On August 16, 1973 the Jackson 5 performed a benefit concert in at the St. Paul Civic Center Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota. The proceeds went to an organization based in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area: the AAMOA (Afro-American Music Opportunities Association), which promotes black music and helps out black artists all over the world.

15 years ago Michael held a concert at Ullevi Gothenburg, Sweden.
About 47.000 people went to the concert, but it was not sold out though...
How is that even possible by the way..?! confused

Was anyone in this forum at the concert?!? Shocked

I was only 6 years old at that time "This Day in HIStory" August 16, 1973 ~ The J5 Performed a Benefit Concert in Minnesota. 1286989689

and had no idae at all that a man named Michael Jackson even existed....and neither could I believe that I would fall in love with him about 8-10 years later... Wink
