She was so impactful on the tours.. like MJ’s co star.. and to see a rockstar woman guitarist was awesome & inspiring. She has so much integrity & humility as a person.. always been honest about MJ unlike some others. MJ was a really good boss.
Will never forget the Bad & Dangerous concerts I attended in Sweden. Jennifer was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. Bless her and her integrity, and her respect for Michael. 🙏
She's literally cemented in history, on stage with some of MJ's most iconic performances. In a hundred years from now, people will watch Dirty Diana at Wembley, and there she'll be. Running around on stage with the legend, the King of Pop.
the MJ & Jenn performances are fun to watch,the crazy costumes but i can see why she is so proud to have played with Jeff Beck. and have him drop his hands off his guitar & point at her after she simply killed it!Jennifer's an inspiration to all musicians & she's still with us,still playing great!
dam to have such a huge tour on the road, and only have to perform 2-3 shows a week is a luxury....Its so expensive to tour that musicians have to do shows EVERY night just to make a profit....MJ had 2-3 days off in between while still making huge profits, what a time ..
Not necessarily that much, because the tour is not necessarily a business in itself, but a part of the whole business of the artist. It might be, that the tour can be considered kind of as a marketing expense in the whole business of the artist. Tour does create revenue, but when talking about such a massive artist as MJ was, it probably wasn't important whether the tour broke even, the investment in the tour would return in some other form. Most of the money anyway is not in touring, back in the day it was in the album sales, not sure how now in the digital era, but even more so in other business deals, such music or the artist persona used in other popular culture products, like commercials, movies, products, and of course the music being played on the radio or on tv. All that is made possible partially by making the artist desirable to the public by for example bringing the artist to your city to perform, in other words by touring. :) For smaller bands and artists the economical side of the tour can be much more important, MJ at the time was an artist that probably had to say no to a lot of business proposals and was still able to make a very good profit as basically a global phenomena.
The profit in the 80s for tours was in the merch + album sales. For a global icon like MJ, 500k a week is like us putting gas in our car, a deductible expense that will generate more profit in ways of music sales and radio spins...Which more than made up for an negative losses...
@@sarppaleffat The tour was absolutely making over 500,000 a week. Didn't you hear Jennifer? They were regularly playing in front of 50,000 people plus. Let's say the Michael Jackson tickets were: $100 dollars (which I am sure they were or maybe more) if they played a 50,000 sold out show, that is 5 million dollars for one night. They were doing that three nights a week. They were no doubt grossing several millions dollars a week.
Jennifer was the bomb while playing for MJ

She was such a great guitar player, her look, her style was just amazing!!
She "Is"

Jennifer Batten is a legend.
Beautiful Jennifer❤
Jennifer and John Moffett (the drummer) were the heart of the band.
Don't forget about Greg Philiganes on keyboard. He was like the maestro
I met her when I was 6 SHE IS SO NICE
I kinda wanna press x to doubt here-
JENNIFERRRRRR 🙌

How could you possibly top being the guitar player on a Michael Jackson tour? You can't. It's all down hill from there.
She rocked the civic circle in Longview, Washington last night.
She’s so awesome I love her

oviusly its a record enterview youre not inside this enterview poor boy
half a million dollars a week to keep us on the road, expenses like bus drivers.. ah yes the bus drivers, those damn money sinks
I wonder what they were profiting per week if they were spending $500,000 per week?
