Michael Jackson Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour

As Romanian, I see this concert as a historical one. For political reasons more than artistic. No doubts, it remains a great piece of tour. It gives the best Michael Jackson , it is perfect in each detail. And, for many reasons, it is the sketch for the huge effort for the late project of him. So, just historical. And great, especialy for the status of clear, precise definion of freedom.

At the time of this live concert production, pop icon, Michael Jackson (1958-2009) was 34 years old and, quite obviously, right at the very top of his game in the music business.

Filmed entirely on stage (in Bucharest, Romania) - This 2-hour presentation (consisting of 16 songs) was clearly a marketing tool in order to promote Jackson's well-publicized "Dangerous Tour" to all of his devoted fans both in Europe, as well as in North America, too.

My one major complaint about this production was that (far too often) Jackson's singing became almost inaudible among all of the absolutely deafening cheers of the frantic audience, as well as the over-loud instruments of those musicians backing him up right on stage.

Michael Jackson Live in Bucharest is perhaps the best concert from the 1990's to ever surface. After giving HBO massive ratings, and then again on subsequent channels around the world, it was only inevitable that it would have to get a DVD release sooner or later.

Included on the DVD are some of Michael's biggest hits, ranging from Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It to Man In The Mirror.

The concert begins with something called "The Toaster Entrance" this hit headlines around the world, as it saw Michael being catapulted onto the stage to a massive ovation, to start off with the song Jam.

This possibly is the most amazing mix of Choreography and singing that goes together so well, that you will get goose-bumps just watching Michael's presence on stage. The most annoying parts of the concert, would have to be the crowd shots, i mean why buy a concert to see those amazing dance moves in action, only to be shown shots of girls fainting and crying.

Fan or Not, just about anyone will like this concert, as it documents Michael at his highest peak. Either-way it's a great thing to check out.

No one dances and performs better than the King. Thats a fact. He is the greatest entertainer ever for a reason. And everyone should watch him perform live. He is magic. May he rest in piece. We did not deserve this man. RIP MJ

I was fortunate enough to see Michael Jackson on the Dangerous Tour and History Tours.

I vividly remember recording (and still own) the original broadcast of this show.

They have overdubbed a lot of vocals onto this DVD, especially on Jam, where he very obviously lip synced. 'hee hees' and 'ho's' have been added to this DVD, where they are not present on the original broadcast.

Also, and lord knows why, there are now loads of gratuitous shots of fans passing out and being dragged away, which WERE NOT on original broadcast

Great concert, great performer, slightly dodgy DVD
