In 1984 the Jackson 5 hit the road for the Victory Tour. Nearly two million adoring fans came to see the show. Fans traveled from across the nation to see the Jackson 5 in the flesh.

The crowd absolutely loved the concert, but Michael stole the show. One People review reported that although “the other Jacksons have their moments, Michael seizes center stage and holds it. Resplendent in a silver sequined jacket with a red-and-white sash (one of his four costumes), he leaps into the air, freezes, whips about, drops to one knee and curls into a fetal position.”
