time, UK is 5 hours ahead, so 1:45 in the middle of the night for UK/Ireland:)

I would think they show it to everyone who will stay up :chillin:
 
Just found out about this. I'm a little upset, because I would have gone to see it live had I known about it prior to ten minutes ago.

Hopefully it's worth watching.
 
Okay is everyone seeing Michael's videos playing? Or am I on the wrong link?
