Brasília, Brazil (The Jackson 5 World Tour):

Joseph Jackson, “The Jacksons”, 2004 autobiography in German (translated)

Next day in all newspapers it has been written that Jacksons hardly have not caused a revolt in Brazil.

At last our equipment has arrived from the San-Paulo, but that the concert actually will take place, they believed only when we got out on stage. No matter what, there was a fantastic audience. They shouted loudly and clapped, and to security service had to watch all the time that no one would climb on stage. And certainly, girls fainted in packs.

The fact that they threw stones at our bus, has been completely forgotten. I was very much proud of boys, they have shown an excellent show, despite what they had to go through. After the concert Brazilians treated us extremely politely and attentively. It once again shows, how great the force of music is. If our music has reached their hearts, they become our friends forever.

We have spent lead here 2 days, then we again had to say goodbye. The huge crowd accompanied with us on road from hotel to the airport. Despite of some unpleasant circumstances, we had more of the good impressions of Brazil, and in the end everything was exact the same as in other countries where Jacksons came with performances: with each concert the number of our fans increased.

 

Orlando Souza, fan who attended the postponed concert, blog post (translated)

I remember that for lack of some equipment that stayed in Belo Horizonte and did not arrive in time in Brasilia the show was canceled, causing a great indignation to the presents that stoned the bus of the artists when the announcement of the cancellation and postponement for the other day, because the Jackson Five went to the Gym nonetheless to satisfy those present.

That show had a fantastic performance and I will never forget the moment of the percussion solo done by Randy, when the gym was almost down, Michael Jackson singing divinely together with his brothers was fantastic.
