Description
"The Jacksons - Live" is a live album by The Jacksons, released on November 11, 1981. This album captures the energy and excitement of The Jacksons' performances during their Triumph Tour, which took place in 1981. The Triumph Tour was a significant event for the group, as it marked their return to the stage after a three-year hiatus and showcased their evolution from the Jackson 5 to The Jacksons.
The album features recordings from various concerts on the tour, with the majority of the tracks recorded at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on August 26, 1981. The Jacksons, consisting of brothers Michael, Jackie, Tito, Marlon, and Randy, deliver a dynamic and engaging performance that highlights their vocal harmonies, intricate choreography, and undeniable stage presence.
One of the standout aspects of "The Jacksons - Live" is the setlist, which includes a mix of the group's biggest hits from their early days as the Jackson 5, as well as songs from their later albums as The Jacksons. The album opens with a high-energy medley of "Can You Feel It," "Things I Do for You," and "Off the Wall," setting the tone for the rest of the performance. "Can You Feel It," a track from their 1980 album "Triumph," serves as a powerful opener with its anthemic chorus and infectious rhythm.
The album also features live renditions of classic Jackson 5 hits such as "I Want You Back," "ABC," and "I'll Be There." These songs are performed with a fresh energy, and Michael Jackson's lead vocals are as captivating as ever. The inclusion of these timeless tracks provides a nostalgic element for long-time fans while also showcasing the group's enduring appeal.
In addition to their older hits, "The Jacksons - Live" includes performances of songs from their more recent albums, such as "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "Lovely One" from the "Destiny" and "Triumph" albums, respectively. These tracks highlight the group's ability to evolve with the times and incorporate contemporary sounds into their music.
One of the most memorable moments on the album is the performance of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," a solo hit by Michael Jackson from his 1979 album "Off the Wall." This track, along with "Rock with You," another solo hit included in the setlist, demonstrates Michael's growing prowess as a solo artist and hints at the monumental success he would achieve with his subsequent solo work.
The production quality of "The Jacksons - Live" is impressive, capturing the energy and excitement of the live performances while maintaining a clear and balanced sound. The album was produced by The Jacksons themselves, with Greg Phillinganes serving as the musical director. Phillinganes' contributions, along with those of the talented backing band, help to create a rich and dynamic sound that complements the group's vocal performances.
Overall, "The Jacksons - Live" is a testament to the group's talent and showmanship. The album not only captures the magic of their live performances but also serves as a reminder of their significant impact on the music industry. For fans of The Jacksons and those who appreciate live music, this album is a must-listen, offering a glimpse into the electrifying experience of a Jacksons concert during one of the most exciting periods of their career.
