Today in MJJ HIStory

1972 - The Jackson 5 perform two shows on their first European tour in Birmingham, England.

First UK dates unable to take place any earlier, thanks to stringent British laws are child performers: special dispensation would have been required for young Michael to appear on stage or TV after 8.00pm (unless the given TV appearance was pre-recorded).
'We shall continue trying to bring the Jacksons over,' said a Motown spokesman in 1971, 'but frankly we are not very optimistic. The British laws are far too complicated and restrictive.'

1979 - The Jacksons perform Destiny tour in Richmond, Virginia

1984 - The Jacksons perform Victory tour at Astrodome in Houston, Texas, USA attending 40,000.

1988 - Michael performs Bad tour at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in Irvine, US.
