Michael Jackson’s “Another Part Of Me” was never meant to feel like a typical music video. Instead of a studio production, it captured the unmatched energy of his record breaking Bad World Tour, placing viewers right in the middle of one of the biggest concert events of the 1980s. Filmed during his legendary Wembley Stadium shows in London, the short film transformed a live performance into one of the defining visual moments of the Bad era.
Those Wembley concerts represented Michael at the absolute peak of his global fame. Seven sold out nights brought hundreds of thousands of fans together, while the July 16, 1988 performance attracted an audience that included Prince Charles and Princess Diana. The electricity inside the stadium is exactly what makes “Another Part Of Me” feel as powerful today as it did when it first premiered.

Watching the official short film naturally leads to an even bigger question. What did the entire concert look like beyond the few minutes featured in the video? Fortunately, fans do not have to imagine it. The complete July 16 Wembley performance was officially released years later, allowing audiences to experience the same show that helped create one of Michael’s most celebrated live music videos.
