    The Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration was a 2001 concert show and television special by
    Michael Jackson. It was staged in Madison Square Garden in New York City on September 7 and 10, 2001.
    In late November 2001, the CBS television network aired the concerts as a two-hour special in honor of
    Jackson's thirtieth year as a solo entertainer (his first solo single, "Got to Be There", was recorded
    in 1971). The show was edited from footage of the two performances. The show was watched by 30 million
    viewers on CBS when it aired later the same year.
    The shows sold out in 2 hours. Ticket prices were among the most expensive ever for an event; the best
    seats cost ,000 and included a dinner with Jackson and a signed poster. The show was choreographed by
    Glenn Douglas Packard and Brian Thomas, who were nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography.
    It was presented by David Gest, World Events LLC, and Clear Channel Entertainment. Jackson reportedly
    earned .5 million for each of the two concerts. The concert's official box-office taking was ,072,105
    for both concerts.
    To some fans, Jackson appeared more disoriented in the first concert, as he only did one short moonwalk and
    improvised the ending of the "Billie Jean" performance. In 2011, presenter David Gest claimed that Jackson
    was on drugs during the concerts in the documentary Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon; however,
    Jackson himself explained that he merely had not rehearsed for the first concert. Contradictorily,
    in his book You Are Not Alone: Michael Through a Brother's Eyes, brother Jermaine Jackson said that during
    this time Michael was taking Demerol, a pain-relieving medicine with psychotropic effects. The show
    attracted numerous celebrities, including basketball players, actors, and other musicians. The two concerts
    were the only times Jackson performed any song from his album Invincible live.
