Thriller 40th Anniversary

Is there proof of that? Not being snarky, I genuinely have no clue about this one. I know they have the snippet of MJ and Tatiana kissing, but that didn’t look much better than DVD quality from what I recall.
Yes, there is. The Dirty Diana alternate music video is from the MSG performance, then there's the kiss bit in 2012.
The master is tape, of course (Beta Tape, not Umatic in this case).

Also, you have to take into consideration it has been cropped.

Dirty Diana was filmed in Long Beach

 
Mate that's just unlocked a memory 😅. I was so grateful for Jetzi's videos. We've come a long way since those days

I'd take a Bad 25 Wembley level DVD of New York. The quality never bothered me as much as others, a high quality release would be a dream, but the Wembley DVD beat the camcorder rips we used to have
Haha! Brother, do you remember the Oyvindeid days? Man this takes me back. I’m getting old.
 
Yes. There's a New York Times article about the first night that mentions Steve Stevens' appearance.
But there are also articles mentioning the kiss happening on the 6th. I don’t think we ever got to a conclusion of when the kiss took place. Although I also believed that it took place on the 3rd, I’m now more inclined to believe that it was on the last night.

Steve isn't mentioned to be in any other night. Guess I'm sticking with the 3rd, which corroborates the idea of DD and the Bad 25 bit coming from the same tape.
 
interesting that there was in fact a full dress rehearsal of ‘billie jean’, where Michael went all out. I was always under the impression that he kept it a secret from everyone (though, it was probably just his family). I wonder if any footage exists, and if it was any different to the final performance?

the official social media page is rightfully marking this momentous occasion 👍🏽💜
 
what a coincidence that questlove would echo the comparisons I made in a previous post, between the ‘billie jean’ and dancing machine’ performances, ten years apart from each other
That's super fascinating actually. How MJ seemed to so successfully make a smash hit, get tons of accolades, and then somehow get a round 2 resurgence. How often does that happen?
 
Also, why isn't Motown 25 on the YouTube Channel? Why doesn't the estate endorse it officially?
I’ve been suggesting this in the comments section for years. under this very post on instagram actually. different accounts upload it almost daily (with varying degrees of quality), only for them to be taken down due to copyright. shame really…

There's a really good comprehensive Motown 25 DVD. I own it. They could just post that maybe.
