Well as much as I think this guys insane, I know from being mesmorized at the Victory Tour show I saw he has something cookin'.
This guy is a perfectionist and although he's a weirdo he uses the best musicians and equipment money can buy. For him to even show his face in public, much less do a " Final " tour, I believe we will see some impressive synth and orchestration.
Perhaps Shroomz or Nightscope could go see the show..........then again maybe not.
Like him or not his Victory tour launched Sheryl Crow's career, Patrick Leonard went on to make some great stuff w/ Madonna, and many more people used his ideas to make their performances even better.
I can't even imagine being alone on a stage and pulling off what he did in the Victory Tour.
I have never seen anyone command attention as much as he did, but did see David Bowie work an audience on a similar scale.
I for one will go and see him as I am sure he will do Vegas during this "'Final" tour.
Just look at the Press coverage this guy gets !!
Joke:
Why did Micheal Jackson & Lisa Presley really get divorced...............?
There was a big misunderstanding when he said he wanted kids.....ankyu...ankyuvarymush.

Re: London....The Place To Be Soon.
There can be no doubting that a show of this scale will be a most impressive spectacle. I personally think that it's not necessary to be a fan, per se, of an artist as high-profile as Wacko in order to appreciate the sheer magnitude of the performance; the organisation, preparation, rehearsal, the talent of everyone who is a part of the show... Christ, even the logistics are mind-boggling! It will be BIG.
Reminds of a Justin Timberlake concert I saw on TV. Now, I'm usually the first to decry 'pop stars' as talentless wankers whose only merit is that they happened to go to the Disney Club when they were five, but dude... that was something pretty fucking special - especially (and I'm really struggling to put my personal prejudices aside here) the musical and choreographical talent of JT (and clearly the other people who were performing on stage with him - of which there must have been several dozen).
Is it 'manufactured pop'? Absolutely! But you won't see pop manufactured any better than this, anywhere in the world, and that in itself is an achievement.
Question: How does Michael Jackson know when it's time for bed?
Answer: When the big hand touches the little hand...

Re: London....The Place To Be Soon.
He is actually LaToya.....Micheal's dead.. 
Chriskorff you are exactly right.
JTimberlake, and yes Brittany Spears even have spectacular shows.
While I still remember ELP, Yes and PinkFloyd knocking me in the dirt as a youngster, MJackson's show impressed me as an adult, who thought he'd seen everything.
The thing about guys like Jackson & Bowie, is these new pop stars have emulated such performances as best they can so we can thank the older guys for their contributions, but if my guess is correct MJackson cannot just do another Victory tour again, but something even on a higher level, and being a stage dog my whole life I can't wait to see this spectacle.
He will leave behind a legacy and raise the stakes to a new level ( which I think he will do), or completely fail by being seen as desperate move to generate needed cash to maintain his properties.
If he fails it will be because he brought Tito to the show, who would run around mooching 25 Dollar chips to stay on the Black Jack tables longer.....
I actually believe this might be the show of the century and am looking into the price of a round trip flight and seating for 2. I only need to schmooze some bored rich gal in her 40's who needs a little excitement in her life. I cannot see spending 4000 for this when I could have a 2nd XITE-1, so my work is cut out for me.

Re: London....The Place To Be Soon.
i know he was acquitted but i still feel uneasy about going to seeing a guy alleged to have done the things he's done.
Plus i saw The Cure at the O2 Arena (half hour journey for me if you need a stop-over Jimmy) and can confirm it is a vacuous venue - like all those big ones i guess. i don't think his music is all that either.
