483807, If nothing else, it fleshes out the image of MJ as an artist...

... for me, the best part about it was not the performances, even though a lot of them were cool to watch, but those little moments you point out in between, of Mike coaching the band and the dancers and working out the imagery of the entire thing. It's a reminder that MJ wasn't just a great singer and dancer but an artist and creative visionary who knew exactly what he wanted his audience to hear and see. A lot of us already knew this, of course, but there are a lot of people out there, even MJ fans, who I think presume that while he may have been the greatest entertainer of the last 30 years, he wasn't a true "artist" or "musician." This should go a long way to proving that notion wrong.
