Site Seeing All Things Michael Jackson

Love this thread! Thnx everyone for your input. In 2015 I visited the house the final scene from thriller was filmed in LA. It was totally renovated, bit they left a part of the veranda untouched which makes it very recognizable as the thriller mansion. Took this picture.

I NEED to go to the Beat It Cafe! Hopefully it will not stop selling the drink because I love smoothies!

If you do go to the cafe you can tell us what's in the smoothie! I have no idea what I would put into a Beat It smoothie.

What is that?

What is that?

Brad Sundberg was MJJ's engineer from Bad until invincible. He organises very interesting events about MJJ's work in the studio. He had an event this weekend in LA with Brian Vibbets, Matt Forger and Brad Buxer, who all worked with MJJ extensively. Figured since you were in LA this weekend, maybe that was the reason nevermind!

What is that?

Those Brad Sundberg seminars are expensive. You won't get much change out of $300 for a full weekend. And that wouldn't include your accommodation costs.

Have you checked out Brad's 7 Songs 7 Stories series from 2021? It was in the lockdown / post - lockdown period. He interviewed several people who had worked with Michael. Brad Buxer, Matt Forger, Michael Prince, Brian Vibberts to name a few. They are really good interviews. Some are an hour long, others only 30 mins.

no I wasn't even a fan in 2021, I became a fan in 2022

No, I just meant that's when he did them - bc of Covid. They're online. Well worth checking out, imo.

if I was able to, I’d visit the pasadena civic auditorium and stand on the stage where michael did the moonwalk for the first time

In 2016 I took a road trip that went through Gary Indiana. The house was the main thing.

Before I went, I found a list online of some of the first places the J5 played - the school, plenty of small clubs, etc

On the same trip I went to the Motown studio in Detroit.

 

[83magic]

I would visit madam tussaud’s in london to see if they have michael’s original waxwork from 1985I wonder if it’s still there?
