Jackson 5 in Fine “Forum”
The Second Disc is pleased to pass along the long-awaited track list for Hip-o Select’s upcoming Live @ The Forum by The Jackson 5.
This two-disc set, to be released June 22 – almost a year to the day since Michael Jackson passed away – collects two previously unreleased shows recorded at the legendary Los Angeles venue: one taken from a week before the J5 scored their third consecutive No. 1 with their third single (“The Love You Save”), and another just days before Michael turned 14.
The Second Disc can attest, from our ears to yours, that this is some of the best live Jackson 5 material available. Hip-o Select’s reissue of In Japan! (previously only available in said country) was sterilely recorded at best, and captured Michael at a difficult vocal transition period. The material from both these shows is tight and well-arranged (not to mention full of some intriguing covers), and the audience responds in kind.
And rarity hunters have got a few things to smile about over this set: a pair of additional live bonus tracks – one from the concert that formed the basis of the band’s Goin’ Back to Indiana TV special and another from the long-out-of-print Motown live LP Save the Children.
