I got a chance to watch the upcoming Michael Jackson – This Is It DVD, thanks to a friend who got an advanced copy. The DVD doesn’t hit the streets until January 26th, but you can pre-order it on Amazon today.

I’m a HUGE Michael Jackson fan. My first concert? Michael Jackson at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, for the Thriller tour. It was awesome!

I was planning on making the trip to London to see him at the O2 Arena, and can’t tell you how absolutely devastated I was when he passed – Just weeks before his tour was set to launch.

The DVD draws from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage from April-June 2009, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. Just watching the DVD, you can tell that the This Is It Tour would have set the bar for what a concert tour should be.

We’re blessed to have this footage at all, and is a must-have for any Jackson fan out there!
