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.

The book Travelling with a King is a good place to start exploring MJJ related locations
I went there yesterday! It still looks the same!
 
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.
 
This looks like the shrine in Munich below the statue of Orlando di Lasso. The Eastern end of Promenadeplatz.

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

"MOONWALKER BENCH

Gary, Indiana, of course! Not only is the Jacksons' original house there, but there's a Hard Rock Casino with an entire room of exhibits about the Jackson family, in addition to other MJ and Jackson 5-related items around the casino. Also, the giant guitar outside is made to look like Joe's guitar that Tito broke the string on as a kid.

"One of the Michael Jackson Hot Spot in Kuala Lumpur will no longer be there.

The iconic Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur will be demolished after years of operation. It has now been confirmed that the hotel, which is also home to Malaysia’s first-ever Hard Rock Cafe, is currently up for sale. The beloved 4-star establishment is reportedly up for grabs for nearly RM700 million, along with the neighbouring land, according to New Straits Times

The King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson checked into Concorde Hotel KL back in 1996 while he was here for his HIStory World Tour concert at Stadium Merdeka. The legend received a very warm welcome not only from the staff but also from fans who gathered outside the building to catch a glimpse of the singer.

After the King of Pop visit, the hotel transformed the suite he was staying in into a full Michael Jackson Suite with renaming it “MJ Suite” and having photos and memorabilia around."
