the MJ & Jenn performances are fun to watch,the crazy costumes but i can see why she is so proud to have played with Jeff Beck. and have him drop his hands off his guitar & point at her after she simply killed it!Jennifer's an inspiration to all musicians & she's still with us,still playing great!
dam to have such a huge tour on the road, and only have to perform 2-3 shows a week is a luxury....Its so expensive to tour that musicians have to do shows EVERY night just to make a profit....MJ had 2-3 days off in between while still making huge profits, what a time ..
She's literally cemented in history, on stage with some of MJ's most iconic performances. In a hundred years from now, people will watch Dirty Diana at Wembley, and there she'll be. Running around on stage with the legend, the King of Pop.
I saw these two most exquisite musicians 3 days ago at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, performing songs from Where You Wish you Were and new songs. It was the most intimate experience you can have in a concert hall.
Will never forget the Bad & Dangerous concerts I attended in Sweden. Jennifer was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. Bless her and her integrity, and her respect for Michael. 🙏
Man I just love Stew! …Every interview he gives from the Sacred Grove, he gets up and starts walking around. Stew’s the kind of guys you have to tie down on a chair if you want him to sit. 😂 …Or put a drumset in front of the chair.
i still love dawgs rag especially the call and response between daryl and david.we had a festival in bakersfield on the bill was newgrass,doc watson,hot rize
Please tell me you're trolling. You must be trolling. I guess it's possible someone can be so monumentally ignorant of his drumming(and drumming in general), but I still believe you're trolling.
Not necessarily that much, because the tour is not necessarily a business in itself, but a part of the whole business of the artist. It might be, that the tour can be considered kind of as a marketing expense in the whole business of the artist. Tour does create revenue, but when talking about such a massive artist as MJ was, it probably wasn't important whether the tour broke even, the investment in the tour would return in some other form. Most of the money anyway is not in touring, back in the day it was in the album sales, not sure how now in the digital era, but even more so in other business deals, such music or the artist persona used in other popular culture products, like commercials, movies, products, and of course the music being played on the radio or on tv. All that is made possible partially by making the artist desirable to the public by for example bringing the artist to your city to perform, in other words by touring. :) For smaller bands and artists the economical side of the tour can be much more important, MJ at the time was an artist that probably had to say no to a lot of business proposals and was still able to make a very good profit as basically a global phenomena.
The profit in the 80s for tours was in the merch + album sales. For a global icon like MJ, 500k a week is like us putting gas in our car, a deductible expense that will generate more profit in ways of music sales and radio spins...Which more than made up for an negative losses...
@@sarppaleffat The tour was absolutely making over 500,000 a week. Didn't you hear Jennifer? They were regularly playing in front of 50,000 people plus. Let's say the Michael Jackson tickets were: $100 dollars (which I am sure they were or maybe more) if they played a 50,000 sold out show, that is 5 million dollars for one night. They were doing that three nights a week. They were no doubt grossing several millions dollars a week.
Good interview. Stewart Copeland along with Neil Peart were two of my favorite influences growing up, but I disagree with him on some of his jazz comments.
I turned down a music student with an afro thinking he’d be down for some jazz improvisation with me, but it turns out he had parents that loved jazz and hoped he’d become a jazz musician. They gave him the best of the teachers, ear training, suzuki method but now he just wants what i had, rote learning and emphasis classical music. Bach to me is what i am rebelling from. Anyone rebelling from jazz is mental. Go seek counseling and learn to separate jazz from your parents. Stewart abuses his power because everything was set up for him and he has no concept of merit. The most entitled-acting celebrity who tries to kill the very music genre he joyfully narrates about in his inauthentic, virtue-signaling documentaries.
"Anyone rebelling from jazz is mental", seriously!? I hate jazz and I didn't grow up with my parents or my culture pushing it on me. I don't have any mental problem, I just don't like it. It is too random and abstract to my tastes. And there are a lot of people like me. Why are there so many jazz fans insulting, belittling and gaslighting people who don't like jazz? I don't see that abusive and narcissistic attitude in many other genres. Why that obsession with imposing jazz on everybody? Don't you realize that it is disrespectful? I would say that you, people who need to belittle who don't like jazz, are the ones with mental problems. In fact, I see many comments from jazz fans in the internet which match cluster B personality disorders such as narcissism or border line. Back off.
I really hope your heath get well, i'm 62 'n your songs are always in my mind, so your records, just can't find " you can be sure", a enormous beauty surprise to my ears recently discover, sorry about my english I'm from Argentina, God bless you, be a good life!
