JACKSON 5 Jackson 5: Live At The Forum (2010 UK 38-track 2-CD
album set - 'Live At The Forum' uncovers an amazing chapter from the
phenomenal career of Michael Jackson and his brothers in the J5: their
extraordinary performances from the Los Angeles Forum, recorded in
June 1970 and August 1972 - the first at the start of their rapid ascent
to stardom, the second when they became established icons. These
brilliant shows have not been released in any form until now, the 40th
anniversaryof the 1970 show. 'Live At The Forum' features
earth-shaking live performances of the group's best-known hits: 'I
Want You Back', 'ABC' 'The Love You Save', 'I'll Be There', 'Never Can
Say Goodbye' and more. Single B-sides 'I Found That Girl' and 'I’m So
Happy' and such surprises as album cuts 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
and 'Zip A Dee Do Dah', plus songs not released by the J5 at the time,
including covers of James Brown's 'There Was a Time' and the Isley
Brothers' 'It's Your Thing', are part of the shows. The 1972 show also
features a full, fantastic set of Michael's solo hits, including 'Got To Be
There' and 'Ben', his brand new single at the time, as well as a solo
spot by Jermaine. Each disc includes a bonus track: an unreleased full
live version of 'Mama's Pearl', from the concert that became part of
the 1971 TV special 'Goin' Back To Indiana' and 'I Wanna Be Where
You Are', from the soundtrack album to 'Save The Children' [making
its CD debut]. Presented in a collectors edition digipak picture sleeve
containing with rare photos, collectable postcards of the individual J5
brothers, and insightful liner notes by Duke University professor,
author and unabashed J5 fan Mark Anthony Neal)
