Audio
The following have been the source of audio recordings that have later been transferred digitally and made available to fans and collectors through the Internet. The recordings from the Rome and Turin concerts were found to be on sale in the United States as double LPs, which angered the tour's managers.

Video
Some concerts were recorded by audience members with video cameras that were later transferred to VHS and onto computers, thus being able to spread to others through the Internet and later on DVD unofficially.

The following is a list of concerts that have been the source of bootleg video recordings.


 * 23/05/1988 🇮🇹 Flaminio Stadium - Rome, Italy
 * 11/06/1988 🇸🇪 Eriksburg Shipyard - Gothenburg, Sweden

Professionally filmed
All concerts were professionally filmed by Nocturne Productions, Inc. which filmed all of Jackson's later tours and private affairs. The concert at Yokohama on September 26, 1987 was filmed and broadcast on television by Nippon TV. A VHS copy of this broadcast was later leaked and shared amongst fans and collectors on the Internet. So far it is the only full concert available to fans in good quality from the tour. Some of the first 14 concerts from Japan 1987 as well as half of the concert in Brisbane on November 28, 1987 were recorded on VHS tape, however these recordings are either in poor quality or incomplete.

There has yet to be an official or bootleg release of a full concert from the second leg.

Video
A number of concerts were recorded by audience members with video cameras that were transferred to VHS and later transferred digitally onto computers, thus being able to spread to others through the Internet and later on DVD unofficially. Most of these concerts are rather poor quality (often due to being old VHS tapes) and most are incomplete.

Professionally filmed
All concerts were professionally filmed by Nocturne Productions, Inc. which filmed all of Jackson's tours and private affairs. Just one concert, from Seoul on October 11, 1996 was commercially released on VHS in Korea.

A number of full, or near-full concerts were broadcast on television. Small parts of other certain concerts (often the opening medley of Scream/They Don't Care About Us/In the Closet) were also shown on news reports around the world.

The following is a list of full or near-full concerts broadcast on Television, or otherwise noted:

First Leg 1996:


 * 14/09/1996 🇷🇴 Lia Manoliu Stadium - Bucharest, Romania

The first full televised concert and also the third concert of the tour. During this concert, several problems occurred with playback, such as in Billie Jean the playback started late. The Great Gate of Kiev introduction was filmed off-screen onto the JumboTron, not a direct feed like the other concerts. The crowd noises are the same as the ones from the Dangerous Tour in Bucharest, but may actually be from another concert or even studio-made, as the Bucharest DVD contained footage from Wembley, Madrid and several other concerts.
 * 11/10/1996 🇰🇷 Olympic Stadium - Seoul, South Korea

During the performance of Earth Song, Jackson, (who was up on a crane) was interfered by a male Korean fan who climbed up the crane just to meet Jackson. Michael held on to the man because he had a risk of falling. The man was then taken away by security after the crane was lowered. This concert was commercially released on VHS in Korea. Before the release of the 1992 Dangerous Tour Concert in Bucharest this was the only commercially released concert.
 * 27/10/1996 🇲🇾 Merdeka Stadium - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The released songs only goes up to Dangerous on the first concert, missing the last 3 songs. Parts from several other songs from the October 29 concert were also released during a news report on TV1000. Because crotch grabbing is considered offensive in Islam (Jackson had been banned from the United Arab Emirates for this during the Dangerous Tour), Jackson altered his crotch-grabbing move in this concert. Televised by ntv7.
 * 09/11/1996 🇳🇿 Ericsson Stadium - Auckland, New Zealand

Last known professionally filmed concert with the Off the Wall Medley. Also the only known performance of Billie Jean with a repeated chorus near the end of the dance sequence. Only a few songs were broadcast from this concert, as well as parts from the concert on November 14. Just a few hours after the latter performance, Jackson married Debbie Rowe in a civil ceremony in his presidential suite at the Sheraton on the Park Hotel.
 * 16/11/1996 🇦🇺 Sydney Cricket Ground - Sydney, Australia
 * 08/12/1996 🇵🇭 Asiaworld City - Parañaque City, Philippines

Televised by two different channels, DWET-TV (Channel 5) and GMA Network. The Channel 5 version fades after each song (there is no intro to Billie Jean), but is in higher quality than the GMA version, to which the audio sounds different.
 * 31/12/1996 Jerudong Park Amphitheatre - Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei

Never televised, but known to exist as with the preceding Royal Concert in July. Along with the latter performance, it is one of the rarest known concerts to exist. Jackson gave copies of the performance private collectors which have kept the footage unreleased; these fans have remained controversial for refusing to share the full concert with the fan community among other issues. In October 2008 a poor-quality VCD copy (also additionally compressed and watermarked) was uploaded onto the internet by a fan in Brunei who also obtained the concert. Video quality was fair and the sound was badly encoded with a low rumbling appearing when low sounds were played. Starting from February 2009, the uncompressed and unwatermarked files are being uploaded, though the sound quality is still the same. Like Malaysia, most people in Brunei are Muslim, so crotch-grabbing was also removed in this concert and is also obscured by camera angles that are different from most other concerts. This concert is also noted for the first verse of Scream being sung live, and live ad-libs in The Way You Make Me Feel. The curtain used in Smooth Criminal was not present during this concert (though it was during the Royal Concert), and the crane for Beat It and Earth Song is not used.

Second Leg 1997:
 * 04 & 06/07/1997 🇩🇪 Olympic Stadium - Munich Germany

Anticipating this to be a satisfactory performance for a DVD or VHS release, Jackson made many changes to the filming of the concert to set this concert apart; more extensive camera angles (including individual crowd shots) were used, and the audio was later remastered heavily to emphasize the percussion and audience sounds. This concert was also an early experiment by Jackson with High Definition cameras. However, Jackson was tired and his voice was sore due to severe laryngitis. The fact that most of the songs were lip-synced and his own disappointment of the performance and the behind the scenes look at the performance cancelled the DVD release. However, the performance was televised extensively in many different countries, and numerous versions exist. The most common version is the one aired by Sat.1, though TV1000, Channel 3 and HBO also exist. Most versions had also been edited with a segment from the concert on August 3, 1997 at Leipzig before the Jackson 5 Medley about a bug on the stage. An unedited version of the Munich Concert from July 4 has the original sound. Two amateur videos from July 6 (one had parts from both concerts) also exist.
 * 14/08/1997 🇩🇰 Parken Stadium - Copenhagen, Denmark

Broadcast by TV1000 and Channel 3. Amateur version of this concert, as well as the August 29 birthday concert exists.
 * 16/08/1997 🇸🇪 Ullevi Stadium - Gothenburg, Sweden

Also broadcast by TV1000 and Channel 3. This concert is very similar to the Copenhagen concert; also the last professionally filmed performance of Blood on the Dance Floor (though the concert in Oslo on August 19 was the last performance of this song). However, all copies of this concert so far have been defective and have suffered from Audio problems. For example, the vocals were accidentally silenced by the broadcasters for the first minute of Scream.
 * 24/08/1997 🇫🇮 Olympic Stadium - Helsinki, Finland

Also broadcast by TV1000. Most versions that have appeared on the internet suffer from audio noise.
