A high point is the Live at Bucharest DVD, which finds the performer in fine form. After years of witnessing Jackson snagged in the media headlights, all hollow eyes and caved-in nose, it's nice to see the man in his element, standing strong and confident, gliding across the stage. It's hard to overstate his influence as an entertainer: This is the blueprint for the careers of Usher, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, R. Kelly. And yet, the DVD is also about 10 years old (for the life of me, I can't find a date in any press materials), kicking off with "Jam" from the 1992 album Dangerous. The crowd is inconsolable, clawing madly at their faces, sobbing as they sing along. I can't help but think of Michael Jackson onstage a few years ago--hand hysterically guarding his face, a grotesquerie of a human. Fortunately, that tragic figure isn't represented anywhere in this box set, a collection that begs us to remember the time...and forget about the rest.
