1996-07-16 Michael Jackson's 1st Brunei Concert July 1996 (news clips)

On 16th July 1996 Michael Jackson warmed up for the upcoming HIStory Tour, by playing a one-off concert in Brunei to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Sultan of Brunei, Sir Hassanai Bokiah - back then the world’s richest man. He spent 15 million USD for Michael to perform. The concert was basically a Dangerous Tour style concert with the same songs and costumes, plus "You Are Not Alone" and "Earth Song" added. The concert took place inside the Sultan’s Jerudong Park Garden, a Disney-style theme park where admission and all the rides were free. Admission to the concert was free as well, and around 60,000 fans packed into the park to attend the two hour show.

Back then (pre-internet) the news about this came out of the blue for most fans... suddenly you hear "yesterday Michael Jackson performed a concert"... whaaaat?? While you were actually busy slowly building up your excitement for the upcoming HIStory Tour concerts in September. 😅

I've been living with AIDS for many years, but 1996 was definitely the best.
