Unseen Magic: Michael Jackson’s May 25 Soundcheck Shows Just How Hard He Worked for Us

Just one month before the world would lose him, Michael Jackson stood in front of his band and let the music do the talking. It wasn’t the glitz or spotlight this time. It was real, raw and honest. In this rare soundcheck from May 25, 2009, the King of Pop is captured shaping every beat and chord for This Is It, a tour that was meant to be his legendary return but ended up being a farewell no one expected.
The video shows Michael with his full band, deeply focused and hands-on during rehearsals. Every drumbeat, every note, every pause was important to him. He checks sound levels, cues the musicians and makes sure the energy is exactly how he envisions it. There’s no dancing or full lights yet, but the fire in his voice and direction is more than enough to give you chills.

When you go from the quiet concentration of the soundcheck to the explosive energy of the song, you realize he wasn’t just performing, he was speaking truth and in a way, that truth still echoes louder than ever.
