First Leg Image File history File links Question_book-3. ...

• A granddaughter of Emperor Hirohito attended the first concert in Tokyo, 1987.
• Michael had performed a record breaking 14 sold-out concerts in three cities in Japan - Tokyo, Osaka and Yokohama. Of these 14 concerts, 3 of them were held at the Korakuen Stadium in Tokyo. It was later named the Tokyo Dome in 1988 by the time Jackson performed 9 more sold-out concerts there in December 1988 during the second leg.
• It was reported that Jackson received $4.5 million for each of the 14 concerts in Japan. It was also reported that during the United Kingdom tour in 1988, Jackson earned £16 million, an equivalent of £700,000 per hour.
• The concert in Yokohama, Japan at the Yokohama Stadium was filmed by Nippon TV and later televised in Asia.
• During the concert in Sydney, Australia on November 20th, Stevie Wonder made a surprise appearance on stage to perform "Just Good Friends" with Jackson that appeared on the Bad album. Wonder was also touring at the same time as Michael. This was the only live performance of the song to date (as of December 2007), because the duet part required Stevie Wonder for a performance to work.

• Two weeks before the second leg began in Kansas City, Michael and his band rehearsed in Pensacola, Florida.
• During the second leg, Jackson used his own specially constructed stage, that required several lorries and air planes to transport the equipment. Once fully set up, Jackson would be surrounded by 700 lights, 100 speakers, 3 lasers and 40 mirrors. During the first leg however, Michael used the venue's own stage, hence the much smaller stage space.
• On March 3rd, 1988 Jackson performed a private concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. All the proceeds were donated to the United Negro College Fund. Tickets for the show could not be purchased at regular ticket box offices, as a special lottery system determined who was to receive them. It was also during the private concert whereby Siedah Garrett made a special appearance. During the performance of The Way You Make Me Feel, Tatiana Thumbtzen made a special appearance (who appeared in Jackson's music video for the same song) and also kissed him on stage.
• The concert at Gothenburg, Sweden was scheduled to be held at the Ullevi Stadium, but it was under repair. Instead, the concert was held at the Eriksbergs Shipyard.
• Michael wore two different shirts for the tour. In the first leg, he wore a silver shirt with a bolted strap from around the shirt collar to the waist. By the second leg of the tour he had altered his outfit by adding a zipper to his shirt, and omitting the bolted strap. Instead, the arms of his shirt were covered from the shoulder down with multiple black straps (normally eleven on the right arm, four on the left arm but this varied). Jackson started wearing the zipper at the concert in New York and wore the zipper in later concerts throughout the second leg (with the exception of Kansas City, the first two shows of the second leg).
• On June 16th, 1988 Jackson performed a sold out in Basel, Switzerland. Various celebrities were in attendance, including Elizabeth Taylor and Bob Dylan. While in Basel, Michael met with Mrs. Oona Chaplin, the widow of one of Michael's all time heroes, Charlie Chaplin.
• On the July 16th, 1988 concert at Wembley Stadium, Jackson performed with Princess Diana and Prince Charles in attendance. Prior to the concert Michael had met them both, and Diana told Jackson that her favorite song was in fact Dirty Diana. However in respect for the princess, Jackson took out the song from the concert's set list.
• On August 29th, 1988 Jackson performed in Leeds, England in front of 90,000 fans on his 30th birthday. The fans sang Happy Birthday to Jackson before the performance of Another Part Of Me.
• On September 8th, 1988 Jackson received a special award by London's Wembley Stadium Management for setting a new attendance record, which was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. Jackson performed 7 sell-out concerts (5 in a row, 2 at a later date) that were attended by a total of 504,000 people at the venue. This record had beaten the previous held by Genesis, with 3. Until the demolition of the now old Wembley Stadium, this record had not been beaten since.
• The concert at Aintree Racecourse on 11th September, 1988 is the single largest attended concert that Jackson has performed in front of, with a total of 125,000 attending.
• Contrary to popular belief, Jackson did not perform 'the lean' whilst performing Smooth Criminal. In a magazine edition titled "Moonwalk with Michael: A Step By Step Dance Guide", it informs the reader how Michael 'leaned' on the Bad Tour - to "lean over as far as you can without toppling over, keeping your body straight. Come back up and walk forwards very slowly moving your arms and legs up and down like a robot".
• Michael earned $63 million for 14 concerts played in Japan in 1987, and £16 million for 12 concerts played in the UK in 1988. This is equivalent to $176 million today - from just 26 concerts, and it's uncertain how much Jackson earned from the additional 97 concerts performed for this tour.
