Michael Jackson — HIStory World Tour, Munich, 1997

Footage of Michael Jackson at Munich’s Olympiastadion (Germany) on 6 July 1997, during the HIStory World Tour — the highest-grossing tour of the 1990s. This full concert, here restored in 4K, unfolds the vast stage machine of the “King of Pop”: a spectacular opening with “Scream” and “They Don’t Care About Us”, a run of classics (“Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'”, “Stranger in Moscow”, “Smooth Criminal”, “Billie Jean”, “Thriller”, “Beat It”), a Jackson 5 medley, and a grand finale with “Earth Song”, “Heal the World” and “HIStory”. Amid precision choreography, pyrotechnics and filmed interludes, Michael Jackson is backed by a live band led by musical director Brad Buxer, guitarist Jennifer Batten and drummer Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett. This historic recording is an immersion in the outsized spectacle of an artist at his peak, before a packed stadium. A reference live filmed concert for lovers of pop and the great tours of the 1990s.
