<br /><br />Ro Baker’s Man, thank you for posting the LINK to the video of the intro to MJ’s Victory Tour. MJ clearly saw himself as a King Arthur type. And the paintings he commissioned verified this. Thank you for sharing this on the other thread though it was all getting waaay off topic. <br /><br />And this video was uploaded yesterday.<br /><br />
<br /><br />Here’s a less than kind long article written by The Daily Beast on July 15, 1984. So 28 years ago today!<br /><br />
In Kansas City, first stop on the tour that now goes to Texas Stadium outside Dallas (July 13-15), the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. (July 21-23), and Madison Square Garden in New York (Aug. 2-5), Michael presided over one of the gaudiest, most grandiose spectacles in the history of pop music. The show opened with a curious costume pageant involving large, lumbering pastel-colored Muppet-like monsters, a magically glowing sword, and a visored knight in shining armor—King Arthur meets Luke Skywalker. (The knight was Michael, of course.) There were lasers, strobe lights and smoke bombs. There was a spidery mechanical gizmo that nearly ate Michael. (He escaped.) There was magic, illusion, and fireworks—flares and explosives onstage during the show and in the sky overhead to end it.<br />
