Ro Baker’s Man, thank you for posting the LINK to the video of the intro to MJ’s Victory Tour. MJ clearly saw himself as a King Arthur type. And the paintings he commissioned verified this. Thank you for sharing this on the other thread though it was all getting waaay off topic.
And this video was uploaded yesterday.

Here’s a less than kind long article written by The Daily Beast on July 15, 1984. So 28 years ago today!
In Kansas City, first stop on the tour that now goes to Texas Stadium outside Dallas (July 13-15), the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. (July 21-23), and Madison Square Garden in New York (Aug. 2-5), Michael presided over one of the gaudiest, most grandiose spectacles in the history of pop music. The show opened with a curious costume pageant involving large, lumbering pastel-colored Muppet-like monsters, a magically glowing sword, and a visored knight in shining armor—King Arthur meets Luke Skywalker. (The knight was Michael, of course.) There were lasers, strobe lights and smoke bombs. There was a spidery mechanical gizmo that nearly ate Michael. (He escaped.) There was magic, illusion, and fireworks—flares and explosives onstage during the show and in the sky overhead to end it.
