Michael Jackson Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour

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

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.

I'm not (and never been) a fanatic fan of Jacko but here we are talking about his live performance. Combined with the industry's best technology for that period (and believe me when I say that is still epic) this concert was exceptional from many points of view. It was (probably the only) aired by HBO and reached record ratings. I remember the filming crew but I still don't know which format was used for capturing. If it was on celluloid I only hope that it will be distributed on Blu-ray too. On the other hand, Romania was emerging from a very difficult era due to the communist encapsulation and a planetary event like this was a well deserved reward (thank you Marcel Avram for making this possible). But overall MJ was visibly happy about being there, surrounded by an ecstatic crowd and gave his best for the show, resulting in one of the most emotional concert ever. Since then I managed to see many of my iconic artists in live performance all over the world and I was touched by many of them but Michael Jackson Live in Bucharest remains unique. Of course I'm subjective, I had the privilege to be in the audience, but still, I can tell greatness when I see it. I strongly recommend to spend two hours of your life watching this, you won't feel all the passed years (other then the video resolution perhaps) many of the greatest hits of all times were performed and you'll enjoy them (again).

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.

This is High Energy. It has everything – performance, dance, music. It's really entertaining!! I am not a big Michael Jackson fan but this proved to me what a great performer he was and why he had so many dedicated fans who loved him.

This performance takes place in Bucharest in 1992 and Michael was in tremendous shape. He must have lost weight during this – its very physical and non-stop dance.

All his great songs are in this - Thriller, Beat It and the incomparable Billie Jean with the moon walk. I also really liked Man in the Mirror – one of his songs with good meaning and well intentioned.

What a Show!! If you see one movie of Michael Jackson choose this one.
