This is Michael in his prime. He owns this show. Never missing a note or a beat. Everything that made Michael brilliant is evident in this mind blowing performance.
💯 yes.. a lot of people see clips of him from 92-97 but by that time his vocal chords were strained so a lot of people never seen PRIME MJ.. The Victory Tour & The Bad Tour was really peak MJ
The older I get I appreciate the Bad era. Looking back now it was his prime. The way he dance was at its peak. Dangerous and history era no match . It's like during bad he had all kinds of dance moves and his vocals.
@@thebabbler8867 Yeah, he was, don't be stupid. Elvis worldwide sales are at 206.8 million. Michael Jackson is at 169.7 million. They're only beat by The Beatles, who aren't a solo act. That's why he's called The King.
People say Michael is a fraud because he lip syncs a lot but do they not know how hard is it to keep in tune while dancing as rad as Michael? You need enough energy as seen by him singing right now, he’s almost out of breath.
Anyone who has been to his is very lucky. I will swap all my meetings with a lot of Hollywood stars for a magical minute with our beloved Michael Jackson😔😊💫☘️💚
MOLE - Well, considering he was performing and touring for nearly 30-40 years, it's not surprising that he lip-synched more on later tours, so stop being so pedantic.
@Terrell CF He wasn't a drug addict like you say he had prescribed drugs that everyone takes in their life, he had taken pain killers because of the Pepsi incident and then Morphine in 2001 because of pain so stfu hater
This is probably one of my favorite live performances of Thriller. You can tell in later years of thriller performances MJ was tired. Here he still really enjoyed it and gave it his all. ♥️
How is he a real human being? He is so smooth, he makes everything look so easy. And he's such a beautiful soul. Performing the song from the best selling album of all time. This really has me in my feelings.
When he first takes off his mask, his smile is one of genuine happiness. It is a shame his own demons, drugs and the media ruined many of his latter years. This performance was MJ at his peak
The way this dancing was choreographed... Each person on this Planet can imagine...that's it was being made possible to perform by MJ only... No body else can dance this Choreography...😍 MJ made it look easy...✔️❣️
Thank you Michael Jackson, because of you now in days there are Artists like Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, all inspired by you. Your a legend and legends never die. Long Live The King Of Pop !!!
@@lua-userMichael Jackson é o artista solo mais completo de todos os tempos, que domina toda a sinergia para um show acontecer, só se nascer outro dele mas creio que isso vai ser difícil de acontecer.
you should see the one live in Munich but it shows the scariest part of the music video but this is the very first live performance of this and It is AMAZING
He has the greatest selling album of all time, and everyone in the world knows who he is, he didn't need today's technology. He's better than all today's artists.
Nah I’m my opinion that would be wack. This is what makes it’s so good. The old 80s simple gritty technology which makes the thriller live performance freaky and dark asf lol
I only got to know Michael through videos. I feel oddly close to him whenever I see him performing. How come a feeling of nostalgia sets in whenever I revisit his videos, even though I only started to listen to him in 2009. Can´t imagine how people feel, that were able to stan for him in his lifetime. Michael awoke the deepest feelings of admiration and wonder in me, that had a vastly positive impact on my life. Michael, I feel stupid saying I cried myself to sleep knowing, that you where gone.
I just really dont think he's dead. I believe he staged his death and had all the money's transferred into a swiss account & hiding overseas somewhere in another identity using those prosthetic masks used from his music video's like Ghost.
Absolutely amazing that he can belt out those vocals in a huge stadium and bust those moves. Nobody will ever come close to the talent that MJ had. RIP
Michael Jackson is the greatest of all time and Michael Jackson will always be the greatest of all time and Michael Jackson is the greatest of all time
Omg October 2018 and I still cant get enough off this guy, no one can come close to his performance top king off pop. Wish I went to this concert looks wicked
We did not deserve his presence for the way we turned our back on him, he truly was an out of this world talent which we took for granted. The greatest legend along with Madonna as it sha'll remain many generations from now.
what's more awesome than michael jackson in his "bad" silver shirt and black pants with lots of buckles outfit? Answer... michael jackson in his bad-silver shirt and black pants with lots of buckles and his awesomest Thriller jacket over it all!!
He clearly sang live here. So much better organic performance compared to some of his other concerts in the 90s. I'm not complaining, just an observation. Any MJ concert is dynamite!
Faking the singing with just some playback goes against the idea of a live show. We're supposed to hear the singer, and Michael does it perfectly here compared to the 90s.
Thriller is the pinnacle of music videos. we've never seen something like that and we'll never see something like that. may your kind soul rest in peace Michael
imagine a time with no LED's just heavy af incandescent bulbs and theres 30yo guy with a jacket FULL of them bulbs dancing and singing at the same time if you don't like him, okay, but you have to respect him.
I wish I was around during these times I would have loved to see a Michael Jackson concert and see him perform R.I.P Michael your fans still support and love you till this day
truly deserve to be a called as the KING OF POP!!! no other artist specially nowadays can beat his talent.... i repeat, no one!!! i wish he's still here..
This is Michael in his prime. He owns this show. Never missing a note or a beat. Everything that made Michael brilliant is evident in this mind blowing performance.
His prime as solo live artist rather 87. He was fresh then.
💯 yes.. a lot of people see clips of him from 92-97 but by that time his vocal chords were strained so a lot of people never seen PRIME MJ.. The Victory Tour & The Bad Tour was really peak MJ
1984- 1993 was his prime
1982 - 1984 = prime.
The older I get I appreciate the Bad era. Looking back now it was his prime. The way he dance was at its peak. Dangerous and history era no match . It's like during bad he had all kinds of dance moves and his vocals.
Hands down greatest performing artist of all time.
Let's not forget about Freddie Mercury
J C Freddie couldn’t perform half as well as michael. He could work the crowd but michael is on a different level in terms of his on stage performance
J C we didn’t forget him
@@J.C.180 i love freddie, he was special but MJ is untouchable. He has so much more to his game as an all around entertainer.
Don't forget Justin Bieber ❤️
his stage outfits are amazing.
The greatest and most successful solo artist in music history. Even in death, he remains number one.
Right. Elvis was never as big as MJ in anyway.
@@thebabbler8867 Yeah, he was, don't be stupid. Elvis worldwide sales are at 206.8 million. Michael Jackson is at 169.7 million. They're only beat by The Beatles, who aren't a solo act.

@@maxHeadroom325rayxerin Well she was on about Michael Jackson so get out
it is hard to sing and dance at the same time... so this is damn good

People say Michael is a fraud because he lip syncs a lot but do they not know how hard is it to keep in tune while dancing as rad as Michael? You need enough energy as seen by him singing right now, he’s almost out of breath.
And lets not forget about his skin disease that was a problem for his vocal chords. I can forgive him his lip-synching
100% live singing and doing the whole thriller choreo! Love this man!!
I will never stop watching MJ. He's my hero for sure. Saw him on his History tour at Wembley and the crowd was insane.
I was there twice:)
You are so lucky 😭
Anyone who has been to his is very lucky. I will swap all my meetings with a lot of Hollywood stars for a magical minute with our beloved Michael Jackson😔😊💫☘️💚
We have seen many singers who, can't sing live. But MJ did both sing and dance together. Superb...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but He was a drug addict junkie. That's why He is dead.

The crowd screaming is the loudest thing I ever heard so amazing , only when MJ on stage ❤️❤️❤️
I never heard a crowd that before 😳😳😳

He has the greatest selling album of all time, and everyone in the world knows who he is, he didn't need today's technology. He's better than all today's artists.
FYI michael was about to perform billie jean in this is it tour with the same Glowing LED jackets like in this performance
Nah I’m my opinion that would be wack. This is what makes it’s so good. The old 80s simple gritty technology which makes the thriller live performance freaky and dark asf lol
that light up jacket that mj wore weighed 17 pounds, true person right there

Michael Jackson yeah,I'm guessing it was kinda hard to dance,he's so cool
Michael Jackson it was flammable proof too,so he wouldn't light on fire because of the lights on the jacket
