Set List
The set list included songs from the Jacksons albums Destiny and Triumph. Despite the name of the tour, the Victory album was not represented. There were also songs on the list from Jermaine's and Michael's solo careers. Songs from Michael's albums Off the Wall and Thriller were both represented. The set list did not include "Thriller" itself because Michael did not like the way the song sounded live.
Jermaine sometimes performed the song "Dynamite" during his solo medley in place of the usual "You Like Me, Don't You?".

- Three concerts, although not in high quality, have leaked: The almost complete second concert of the tour (recorded in Kansas City), the complete show recorded in Dallas, with a special appearance of Eddie Van Halen during the song "Beat It", and a complete show recorded in New York. The New York show is of low, unprofessional quality because it was recorded by a fan in the crowd using a home video camera.
- Jackie Jackson made his first appearance on the tour in Montreal during the song "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)".
- Randy Jackson performed on his birthday in Atlanta.
- During the last show in Los Angeles, most of the Jackson family and friends came on stage to dance with the brothers during the song "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)".

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or list:
“The Bostonians are really, as a race, far inferior in point of anything beyond mere intellect to any other set upon the continent of North America. They are decidedly the most servile imitators of the English it is possible to conceive.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
