1992 - Michael Jackson launched his "Dangerous" world tour.
 | The "Dangerous World Tour" kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany. Michael played to a sell-out crowd of 72,000 ecstatic fans, who saw him perform 18 numbers, including 4 songs from his new album. |
Tour covers Europe, South America, Mexico and Asia from June 27, 1992 to November 11, 1993; sponsored by Pepsi-Cola, included 69 concerts to 3.9 million fans: 40 in Europe, 18 in Asia, 6 in South America, 5 in North America. The tour grossed up approximately $125 million and all profits were donated to various charities including the new Heal the World Foundation that was set up by Michael.
Each concert began with a illusion-like stunt dubbed "the Toaster" in which following the ringing of bells and the roar of a panther, Michael catapults on to the stage through a trap door in the front, sending off pyrotechnics and electrifying the crowd.
The transition from Thriller to Billie Jean was another stage trick. When Michael walks into a small space between two set "buildings," he secretly switches with a werewolf-masked backup dancer while he changes for Billie Jean. The backup dancer posing as Michael is placed into a coffin which disappears when dancers posing as skeletons and zombies drape a cloth over the coffin and pull it out. Michael appears fully dressed for Billie Jean in the upper stage level as it lowers down.
During the performance of "Black or White", Michael ran onto the crane and started singing.
The end of the show hit headlines all over the world when "Michael" jet-packs, and flying over the heads of his fans and out of the arena using a rocket belt.
