The Jacksons - Triumph Tour Live in Atlanta 1981

[@dejuanp]

Michael's look in this video was one of his best. He looked like he had a hardcore look like 'ladies ladies, it's enough of me to go around for everybody'. Very very smooth look with the red shirt and the hair was whipping! Speaking specifically of the Off the Wall performance.

[@kskufan]

dejuanp Michael always tried to look his best and damn he was good at it! Is it hot in here!?

[@sweetssweeter2734]

dejuanp .... I agree there's something about those pants that I always thought was sexy.... he wore those types in a couple of their early videos with a sweater or simple shirt... man he could wear a pair of pants!!!... the Off the Wall era was his sexiest look and dress to me..... I especially like when he would wear the tuxedo with the bow tie and flooding pants would he still have the small afro Jerry curl...lol.... man he was some kind of sexy.

[@faizet2]

dejuanp So Sorry 😐, I think 💭 I accidentally deleted my earlier comment. Basically I believe that MJ looked his best on his infamous ‘84 Victory tour when he was at the zenith of his career with Thriller being released just 2 years earlier & all 6 Jackson brothers united on the concert tours.

[@Thomas___]

@@faizet2 nah. His nose was already ruined in 1984. His vitiligo got really pale. He looks different in general. His eyes got tilted downwards and his cheeks got skinny. 1958 to 1981 is the Michael Jackson I know. 1982 to 1988 are my best childhood songs but now that I heard off the Wall, Michael was much better

[@faizet2]

Thomas Bangalter It’s a matter of dispute. Regarding MJ’s music 🎧, Thriller was better than Off the Wall & it was & is the best selling album of all time, winning the most Grammys.

This concert was so exciting! I was so exhausted from screaming and dancing when I left!

Wow plz tell us more!! What do you remember the most about the concert?

[@pfr5332]

@@RudeBoYlove-w3o Listen! Pre- Thriller MJ is my fave! Atl was ready at the airport for the Jacksons! He sang and did so many moves that were natural to him... not choreographed. The J5 team is different 🤩 Listen to the live album the sound that you here at the beginning is those colorful lights slowly raising up before the brothers came out. My heart was already pounding 🤣 Can you feel it - I remember the moment MJ took the mic. The Omni exploded with excitement. At the end of Lovely One the band said "good night everybody." We knew that couldn't be the end because of ... Don't Stop til... - On the live album you can hear a lot of excitement because that was the big song at that time. In Atl Michael came out in the tux with a large green ribbon for the ATL missing and murdered children. That touched my heart. 😍 On the album you can hear the lights coming down after DSTYGE. In Atl people were leaving. The corridor and stairs were full of people. Me, my sister, and our best friends were still in our row (10 from the stage) catching our breath. Then we heard 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4! . For shake your body down people were throughout the building dancing, like a house party!!! Best concert in history!

In my opinion, the Triumph Tour was the best concert that Michael Jackson or the Jackson's ever performed. And the Triumph album to me was the best album.

[@andreamaro2009]

Good argument.

[@Mrazmatmahmood]

Wait, correct me if I'm wrong but I take that to mean you feel the Triumph album is Michael's best album overall, better than some of his solo masterpieces like Thriller or Dangerous?! No. His best tour was the Bad tour, Michael did his best work AWAY from his brothers. They held him back.

[@andreamaro2009]

Mrazmatmahmood It's your opinion, but do not agree.

[@Mrazmatmahmood]

xm11 so you actually think the Triumph album is his best album?

[@Mrazmatmahmood]

xm11​​​​​ You also truly believe the Triumph tour is his best tour despite the fact that from the bad tour onwards his dancing began to go to a whole new dimension and yet he maintained his live vocals. (his dancing was at it's peak during the History tour but he wasn't singing live). Don't get me wrong his dancing was spectacular during the off the wall/Triumph period but his dancing from that period looks elementary when compared to his later career, his live vocals are admittedly on par with his bad tour vocals but the dancing and increased sense of stage presence (and better songs smooth criminal, Billie Jean, man in the mirror) is what puts the Bad tour above the rest, it combines the best of MJ on stage into one.

i always say "Victory" is my favorite tour because of hhis energy. but i see he had energy even before. here, its like pure passion and excitement/joy. in "Victory", he's more intense/fiery. i think "Thriller" made him say he wanted to do his own thing and he used that tour to show he could stand alone. he was clearly on a mission during "Victory"

Two things I noticed about late-era Jackson's concerts: the remaining Brothers, other than Michael, didn't really develop their musical talent, beyond their earlier days together...and #2: the Triumph and Destiny Tours still had Michael singing the majority of lead vocals -- it was ALWAYS a Michael Jackson concert, unfortunately for the musical character of the Bros.
