Having experienced BAD era as the most magical moment in my life, including going to the cinema to see MOONWALKER when it came out and discovering LEAVE ME ALONE and COME TOGETHER for the first time, I wanted -even more- so badly to see Michael at the concert tour.
When FINALLY, after months of spending days and nights in front of MTV (MTV NEWS) hoping to hear when the new album was going to come out, they announced the premiere of the video BLACK OR WHITE! I recorded that very first premiere. On that video there are no NAZI or KKK tags. They were added afterwards after the controversy of so called violent behavior.
I finally managed to get a ticket to see Michael on concert.
I came in front of the barriers at 8.00am and was waiting in the crowd till 5.00. (Luckily I had some sandwiches and water, otherwise you starve and dehydrate).
We forced the barriers before the H-Hour. The security threatened us and had to close the gates.
When they opened the gates, finally, we had to run as fast as our legs could bear the pain and our lungs breathe. We were exhausted after waiting a whole day under the hot July's sun.
When we finally took our place, still standing of course (very hurtful for the back, hips and legs), the security watered us and shared some pepsi drinks. People were litterally fainting. When I saw that on video before, I always thought they fainted because they saw Michael. But the cocnert still hadn't started yet some people were fainting. I understood that it was because of lack of air and too much heat.
Anyway we waited for some time, then all of sudden Kriss Korss jumped on the stage (for about one hour). After them Rosalla sang for over un hour (she was woed). And finally we got the chance to see Michael!!!!
Here is the best part,
I wanted to see him enter the stage, so I was looking left, right, left, right, i wanted to know where is he going to come from! Suddenly I heard the public screm so loud that my ears were hurting. I still couldn't see Michael! Yet there h was, in front of the stage!
Ithought to myself! WTF! How did he come there? That was magical! So, yes, shame on me, I missed the toast part of the concert
even though I was in the first row!!!!!! Arrrgh loool
