LaVelle Smith Jr., YouTube video description

This rehearsals happened two days after Michael Jackson collapsed at the Beacon Theatre. The production thought he still could do the show, but, definitely not. He didn't have conditions because he was suffering from low blood pressure and dehydration.

Some people watched full of this footage and didn't like it (Thriller/BAD). I'm bringing here some glimpses from these performances and also "Dangerous", which Michael decided to conserve as the VMAs version.
