The Goin' Back to Indiana television special featured comedians Bill Cosby and Tommy Smothers, singers Bobby Darin and Diana Ross, football players Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier and Ben Davidson, and basketball stars Bill Russell, Elgin Baylor, and Elvin Hayes. It also featured tracks recorded by the Jackson 5 during their May 29 "homecoming" concert at the Coliseum in Indianapolis, hence the show title.[4]

Re-release

In 2001, Motown Records remastered all Jackson 5 albums in a 'Two Classic Albums/One CD' series (much like they did in the late 1980s). This album was paired up with Lookin' Through the Windows (1972).[5] The bonus tracks were "Love Song" and a live performance of "Who's Lovin' You", which first appeared on the soundtrack of the 1992 TV movie The Jacksons: An American Dream.

Full setlist

The TV special and soundtrack consists of multiple in-studio live performances, skits and half of the Jackson 5's concert in Indiana on May 29, 1971. The other half of the live show was omitted, and some songs were also edited upon the release. Over the years, a couple of tracks from the concert have been released (such as "Who's Lovin' You" and "Mama's Pearl") but there hasn't been any official release of their full show from that evening. The setlist was as follows:

1. "Stand!" (Sylvester Stewart)
2. "I Want to Take You Higher" (Sylvester Stewart)
3. "I Want You Back" (The Corporation)
4. "ABC" (The Corporation)
5. "Feelin' Alright" (Dave Mason)
6. "Who's Lovin' You" (William "Smokey" Robinson Jr.)
7. "Mama's Pearl" (The Corporation)
8. "I Found That Girl" (The Corporation)
9. "Never Can Say Goodbye" (Clifton Davis)
10. "Walk On" (Suzanne de Passe, The Jackson 5)
11. "The Love You Save" (The Corporation)
12. "Goin' Back to Indiana" (The Corporation)
