March 20, 1999 (Germany, Saarland Hall) - “Turn Das”
Jonathan Muirish: What all of us have to remember is the suffering and hardship we went through in World War II. Many countries were torn apart. Germany was reunited again 10 years ago. That’s why Michael wants to hold a concert here. And the reason the other one is held in Seoul is... it’s very important... With this, Michael wants to exchange a message of unity between North Korea and South Korea so that these two countries can be reunited again. And this part is very important—why these concerts are being held. And as Thomas said, they’re performed by Michael and his friends.
Thomas Gottschalk: Amazing!... Thank you.... Michael couldn’t have delivered the message about the unity of these countries any better to everyone. Thank you very much, all of you.
[Thomas Gottschalk shakes Michael’s hand to have Michael leave the stage.]
Thomas Gottschalk (to Michael): I’m glad. It’s truly an honor. Thank you... We... Michael, do you remember “Turn Das”? For bringing... you were with us... A little reminder of the time when Michael was here on ”Turn, Das...“ and sang for us... Then we’ll be back again.
[They show a segment of Michael performing ”Earth Song“. Michael makes brief dance moves in time with the music. Then he goes over to the fans on the left side.]
Michael: I just want to say hi. [He points to the flag.]... Wow... win... win, get the other one... get the other one... hurry... that one... that one [he points to the flag he likes]
[Thomas Gottschalk wants to guide Michael toward the exit, but Michael doesn’t intend to leave yet. He’s still busy watching the fans and their flags.]
Thomas Gottschalk (to Michael): Thank you for being here. Thank you.
In any case, Michael turns back to the fans to get the flag he had pointed to, and he hands “Teddy Licks” that flag and two more flags to Michael. Michael waves to the fans, then shows Thomas Gottschalk the flag he had pointed to.
Michael: That’s beautiful!
Thomas Gottschalk: Yes... thank you, Michael... thank you. Goodbye.
