KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pop star Michael Jackson, clad in black leather and moonwalking to the cheers of thousands of fans, kicked off his solo
Jackson began his concert with "Wanna Be Startin' Something," a hit from his 1983 blockbuster *Thriller*. The same song heralded the beginning of 1984's Victory Tour, which also started in Kansas City.
Dozens of reporters from around the world were on hand at 16,900-seat Kemper Arena. Photographers were not allowed to take pictures during the opening minutes of the concert. Lasers, pyrotechnics and other special effects highlighted the performance.
Final sound checks and other stage and equipment adjustments were made yesterday in preparation for the kickoff concert.
Ticket sales were initially sluggish but only obstructed-view seats remained for yesterday's and today's shows. Some scalpers were asking $200 for tickets, which were worth $23 at face value.
"This tour will be considerably different than the Victory Tour." Jackson spokeswoman Maureen O'Connor said. "For one thing, this is his first solo tour. It's his baby and his creation.
"The material he be'l is singing is all his, particularly from his 'Bad' album. And there's no family along on this one."
The 1984 tour also started in Kansas City, drawing about 130,000 people to Arrowhead Stadium for three nights in July. The show featured lasers, colorful explosions and bright costumes. Tickets cost $30 for each of those shows.
