1987 was the best vocally. Behold, Tokyo. Oh sweet Jesus. This is amazing. One of those rare moments where he sounds almost exactly like the record. I love this performance. You get the best of both worlds with his just free-styling his dancing for most of it & then the iconic choreography. Thanks for that.

Yeah that's a great performance. Shame about the quality. One of those rare moments where he sounds almost exactly like the record. You obviously haven't seen the HIStory tour either.

Whilst we're discussing the Bad tour, I can't remember if he ever sung the title track and TWYMMF fully live? I know he mimes Bad on the Wembley show. Can't remember about TWYMMF (y'know, cuz it's such a crappy song, I probably didn't even play it ). And what about SC? I have a vague recollection that he did that live. What about MITM? Was there ever a 100% fully live version on the Bad tour? C'mon @innuendo141, you know the answers....

MITM definitely never 100% live, had many conversations about this. EDIT: Blimey I was right! I've surprised (and redeemed) myself.

Bad live in 1988, same show Smooth Criminal, same show. Hybrid 2nd verse including Moonwalker lyrics MITM has never been performed live fully except for this beauty.

That Smooth Criminal. russtcb you'll love this, "Moonwalker" lyrics in 2nd verse! He was on fire that night. Just trying to think of the Bad setlist, does that mean that apart from half of MITM he was fully live that night?

That's why this show is up there as something I need to hear in pro. Not sure if this is the show that Steve Stevens joined for Dirty Diana, but we also need to remember that MJ sang all these songs live at a time when Dirty Diana was being performed in it's original key. Crazy energy.

Watching that MITM rehearsal again. As always I wonder when and why they decided to lip sync so much of the show.
Great though. Does anyone know what stage these rehearsals were at? i.e. 3 months before first show etc.?

Mad that RTT got so close to the final show.

Side note, my single favorite line Michael ever sang (as in quality of how he sang it) is "the follow the pattern of the wind the see, cause they got no place to be, that's why I'm starting with me" and he nailed it live there.
