There are various versions of the footage of the same concert that exist. The first version was broadcast the next day by BBC; following Jackson’s death, this version was rebroadcast on BNN/Ned3. All the footage in this version is from the Bucharest concert. The version that appears on the DVD was broadcast on HBO in 1992, which became the highest audience in the channel’s history for a single broadcast. This version, while mostly having footage of Jackson performing at the Bucharest Concert (some in alternate camera angles in comparison to the BBC version), also consisted of footage from concerts in other locations such as Munich, Copenhagen, London, Leeds, Lausanne, and Lisbon. Also missing were the “Brace Yourself“ video introduction and the “We Are the World Interlude,“ which were included in the original BBC Telecast. The crowd screaming and intro before “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’“ is featured in Jackson’s 2010 song “Behind the Mask“. Reception The concert special set a record for HBO at the time, becoming the channel’s highest rated special.[1] The DVD has sold over three million copies worldwide. (wikipedia)
