I don't think so he's talking about the chair performance. I haven't listened to this interview here but he talks about this in another online interview. A discussion ensued in the comments. Someone who knew someone who had - so it was claimed - attended every single gig on the tour confirmed that RTT was never performed at a show. The conclusion was that Eddie was remembering a full-on rehearsal but that an actual performance never took place.Maybe he was thinking about the 'in chair' performance in US. Don't know if he was there. I have never heard of RTT live in Germany, but if it exists, I NEED to see it!!
he made a good point about the fact that michael put so much money on that number and everyone rehearsed it for hours and it was long and very difficult that he must have performed it at least once, which makes alot of sense.I don't think so he's talking about the chair performance.

Whether that counts as definitive proof is anybody's guess.
Interesting.he made a good point about the fact that michael put so much money on that number and everyone rehearsed it for hours and it was long and very difficult that he must have performed it at least once, which makes alot of sense.
he also said another dancer remembered performing it on the tour once as well
someone should grill him HARD lolInteresting.
Otoh, if another dancer remembers a performance of RTT, that's significant. It supports Eddie's claim that they did perform it. I listened to the relevant bit and it was interesting cos Eddie says people keep telling him the song was never performed at a show but he insists he still has a memory of that happening.
Otoh, it does seem weird that there is no evidence, either photos, film footage or even just anecdotes from fans who were there. That would be a LOT of people who would have seen it.
It's such a mystery.
You missed the fact that he travels around as a column of sand. The guy clearly has the ability to transcend any and all historical / physical / technological limitations.Grilling him is not going to change the fact that we missed out on an amazing performance, twice!!
Though I love the song, but there is something totally wrong about it

Back to the "Just Good Friend" performance with Steve being only a guest appearence on Bad lol.I really do not think RTT was ever performed live during the Dangerous Tour in front of an audience.
Maybe a dress rehearsal just before the tour started, but had MJ ever performed the song live we would know for sure. - Some german fans would remember surely and write about it, reviews of the concerts would probably mention the performance - or sometimes reviews have a set-list of the songs performed.
I am very sure RTT was onlt performed once - at an awardshow with MJ having an injury and sat in a wheelchair.
But God almighty I hope I'm wrong. Imagine seeing a full live performance of RTT from the Dangerous Tour - maybe even sung live... Would be incredible.
It wasn't a wheelchair, it was an ordinary chair. He used a wheelchair when receiving some of the awards, but not for the performanceI am very sure RTT was onlt performed once - at an awardshow with MJ having an injury and sat in a wheelchair.
Correct - my bad.It wasn't a wheelchair, it was an ordinary chair. He used a wheelchair when receiving some of the awards, but not for the performance
well, Triumph and Dangerous are not the same, completely different era. There is so much more footage available for Dangerous, both official and amateur. I doubt anything so big as RTT live is still unknown about Dangerous.I doubt RTT was performed at the Dangerous tour. If it was, we surely would have had some footage of it by now.
But having said that, Walk Right Now was performed at the Triumph tour, and there is no footage available, so I guess there is hope that RTT was performed at the Dangerous tour.
We need Sherlock Holmes! Or somebody, lol. This mystery is so intriguing.Resurrecting this thread.
I’ve been at Kingvention 2022 today and Kevin Dorsey, Michaels vocal director on tour also said that Remember the Time was performed!
He also said so was Can’t Let Get Away and In The Closet.
Kevin went into detail too about the costumes masks and headdresses.
So two people either have the wrong shard memory on things or it did happen!
My guess though there is some confusion and I think it’s a conflation of rehearsal, instrumental interludes on tour and the Soul Train performance but I want to be proved wrong!

There is no mystery about that.We need Sherlock Holmes! Or somebody, lol. This mystery is so intriguing.
What was Kingvention like? Was Kevin good to listen to? I've heard interviews with him and I really enjoyed listening to him.
He was really good as was Bill Bottrell and Lavelle Smith Jr. lots of great memories, stories and particularly from Lavelle, gossip. But that has to remain privateWe need Sherlock Holmes! Or somebody, lol. This mystery is so intriguing.

I usually never speak on you but this.... bruh where tf do you get this delusional a$$ unfactual unreliable sources from? Too risky? To dance??? Idk what to say about you sometimes. I usually never don't because it's entertaining but this 1 disturbed tf out of me because as a tribute artist & as many times as I did it.... this is just mind blowing to even readAlso, it has been said that Michael Jackson feared that his dance routines were too risky for potential ankle twisting, which would lead to future cancellations of concerts of that tour.
Don't wanna derail the thread but just wanted to say, Bill Bottrell is the one I'd want to listen to. More than anyone else Michael worked with, more than Brad Buxer, even.He was really good as was Bill Bottrell and Lavelle Smith Jr. lots of great memories, stories and particularly from Lavelle, gossip. But that has to remain private
