"Scream" Sugarfoot DRUM CAM [split screen] - HIStory Tour

Here is rare footage exclusively from my private video archives - NEVER seen before until now. :)
Note: I was the only performer on stage Michael ever gave permission to film using an “iso camera” - which allowed me to capture my drumming during the HIStory Tour. I was blessed he allowed me to do this!!…Some parts came out a bit out of focus due to the smoke from the stage and vibrations....I apologize for this!!…I will continuously post more footage. #HistoryTourDrumSeries

Never misses a beat. Small wonder why MJ trusted you so much. Please keep rummaging thru your archives. This is pure gold.

[@Patrick_Simon_Sanad]

agreed 100 percent... makes my heart dance... thank you Sugarfoot!

[@J-Ren.Ninobla]

1:22 Instead of "The pod doors are now closed, the stage is ready for access.", it said "The pod doors are closed, and it will remain closed forever.". Meaning Sir Sugarfoot's drum cam footage is from the final concert of HWT in Durban, South Africa in October 15, 1997.

[@viniclunc8553]

He's not only playing really tight and on tempo, but also performing on the drums, dancing together with MJ, what a drum show!

[@smoothaction9366]

Oh Jesus! How must it feel to play the Drums in this huge stadium full of people and have the King of Pop right in front of you! I can only imagine! If i could only feel for 1 second what you felt in that moment, I would fly to heaven!!!!

[@LiveMJHighDefinition]

I'm well and truly glad to see you being active on here and on other social media channels. It's absolutely incredible to get a further inside into MJ through someone who worked intensively with MJ for such a long while. Thank you so much for all your efforts, I'm sure we all appreciate it highly! Take care!!

[@djconnerboii4037]

Live mj I watch all your live vids

[@myronhowell3800]

Omg dude when you added that double kick at 3:16 it’s that juice when the groove is feel awesome and you get that extra juice... love the video

[@shawnster2132]

Michael Jackson in bottom right

[@susanhan492]

4:57 The way Mr. Moffett/Sugarfoot stopped with the dancers... It's like he's dancing with them as well but with a different instrument. Mr. Moffett with the drum and MJ with his dance. I want to achieve this much precision and professionalism!!! Thank you so much for sharing your footages from HIStory tour. So glad MJ allowed you to record for all of us to relive and witness everyone's work!❤️

[@kirbyhurst]

This is the greatest youtube video ive ever seen

[@ieattrollsforbreakfast2973]

Could you imagine being part of this music family how it must have felt every time you were out there, and the build up must have been nerve racking lol love these videos they blow my mind!!!

[@CM-00-CM]

I never appreciated the drums on this track until now. Amazing

[@Pje6838]

the chorus is the best..cool 🤘

[@antonmk1244]

Scream is an incredible tune. Dont you think so? This has so much energy and I love the harmonies, sounds, everything. Love your incredible job there, dear Mister Mofett. But you know I'm a fan.

[@chrislaswell5572]

What "'Foot" is doing is extraordinarily difficult. To coordinate the drums with the choreography while still leading the song with the beat and keeping perfect time. WOW! That is magic. Normally a drummer sets the beat and the band follows along. But Moffett needs to to do all of that while still keeping perfect time with the choreography and special effects. The 29 "thumbs down" folks have no earthly idea how challenging this is. Very, very well done sir.

[@sambarot3665]

How can you not smile while performing for Michael. It is a dream come true for many drummers 😁

[@ianschwartz08]

3:06-3:25 love the smile you can see on his face during this part, you can truly tell he was having fun here.

[@guappanlucido7248]

Easily, one of the best drummers who ever lived in modern contemporary POP/ROCK/R&B/FUNK. He's got it all covered with his talent and resume. His 4 count lead-in to start the song epic and shows he's really in control in a packed stadium of maybe 50,000 people. At 2:08 with stick tricks and all, he absolutely becomes the groove and gets the song hot in perfect time before the first verse is even uttered. I am glad they had the drum cam, because even though he produces lots of content on KZbin since MJs passing and there's tons of concert footage over his career with the biggest names in the business, this one video truly shows his commanding presence, musicianship, timing, stagecraft. Masterclass.

[@mlc4050]

Your drumming is so crisp and technically perfect. Michael Jackson was/seemed like a total perfectionist, your abilities definitely rise to the task.

[@paulmarszalek]

No one: Johnatan playing drums on MJ's concert: Look how he smiling there :D Love that! ❤ Greetings from Poland 🥰

[@Lord.Furious]

You're not just a professional and flawless drum player. You're a complete and absolute artist behind those drums.

[@ieattrollsforbreakfast2973]

Cant get enough of this vid, love all the little nuances in your playing killer beat man!!!

[@spidermaxi1079]

3:06 Best part. That rythm is just amazing!

[@ricardogoncalves599]

Man, you made me cry. Congratulations for working with Michael for such a long time. Best wishes from Brazil.

[@sreekumarprs3213]

What an amazing drummer jonathan is,really motivating actions,and his confidence ..

[@PavelAMarin]

This is the last concert of HIStory. In Durban South Africa. Even through the video of MJ at the top is Munich. Great video Jonathan, love you Man!

[@TheLisab56]

Bless you, for standing with him. You are a true friend.

[@jerrypolete5258]

It’s really cool that you’re having just as good of a time as MJ was. You had the best job in the world right there my friend. Playing for MJ is much higher then a bucket list check off.

[@eelee9956]

I wonder why this video makes me cry. That touching and exciting opening. Emotional. Sugarfoot's joyful expression and the cheering sound of the concert hall. I get emotional when I see you so cool. It's such a great performance. If I were there, I would have fainted. ❤

[@naidincena]

this is a new experience!!! michaels concert from a different perspective. I appreciate the upload jm!! 😍💫

[@OrionIsDaBest777]

That hi hat cymbal and the accompanying TINK TINK are so distinct and clear...love it!! Still haven't found a drum cover of Scream that sounds like how Sugarfoot does it!

[@filsolano5465]

What a great performance, not only from Michael, but Jonathan is on point, it’s amazing how great and solid his timing is while using his pads, reflecting on the dance moves and the rest of the Choreography. Every thing is just well executed, great performance. It would actually be funny if Jonathan wanted to mess with Michael and the rest of the dancers and had speed it up quite a bit and have them catch up with him. Being the professional his is that would never happen. I wonder what IEM’s, and metronome he used for these live shows with MJ? Thanks for posting, it’s always a treat to watch and hear Mr. Sugarfoot behind the drums

[@FireLadyLynnEMT-MEDIC]

EXTREMELY FOCUSED ON MICHAEL. SO MUCH TALENT IT IS UNREAL. AND YOUR TRULY HAVING A BLAST!!!

[@ClaudioTV2005]

1:22 DURBAN 1997 “The path doors are closed, and will remained closed forever” Last words for this magical world tour

[@papefei]

Very interesting to see a musician at work during the History Tour. There was so many playbacks during this tour that sometimes I was wondering if the music was in live ? This video is a marvelous answer... I love it

[@SACERDOTISAIRENE]

The band was playing live, that was easy for me to notice. But 80% of the vocals, indeed, were lipped.

[@ferreira25101]

WOW !!! INCREDIBLE VIDEO! ONE OF THE BEST ! I ALWAYS HAD A DREAM OF BEING INSIDE THE BAND AND SEE THE PERFORMANCE THAT MAKES THINGS HAPPEN! I WAS THRILLED ! SUGARFOOT FANTASTIC ! YOU ARE A PRIVILEGED FOR HAVING SO MUCH TALENT AND HAVING TOUCHED WITH THIS MONSTER POP THAT LEFT US SO SOON !!!!!

[@5ub2ero]

Wooooww.... What kind of a feeling is it to back up a legend in front of thousands while he displays his magic?! Monumental!

[@franklindelano3260]

Fantastico, emocionante, um dos melhores bateristas que eu conheci. E ainda ser privilegiado de tocar com Michael Jackson. Parabéns!!!

[@chinggop1]

Wow, raw footage from different perspective. What a bright idea, really that decades later we can watch these today. Thank you Mr Moffet. We're ready for more backstage videos from your archives

[@ashveerramsunder4656]

You, Sir, are a true master of your craft. A massive salute to you

[@willemvdk4886]

That breakdown is pure genius. The way Michael's moves are accented with the drums and percussion. Amazing. LIVE!!

[@Jennifer-cz2if]

Woah seeing these videos gives his songs a whole new dimension, it's like hearing them for the first time. I so wish I could play drums.

[@viniciovalverde6109]

It’s simply Amazing for me to see how much you enjoyed it at all, what a vibe sugarfoot! Obviously you still do throughout those last years.

[@darklordlc]

Your smile is pure joy as you perform. This is amazing.

[@GhxstSim]

One of the most amazing things about MJ recently, I can’t wait for the next videos! Thx so much

[@Metamanco]

you are still a very important element that gave life to michael concerts most people are fixed by the main figure as michael was the icon that sold the show but each of those who made the effects and the persecution of the music given the responsibility that you had to face in each song that you played ... it is amazing and wonderful that after so many years we see your wonderful work that we value a lot who know about you jhonatan thanks for existing

[@RoshyGames]

The way he reacted as soon as a electrical sound effect started was amazing

[@joshcnzl8185]

That snare sound is INCREDIBLE

[@JannemanVaarwater]

Wow!! what a drum-power!! Goosebumbs all over the place!!!

[@stefanh.960]

WOW! I love these split cam footages. It's so insane you actually are the drummer. Man I watched this concert on TV I freaked the fuck out. My wife was there when she was a kid. In Munich. Jesus Christ... And now I can talk to you and let you know how you helped inspire me to learn play the drums. MJ songs are until this day an absolute MUST for me. I love to play them. Once in a lifetime groove.

[@yannisstath]

This is one of the BEST Videos EVER. Gives me chills. So Magic

[@AbadonBelial]

what was THAT feeling, being there, with him on the stage ?????......wow, thank you .

[@ally-mp7cc]

This is probably the best perspective I have ever seen.

[@nanox3djackson]

01:22 El ultimo concierto del HIStory tour grabado desde atrás, oro puro❤🔥

[@jenniferdupree532]

Thanks!

[@ddrummer1821]

Wow, So much responsibility the show was really carried by you, miss any of those elaborate hits and its over!! Much Respect!

[@paulap4675]

I’m not even a musician, know nothing about drums but holy shit I am addicted to watching him. He’s mesmerizing.

[@stephennagy6675]

Always great to watch you in action Jonathan, amazing. Meeting you when you came to Brisbane, Australia was truely an experience I'll never forget

[@msullivan40]

3:56 gets me every time!! 🔥

[@darkseiid]

As a drummer, those audience are a huge nightmare. Your hearing needs to be impeccable to play in front of a massive audience

[@natebrisbane]

This is the coolest thing ever!!!!! Thank you for loading this footage! You are one of my favourite all time drummers!!

[@valderedovieiradesouzafilh6438]

Very, very cool, Jonathan! Please give us more!

[@hugolafhugolaf]

I'll admit I knew very little of Mr. Moffett before his vids started popping in my stream of suggested videos, but I must say, he is a consummate professional. I love his «game face». And man, is he tight. Wow.

[@zaheerkader7426]

Holy crap.. Watching you work is like watching a neurosurgeon operate.. Pure genius

[@masterham4640]

There's a man who's loving life and happy in his work.

[@jared_s2]

the drumming and all the musicians are so good. Michael had the MOVES! and the voice. so smooth!

[@bethcooper1925]

[@AjithAjith-rf6wp]

Jonathan moffet is the king of concert.

[@11fumiko]

Thank you for posting this. I feel like I was in the concert. I was 12 that time when MJ came to my country.

[@cecesheart32]

Yessss I love the live tour vids!!!! They are amazing! I always wonder who was the famous drummer for MJ and Madonna!!! This Moffet Sugarfoot person!!! You’re the greatest!

[@bRadicalmagic1]

Being Michael Jacksons Drummer would be more stress than I'd want to deal with . . . WELL DONE Jonathan ! ! !

[@DoreVibe]

Brilliant! The energy in that place is INSANE! And you sir are one of the main superchargers of that energy! Great to see you havin so much fun man! Pleasure meeting you! Congratulations once again! And thank you so much for sharing this incredible footage with us! Cheers!

[@ThisIsMathu]

I feel guilty of never seen him on stage.. "Pod doors are closed, and will remain closed forever more" wow this hurts a bit.. Beautiful anyway always loved the way you hit those drums thank you for this Sugarfoot

[@samuelpi1670]

Awesome how he never misses a beat.

[@SamTeLoCuenta]

The King of Pop with the King of Drums.

[@poncho4602]

For a 1997 VHS Footage.It Looks Damn Great in terms if Image quality.

[@alexe5683]

Takes a real calm dude to deal with that kind of pressure.everything falls on this man. Has to be perfect. I couldn't.

[@kailraider1307]

maaaan this is one of the coolest thing i've ever seen!!

[@senor.culture_672]

What a nice shot on the last HIStory show.

[@rubbermatress9231]

[@mandisc]

This is a wonderful inside view. Thank you for sharing these moments

[@afipia7]

This is a friggin piece of history right here

[@straittalkn]

Sugarfoot you are THE MAN!!

[@kate_m_k88]

Absolutely killer. Now, don't get me wrong. Michael holds a place in my heart near a dear for personal reasons. However, there is something about drums that opens a door in my soul, lol. I can remember 17ish years ago, being captivated by the high school drumline to the point where I had zero control over the jamming that occurred within me and physically. 😂💀✌️🏽

[@VitorSantos-zc3zx]

Its amazing. I love Scream song. Watch him to play in the batery was superb

[@kristiann102]

Jonathan played and MJ performed! What a great combo :)

[@ricardoperez7605]

The best drumer of all time

[@daftshark]

great! thanks Jonathan & Myra

[@busababe1]

I have chill bumps. This is amazing footage and you are burning those drums up!! 😀 Thanks for videos. Hugs from Alabama
