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:
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
