THROWBACK VIDEO: HBD Michael Jackson [The Jacksons - Destiny Tour 1979 Live Full Length]

It's been a minute since I've posted a throwback video, and it is a perfect time to get back on track, in celebration of the "King of Pop" #MichaelJackson, as it is his 55th birthday today. 

I came across this amazing video recently which to me really hones in the Michael's gifted talents that sky rocketed MJ into mega super stardom; and an important element never to be downsized which played a major role and influence in MJ's journey and the everlasting impact in music history is The Jackson 5.

This full length concert filmed live in 1979 during The Jackson's Destiny Tour in New Orleans is unfortunately not in the best visual quality - but through the grainy picture and squiggly lines bouncing around, you can still capture just over an hour of majestic talent - these guys are working it! Before lip-syncing aided artists for concert runs, artists had to earn theirs, and did these five brothers ever! 

This concert is best watched in it's entirety!

This performance not only gave me a true appreciation for J5's talents as a collective, but also the bond they must have had as siblings, working together and supporting each other, which is seen when they are all on stage.....There is no way they could have a flawless performance such as this show and not have a intimate bond which only Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy can explain that entertained fans for 18 years. The Jacksons recently wrapped up their Unity Tour in July 2013, and is the first concert tour in three decades and without their brother Michael who passed away in 2009.
