Live at the Forum is a live album by The Jackson 5. It was released on June 21, 2010. The concerts were recorded on June 20, 1970 and August 26, 1972 at The Forum, in Inglewood, California.
The 1970 show was record-breaking show of over 18,000 attending. Only having two albums and a couple of singles out, the band were able to draw such a big crowd. This concert is an example of a very early part of their career.
By 1972, the Jackson 5 were established icons and had seven albums on the Motown label, not including Michael Jackson and Jermaine Jackson's solo albums, which plays a big part in the '72 set. Michael's voice shows early signs of changing, he's still singing in a high-pitched voice but throughout most of this set he's straining to do so, at times screeching to hit the notes he once could sing the years prior.
