Michael Jackson — HIStory Live in Munich 1997: 4K Remastered (2-Disc Blu-ray)
One of MJ's Most Sought-After Concert Recordings — Restored in HD
The HIStory World Tour was the largest concert tour Michael Jackson ever staged — and the Munich 1997 performance is widely considered one of its absolute peaks. This 2-disc Blu-ray set presents a newly restored version of the original ZDF broadcast in high-quality HD created from a 4K upscale, alongside the rare unedited version of the concert that has long been one of the most sought-after MJ live captures in collector circles.
Why This Release Is Historically Important
The footage on this set was originally prepared for an official DVD release that was ultimately cancelled — reportedly because Michael Jackson was dissatisfied with certain vocal elements in the recording. As a result, the surviving materials carry a unique status: they feature alternate takes, unique edits, and possible combinations of footage from multiple performance dates, making this one of the most intriguing and historically significant captures of the entire HIStory era. The cancellation means this material has never received a proper commercial release in any form.
What's on Each Disc
Disc One presents the main feature — the ZDF broadcast version in high-end HD sourced from a 4K upscale of the best available material. This is the version designed for the best possible viewing experience.
Disc Two contains the rare unedited version of the concert. Please be aware that this version is sourced from lower-quality materials than the Disc One presentation — it is included primarily for collectors who want access to the complete extended footage rather than the broadcast cut. The historical value of having both versions in one set is substantial.
Audio Note
The audio is currently AAC 2.0 stereo. The audio mix may be further improved before final release — please contact us before ordering if you have specific audio requirements.
