I was at the '86 one! I don't remember Animotion being there, but I remember all the others. Miami Sound Machine played in front of Cinderella's Castle, which was the prime performance area with the most visibility. Sly Fox played indoors in that circular cafe/restaurant off of Main St. USA, whatever it was called. Nu Shooz played outside in Frontierland and Klymaxx played outside in Tommorowland - or maybe vice versa.
For those who don't know, the format was such that each act performed a set of about 30 minutes, took a break, then came back and repeated the same set, and this went on all night so that every act ultimately played 6 or 7 sets I'm guessing. Thus once you figured out which acts were playing in which locations you could go back and see the ones you liked multiple times. I was fascinated by Nu Shooz and kept coming back to them, so I probably caught bits of at least three of their sets.
I remember a rumor going around the crowd that Whitney Houston was going to perform somewhere, but that never happened.

CLASS OF '86 RULEZ!!
I recused myself from voting, but I think these results are perfect. The top three are the ones I'd most want to see (again).
1973 is intriguing, however, for Helen Reddy at her peak. I wonder if the conservative Disney organization had any problem with her singing "I Am Woman"

Fantastic history. By the time 1992 came around all acts were on the Tomorrowland Stage iirc
