Now available in a brand-new latest remaster: a 2-CD live album featuring the complete recording of Michael Jackson’s countdown special concert at the Tokyo Dome on December 31, 1992—a highlight from his energetic 1992–1993 Dangerous World Tour!
Timed perfectly to ring in the New Year on New Year's Eve, this special concert is a truly unique and historic performance. As the countdown struck midnight, Michael performed "Auld Lang Syne (Happy New Year)," and later, Slash from Guns N' Roses made a surprise guest appearance during "Black or White," sending the crowd into an absolute frenzy.
This Japan tour marked Michael's third visit to the country, following his legendary runs in 1987 and 1988. It consisted of an incredible nine-show residency at the Tokyo Dome, with this particular concert serving as the grand finale. As the only concert where fans got to count down to the New Year alongside Michael himself, it remains an eternally unforgettable, historic event for fans worldwide.
While it is an arena audience recording, it was captured on a high-quality digital master where the cheers never overpower the music. Although this audio source was briefly released on CD back in the day, it has long been out of print and incredibly difficult to find.
Compared to the original release, this 25th Anniversary Remaster Edition features a newly restored master tape. The audio has been dramatically upgraded, delivering crystal-clear, soaring highs and a powerful, punchy low-end that brings the raw excitement of that night back to life in pristine quality. This latest remaster is an absolute must-listen!
An unmissable special live release for Michael Jackson collectors, this highly recommended title brings back a legendary night after 25 years—available here as an exclusive arrival!
