I'm even more excited now, if that was even possible.

Just one question though, was Buffalo Bill a Bad outtake because I was kinda hoping that it would be on the tracklist, but oh well.

Buffalo Bill was written and recorded in 1984 for Victory album. The song was considered for the Bad album too but was left out of the final tracklist.
 
I'm very happy that they will include The Way You Make Me Feel from July 15 concert but I have a better idea. They should release the whole concert. :D

agreed Galactus! then we can see how the audio quality is.
 
the reason why The Way You Make Me Feel was not performed. "In addition to the complete Wembley Show, the DVD will also contain The Way You Make Me Feel from Michael’s July 15th performance at Wembley Stadium. This is the only song not performed on July 16th due to the late start of that night’s show."
 
"and a song initially titled, “Song Groove.” That song later became known as “Abortion Papers” which according to Michael’s own records, he spent considerable time in weighing how best to thoughtfully address something that was, and remains, a very personal and sensitive issue."

This really seems like an interesting and unusal subject for a pop song. I'm very curious of this.
 
Congrats to the estate for creating this wonderful Box set for the fans they really have gone all out with what they have available to them, can't wait for September 17th EXCITED :woohoo:

Tonight=when I get the package.

I´m looking forward for the lyrics to Abortion papers.Very interesting.
 
It's more then I expected...so I'm happy with it and excited to buy it! I can deal with the 3 remixes if it were more I would have been mad. lol Glad they added TWYMMF performance. Having the French version of IJCSLY is cool. Really lookin forward to listening to the other demos and watchin the DVD!
 
Very Exciting....can't wait for September to come....finally will be watching a BAD TOUR PRO!!! we need to see a trailer

I agree. But Michael was never one to write conventional pop songs. So many songs of his deal with such dark themes, like racism, child abuse, drug addiction, domestic abuse, ... It's no surprise he would deal with this subject as well.
 
It's sad that people still moan about stuff.

5 unheard of tracks is great for me, they can't just release EVERYTHING now, maybe in 10 years, maybe in 25 years, they can release more of the songs we know exist for the Bad era. We have songs that we have never even heard of before in I’m So Blue, Abortion Papers, Free, and songs people have wanted for ages, Al Capone, Price of Fame as well as songs non-fans wouldn't have heard in Streetwalker and Fly Away.

I really don't see what the problem is other than fans being greedy, heck Michael gave us less on Thriller 25 when he was still around!
 
I am very excited than ever now. This this really worth money-spending. This is even better than Thriller 25. The fact we get more out of this, thank you Michael for your gift and, in a way, is still sharing it with us. Thank you to the Estate for a magnificent job.
 
This is BLASPHEMY absolute blasphemy.. :puke:
11. Bad (REMIX BY AFROJACK FEATURING PITBULL - DJ BUDDHA EDIT)
Click to expand...
bleh, could've left that one out, one remix of bad is enough. Meh, I'm excited for the rest nonetheless..thanks. :clap:
 
Wow this just made my day I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement, The shocker of the tracklistings was Abortion Papers really interested on hearing how that sounds but the one that has got me excited is Al Capone can't wait to hear it :).

To behonest I fail to see anything to be disappointed with..there was one slightly scary moment when I saw the listing for the Live CD and did'nt see TWYMMF or Bad Groove Interlude but I was looking at it on my phone but after scrolling down saw the DVD Tracklisting and after a change of pants resumed excitement.
Adding TWYMMF form July 15th as a bonus was an inspired decision Yokohama tracks were a bit of a surprise but maybe there not from the concert that we've all watched god knows how many times.

I'm really looking forward to Bad 25 it will keep me sorted long past Christmas :) Bring on the DVD Trailer

Thank You Estate you've pushed the boat with Bad 25

Bunch of BAD Era songs that could be added to the disc. I really think they could've added at least 4-5 more. And there must be even more, as songs like "I'm So Blue", "Free" and "Song Groove" were unknown until now (as far as I know).

I was so excited reading this and then remembered it wasn't the actual list lol. I only hope they release these in years to come. :sigh:

I hope I will not live to see that day:cry:
By controlling how many un-released songs they release over the time , I hope they'll have enough to last my life time.

I might sound strange, but I don't think I would die happy if I don't listen to everything Michael has left us by the time that day comes lol. I would probably come back from the dead to buy whatever they release :shifty:
 
Btw to the people saying he must have the black jacket on for MITM just because he didnt perform TWYMMF, lol why? Wurzburg for instance, he performed the full setlist (including TWYMMF) but still performed MITM with the black jacket. Maybe he just felt like wearing the TWYMMF shirt :)
 
Well Don't Be Messin' was released earlier this year so I guess that takes it down to 5 :)
 
I swear Pitbull is putting himself in everything these days. You could make a song of your own and when you upload it onto your computer there will magically be a Pitbull rap verse on there
 
Hmm, I wonder if the extras will also contain surround sound.. Hope so! If that's not the case it's fine, because the whole show is in surround sound. I really can't wait to hear this.

I hope there will also be a Bluray audio release of this, with the package in 24 bit 96 kHz sound quality. Let's hope so!!!
 
Just ordered the Deluxe set off Amazon for £ 19.97 :D

My only complaint is that 2 out of 3 remixes are of the same song. A remix of either Smooth Criminal or Another Part Of Me could easily have replaced one of the Bad mixes. But with that said, the tracklist did exceed my expectations!
 
Absolutely thrilled. I will say I'm disappointed that it's only 5 new demos. I just don't see the point including Streetwalker and Fly Away etc again. Why, I don't really understand it. Superb overall though - as it seems here, they're doing a fantastic job. By the sounds of it, it's the original Bad album we're getting which is pretty important as well.

I'm finding it hard to believe TWYMMF was indeed performed that night. When this concert was first announced for release, many people raised concerns about TWYMMF being missing. Fast forward to today and the Estate have confirmed as much. Could it not just be that the memories of those who attended all those years ago just aren't that sharp? Seems more likely rather than quality issues or it not being recorded at all...

And I like that they've added the two Yokohama tracks, I'm really curious to see just how good the quality of this is.
 
to be honest I would have preferred the songs dropped from the second leg rather than IJCSLY & Bad! but that's just me being picky :D can't wait! I'm sure the final DVD quality will be good too! can't wait :woohoo:
