Michael Jackson

In June 1997, during the "HIStory World Tour," Michael Jackson performed "They Don't Care About Us" in Munich, Germany. This live recording came shortly after he had released the album "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I" in 1995, which was a critical and commercial success, showcasing his evolution as an artist and addressing global issues through his music. The tour itself was notable for featuring elaborate stage productions and significant political and social themes, particularly through songs like “They Don’t Care About Us,” which critiqued social injustice. Additionally, this live performance highlighted his collaboration with drummer Jonathan Moffett, a long-time collaborator who contributed to Jackson's energetic performances, enhancing the overall spectacle of his concerts during this period. Jackson's engagement with world issues through his art during his live shows set a powerful tone for his legacy as an artist committed to social change.
