Sounds Like: The Jacksons Live album features a variety of The Jacksons and Michaels hit songs. A mix of songs from both the Jacksons 'Triumph' album and Michaels solo album 'Off The Wall':

'Triumph':

Triumph was a 1980 album by The Jacksons for CBS/Epic Records.
A Platinum follow-up to the group's 1978 album, Destiny, the group shared lead vocals and special solo spots on all nine songs. Lead singer Michael Jackson handles most of the lead vocals himself. The album's hits included "Lovely One", "Can You Feel It" and "Heartbreak Hotel" (which was renamed "This Place Hotel" to avoid confusion with the Elvis Presley song of the same name). The album was a major success and the tour for this project is considered one of the best of the 1980s.
When it was released, the album became the Jacksons' first album to reach number-one on the R&B Albums chart since Maybe Tomorrow in 1971, and went Platinum a year after its release. The group would not release another studio LP for four years after Triumph's release.:

'Off The Wall':

Off The Wall was a smash success. It reached #3 in the Billboard album charts, spending 48 consecutive weeks inside the Top 20, and, according to Billboard, it was the third best-selling album of 1980 in the United States and the best-selling R&B album of the year. Most importantly, the album made Jackson the first artist in history to achieve four Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles from one album. It was similarly successful in Europe, reaching #5 in the UK. Despite its commercial success, Jackson felt the album should have made a much bigger impact. In particular, Jackson was angry that he had won one Grammy Award at the Grammy Awards of 1980, losing the Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording to Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".:
