In 1971, The Jackson 5 performed in New Orleans on April 6th (j5Collector). Almost a year later, The J5 returned to New Orleans to perform there on March 27th 1972. This time, Randy joined the group on stage!
Here’s an article from Right On! magazine (August 1972) with some great candid pictures!
Catching up with the Jackson 5 in New Orleans
When J-5 fan club prexy Steven Manning joined his famous Jackson friends in New Orleans recently, you can be sure he gathered a lot of interesting news for J-5 fans
What did you do for your vacation? Well, I caught up with the Number One brothers of soul in New Orleans on their spring concert tour.
This tour had to be the most exciting and special one for the fabulous five. Just for a start, little Randy Jackson made his first professional concert debut.
In an exclusive statement to Right On!, Randy commented on joining his famous brothers. Randy said, “It’s really nice to be in the group and traveling on the road. I enjoy performing for all our fans.”
It was surely a very special night for the Jackson Five as they opened their sensational show-stopping act with their own original tune, “Brand New Thing.” The screaming and applauding was unstoppable. “The Love You Save,” “Sugar Daddy,” “ABC,” “I’ll Be There,” all those J-5 favorites. It was like listening to a live Jackson Five greatest hits album!
The highlight of this special evening of pure soul was little Randy. After being introduced by his brothers, to sell-out audience, he did a well-choreographed number. Then he stepped over to his bongos and beat out some heavy, funky vibrations which sent the audience wild!
Randy is a welcomed addition to the group. The Jackson Five Plus Randy had a special feeling for the audience. They played to the back row and with such professionalism. One couldn’t help but feel that they were at the greatest show ever seen. Michael, the dynamic marvel of the group, thanked all his fans for making “Got To Be There” such a big hit. Michael did a terrific performance of a few songs from his smash album. He said, “Rockin’ Robin” was a particular favorite of his. He also thanked the audience for making the tune a gold record.
Last, but not least, Jermaine got on the case and sang some of your old-time favorites by himself. To top it off, Jermaine picked this night to introduce his first solo single recording, “That’s How Love Is.” The song is really together and will be released soon along with an album.
The smooth, cool, expertly choreographed show continued, but it ended too soon. As the saying goes, “All good things come to an end.” This is one thing that should have never ended.
Though many groups try to imitate the Jackson Five, this show again proved “They can’t be imitated by other artists.” They are unquestionably masters of their sound and style!
