| The Jackson 5 tour chronology | |
The Jackson 5 World Tour was the fifth overall concert tour (apart from their Steeltown Records and unofficial gigs) and first world tour by the American band the Jackson 5.
The tour began on March 2, 1973, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and it is unknown where the tour concluded in late December 1975. The tour was the biggest undertaken by the Jackson 5 during the band's lifetime, with over 160 concerts in a three-year period. The brothers toured the cities of the Americas, the United Kingdom, the Far East (including Japan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea) and a few others,[1] and one country in Africa being Senegal.
Starting in 1974, along with their sisters Janet, Reebie & LaToya, they perform in 11 different nightclub/theater engagements including, MGM Grand, Sahara Tahoe, Mill Run Playhouse, Circle Star Theater and 6 others.
This was the last tour before they toured as six brothers again for the Victory Tour.
Overview
1973
Japan Leg
The brothers arrived at the Tokyo International Airport in Tokyo on April 23 due to the tour originally starting April 25th. They would reside in the Takanawa Prince Hotel. This would be their first time touring Japan. On April 24, the brothers attended a press conference regarding the Tokyo Music Festival. The Japan leg would start on April 27th in Tokyo at the Imperial Theatre as part of the Tokyo Music Festival as a special guest, not a contestant. Before their first show, a rehearsal and soundcheck commenced; The brothers did not rehearse the full set list but only half. The brothers stayed in the Takanawa Prince Hotel the entire tour. Michael would eventually come back to Japan during his first solo tour in September 1987 during the Bad World Tour.

1975
Incomplete shows
Osaka (4.30.73) - Most songs from the setlist weren't performed presumably because of time constraints. Songs include "Skywriter", "Hallelujah Day", "Corner of the Sky", "Happy", "Music & Me", "With a Child's Heart", and just maybe "Rockin' Robin". Superstition is suppose to be duet between Michael and Randy. However, Randy didn't participate in this performance.
St Paul (8.16.74) - The concert ended earlier due to the chaotic crowd.[2]
Indianapolis (8.25.74) - The concert ended 20 minutes early due to unknown reasons. In response, angry fans demanded their money back from the box office.[3]
Show performance
It is a familiar act—the slick choreography is still there along with the soul harmonies somewhat sweetened for broader (that is to say, white) appeal. The song performed were also by and large familiar fodder and, as, usual, stage tricks were kept to a minimum (a little strobe lighting, some dry ice fumes). There was a thumping exit with everybody, group and audience, yelling “party, party,” over and over. - Ian Dove, 1974, The New York Times[4]
This tour was the most high tech tours specifically, for Jackson 5 tours."Skywriter" was performed using chilled fog machines using dry ice under the stage.
