The Jacksons in Concert
Nearly half a century after first wowing the world, music's most famous family continues to thrill audiences in every corner of the globe. Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Randy — better known as The Jacksons — bring a heap of iconic songs in pop and R&B to fans wherever they play. Backed by a top-flight ensemble of players, the brothers deliver high-energy performances that cover the span of their unparalleled career as recording artists and hitmakers. Audiences can expect everything from buoyant early No. 1 singles like "ABC" and "I Want You Back," to the infectious grooves of "Dancing Machine" and "Blame It on the Boogie," to the anthemic likes of "Can You Feel It?"
The Jacksons Background
The Jacksons' story began in a humble home in Gary, Indiana, where the precocious talents of five young brothers — Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael — first made their mark at regional talent shows as The Jackson 5. Under the direction of father Joe Jackson and Motown mastermind Berry Gordy, the band became one of pop music's greatest sensations of the late 1960s and early '70s thanks to their irrepressible energy and astounding abilities as performers. Smashes like "ABC" and "I Want You Back" made the Jacksons a regular presence on the Hot 100. After their tenure with Motown ended, they'd return to the top of the charts with such disco-era powerhouses as "Blame It on the Boogie" and "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)." The Jacksons' preeminence would continue even after youngest brother Michael attained superstardom and Jermaine had his own solo success. All of the Jacksons — including kid sister Janet — united for the first time ever to record 2300 Jackson Street in 1989. The four eldest brothers came together again in sadder circumstances in 2012 for the Unity Tour, their first concert tour since Michael's death in 2009. Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon continue to perform together worldwide, adding to a legacy that already includes such honors as the Jacksons' star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and their inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999.
It was such an honor to see the Jacksons. I never had the opportunity to see Michael live, but he was there on stage with his brothers in spirit. I hope I have another chance to see them again. What an awesome, surreal experience!
The Jackson's were really, really good. They looked good and appeared to be in great shape. They still have their incredible voices and dance steps in tack. The show was awesome and I would like to see them in another city before the end of their tour!
They are as badd as they were when they were kids...yes no mike but shows still high level...
My parents took me to my first concert at West Side High School in Gary, Indiana to see the Jackson 5 in 1970-I was 8:) I grew up with them & love them. I am in love with Michael & I know he was there during the Unity Tour concert that I attended in Merrillville with my Mom-she is nearly 80:) They have always appealed to an eclectic audience & I enjoyed dancing in the aisle with a diverse following-it was pure joy:) Bless the Jackson family for their many gifts-I feel like family:)
The seats were great! I loved the concert and it is a memory that I will never forget.
It was incredible!!! The Jacksons are the royal family of America and they definitely put on a show! From the costumes to the dance moves to the lighting to the full on singing they did not disappoint!! Everyone needs to see them one last time! :D
The Jackson's still got it. The vocals were good, the dance moves were brilliant,and the band was great.. Of course, they did a tribute to Michael, and acknowledged Randy. The atmosphere was very positive. I and all those around me really enjoyed the show.
