I have the Jackson show on CD. It was a very famous bootleg sold all the time on Ebay in the early 2000's. I love her banter about the name of the town. Her dedication to the park for the teens that died in the fire was touching. I just remembered. All the ticket winners were entered into a drawing to meet Chris back stage. They were giving out 2 winners. I had a panic attack because since I wont twice I had a better chance than anyone to win one of those prizes. But I did not win :( I would've had to do my Willy Wonka "I've got a golden ticket" song and dance to the concert hall. We got to see her tour bus that was beautifully decorated and named "The Challenge" painted on the side. |

They were whisked away, but I did get to briefly say hello to Chris. She wasn't sure what to make of a screaming 13- and 14-year-old. She looked both amused and confused. |

ugh shame she was accompanied by Eddy lol. I remember he wore this awful red leather outfit for those shows, it was so cheesy. although the eighties weren't kind in terms of fashion...even chris wasn't looking her best in that bulky unflattering sweater... You know, looking back now when we met george i don't think i ever asked him anything about that tour. i should have. I wonder what his take on it would have been. he was a font of information and full of great stories and memories. --Lis |

I first heard Got a Hold on Me in snippets, as advertising for the upcoming release of the video. I first heard the full song live on her live concert special. I liked it, thought it was catchy and cute. I was shocked, however, when I got the album and heard the studio version. It was so slick in comparison the earthy live performance.

This is not a concert video but an interesting documentary of that year.

I would have to dig out my VHS tape but my memory is also the 2 singles were not shown in the Country Club concert. However the Country Club concert that showed up on youtube many years later features Love Will Show Us How live in concert. Maybe its there but my memory is it was not there. Got A Hold On Me was most likey performed but they show the video instead.
Here is the Country Club concert and it opens with Love Will Show Us How. Did anyone attend this show or know anyone that did? Unlike you spoiled kids, we did not have MTV or a VCR in 1984. I remember going to video stores and holding the laser disc or VHS tape in my hands and dream of watching it. When I got my first computer in 1999, this VHS tape was my first purchase off Ebay. I had to wait 16 bloody years to see it. For the 40th anniversary I would love for her Entertainment Tonight segment make it to youtube. When her tour started in 1984 E.T. made it the lead feature on their program. They showed parts of her in concert and interviews. Chris had flowers on her mic like the Mirage show. She was also performing live with that side pony tail that she had for promo photos. Clearly they were spicing things up for her big E.T. segment. Everything else shows up on youtube except this. Her band is so good that you would almost think she is lip syncing the song because it sounds exactly like the record. But its truly a live version because it has an extended ending and does not fade out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDQ_TrZPwis |
I had a recording of the band playing the song live. I remember because it was warmer and less slick than the original.
