Michael Jackson was fantastic during the Dangerous Tour.

bon jovi live from london

Queen Live at Wembley is pretty good. Not great visually, sound not spectacular but brings back happy memories of a great day for me. Especially 'Tie Your Mother Down', the whole stadium went mental.

All of Take That's since 2006 I love the dance routine bit in The Ultimate Tour where Mark, Howard and Jason break dance and Gary joins in with a routine.

I know I get excited just watching it. I can't imagine what I would have done if I'd been there. I probably would have been one of those people who passed out

I had tickets to see one of his 02 shows

Dangerous Tour live in Bucharest is great until you see footage of the Bad Tour. The final Bad concert was in 1989 and the first Dangerous concert was in 1992 but it's like Michael Jackson aged about ten years between the two tours. He mimes half the Bucharest gig, the dancing is limited and not as electric as it was on the Bad Tour and the whole thing has become a bit like a Disney On Ice production.

The Bad Tour remains, in my opinion, the single greatest tour in the history of popular music. You got all the spectacle of a pop concert but with all the legitimacy of a James Brown concert; tight band, impeccable live vocals, but also phenomenal dancing combined with lasers, magic tricks etc.

Jackson just looks a bit depressed on the Dangerous Tour. He announced after the Bad Tour that he didn't intend to ever tour again and made a comment that the only reason he was embarking on the Dangerous Tour was because of the fundraising possibilities. He donated all of his personal profit from the Dangerous Tour - which spanned two years - to charity.

I'm not saying it's a bad tour; it's not. It still trumps anything most performers could even hope to stage. But comparing it to the Bad Tour, MJ had lost something in the interim; his joy. You watch him on the Bad Tour and he can't contain himself. He grins and laughs through the whole show, dances spontaneously, gets lost in the music. On the Dangerous Tour that joy and spontaneity has dissipated. Everything is precise, down to the last toe tap or finger snap, and even his smiles and 'I love yous' are rehearsed.

As for the HIStory Tour... Well, that's better left undiscussed altogether.

The estate, by the way, is planning to release a Bad Tour DVD next year to mark the 25th anniversary of the album. Or that's what I saw on twitter the other day, at least.

The Friday's Child video is great but why did they keep on cutting from angle to angle all the way through? I remember we all complained about it at the time. Still a great song.
