michael jackson taipei 1993

June 26th, 2009

taipei bIn 1993, I was living in Hong Kong and Michael Jackson was scheduled to perform there. However, that concert was cancelled for some reason and Pepsi had promoted a contest to win tickets to MJ in HK. So Pepsi, very respectably, decided to fly the winners to Taipei. I think there were about 150 people. I was going along as part of FM Select radio. I was also known as a pretty good photographer so the large size glossy magazine called “B” asked me to take some pictures of his concert. I joined photographers who had come from around the world. When Michael appeared I found myself so close that my elbows were on the stage and he was just a few feet away. I had to back up to get a good shot! That concert was..well…one of the best I had ever attended. And being that close to the stage with my camera made me feel like I was caputuring just a quick reflection of one of the best talents the world has ever known! RIP

    Thanks for sharing these. My dad very kindly took me along to MJ’s concert in Taipei. Didn’t realise it was 16 years ago though! RIP MJ.
