Dangerous World Tour
Encyclopedia
The Dangerous World Tour was the second worldwide concert tour by American megasuperstar Michael Jackson
. The tour, sponsored by Pepsi-Cola, included 69 performances to an audience of 3.5 million. All profits were donated to various charities including Jackson's own "Heal the World Foundation
". The tour ran from June 27, 1992, to November 11, 1993. In 1993, Jackson ended the tour due to, as he announced, illness that required hospitalization. The performer became dependent on painkillers, having suffered from dehydration, migraines and injuries.
, Jackson's first solo world tour where he earned $125 million, the star claimed that he would not tour again, and would instead concentrate on making films and records. On February 3, 1992 in a Pepsi
press conference, it was announced that Jackson would be touring again. The announcement coincided with a new deal between Jackson and Pepsi, with a reported $20 million deal to sponsor the tour.
In an interview, Jackson stated, “ The only reason I am going on tour is to raise funds for the newly-formed Heal the World Foundation
, an international children's charity, that I am spearheading to assist children and the ecology. My goal is to gross $100 million by Christmas 1993. I urge every corporation and individual who cares about this planet and the future of the children to help raise money for the charity. The Heal the World Foundation will contribute funds to paediatric AIDS
in honour of my friend, Ryan White
. I am looking forward to this tour because it will allow me to devote time to visiting children all around the world, as well as spread the message of global love, in the hope that others will be moved to do their share to help heal the world. ”
Before the tour began, Jackson and his band (which had changed little since the Bad Tour) rehearsed, where the footage has been leaked onto the Internet. However, the exact date and location of the performances is not clear. The rehearsals included performances of "Remember the Time
" and "Rock With You".
For the tour's design, Jackson was influenced by the uniform worn in the military. For "Jam", the first performance on the tour's set list, Jackson wore two variations of a faux-military uniform. Costumes worn for the performances of "Workin' Day and Night", "Bad", as well as his later HIStory World Tour
, were examples of this. During the first and second legs, the uniform was a grey-green jacket with a one bolted strap which sparkled with multicolour. For the third leg, Jackson wore a black uniform with three gold bolted straps, one going from his collar to his waist in one direction and the other two in another; he also used this costume at the Super Bowl
XXVII halftime show in 1993.
The tour also incorporated several stage illusions.The Dangerous era was considered one of Michael's best. Each concert on the tour ended by a stuntman, Kinnie Gibson, who secretly switched with Jackson as he kneels down a trap hole in the stage, dressed in a full astronaut costume (therefore appearing as Jackson), flying out of the arena using a rocket belt. Each concert also began with a illusion-like stunt dubbed "the Toaster" in which following the ringing of bells and the roar of a panther, Jackson catapults on to the stage through a trap door in the front, sending off pyrotechnics and electrifying the crowd. A similar version of "the Toaster" stunt was used in the beginning of Michael's Super Bowl XXVII Halftime Show performance in 1993. In the first and second legs, the transition from "Thriller
" to "Billie Jean
" was another stage trick. When Jackson walks into two pillars, he secretly switches with a werewolf-masked backup dancer while he changes for Billie Jean. The backup dancer posing as Jackson is placed into a coffin which disappears when dancers posing as skeletons and zombies drape a cloth over the coffin and pull it out. Jackson appears fully dressed for Billie Jean in the upper stage level as it lowers down. The coffin portion of this stage illusion was removed in the third leg of the tour and replaced with the Jackson impersonator and the backup dancers performing an encore of the "Monster Breakdown" (the dance sequence in Thriller
).
" and "Bad", but these were taken out after the eighth concert in Oslo, Norway. However, these two songs were returned for the first four performances in Tokyo, Japan (the second leg).
During the Europe leg in 1992, MTV
was allowed to film backstage and broadcast six fifteen minute episodes on the tour. The show was called Dangerous Diaries and presented by Sonya Saul.
Jackson sold the film rights to his concert in Bucharest
on October 1, 1992 to HBO for $21 million. The deal was the highest ever paid for a live concert. The concert was broadcast live on radio and shown on television across 61 countries, and received the highest TV ratings in the history of the HBO network, in which Jackson was honoured with a CableACE Award
. In 2004, the concert was released on DVD as part of Jackson's Ultimate Collection box set and in 2005, was released as a separate DVD known as Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour
. The footage used on the released version is actually a mixture of footage from Bucharest - The BBC broadcast, HBO live telecast(pay per view) and the HBO TV version, however for the DVD shots of many fans were included to give the show a feeling of hype.
On December 31, 1992 during the New Year's Eve concert in Tokyo, Japan, Slash
made a special guest appearance for the performance of "Black or White". Slash also made a special appearance for "Black or White" at the concert in Oviedo, Spain in September 1992.
, the accusations of child sexual abuse against Jackson was made public. Three days beforehand, a search warrant was issued, allowing police to search Jackson's Neverland Ranch
, Santa Ynez Valley
, California
.
On August 29, Jackson performed in front of 47,000 on his 35th birthday in Singapore
.
During his visit to Moscow
in September, Jackson came up with the song "Stranger in Moscow
" which would be released on his 1995 album HIStory
. It was during a time when Jackson felt very alone, far away from his family and friends, yet every night throughout his tours fans would stay by his hotel and support him.
Some of the later performances, especially the last show Jackson was obviously under the influence of a sedative, perhaps demerol or valium (diazepam) ; he was subsequently treated for addiction in Europe
.
The tour was to last longer, but it was the huge pressure from the child abuse accusations (which was generating huge media and press attention), as well as various health problems and injuries that made Jackson end the tour in Mexico
.
After the tour ended, Jackson voluntarily entered a rehabilitation program. In a taped statement, he credited Elizabeth Taylor
his sister, Janet Jackson
, and his family, for support during the accusations and dealing with his drug addiction. Also, he later reconciled with his sister, LaToya, who had previously denounced him as a child molester.
