If you haven't seen The Michael Jackson film "This is it", you should. It shows rehearsals for his concert tour which he never got to do. It's a great film. Definitely see it on the big screen with the big sound system. Lots of glorious bass. It's great to see MJ at work. Although he was just rehearsing and sometimes only walking through his steps, you could see how precise he is in everything and still looked really cool. I laughed when the director pleaded with MJ to please hold on on when he was testing out the cherry picker for the first time.
It was also really good to see a female guitarist in the band. Seeing girls play band instruments is a little uncommon. I often feel like I'm crashing a boy's club being a bass player. Now you don't all need to write to me and tell me the examples of females playing band instruments that you know of. I know they exist, but my point is, they are a much rarer breed than males playing drums, guitars and basses. Usually if you see a girl in a band they are singing. So good on this chick for making it into the band of such a famous artist.
