The Dangerous World Tour Review
This concert in
Romania was played on October 1, 1992 in Bucarest. It was taped and aired on
american network HBO but is not available as an official video.
After a couple of
videos on the Jumbtron videoscreen (Brace Yourself) Michael jumps
on the stage and stands minutes staring at the crowd. Then he
takes off his sunglasses and then Jam begins. In
the middle of the song the music stops and his dancers come on
the stage and perform the song to the end. The dancers remain and
they perform Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' very
similar as they did on
The Bad Tour
. After that Michael performs
Human Nature and dances like a robot. On that song he is
supported by a laser show. Then Michael changes his outfit. For
the next song a white curtain comes and you can see the big
shadow of Michael on it. He does a few moves and then the curtain
falls and you he starts to perform Smooth Criminal
with his dancers.He wears nearly the same outfit and does the
same choreography (also the leaning part) as in the video. At the
firecrackers are blow off right on the chests of each of the
dancers and it seems that have been shot dead and Michael walks
over them backstage preparing for the next song which is I
Just Can't Stop Loving You. For this one Siedah Garrett
joins him on the stage. Following this Michael does She's
Out Of My Life and picks a girl from the audience who
comes on the stage to him. Then Michael does maybe his favorite
part of the show. Like on
The Bad Tour
he peforms the Jackson 5
Medley with I Want You Back and The Love
You Save, again with his dancers and the original
choreography of the 70's. The he sings the full part of I'll
Be There. Time for the classicals so Michael starts Thriller
and during the song he changes (like in the video) into a
monster. His dancers are dressed like zombies and they do the
video dance moves. The song ends with V. Price' legendary laugh
and in the last second of it the drum beat starts to introduce Billie
Jean. Michael, wearing again black pants, fedora and
jacket, a white T-shirt and a white glove is on the moving
platform. Back on the main stage he does nearly the same
performance as in
The Bad Tour
. The next song is Working Day
And Night. In the end of this one Michael sits and and
someone puts a cloth over him. The he takes the cloth away - and
Michael isn't under it anymore. He performs Beat It
on the moving stage and does the same moves with his dancers as
in the video. For the next song, his dancers are dressed like
african natives (or somethin' like that). Michael comes, and
sings the first part of Will You Be There, where
he just stands on the stage. Then, during the chorus se seems to
wake up singing the background to the refrain (just as on the
album version). During the spoken words an angel flies slowly
down the stage to Michael. With the last beats of WYBT the angel
wraps the wings 'round Michael. After the Macauley Video Intro
Michael comes on the stage again and goes on the moving stage,
where he peforms the first two verses of Black Or White.
He does it with an unbelieveable energy. After the rap, the music
stops, the crowd screams and seconds later Michael starts the
final part of the song, which ends after a long guitar solo.
Truly one of the highlights of the show. Michael comes again and
sings Heal The World. After the first half of
the song he goes on the moving stage. Back on the stage he is
joined by children and adults. During the final "You and for
me" of the song he goes backstage. He comes back alone on
the stage for the final song, Man In The Mirror.
He does an great performance and great moves. Then, the song is
done, but the music keeps playing (MITM is about 12 minutes long)
and his crew puts Michael into an astronaut outfit. Then he puts
an helmet on.He gets a machine on his back then flies with it
away and backstage. After the firework the show is over.
