Michael Jackson & Friends⋱⋮Billie Jean⋮⋰ Live in Seoul 1999

Michael, together with other artists from around the globe performed two charity benifit concerts in June of 1999. Together these concerts raised millions of dollars for three charities; The Red Cross, UNESCO, and The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund. Both concerts were televised, and the final concert was aired globally over the internet! The Korean concert was played at the Chamsil Olympic Stadium, Seoul, Korea to an audience of 54,000 people. Michael arrived at the stadium at 9:30 p.m., creating a lot of excitement in the audience as people noticed his bus entering the backstage area. The concert was almost stopped by the incredible reaction of the crowd trying to catch a glimpse of the King of Entertainment. Michael appeared on stage at 10:10pm in front of a full sold - out stadium to perform his greatest hits medley, much like the 1995 MTV Awards. This medley included the songs; "Dangerous", "Earth Song" and "You Are Not Alone". Michael said a few words at the closing of his "Earth Song" performance, asking for a reunification of Korea and promising to be there when it should happen. The concert ended after Michael's performance with fireworks and a rain of petals on the audience. In addition to Michael, there were approximately 30 other performances that took place during the 9 hour concert.
