Janet Jackson concert chronology |
A Special 30th Anniversary Celebration of Rhythm Nation[1] was a concert tour by American recording artist Janet Jackson. The tour commemorates the 30th anniversary of the release of her fourth studio album, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989). It followed the success of Jackson's residency show. The spot dates in the United States were followed by headlining at RNB Fridays Live (Australia) and Friday Jams Live (New Zealand).
Critical reception
[edit]Jon Bream of the Star Tribune stated Jackson still shined without all the glitz. He says, "Jackson unleashed irresistible club bangers, found nasty rhythms and grooves, cooed cuddly ballads, delivered pop favorites and unearthed enough deep tracks to reward the hard-core fans, something that was missing on the 2011 tour."[2]
John Berger (Honolulu Star-Advertiser) stated Jackson's shows in Hawaii were "worth the wait". He went on to say: "[...] Jackson's star power — and a singer, as a dancer, as an entertainer — was as bright as ever Wednesday in the Arena."[3]
