Excerpt from Gladiee’s unfinished Book “9/11 Love Story:

Michael Jackson’s “30th Anniversary Celebration: The Solo Years” at Madison Square Garden, the World’s Most Famous Arena, took place over two unforgettable nights Friday, September 7, and Monday, September 10, 2001. These concerts were more than just performances; they were once-in-a-lifetime experiences that etched themselves into the memories of everyone fortunate enough to attend.

You couldn’t purchase a memory as vivid and electrifying as witnessing Michael Jackson live on stage at Madison Square Garden. By 10:45 that night, the entire arena was on its feet, caught in the spell of Jackson’s magnetic performance of “Beat It.” The energy was palpable as Michael sang, danced, and commanded the stage:

Beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showing how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right (who’s right)

The backup dancers moved in perfect sync, the crowd joined in, singing and screaming in unison, their collective excitement building with every beat. Julia kept stealing glances at Roman, her heart swelling with joy to see him as enthralled as she was. As Jackson traded vocal riffs with the lead guitarist, Julia squeezed Roman’s hand, her eyes conveying the sheer amazement she felt in that moment. The song hadn’t even ended when the crowd erupted in a thunderous roar of appreciation.

Five minutes later, the arena’s 20,000 attendees were whipped into a state of near hysteria as six stunning female dancers took the stage, gyrating to the infectious rhythm of Michael’s latest hit, “You Rock My World.” After a quick costume change, Michael reappeared through a faux door on stage, now clad in a sleek black leather jacket, white pants, and a white V-neck T-shirt. The stage was a labyrinth of camera cables, yet somehow, Michael and his dancers navigated the space flawlessly, their choreography precise and mesmerizing. No one stumbled, no one missed a step, and the performance was captured on film, immortalizing the magic for future generations.

As the song reached its final crescendo, Usher and Chris Tucker joined Michael on stage, sending the audience into an even higher state of frenzy. The music hit its last downbeat, and Michael, exhausted but exhilarated, collapsed to the floor for a brief moment of recovery. Rising to his feet, he looked out at the adoring crowd, his voice booming, “I love you! Goodbye!” before disappearing from the stage.

The entire arena was on its feet, clapping, shouting, desperate for the night to never end. Roman’s hands throbbed from the intensity of his applause, while Julia worried she might lose her voice from all the screaming. But the “30th Anniversary Celebration: The Solo Years” concert had drawn to a close. The star wasn’t coming back, and the house lights came up, signaling the end of a night that would live on in history.

As the crowd slowly began to transition back to reality, shuffling toward the exits, Roman turned to Julia, his eyes wide with awe, “Wow! We were here, at Michael’s last reunited concert for the first time in 20 years with his brothers from the Jacksons.”
Julia shook her head in disbelief, still reeling from the experience. “If I never see another concert, I just won’t care. That was a concert for the history books!” she replied, her voice tinged with the lingering excitement of the night.”
