There is now a trend, within a large percentage of the MJ fan community to constantly look for the negative in things. A lot of fans are completely over looking the fact, that after 24 very long years and many campaigns and petitions later that we are finally getting Bad Tour Wembley 88! This release is a massive step forward with regards to Michael Jackson's legacy. Much of his reputation as one of the worlds greatest entertainers was built on this tour alone and Wembley see's Michael Jackson at a live peak that has become mythological amongst fans.
I cannot believe that so many fans are not appreciating the effort it's taken lots of people (including some very dedicated fans) and historical importance of this release. It's taken us 24 years to get here.The Wembley concert alone (MJ's performance from the 16th is regarded as one the most passion fulled and energetic displays of showmanship he has ever given) would have been enough.
On top of that we we are getting 5 new tracks. 6 if you include DBMR (which I do because it's less than a few months old), 7 if you include the Spanish version of IJCSLY!
On top of that again, for the first time ever, Spike Lee will deliver a documentary that people behind the scenes are saying is incredibley special, and will feature footage from the vaults that have never been seen!
It is disheartening to see the reaction (among some) to one of Michael Jackson's most important release's (Bad Tour Wembley 88) treated as an excericse in gluttony and self interested self-indulgence. You'll never please everyone, but for the love of god, be greatful and try to appreciate what we are getting this year.
lol, u mad.
People are allowed to not like something. Especially on a message board, where people can voice their opinion.
There's nothing wrong with disliking the fact that a heavily anticipated concert dvd is being sourced from some bad copy VHS tape.
All that "NASA RESTORATION" stuff is BS.
It will look viewable, I guess. But knowing that they actually have better stuff lying around kinda bums be out. Obviously, still looking forward to it.

Anyway, I can't believe this was never discussed!
Ok, so like, do you guys remember there were 3 recording modes of VHS tapes?
SP, LP, and EP.
SP had was the highest quality and allowed for like 2 hours of record time, LP was 4, and EP was 6 to 8 (i guess it depended on the tape you bought).
What if Michaels copy was recorded in like LP or EP.
That's yet ANOTHER reason why it would look so bad
From start to finish, the concert prolly reached over the 2 hr tape mark.
Just something to think about.
