Der Jackson-Family-Thread

    Zitat von Lucky

    Und die meinen, die bekommen 40 Shows ausverkauft?? Wovon träumen die Nachts???? :hm


    Das ist Las Vegas.
    Da sitzen in erster Linie Touristen in den Shows, die sich die Show einfach geben, weil es eben eine "Las Vegas Show" ist.
    Soviel Leute wie da tagtäglich durch die Stadt geschleust werden, wird das kein Problem sein.


    Auf der Unity Tour haben sie 2012/13 immerhin 70 Konzerte gespielt, und das in teils größeren Locations. Natürlich waren die über die ganze Welt verteilt. Aber die ganze Welt kommt nunmal auch nach Vegas. Da kannst du auch erfolg haben, wenn es woanders nicht so läuft.

    ^..joa seh ich wie du..in LV is am ehesten die Chance die Bude voll zu kriegen..was passt da rein..ich glaub ich hab bei Britney Spears mal gelesen 2.000 ?...
    ...wenn die das ordentlich auf die Beine kriegen..meinen Segen haben sie...und wir werden sehen...ob sie WIRKLICH die Sache durchziehen ohne Michael mal wieder zu strapazieren...noch fehlt mir da der Glaube..:tatort

    ^ edit: ...es scheint wohl ein Nebencasino in dem Hotel zu sein wo auch Britney Spears ihre Shows gibt... also nicht der gleiche Raum...sie wechseln sich dort mit Meat Loaf ab...




    ...dazu noch dieser LA-Times-Artikel ...der einen meines Erachtens korrekten Blick zurück auf die diversen mehr schlecht als rechten Versuche der Brüder Fuß zu fassen wirft..und ist eher skeptisch....


    The Jacksons headed to Las Vegas for residency
    By Gerrick D. Kennedy

    Britney Spears has just started luring younger crowds to her recently launched Las Vegas spectacle inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. But the pop star is about to gain some new neighbors at a smaller venue nearby.


    The Jacksons have inked a residency deal with Planet Hollywood that will see them perform 40 concerts, promoters for the show announced on Thursday.


    The group was tapped as the next act to anchor the hotel's "RockTellz & CockTails” concert series. They are scheduled to make their debut Feb. 20.


    CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat


    RockTellz & CockTails is pegged as a “high-energy, one-of-a-kind live show” built around a concert and “intimate, personal stories." It sounds like “VH1 Storytellers” tailored for very seasoned acts. The Jacksons will rotate with Meat Loaf, who debuted last fall and returns in February.


    In 2012 -- almost three years after the death of Michael Jackson -- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon announced they would go back on the road for their first tour together in nearly three decades.


    Dubbed the Unity Tour, the 2012 outing was saddled with the sort of headlines the Jackson family has unfortunately long been associated with.


    After the 27-date trek was first announced, 11 stops were canceled and tickets for some performances were sold for as much as 66% off on discount sites such as Goldstar. And their performance at the Greek Theatre came at the height of a messy -- and public -- family spat that culminated with reports that matriarch Katherine Jackson had gone missing. Worse still was the show's poor attendance.


    In an interview with The Times about their reunion, Jermaine claimed the tour troubles were not a result of low demand but, rather, a conscious decision to make time to record the follow-up to their last album together, 1989's "2300 Jackson Street." New material from these sessions has yet to surface.


    Last summer the group helped headline the inaugural BET Experience alongside Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly and New Edition. That performance also came with controversy. The festival was produced and promoted by AEG Live which, at the time, was in the midst of a billion-dollar wrongful death lawsuit from Michael’s mother, Katherine. AEG was ultimately found not liable.


    The Jacksons have struggled to answer one big question: Are they a viable act without Michael? Maybe they will find their answer in Vegas. But even this residency can't escape Michael's glittering shadow as his music and likeness form the backdrop for Cirque du Soleil's "One" at the nearby Mandalay Bay Resort.


    "RockTellz & CockTails presents The Jacksons" will be performed Thursday through Sunday inside the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino from Feb. 20 to April 27.


    Tickets are $54 to $129, with an exclusive meet and greet package available for an additional $400 (not including tickets). Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

    also für meat loaf würde ich - rein wertig - das 10-fache hinblättern. :ja

    aber ja, diese nicht ganz so riesigen räumlichkeiten werden sie wohl füllen können.
    und da sicher auch gäste/fans damit michaels 'geist' ein wenig näher zu sein glauben, wirds schon hinhauen.

    Das hat mich nun völlig überrascht - und ob ich will oder nicht! Wenn das stimmt, was die MFA-Film auf ihrer Website verlauten lässt, dass La Toya für diesen Film "Executive Producer" war, Respekt. Hat mich überrascht - aber nie von diesem Film vorher gehört:

    Jackie Jackson talks ‘Rocktellz & Cocktails’ run at Planet Hollywood

    Jackie, Tito and Marlon Jackson arrive at the red carpet for Cirque du Soleil’s “Michael Jackson One” at Mandalay Bay on Saturday, June 29, 2013.

    It’s inevitable that whenever the four remaining Jackson brothers perform, they will always be asked about the fifth brother, the missing Michael. Until now, the Jacksons have kept tight-lipped about their sibling, who broke away from the brothers to go solo and became the world’s top pop prince.


    But when Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito debut their “Rocktellz & Cocktails” residency show at Planet Hollywood on Feb. 20, audiences will hear secret stories about Michael.


    Don’t expect them to address the tabloid tales that followed the youngest Jackson even after his death on June 25, 2009. They treasure his memory too much to spoil the good times they shared with him on tour.


    However, there will be fascinating — and candid — never-before-told stories as part of the song-and-dance spectacle. Rehearsals have been underway in Los Angeles, and the brothers are trying to trim too much material, too many stories, too much music into a fast-moving, high-energy 90-minute show.


    Now that they are getting ready to start final rehearsals here in Las Vegas, they have begun talking about how the show and the stories are coming together. I spoke with Jackie Jackson, who lives here in Las Vegas.


    So, first, how are rehearsals going?


    Oh, they’re going great, man. We’re just trying to put the songs together with the storytelling. You can’t tell too many stories because you don’t want to bore the audiences with long storytelling. They come to hear good music, as well, so we’ve got to make sure we balance the two.


    Where does the show start in terms of your early lives? Back in Gary, Ind.?


    Yes, back there with the music of “I Want You Back” and “ABC.” That’s how it started. You’ll hear both of those, along with “I’ll Be There.”


    I’ve heard that your brothers and you are in the middle of recording a new album at the same time you’re getting this show ready.


    Yes, that’s correct. The good thing about it is all the brothers will be here in town for the run of the show, so we’re getting set up to get a lot of work done and record the tracks right here in Las Vegas.


    How do you all feel about re-creating this extraordinary journey that you all took?


    We’re so excited about this show in Las Vegas. We played here a while back, more than 20 years ago, with the whole family. So a lot of memories come flooding back. We can’t wait to come back to a Las Vegas stage. Every time we walk into rehearsals and you’re back together with your brothers and you start singing some of the songs, we all have different memories.


    We’re trying to decide which songs we’re going to do and which stories to tell because there are so many. Trying to fit all these songs into a 90-minute show is the most challenging part of putting the show together. We’ll just give the audiences the best songs that we can.


    There are so many, Robin. You know what, we will have to do a version of them all or hook some of them onto others so we can take ourselves and the audience back down memory lane.


    Now obviously you’re going to have to tell some stories about Michael.
    Nun offensichtlich werden sie einige Stroies über Michael erzählen.


    Absolutely, I can’t tell you everything, Robin; I can’t give it away. I can’t. … (Long pause) OK, it’s going to be stories that people didn’t know about Michael, and they really should hear them. There are stories going back to Gary, Ind., days. Stories when we were all touring. He used to hide under our beds. When Jermaine would have a girl over, Michael would hide under the bed.
    Absolut, ich kann Dir nicht alles erzählen Robin, ich kann es nicht verraten. (Lange Pause). Ok, es werden Stories über Michael sein, die sie nicht über ihn kennen und die sie wirklich hören sollten. Das sind Stories, die gehen zurück nach Gary. Stories wo wir alle tourten. Er versteckte sich unter unseren Betten. Wenn Jermaine ein Mädchen da hatte würde Michael sich unter dem Bett verstecken.


    You are all going to learn something new. We’ve got a lot of videos, too, that nobody has seen before, a lot of great stuff for the show. It’s going to be great. Any time we ask someone in the audience to come see us, we’re going to bring them up onstage. If you stand up and Marlon sees you, he’ll bring you up. I’m telling you right now that if you don’t want to be onstage, then don’t stand up!
    Ihr werdet alle etwas Neues lernen. Wir haben viele Videos, die niemand gesehen hat, viel gorßartiges Zeug für die Show. Es wird großartig. Wir fragen jemand im Publikum um uns zu sehen, wir werden sie auf die Bühne bringen. Wenn Du aufstehst und Marlon sieht Dich wird er Dich auf die Bühne bringen. Ich sage Dir, wenn Du nicht auf die Bühne willst solltest Du nicht aufstehen."

    Did any of you have any hesitation about doing “Rocktellz & Cocktails”? Did you all want to do it and share some never-before-told stories?


    No, no one had any hesitation whatsoever. We were excited about playing Las Vegas, and we’ve wanted to do this for a long time. When producer Adam Steck came to us and asked if we wanted to do it, we all said yes immediately.


    Adam has created this unique format of where you tell stories about and around the songs that we’ve never known about. Did you see it with Meat Loaf when he debuted the concept?


    Yes, I did. I went backstage with him, had a meeting with him, talked with him, and he was enjoying the format and confident that it would be successful.


    So do you like it — telling untold stories, showing private family videos that haven’t been seen before? Are you finally getting to tell the stories the way you want to tell them?


    Yes, for once you’ll get the true versions. There are all the brothers telling stories of exactly what happened. It’s our version of the truth — and not anybody else’s untruths.


    We’re still tweaking the show, cutting it, still playing around with it. We don’t quite have it down to the exact number of minutes. We’ll do that now that we’re moving the final rehearsals to Las Vegas. Opening night is Feb. 20, and that’s not that far away now. Some nights, we’ll alternate with Meat Loaf’s new run.


    We’ll do our shows Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There will be some overlap nights when both shows are on. It’ll be fun to see how that works out. All of us are looking forward to it. We can’t wait. It’s going to be great!


    For the first time, you’ll get the truth of how the Jacksons started. How things came about. Our ups and downs. It’s all Jacksons all the time. The whole focus of the show is high energy, dancing, music and lights.


    Audiences will walk away feeling great, singing our music, and they’ll feel that they really got to know us individually and as a family. We’ll feel good, and I know they will, too.

    The only problem for Jackie Jackson and his brothers in developing a show that looks back at their history through songs and storytelling is there are so many songs and so much story. Rehearsals with Marlon, Tito and Jermaine are a breeze compared to narrowing down the set list and recollections for Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s RockTellz & CockTails Presents The Jacksons. “We’re still working on that. That’s the hardest part to do,” Jackie Jackson said in a late January interview. “We have so many stories and so many songs, and sometimes people want to hear the music and some people want to hear the storytelling as well. We just have to figure out how to make them both happy—tell enough stories but don’t go overboard with stories, and also give them the music they want to hear.”
    To that end, The Jacksons plan to mix up the music and mythology during their 40 shows at the PH Showroom, which kick off Feb. 20. “It’s not going to be the same thing every night,” said the eldest Jackson brother. “The set list is really hard, too, because we have so many songs, and so many fans want to hear those songs, and it’s only a 90-minute show. I wish we could be on for three hours, or even four hours, and we have to fit it all into a 90-minute show plus do storytelling. But it’s going to be good.”
    Jackson, a Las Vegas resident for the past five years, has a history with the city that goes back to the days when his whole family performed at the old MGM Grand (now Bally’s). Judging from his reaction to the gingerly approached subject of whether he’s still the same dancing machine he was when he towered over Michael and Marlon during the early Jackson 5 days, Jackie and his brothers have every intention of knocking fans out with the show’s choreography as well as their own musical chops. The songs will be drawn from their entire history, with nods to Jermaine and Michael’s solo hits. Still fresh from their last reunion tour, The Jacksons can easily draw on any era from their career, and Jackie says whenever they get back together it’s like they’ve never been apart.
    There is one major void, of course. It’s hard to think of “high energy” without thinking of Michael, but his presence will surely be felt by fans while hearing stories of the birth of the Jackson 5, Berry Gordy and Motown, Gladys Knight and Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross, and the road from Soul Train to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For The Jacksons, it’s more than a reunion for the fans. “Once you get onstage with your brothers, it all just comes back,” he said. “We still all love each other. It comes back. That’s where we were all born, on the stage. It feels great to be back on the stage again.”
