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’ll set thee to school to an ant, to teach thee there’s no laboring i’ the winter.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
