HIStory World Tour: 1996 – 1997
The HIStory Tour was Michael’s last solo tour, which started on September 7th 1996 and ended on October 15th 1997. It consisted of 82 concerts and was seen by approximately 4.5 million people. It was his most popular tour, based on attendance and how much money it made.
During the HIStory Tour, not only was Michael the first pop artist in history to sell out Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii; but he actually performed there twice…both shows a sell out.

Overview [ ]
Royal brunei concert [ ].
Prior to the HIStory Tour, Michael Jackson performed a free concert at the Jerudong Park Amphitheatre in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei on July 16, 1996. The concert's purpose was a birthday performance for the Sultan of Brunei's 50th birthday. The concert was attended by the royal family of Brunei.
Much of this concert resembled Jackson's Dangerous Tour, keeping the details of the HIStory Tour a close secret. Jackson would later return to Brunei during the HIStory Tour on December 31, 1996.

Broadcasts and Recordings [ ]
A number of full or near-full concerts were broadcast on television and are now available on YouTube. Here is the list:
- Bucharest 1996 - The first full televised concert and also the third concert of the tour. "The Great Gates of Kiev" introduction was filmed off-screen onto the Jumbotron, not a direct feed like the other concerts. The footage and audio for the "Remember The Time" Interlude was different from that shown at other concerts. The crowd noises and some crowd footage is from the Dangerous Tour in Bucharest DVD, but the true origin of these sounds is unknown, as the Bucharest DVD did contain footage from Wembley, Madrid and several other concerts. During " Billie Jean ," the playback started late as Michael Jackson covered his mouth to lip-sync, and during the final number " HIStory ," for a brief moment, he sang over playback. This concert was televised by TELE 7 ABC.
- Budapest 1996 - This concert was the second concert of the tour. The full concert is an amateur recording by a fan in bad quality. Parts of the songs were recorded from the Jumbotron. There is also a 30 minute professional radio broadcast of the show.
- Tunis 1996 - This concert was aired on September 18, 2010 by the Nessma TV channel in Tunisia. Before then, only parts of this concert were shown on television as well as a very poor quality amateur-filmed far from the stage. The broadcast ended at " Heal the World ," cutting off the final number "HIStory." The quality of the broadcast was rather average as the entire concert was on a VHS and broadcast at a low bit rate. A large, spinning Nessma TV logo occasionally rolled across the screen as a means of copyright protection. The concert broadcast twice, with the red ball appearing in different places in both broadcasts (which has allowed fans to re-edit the two broadcasts to remove this logo). During the first broadcast, a scrolling bar of text was placed at the bottom of the screen informing viewers of the second broadcast.
- Seoul 1996 - During the performance of " Earth Song ," Jackson, (who was up on a cherry picker) was accosted by a male Korean fan who climbed up the crane just to meet Jackson. Michael held on to the man because he had a risk of falling. The man was then taken away by security after the crane was lowered. This concert was commercially released on VHS in Korea. Before the release of the Live in Bucharest DVD, this was the only commercially released Michael Jackson concert. Despite an official release, the versions that have appeared online are poor quality leaks because copy protection of the original VHS has prevented a good quality rip. The intros and endings of some songs are cut off as well. The VHS contains both the Seoul nights, one from 11 October, and 13 October. The first half of the contains the 11th October show, while the beginning of 2nd verse of Thriller to HIStory is the 13th October show.
- Kuala Lumpur 1996 - Performances of " Come Together / D.S. ," " Black or White ," "Earth Song," "Heal the World," and "HIStory" were not broadcast. The available broadcasts go up to " Dangerous ." Snippets of the October 29 concert (including the aforementioned songs) were also released during a news report on TV1000. Because crotch grabbing is considered impure in Islam, Jackson altered his crotch-grabbing move in this concert. It was televised by NTV7, but so far, only poor quality VCD recordings are known to exist. In 2015, full footage from the second show was uploaded in better quality.
- Auckland 1996 - This was the last known professionally filmed concert with the " Off the Wall Medley " and last performance of "Come Together / D.S." It was also the only known performance of "Billie Jean" with a repeated chorus near the end of the dance sequence. Also, when Jackson began singing " Thriller ," for a brief moment, the a cappella could not be heard. In 2015, the full footage from the first show leaked.
- Sydney 1996 - Only a few songs were broadcast from this concert, as well as parts from the concert on November 14. Nine Network also showed some footage from the first concert in the days after Jackson died; it was revealed that he sang " Beat It " fully live as the a cappella track was malfunctioning at the time. Just a few hours after the latter performance, Jackson married Debbie Rowe in a civil ceremony in his presidential suite at the Sheraton on the Park Hotel. Also in Sydney, Michael's latest short film Ghosts had its film premiere.
- Manila 1996 - This was televised first initially by GMA Network. This was also broadcast on Singapore's MediaCorp Channel 5 around October 2006. The Channel 5 version fades after each song performed (there is no intro to "Billie Jean"), but is in higher quality than the GMA broadcast. This was one of the few HIStory Tour concerts where Jackson did not beatbox before he threw his hat at the end of "Billie Jean" (another example being the concert in Moscow). " The Way You Make Me Feel " was performed, but not broadcasted (although there was an amateur snippet of "The Way You Make Me Feel" filmed and put on a news report in Manila). This was one of the two concerts where "Dangerous" was withdrawn from the setlist (the other being the concert in Tokyo (December 20). "Scream" is also censored (along with the broadcast of the concert in Copenhagen).
- Brunei 1996 - This was never televised, but known to exist as a rare promo item as with Royal Concert. Along with the latter performance, it is among one of the rarest known concert footage to exist. Private collectors have obtained the concert on VHS in high quality but have never released full concert footage, remaining controversial for their refusal to share the tape. In October 2008 a poor-quality VCD copy (also additionally compressed and watermarked) was uploaded onto the internet by a fan in Brunei who obtained the concert from a stage crew. Video quality was fair and the sound was badly encoded with a rumbling distortion when bass was played. Unwatermarked files from the same VCD source had been uploaded, though the sound quality was still very poor. An edited high quality soundboard CD was leaked in 2013. In the CD, the live vocals in Scream were replaced by playback and the drum ending of Billie Jean was shortened. As with Malaysia, Brunei has a mostly Muslim population, so Jackson altered his crotch-grab move and this is also obscured by camera angles that are different from most other concerts. This concert is also noted for the first verse of " Scream " being sung live. The curtain used in " Smooth Criminal " and the cherry picker for "Beat It" and "Earth Song" were not present during this concert (though they were during the Royal Brunei Concert ). High quality footage of the concert leaked in 2015.
- Munich 1997 - Jackson planned upon filming this concert for a DVD release by Christmas, so more camera angles (including individual crowd shots) were used, and the audio was later remastered heavily to emphasize the percussion and audience sounds. Jackson also had the concert filmed with HD cameras. The release was ultimately cancelled due to Jackson's dissatisfaction of the behind-the-scenes filming, as well as having laryngitis and the flu which affected his live vocals and dancing. However, the performance was televised extensively in many different countries, making it one of the most readily available concerts. The most common version is the one aired by Sat. 1 and most other channels, but other versions, such as the one that aired in South Africa (with a small segment from a concert at Johannesburg), and a Japanese version with alternate camera angles also exist. Most versions have also been edited with a segment from the concert on August 3, 1997 at Leipzig before the " Jackson 5 Medley " where Jackson talks about an insect on the stage which he calls the security to remove and Stranger In Moscow being 4 July, though the beginning and the ending contained 6 July. An unedited version of the concert from July 6 has the original camera angles seen on the jumbotrons and original sound. Two amateur videos from July 4 (one of which contained footage of both shows) also exist. Following Jackson's death, this concert was re-televised by RTL 5, who had previously televised it on their Veronica channel. This was also televised in Singapore's MediaCorp Channel 5 in 2009. It was also recently televised in Germany on ZDF on June 24 with alternate camera angles and being upscaled to 720p HD, and in Australia on the music channel MAX for his death anniversaries. In Malaysia, 8TV had broadcast the concert on August 2009 in conjunction with the King of Pop's birthday, and it was shown again on June 26, 2010 on the first anniversary of Jackson's death. Also, the Brazilian channel Multishow always air this concert in HD and with no cuts.
- Copenhagen 1997 - Broadcast by TV1000 and Channel 3. Most VHS rips of this version that have appeared seem to suffer from a greenish video noise and audio problems. This concert, along with the 1996 concert in Seoul, were televised on Korean television in July 2009; the songs " Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' ," " Stranger in Moscow ," and " Blood on the Dance Floor " were edited off in this new televised version of this concert. However, only a version with poor sound quality was recorded by a fan. This performance was also televised on Singapore's MediaCorp Channel 5 in early 2010, both on its standard definition channel as well as upscaled to 1080i HD. The upscaled version has been recorded by fans but has not been shared. The audio of the concert had been edited by the TV station, resulting in some compression issues as well as the censoring of "Scream" ("stop f***in' with me" was replaced with "stop pressurin' me").
- Gothenburg 1997 - This was also broadcast by TV1000 and Channel 3. This concert is very similar to the Copenhagen concert; it also contains the last televised performance of "Blood on the Dance Floor" (though the concert in Oslo on August 19 was the last actual live performance of this song). During "Scream," the pre-recorded a capella vocal of Jackson did not play back. Jackson continued to lip-sync and dance until the vocals continued during the chorus.
- Helsinki 1997 - Most versions that have appeared suffer from audio noise and the video has some ghosting artefacts, although there is no watermark. The HIStory Teaser was shown at the end of the programme.
- Basel 1997 - On December 25, 2016, YouTube channel MJ Beats leaked the full concert, and it is now available on YouTube. At first, they leaked a couple songs, then they would release a poll asking the fans which performance they would like to see next. They would continue to do so until every song was leaked, they then live streamed the full show on Facebook, then on YouTube.
- Johannesburg 1997 - Released by MJ Beats on Michael's Birthday in 2017. Michael's parents had attended the show.
Snippets and amateur recordings also exist:
- Prague 1996 - Most notably the first part of the concert with "Scream." Full amateur audio and a near-full concert recording exists.
- Warsaw 1996 - Most notably "The Way You Make Me Feel." A snippet of Billie Jean also exists.

- Singapore 1996 - Snippets of "Scream", "They Don't Care About Us" and "History" are found on TCS (now MediaCorp) Singapore Channels 5 and 8. The quality is very poor but it is stated that the defects are inherent in the programme.

- Bruno Mars attended the Honolulu show in Hawaii, on 3 January 1997
- " Dangerous " was withdrawn from the concerts in Tokyo (December 17 and 20) and Manila (December 8 and 10).
- Only two numbers from the set list were sung fully live, "Wanna be Startin' Somethin'" and "The Jackson 5 Medley. The rest of the set list was either fully lip-synced or sung live at the end of the song. It's never been publicly revealed why Jackson elected to lip-sync but many fans have speculated vocal difficulties as Jackson's voice is noticeably hoarse throughout the first half of the tour. Other reasons include Jackson's choice of putting recorded vocals to sound like the Studio Recording. There were possible chances that Jackson was singing under the playback, after provided the multitrack leaks of the Munich 6th July show.
- Wanting to be better prepared physically for the tour, Jackson trained with Bodybuilder/Actor Lou Ferrigno. Ferrigno helped with Jackson's training and diet. Because of this, Jackson is noticeably heavier during the first half of the tour than in previous tours.

The 12 Most Iconic Michael Jackson Live Stage Performances
by Kan Nigua January 4, 2021, 1:25 pm updated January 5, 2021, 12:59 pm
Michael Jackson had never hesitated to pull off a stunt that would shock the people. And that habit evolved over time, from music videos to live performances. In this article, we’ll look back to a handful of most Iconic live stage performances of MJ. They’re so much to talk about for such topics, but we have kept it nice and short for you.
12. They Don’t Care About – Munich (1997)
As a part of the HIStory tour, Michael Jackson came to Munich in 1997. Dressed as an army General, he marched on the stage with his dance crew. As if he had taken over the territory and performed the ceremonial parade. The feeling of being present in that magical moment was inexplicably beautiful as some viewers expressed. The anti-establishment essence of “They Don’t Care About Us” synced with that environment very well.
11. Dangerous – Munich (1999)
15 Vintage Cars of All Time: Icons of Automotive History
35 future cars set to hit the market until 2028: supercars that will redefine innovation, 12 pieces of donald trump car collection: former president’s 2m$ luxury vehicles.
Michael’s 1999 Munich concert is incredible for many reasons. The song “Dangerous” was performed after a medley. That technique, those moves, and geese, the stage- that’s awesome. The choreography was exquisitely unique and fresh. No wonder Mr. Jackson was a perfectionist. Unfortunately, after that performance, an accident occurred on the stage which caused Michael a minor injury.
10. Smooth Criminal – Munich (1997)
The HIStory World Tour of 1997 is famous for many reasons. As a part of that tour, Munich experienced the best ever performance of “Smooth Criminal”. He crushed it on the stage, with every bit of the choreography and music played perfectly. The perfectionist he was, reflects all around his works. Here the silhouette on the curtain with different sizes of shadow, you have to give MJ the credit for his keen eye to details. That whole performance was huge all together, but it particularly stood out.
9. Earth Song – Munich (1997)
Every tour was different and every performance HIStory tour of 1997 in Munich followed the same motto. There was MJ on the stage, his angelic voice asked “what about sunrise?”. The “Earth Song” performance of that night reclaimed his kingdom.
8. Man In The Mirror – Bucharest (1992)
The 1992 Dangerous tour of MJ in Bucharest, Romania is still vivid in the memories of many MJ fans. A stadium packed with the audience, watching such a grand music concert for the first time in their lives, such a beautiful moment. Michael performed his song “Man in The Mirror”, the whole stadium sang in the chorus. The gentle and calm MJ appeared hazy smoked stage as if it were a dream-come-true for many people.
7. Another Part of Me – Wembley Stadium (1988)
As a live spectator of the 1988 Wembley live performance of Michael Jackson, John Peel wrote “he took control with a performance of matchless virtuosity”. He certainly was accurate about MJ’s charm and style. The King of Pop knew how to take control over the stage and audience. He performed the song “Another Part of Me”, and the whole stadium suddenly came to life as if his voice brought the blessings of energy.
6. Jam – Bucharest (1992)
In an article covering MJ’s Dangerous tour in Bucharest, Variety reported, “A Michael Jackson concert has about as much spontaneity as a space shuttle launch”. I couldn’t agree more. The King Of Pop jumped out of nowhere and stood still on the stage for around 100 seconds and the audience went crazy. Then he took off his sunglasses and yes, the wait ended. “Jam”, his then released song was being performed throughout the stage as if MJ didn’t want to leave a single inch unhampered. MJ’s dangerous tours have many records, but that night of 1992 in Bucharest is the most cherished memory of many Michael Jackson fans.
5. 30th Grammy Award Ceremony (1988)
It was an evening of 2nd March 1988 in Radio City Music Hall, New York City. Michael Jackson was given 10 minutes to perform in the 30th Grammy Awards ceremony. The rest is written in golden letters. That night Michael’s performance was undoubtedly the most magnificent thing those people ever experienced. In the beginning, The silhouette of MJ first appeared through the curtains and the audience cheered for the first time and they never stopped. He performed “The Way You Make Me Feel”, starting with his iconic style, he soon caught up with that impeccable rhythm. The next song was “Man in The Mirror” with a choir team at the back. And believe me, when I say this: it was the most soulful live performance ever. The show was during Michael’s Bad tour, later it became the highest-grossing album tour.
4. Billie Jean – Madison Square Garden (2001)
To celebrate MJ’s 30th anniversary, the Madison Square Garden was roaring; thousands of his fans including celebrities attended the show. The performance of Billie Jean rocked the stage and it went on to be Michael’s last epic performance. He never performed moonwalk again. His extremely flexible and rhythmic dance pattern created a storm which lasted till the show ended.
3. MTV Music Awards (1995)
The 1995 MTV Video Music Award Show was something different than the previous years. With Michael Jackson’s new album HIStory: Past, Present, and Future: Book I released, the show was an attempt to rekindle the old nostalgias. Accompanied with the Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, MJ performed four of his evergreen songs “Beat It,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Black or White” and “Smooth Criminal”. The 15-minute show was an-all square hit and later that night Michael bagged two awards as well.
2. Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever (1983)
The Silver Jubilee show of Motown records is mostly remembered for one reason: moonwalking and a new Michael Jackson. After the performance of The Jackson 5 crew, who were gathered after a long time, MJ took to the stage on his own. The contagious beat of “Billie Jean” touched the ear and so started the mesmerizing moves of a sequined shirt. Michael leap synced through the whole song but the more important thing was the dancing. In 1983, Michael Jackson first performed the so-called backslide, which was later known as the moonwalk. Many MJ fans would argue that performance changed his life and made him The King of Pop. Full Story .
1. Super Bowl XXVII Halftime Show (1993)
The kids of the ’80s had the chance of experiencing the 1993 Superbowl halftime, and that’s something you only get to see once. His magical performance led the NFL to gain a massive viewer base from that game and forever thereafter. MJ’s Heal The World Foundation was specially promoted through this performance. There are some wonderful facts about that show as the whole stage was apparently constructed in under 6 minutes and it was surrounded by approx thousands of kids. More Read .

Michael Jackson HIStory World Tour
The Michael Jackson HIStory World Tour began in September of 1996, and it continued until October of 1997. This was Michael’s third world tour, and ultimately his last, as the “This Is It Tour” never had a chance to start. The HIStory World Tour consisted of 82 concerts , and nearly 4.5 million people attended.
The tour began in Brunei and was finally finished when the King of Pop did his final concert in Durban, South Africa. During the HIStory World Tour, he touched 44 countries in Europe, 19 in Asia, 11 in Australasia, 6 in Africa, and finally 2 in North America.
This tour ended up beating his prior world tour, which was the “Bad World Tour”, in terms of attendance and dollars. Had Michael not passed away so soon, we would have had his final and last world tour, the “ This Is It Tour “.
