Michael Jackson’s 1993 Pasadena Rose Bowl performance, which changed the history of the Super Bowl halftime show with just 13 minutes of stage time, is being re-examined through a documentary 33 years later.
Released on the 13th, the teaser trailer for the documentary ‘Spectacle: Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl’ includes previously unreleased footage capturing the preparation process and behind-the-scenes stories of the 27th Super Bowl performance.
Standing before approximately 98,000 spectators at the time, Jackson stood motionless for 90 seconds after appearing on stage to draw roaring cheers. He then performed hit songs such as ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Black or White’.
This performance recorded approximately 133.4 million viewers, holding the record for the most-watched halftime show for 32 years until Kendrick Lamar broke the record last year.
Jackson’s performance is evaluated as a turning point that transformed the halftime show, which had previously been centered around marching bands, into a stage for global pop stars.
The documentary was directed by Bao Nguyen, who directed ‘The Greatest Night in Pop’, and will be released next February via Hulu and ESPN.
