Notes:
- This recording is an awesome effort of the MJ community, who paid a great amount of money to the original tapes owner. Kai was responsible for ripping the cassetes and did an amazing job, so all the kudos go to him.
- He shared 4 versions on the community, here we have the 4th one post tranfer unenhanced.
- Those final rescheduled LA concerts does not feature musical director and keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, so the band sounds quite different.
- Artwork by Kai included

Keep it lossless, share MJ legacy freely!
