The Brad Sunberg Seminar Leak/Theft of 2023

[NeoGardiV8]

Was there an alternative instrumental of Chicago 1945 leak within the files? I read a comment on a video that it was under the name "Brad Sundberg Rhodes", I don't know where to find the laptop files so I can't check that myself. Most I found was this video but the channel is known for posting fake leaks so I'm not sure.

Nope, not to my knowledge.

Ah that's disappointing, I was thinking that maybe we had the instrumental of the 1986 version of Chicago 1945 under our noses this entire time lol.

The C45 version we have now still sounds quite updated.....I'd like to hear the original 1984 demo

According to Steve it is an updated mix he has been working on finishing. So it's likely touched up in various ways, yes.

 

[ChanceToDance]

Yeah I would love to hear the differences, Damien only ever mentioned that the intro and the outro are different. I'm interested to know what more differences are there.

The orignal version used a drum machine, the updated version has live drums. And I think the horns were also added.

I wonder if the original production sounds like something from Victory.....maybe one day we'll get to hear it

Thats fake lol

Thats fake lol

I figured that, I just wasn't sure if the instrumental came from Brad's laptop or not.

According to info, the live drums were recorded by Jeff Porcaro and added in 1986 and the horn section in 2014.

Wait, the drums were from the 80s? I thought they were a fresh add. So if you remove the horns then it's basically an all 80s tune.

I wish we had the multitracks to this bad boy. Don't tell me you do.

 

[MJbr2]

Yep. He had his brother record them back then.

Don't tell me you do.

Ha, I wish.

Ha, I wish.

*We*

 

[Agonum]

Yep. He had his brother record them back then.

And it’s not just any brother, either. One of the greatest drummers ever. Gee, talent runs in that family, I must say!

Word! Jeff is my GOAT drummer.

half a year later, is there a song that you're listening to regularly?

Smart. That way you get up as fast as you can to turn that awful thing off.

Chicago 1945

Unbreakable gets a lot of plays from me. And Michelle Obama.

oh we're talking seminar leaks.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

I still listen to the Someone Put Your Hand Out demo quite a bit, and C1945, of course.

 

[Beano Wild]

such an insane leak, like out of all songs, why was chicago there hahah. on top of that, we acxtually ended off better without Chicago 1945 on thriller 40 as we got it in the end hahah.

 

[Fuzball]

well, all we've got is a posthumous mix of C45. Would love to hear a MJ approved mix, though.

 

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

The fact we got mostly instrumentals and writer's demoes took the wind out of the sails right away.

It's highly embarrassing that they did all this and got nothing even all that valuable. Just 1. It's just not meant to be.

glad about the C45 leak, because the estate would have never released it.

It's Steve Porcaro's fault we never got the song.

And if they did it would be totally unrecognisable anyway.

It's Branca's fault. Both C45 and Victory are on him.

There's nothing wrong with the Xscape formula, or really, it just is a tolerable compromise
Steve didn't want it. Now all we have is a leak of a still half changed version of the song, with no potential for charting or anything.
