In 1968, the latest incarnation of Madison Square Garden opened in the heart of NYC.By the 1970s, the arena was the premier showcase for music's biggest stars.
With the '00s ending and MSG's renovation scheduled to begin in 2010, we have four decades of classic concerts and one question: What's The Garden's greatest show? Each week in November, MSG will give you a chance to vote on shows from each different decade. Last week was the 70’s, this week MSG is asking you to vote for your favorite show at The Garden during the 1980’s.
Though he'd played The Garden with his brothers in 1984, Michael Jackson made his solo debut when the Bad World Tour hit the World's Most Famous Arena for three nights in 1988, March 3, 5 and 6. Be sure to go to MSG.com and vote for Michael Jackson as your favorite show at The Garden during the 80s.
Upcoming Decades to vote on include: 1990’s poll opens Monday, November 16 2000’s poll opens Monday, November 23

Okay, I see what is going on Someone is constantly voting for Culture Club and Whitney Houston at the same time we are voting, which is driving down Michael's vote. He is now in 3rd place The good news is, we have a few more days to vote.
