Description:
A Michael Jackson and others signed bass guitar. Any New Zealand Michael Jackson fan will remember the last ever 96/97 History World Tour visit to New Zealand at Ericsson Stadium, on Saturday the 9th of November. The anticipation was huge and the show was an emotional heart stopper. A number of local performers were in line as potential support acts including Wellington band FBI. Although the band was not picked to support the tour they attended the concert and obtained the signatures on this bass guitar of Jackson, and on the reverse the signatures of his backing band. These signatures of Jennifer Batten, (guitarist on the Bad, Dangerous and History tours), David Williams (guitarist on the Dangerous and History tours) and Freddie Washington [Ready Freddie] (bass guitarist on the History tour) are particularly unusual since contractual agreements at the time should have precluded this. Additionally over the intervening years Trina Peach of FBI gained the signatures of Alanis Morissette, Sting, Neil and Tim Finn, and Gray Bartlett.
