Remember everything: Michael Jackson’s first performance in Moscow in archive photos and videos

29 years ago, on September 15, 1993, Michael Jackson performed for the first time in Moscow. She was one of the first Hollywood stars to come to the capital after the collapse of the USSR, and a year ago Samvel Gasparov, who was shocked by the performance of the pop music king in Bucharest, personally organized his tour. He later recalled that the press had said that vodka would be sold at the stadium and that twice the artist would actually perform, but despite all the rumors, Michael Jackson landed in Sheremetyevo three days before the concert. In fact, it seems, everything was against the upcoming show: on the day of its performance in Moscow, it began to rain (and part of the audience refused to go to Luzhniki), and allegedly the “king” himself took it. a prediction that she’ll slip and break her spine. In addition, of course, he knew the situation with tickets and said that he would not perform in front of an empty stadium – and Samvel Gasparov had to get permission from Luzhniki director Vladimir Aleshin to allow the ticketless crowd to gather at the entrance. But neither the bad weather in Moscow nor press speculation prevented this evening from happening – and 29 years ago Billie Jean was still on the air on Beat It and Smooth Criminal Luzhniki. We remember how it was according to archive photos and videos.
