Thriller 40th Anniversary

Like...im speechless almost right now. The fact that this kinda stuff has just been sitting up for years...now I'm wondering why Michael never put any of this out. He limited himself as well I think. Lol he honestly didn't even need to do this is it. All he had to do was release these types of things & we would've loved it just as much & still had him here...maybe
That’s what I was saying, Michael didn’t need to do This Is It, he had his concert tapes which he could’ve released. It would’ve made a lot if he released and he wouldn’t have to tour. I’m assuming it’s because he thought it’s much better to experience the concert rather than watch it on the screen. But I think we should see these shows, you could still feel his magic even if it isn’t actually going to the concert.

He also filmed and edited several shows. Recorded some on multitracks. Bad tour almost got released. I'm almost praying that this victory tour film is in full and that it was recently catalogued with maybe some of the lost bad tour film. Long shot but we gotta hope.

Why didnt the estate just use these victory tour performances instead of lyric videos??

Best thing to come from this doc is the new footage that probably confirms a full HD concert exists.
 
came across this snippet from the documentary, of Michael discussing something close to my heart; the message of ‘beat it’. it’s so rare to hear him speak with such conviction during this time. his voice had a force to it. I would love to know where this was taken from. aside from new footage, I’m most excited to hear Michael tell his own story during this time.
Mike's voice here reminds me of his Ebony interview in 2007
 
Thriller has Jerry Hey and his guys doing a live 4 piece horn section throughout the song and then additional flugel and flute parts during the middle 8.
Forgot about the bridge!

But are there horns, though? Or flugelhorn, trumpet and trombone only?
 
NEW CLIPS!! He clearly states....."I WANT QUALITY VIDEOS" I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS STUFF EXSITS! BEAT IT LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE OR SOMETHING. I'm so excited yet at the same time im upset because I know we will only see just the clips
To borrow @Hulkamaniac 's quote 'I'm happy but so angry' (something like that, you get the gist)

Mixed feelings, for sure. Elated but so frustrated. To put it mildly!

Anyway, thanks for posting this. It's gold.

I really hope they release a full concert in HD. Audio doesn't have to be from multitracks.
 
@zinniabooklover thank you for the tag ,
You're welcome.

All hail @kai for the original clip, all hail @wonderouzmj for bringing us an extended clip. Awesome!

This looks so interesting. im so happy 🤭
It's wild. I love it.

I really hope they release a full concert in HD.
I want this SO much. It's great having random songs or short little clips - some people have done some great work in this area - but a complete concert is what's needed.
