The All for You Tour was the fourth concert tour by American recording artist Janet Jackson, in support of her seventh studio album All for You (2001). The show was designed by Mark Fisher and Jackson. It was originally scheduled to start in Vancouver, Canada, but due to problems transporting technical equipment across the Canada–United States border, the first show took place in Portland, Oregon. The tour trekked through North America throughout the summer and ended with a final show in Honolulu, Hawaii which was broadcast by HBO.

Although international dates in Europe were planned, those concerts were cancelled following the September 11 attacks. According to Pollstar, the tour was the 8th highest grossing Year-End Tour of 2001, grossing $42 million from 57 shows and grossed over $48 million from 68 shows in North America between 2001 and 2002.{{cite web |url=https://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=1921&cat= |title=U2 Tour Tops Pollstar Year-End List |date=December 29, 2001 |work=T4C |access-date=October 18, 2020 |archive-date=September 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230905075148/https://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=1921&cat= |url-status=live }}{{cite web|url=http://www.pollstarpro.com/specialfeatures2002/2002YearEndTop100Tours.pdf|title=2002 Top 100 Tours|date=January 6, 2003|work=Pollstar|access-date=June 15, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924075632/http://www.pollstarpro.com/specialfeatures2002/2002YearEndTop100Tours.pdf|archive-date=September 24, 2015|url-status=dead}}

The tour is notable for its choreography, theatrics, and upbeat nature. Its most infamous moment is thought to be the highly controversial rendition of "Would You Mind", where Jackson selected a member of the audience and strapped them into a gurney while caressing and fondling them. The show became one of the top-grossing tours of 2001 and saw Jackson performing many of her biggest hits. The show received positive feedback from fans and critics.

Postponements and cancellations

The first scheduled show of the tour, at Vancouver, British Columbia's GM Place, was indefinitely postponed (and ultimately cancelled) when an integral piece of the stage set did not arrive on-time for prior rehearsals and the planned tour schedule. According to a statement released by Orca Bay and SFX Concerts, the shipping problems were blamed on the Canada Day and American Independence Day holidays, on July 1 and 4, respectively; Jackson and her entourage had been rehearsing in Vancouver for about a week prior to the start of the tour. Officially, the tour began anew in Portland, Oregon on July 7, 2001.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/janet-postpones-tour-opener-79213/|title=Janet Postpones Tour Opener|magazine=Billboard|date=July 5, 2001|access-date=November 17, 2021}} The Edmonton, Alberta show was also cancelled because of the aforementioned delivery issues.{{cite web |title=Janet Jackson announces Sept. 4 Edmonton show |url=https://edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/music/janet-jackson-announces-sept-4-edmonton-show |website=edmontonjournal |access-date=November 17, 2021 |language=en-CA |date=June 15, 2015}} That same month, a show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was rescheduled after Jackson chipped a tooth during rehearsals and had to undergo a root canal.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/billboard-bits-janet-system-of-a-down-blind-melon-78827/|title=Billboard Bits: Janet, System of a Down, Blind Melon|magazine=Billboard|date=August 8, 2001|access-date=November 17, 2021}} In early August 2001, Jackson then came-down with the flu, which forced the postponement of shows in Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh. A show at New York's Madison Square Garden which was scheduled for August 21, 2001, was moved to the day before due to scheduling conflicts with the WNBA playoffs.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/janets-nyc-show-bumped-by-wnba-playoffs-78692/|title=Janet's NYC Show Bumped By WNBA Playoffs|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 17, 2021}} She also rescheduled two concerts in Philadelphia and Charlotte in late August 2001, due to a recurring respiratory problem. The singer also canceled a scheduled show in Birmingham, Alabama.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/janet-postpones-two-shows-cancels-another-78555/|title=Janet Postpones Two Shows, Cancels Another|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 17, 2021|date=August 29, 2001}}

Jackson was scheduled to perform a concert in Tampa, Florida on September 11, 2001. However, that night's show was postponed and rescheduled after the attacks happening on that day.{{cite web|url=http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/soundcheck/content/janet-jackson-coming-straz-center-tampa|title=Janet Jackson coming to the Straz Center in Tampa|work=Tampa Bay Times|access-date=2014-10-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141020183611/http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/soundcheck/content/janet-jackson-coming-straz-center-tampa|archive-date=2014-10-20|url-status=dead}} The following two shows in Ft. Lauderdale were also rescheduled due to the tragedies. However, the tour resumed—with heightened security measures—five days later, on September 16, in New Orleans, Louisiana.{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1448863/destinys-child-janet-jackson-pantera-others-cancel-postpone-concerts/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141116194455/http://www.mtv.com/news/1448863/destinys-child-janet-jackson-pantera-others-cancel-postpone-concerts/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 16, 2014|title=Destiny's Child, Janet Jackson, Pantera, Others Cancel, Postpone Concerts|work=MTV News|date=September 13, 2001}} On October 1, 2001, the entire European leg of the tour was canceled, citing travel concerns for Jackson’s entourage following the September 11th attacks. Jackson said in a statement: "My European fans are among the most loyal[,] and I was very excited to share this show with them. I have agonized over this decision. Like most people, the events of Sept. 11 have troubled me enormously[,] and I remain concerned about the foreseeable future. If anything happened to anyone on this tour, I could never forgive myself." The singer was due to play 24 dates across Europe, beginning on 31 October 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden and ending nearly two months later, on 17 December 2001, in Birmingham, England. Additionally, Jackson's planned performance and appearance on the MTV Europe Music Awards 2001, filmed that year on 8 November in Frankfurt, Germany, was also cancelled, a spokesperson affirming: "She [Jackson] won't be coming to Europe at all [this year]".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/janet-jackson-cancels-european-tour-78242/|title=Janet Jackson Cancels European Tour|magazine=Billboard|date=October 1, 2001|access-date=November 17, 2021}} The singer had later considered another European tour the following year, in 2002, although it did not ultimately come to fruition.{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/news/janet-jackson/9468|title=JANET JACKSON CANCELS EUROPEAN TOUR|author=NME.COM|work=NME.COM|date=October 2001 }}

Critical reception

Reviewing the tour's premiere concert at the Rose Garden Arena, Jennifer Van Evra of The Vancouver Sun reported that "the Janet Jackson that crowds are catching on this tour is distinctly different from the one they might have seen in years past. Gone is the 'girl next door' version of Janet—the coy, cutesy, smiling little girl who managed to avoid the glare of the tabloids. Now 35, recently divorced, and with her new album 'All For You' in tow, Jackson is showing off a much sassier, sexier, more confident self."{{citation|author=Jennifer Van Evra|title=Janet Jackson kicks off new tour to deafening cheers: Now 35 and with her new album in tow, Jackson is showing off a much sassier, sexier, more confident self|newspaper=The Vancouver Sun|date=2001-07-10|page=B.7}} Pop music critic Kevin C. Johnson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave a mixed review, believing the concert had similarities to her prior tour. However, he remarked: "Jackson remains one of this generation's most exciting performers in concert, easily triumphing over the likes of young upstarts Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Destiny's Child."{{citation|author=Kevin C. Johnson|title=Janet's Show Revisits 98 Too Often|newspaper=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|date=2001-07-17|page=F.3}} Buffalo News critic Craig Seymour praised Jackson's concert at the HSBC Arena, stating that "her 'All for You' tour marked another milestone for the veteran artist, who proved to be more comfortable with own ability to command an audience than ever before."{{citation|author=Craig Seymour|title=Giving Her 'All' R & B Diva Janet Jackson Assertively Takes Control Of An Enthusiastic Crowd|newspaper=Buffalo News|date=2001-08-11|page=C.5}} According to Seymour the best segment of the night was the "Asian-influenced set for the still-rousing 'Rhythm Nation'." He adds, "She doesn't fight against her image like Madonna, who plays almost none of her early hits during this summer's 'Drowned World' tour. Rather, she attacks her classics with such vigor that the experience is less nostalgic than vitally in-the-moment. But most of all, by embracing her well-liked hits, Jackson does precisely what a superstar is supposed to do: She lets the crowd love her."

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News wrote: "In the splashy two-hour event, which made its New York bow at Madison Square Garden last night, the suspiciously sculpted star ripped through nine costume changes, gyrated around a host of ever-changing stage sets and offered no fewer than 26 songs plucked from more than a decade's worth of hits."{{citation|author=Jim Farber|title=Janet's All For You, If You Can Find Her|newspaper=New York Daily News|date=2001-08-21|page=6}} He criticized similarities to her previous tour, saying: "Unfortunately, the evening also recycled some Janet stunts from the past. A segment that centered on frothy cartoon characters (with Jackson appearing as a sugar plum fairy) mimicked her 1998 tour's equally infantile circus fantasia. An S&M segment, in which she strapped an audience member to a gurney and straddled him, also repeated a similar NC-17 episode from the last go-round." Sonia Murry of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offered a positive review of Jackson's performance at the Philips Arena in comparison to other artists who were also touring at the time. She comments that while "'N Sync had some sharp moves on occasion, it was as if Jackson was plugged in she moved so much, and so well ... While Madonna offered a true visual feast, the 19,000-plus seemed to be satiated with just the art that was Jackson's sculptured body ... And where Sade may offer instant intimacy with one well-placed and throaty high note, well, Jackson did fine just to flex her thin pipes on 'Again', part of her medley of ballads ('Come Back to Me', and 'Let's Wait Awhile' included)."{{citation|author=Sonia Murry|title=Janet Jackson a hit at Philips No sign of recent illnesses during energetic show|newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution|date=2001-09-09|page=E.16}}

Los Angeles Times pop music critic David Massey also praised Jackson's concert favorably in contrast, reporting "Madonna even in her prime was unable to move at the fast and crisp pace of Jackson. ... From the T-shirts to the tour book to the concert itself, Janet outdid the Material Girl by a mile." Massey added, "Eric Clapton sits with a guitar, year after year. Elton John sits at a piano year after year. No one presses them to dramatically alter the type of show they put on. Janet is a dance artist, and to expect something different at a Janet show is outright insane." Jackson's concert was also observed as a direct influence to Britney Spears, saying "Not only is Janet emulated by the type of show she puts on by the current teen-fab (that she made popular years ago), she still does it better than the 19-year-olds."{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-oct-06-ca-53988-story.html|title=Let Jackson's Energetic Beat Go On|work=Los Angeles Times|date=2001-10-06|access-date=2014-03-10|archive-date=2013-11-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110120808/http://articles.latimes.com/2001/oct/06/entertainment/ca-53988|url-status=live}} Robert Hilburn reported that "Jackson's 'All for You' concert is tightly scripted and executed with the precision of a Broadway show—complete with flashy sets, video footage (including a probably inadvertent glimpse of the World Trade Center in one), eight dancers and even more costume changes."{{citation|author=Robert Hilburn|title=Jackson's 'All for You' Concert Misses the Beat|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=2001-10-01|page=F.1}} Los Angeles Daily News critic Sandra Barrera observed "[a]lthough her latest album, 'All for You' fueled the concert, Jackson embraced her past. As the video for 'Let's Wait Awhile' played on a giant screen, revealing a plumper Jackson falling in love amid the New York skyline, wild cheers came from the audience. She flashed back to her Marilyn Monroe-esque phase for 'Love Will Never Do', and vamped with grotesque creatures for 'Trust A Try'. She performed a medley of 'What Have You Done For Me Lately', 'Control' and 'Nasty'. And she sang 'Miss You Much', 'When I Think of You' and 'Escapade' while dressed as a whimsical insect in a "Bug's Life" sort of fantasy land."{{citation|author=Sandra Barrera|title=Giving Her 'All' Jackson Pours Her Heart Into Thrilling Her Fans On Latest Tour|newspaper=Los Angeles Daily News|date=2001-10-01|page=L.11}}

Neva Chonin of the San Francisco Chronicle gave a positive review, stating that Jackson has been performing "for more than 28 years, but she's not slowing down. On the contrary, Jackson's tour supporting her sultry album 'All for You' is a whirling extravaganza of ever-transforming stage sets, amped-up dancing and music strong enough to rise above the furor. There are other attractions, too, such as Jackson donning dominatrix drag to simulate rites of masochistic love with a lucky audience member while singing 'Would You Mind', whose lyrics alone could make the coldest fish sweat. Have we mentioned her fabulous voice? She has a fabulous voice."{{citation|author=Neva Chonin|title=In a whirl|newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle|date=2001-10-07|page=9}} Gina Vivinetto of the St. Petersburg Times, who reviewed Jackson's concert at the Ice Palace, compared it favorably to Madonna's, as "both megastars have taken wildly different paths."{{citation|author=Neva Chonin|title=Let Janet entertain you|newspaper=St. Petersburg Times|date=2001-10-27|page=2.B}} She comments that Madonna's "lengthy show contained precious few hits. Madonna was out to share her most recent artistic vision, whether or not you liked it" and in contrast, Jackson "sweats and shimmies and dishes out every hit she's had over a 15-year career that's bursting with them. Jackson even bunches several together in medleys so you don't go home feeling cheated." Jodi Duckett of The Morning Call stated "the reigning star of the first family of pop kept the sold-out crowd at the First Union Center on their feet for two hours while she sang, danced, vamped, acted and posed, supported by eight dancers and a five-member band, a wardrobe that clung to every nook of her chiseled body and a fluid stage set."{{citation|author=Jodi Duckett|title=Janet Jackson turns up heat in Philly|newspaper=The Morning Call|date=2001-10-27|page=A.43}}

Recordings and broadcasts

The first three songs of the premiere concert in Portland were broadcast live on VH1 as Janet Jackson: Opening Night Live. Along with live reporting from the venue, the broadcast featured clips of Jackson's "Greatest Television Moments". Her performance of "All for You" in Charlotte was broadcast on her brother Michael Jackson's United We Stand: What More Can I Give benefit concert on October 21, 2001.{{cite web|url=http://www.rockontour.net/rfk21.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011116092708/http://www.rockontour.net/rfk21.html|title=rfk21.html|archive-date=16 November 2001}} The February 16, 2002 concert in Honolulu aired on HBO the following night. It was directed by David Mallet. HBO's senior vice president of original programming Nancy Geller stated, "Janet Jackson is one of today's premier entertainers, and a favorite of our subscribers. Her spectacular show continues HBO's tradition of presenting the biggest and best music".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/77726/janet-heads-to-hawaii-for-hbo-live-special|title=Janet Heads To Hawaii For HBO Live Special|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2021-11-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018044459/http://dev.billboard.com/articles/news/77726/janet-heads-to-hawaii-for-hbo-live-special|archive-date=2014-10-18|url-status=dead}} This was Jackson's second HBO concert special; the first being the broadcast of The Velvet Rope Tour. The program also featured never-before-seen footage of Jackson in her dressing room while changing into her costumes during the show. One day prior to the concert, the singer held a dress rehearsal and invited many fans who were waiting outside of the stadium inside. The dress rehearsal was also filmed, with parts being edited into the televised program. Missy Elliott also made a surprise appearance at the televised concert in Honolulu to perform during "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)". The broadcast was watched by more than twelve million viewers, and was later released on DVD and VHS, titled Janet: Live in Hawaii.{{cite web|url=http://blogcritics.org/music-dvd-review-janet-jackson-live/comment-page-1/|title=Music DVD Review: Janet Jackson – Live in Hawaii (Re-Release)|work=Blog Critics|date=2008-03-31|access-date=2014-01-29|archive-date=2014-02-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201231450/http://blogcritics.org/music-dvd-review-janet-jackson-live/comment-page-1/|url-status=dead}}
