Short description

A compilation of interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The footage was originally intended for Michael Jackson's personal collection. The creative team for the concert tour also planned to analyze the material for potential changes to a future tour that never materialized.
  • During the performance of Michael Jackson's songs “Thriller,” “Smooth Criminal,” and “Earth Song,” a large 3D screen is activated. It was originally planned to operate throughout the entire concert.
  • Throughout almost the entire film, Michael Jackson sings softly, conserving his energy for the performance. On at least two occasions, he explains this to the technicians and producers, who claim they cannot adjust the equipment for vocals at such a high volume. Jackson sings at full voice only at the end of the song “The Way You Make Me Feel.”
