1. This was the "Dancing Machine" concert in the 1970's. They used a revolving stage and at one point, their sister, Latoya, came out and tap danced with the boys.

2. The "Welcome to My Nightmare" tour was also made into a U.S. television special which aired in 1975 and included special effects from the concert, as well as Vincent Price, who reprised his speaking part on the song, "Black Widow" as he did on the album. There were dancers dressed as spiders climbing on a huge spiderweb and tap dancing skeletons. The concert/special included an 8-foot Cyclops and a disturbingly life-like manikin to substitute for the woman being beaten up in "Only Women Bleed." Who was this ground-breaking band?
3. Their Wall of Sound was famous. The audience at these concerts were as interesting to watch as the band and we loved it when "The Music Never Stopped".
