Jackson explained his sole reason for touring once more was to raise funds for his newly formed Heal the World Foundation to aid children and the environment.
[7] It was revealed that Jackson planned to perform across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia, with no dates in the United States or Canada.
[8] In June 1992, a Russian Antonov AN-124 cargo jet, then the world's largest operating airplane, was booked to transport the equipment and stage set from Los Angeles to London for the opening European leg.
Among them was the "toaster" effect where Jackson entered the stage on a rapidly rising catapult from underneath, sending off pyrotechnics at the same time.
During the Cardiff concert performed on August 5, the show was temporarily halted between "She's Out of My Life" and the "Jackson 5 Medley" due to heavy rain, with a message being sent out over the speakers.
Between the two legs of the tour, Jackson performed a brief but very widely seen and highly acclaimed concert at the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show on January 31, 1993.
[15] The 1993 leg of the tour started in Bangkok, Thailand on August 24, the same day that a child sexual abuse accusation against Jackson was made public.
It was during a time when Jackson felt very alone, far away from his family and friends, yet every night, throughout his tours, fans would stay by his hotel and support him.
The mini-show was hosted by Sonya Saul and had six 15-minute mini-episodes of concerts in Munich, Werchter, Dublin, Stockholm, Hamburg, Cardiff, London, Leeds, Berlin, Oviedo, and Madrid.
Performances include "Billie Jean", "Black or White", "Jam", "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", and "Will You Be There".
The concert in Bucharest on October 1, was filmed and broadcast on television all across the world, giving HBO the highest rating garnered in cable TV History, with an alternate version airing on the BBC.
The concert film titled Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour was officially released on DVD on July 25, 2005.
[16] Full concerts at Oslo (July 15) and Copenhagen (July 20) were fundraised for online by the fans and purchased from private owners of those respective concerts, and performances at Bremen (August 8), Buenos Aires (October 12, 1993), Mexico City (November 11) and several scattered amateur recordings have been shared online and can be found on YouTube.
