In May 1997, during the height of Michael Jackson's career, he was on the HIStory World Tour, promoting his album "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I," which had been released in June 1995. This album included hits like "Scream," "You Are Not Alone," and "They Don't Care About Us," from which the live performance in Munich is taken. The tour was marked not just by spectacular stage performances but also by social commentary, particularly reflected in songs like "They Don't Care About Us," which addresses issues of social injustice. The Munich concert was notable for its energy and was part of a larger effort to connect with fans globally. At that time, Jackson was one of the most celebrated performers in the world, attracting massive audiences and raising important conversations through his music and live shows.
