After getting the Michael Jackson live in Bucharest (1992) DVD
Michael Jackson Live in Bucharest
I was happy to see this Michael Jackson Live in Japan Tour DVD at my local video rental store (yes, I physically go to a locally owned video store where they have people who know me and recommend good movies from their own experience (not from inferences made by computerized data mining and correlation)).
I rented it and had a look.
Wow, what a difference 7 years makes when comparing this 1985 performance to the 1992 Bucharest show.
The younger Michael is far more energetic. Where one move was done in 1992, in 1985 he does 3 or 4. Where one spin was done in 1992, he does 3. The body movements have more articulated parts moving around, his balance on one foot is more precise and the 'moonwalk' is comparatively smoother with no uneveness...
In contrast to Michael's more catchy dancing in 1985, guitarist Jennifer Batten's hair was a lot more tame in the 1985 show as compared to gloriously expansive puff that it was in 1992. Well, win some, lose some..
The video quality is not great, but seeing MJ perform like that supercedes any disappointment that was felt over the fuzzy picture !
