Lollapalooza is here. How much have Indian concerts changed? Rewind with four gigs and someone who's been in the audience, cheering, for decades

Remember the time?

Michael Jackson, Mumbai, 1996

Fans paid ₹5,000 to stand in front, or ₹15,000 for the VIP enclosure, from where Asha Bhosle watched with admiration. Others paid ₹2,500 or ₹1,500. Tickets were sold only through banks until four days before the event, and thereafter at the venue, Rhythm House and Indian Express Building.

The show was part of the HIStory World Tour. After opening performances by Sharon Prabhakar, Noble Savages and Bally Sagoo. MJ came on around 8pm and performed for a good two hours and 40 minutes. He did his famous 'moonwalk'. The set also included Billie Jean, Thriller, Off The Wall, Dangerous, Scream, You Are Not Alone, Stranger In Moscow, Black Or White and They Don't Care About Us.

Some 35,000 people had the time of their lives, but for 15-year-old Piya Thakkar, it was even more special. MJ called her on stage for a quick dance. Wonder if she's got over it.
