Michael Jackson Live At Wembley July 16, 1988

So, in 1988 I was 7 years old and completely in love with Michael Jackson. I even showed the movie Moonwalker at my birthday party. Why oh why didn't my parents take me to see him in concert? There were so many opportunities: Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Indianapolis. Did they not realize that this would be his only US tour ever??? Did they not know that this was history in the making and probably one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived? It's not like I could have ordered tickets and taken myself. Poor me. And then 25 years I discovered this wonderful dvd here on amazon. This dvd does not disappoint. It takes me right back to 1988 when the 80's were awesome and I had not a care in the world. Michael has his long Jheri Curl with the little baby hairs and the band has no shortage of mohawks to go around. Now for those of you who criticize the video quality, I have to say that it actually inhanced the experience for me. Obviously this was recorded in the 80's before all of the technology advancements we have today so you must take that in consideration. I also find it quite amusing to watch their attempts at making stage theatrics and pyrotechnics to thrill the crowd. Of course it pails in comparison to what we have today, and may even seem a bit rudimentary, but to me it is a documentation of history. Michael was a perfectionist so for the time period whatever was strategically placed in the show was painstakenly reviewed by Michael and his creative team. Even by today's standards it is still a fantastic, marvelous show. His talent is timeless and for that reason alone this concert stands the test of time. I really appreciated it's VHS quality. Call me a sucker for nostalgia. All of the songs performed are great. I do have one criticism, however. Why oh why did he hire Sheryl Crow as a back-up singer? I love her music as a solo artist but until I heard her live singing on this dvd, now I must question her ability as a singer. She sounds like a strangled cat. She butchered one of my favorite songs. By now I'm sure you have seen the movie "This is It", well the beautiful young lady he hired to sing this song for his This is it tour blows Sheryl Crow out of the freakin' water. I don't know what the heck Mike was thinking. Maybe he was infatuated with her high heels, leather mini skirt and sky high eighties hair lol. Speaking of Sheryl, when they are singing together on "I just can't stop loving you", the sexy way Mike touches her and is in tune with her body. Whoa! I didn't know Mike had it in him. I mean, I've seen all his videos but those all seemed so choreographed. If this video is any indication, Mike sure knew how to touch a woman in all the right places. Best video ever. I am so happy I have these memories to remember this special man forever. He was genius and now his legacy with live on through his music and the collection of film that we have. Bravo. Bravo.

This concert truly changes lives. Someone who isn't a Michael Jackson fan will become an obsessed Michael Jackson fan just from watching and listening to this concert. You will never be the same afterwards. You will become unstoppable after you experience this heavenly performance. Michael Jackson's BAD concert at Wembley Stadium is not just the greatest concert and musical experience ever, it is the greatest thing I ever ever seen, heard or felt in my entire life! It's a truly life-changing experience. Greater than any movie, greater than any other concert or performance, greater than any sporting event, the greatest thing you will ever see and experience in your life! Michael Jackson's dancing and energy defies the laws of physics. His singing and vocals defy all adjectives. The music and the sounds are magical. The heart and the soul is indescribable. You experience this concert and you leave a changed person for the better. The magic gets inside your heart, bones, and soul. I can't stop smiling during the entire two hours and beyond. This concert is greater than anything anyone can imagine. You want to know what it feels like in Heaven? It feels like the way you feel as you experience this concert. Michael Jackson is truly a Champion and a hero. MJ really cares about inspiring people to go after all their dreams, trust in God, never give up, and become the person you were meant to become.

The Truth Always Triumphs! Victory! This Is It!

What an exceptional human being and performer Michael was. This helped me catch up with his great music which gives me energy.

Ich bin seit vielen Jahren ein echter Michael Jackson-Fan und dieses Konzert ist der Wahnsinn! Viel gibt es dazu eigentlich nicht zu sagen. Das Bild ist qualitativ natürlich eher mager, aber da die Bilder ja eigentlich nie für die Veröffentlichung bestimmt waren und ich darauf eingestellt war, ist das für mich gar kein Problem. Wichtiger ist meiner Meinung nach auch eher der Ton - und der ist hier aus meiner Sicht besser als erwartet. Man kann das Konzert meiner Meinung nach so richtig genießen, wenn der Ton aufgedreht ist. ;) Über das Konzert an sich kann man auch nicht viel sagen außer: unglaublich toll! Es lohnt sich wirklich. Besonders als Fan. Für alle nicht-Fans ist die 'Live in Bucharest'-DVD vielleicht etwas vorteilhafter. Also: super Produkt, wenn man auf die Bildqualität gefasst ist. super Konzert. super Michael Jackson. :)

Imperdibile concerto per i fan di MJ!! puro anni '80. Michael da il meglio di sé in questa performance a Wembley!. DVD di ottima fattura, la qualità del prodotto è alta. Ovviamente il concerto non è HD ma si vede benissimo lo stesso ed il suono è eccellente in Dolby 5.1. Ci sono anche due canzoni/esibizioni non presenti nella tracklist di quella sera.

Sin duda, la mejor gira, en la que estaba en mejor forma de todas las que hizo fue la de Bad. Si hace 25 años hubiera tenido la oportunidad de comprar el vídeo de este concierto, aunque hubiera sido en vhs, no lo hubiera ni pensado. Una auténtica joya para los fans de Michael Jackson. Se presupone que la calidad del dvd no será HD, pero tampoco se ve tan mal. A mí me ha fascinado, y la caja, aunque de cartón, muy chula y además incluye un libreto con fotos y todas las fechas de la gira.

Buema calidad de audio y video tomando en cuenta la fecha del concierto.
