The nine month international trek saw concerts in the United States, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. It began in the United States in March, 1990 and continued through November, 1990 where it came to a close in Brazil. Songs performed during the set list of the tour were divided evenly between Jackson's third and fourth studio albums-each concert began with "Control" (1986) and ended with "Rhythm Nation" (1989). Noting performances placed greater emphasis on theatricality over vocal prowess, the tour received numerous stellar reviews based on Jackson's showmanship, choreography, and socially conscious message, drawing frequent comparison to pop icons Prince and her brother Michael Jackson. With an attendance of over two million patrons and ticket sales grossing over $28 million dollars in the United States alone, the Rhythm Nation World Tour remains the most successful debut concert tour by a recording artist. |
