Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
For six hours, dinner, studio hire with all the facilities and an experience you can't find anywhere else at any price........I think it seems very reasonable. I'm sure that hiring a large studio must be expensive, just on its own.
I've seen collectors pay more for an item that they might not even unwrap and use. Experiences are the things you will remember all your life, and probably tell your grandchildren about.

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
I'll add another "it was worth it". I wish I could have gone to the part at the end, but I had to work that afternoon. They could organize it a little differently though to focus more on the tracks/components of Bad and definitely more of the GITM part (it looks like it was Bill Bottrell that brought in that melodic line that was very similar to something from some group called suicidal tendencies . . . for anyone familiar with that mild controversy). I wonder if there's a breakdown of Who Is It or SIM somewhere on Brad's computer. That's probably the only thing I would have liked to learn more about.

From Brad's Face book

Thank you to my early ticket-buyers for the Orlando seminar on August 31st. I am working on an extended Neverland segment, and I have another surprise or three up my sleeve for the group. In the meantime, I want to share a photo with you from the 90s. That's me, with much longer hair and several fewer pounds, standing by the ostrich pen at Neverland. The zoo was amazing. Being a "behind-the-scenes" kind of guy, it was always impressive to see how well cared-for the animals were. The handlers were the coolest people, and everything was done right. It's amazing what can happen when a person with a dream surrounds himself with a great team.
I hope you can join me in Orlando.

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
If someone here is going to Orlando seminar, could you please ask Brad if he was in Neverland when MJ recorded with Freddie Mercury?
I watched The Great Pretender again and Freddie's manager Jim Beach sayd, "They got on well except for the fact that I suddenly got a call from Freddie, saying, 'Miami, dear, can you get on over here... You've got to get me out of here. I'm recording with a llama... I've had enough and I want to get out."
I would like to know whether Jim exaggerated or forgot which pet was there, as wasn't Michael known to bring in Muscles to scare people. I would think llama could be a little too big for studio and could wreck the place or break valuable studio stuff
So if possible can someone ask Brad if he witnessed llama in the studio

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
Brad worked with Michael since Bad and they first met during Captain EO. The Freddie Mercury recordings were a few years earlier, so I doubt he was there.

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
Yeah, you are right he wasn't there when Freddie was recording those songs with MJ and it couldn'thave been even Neverland but Havenhurst where the recordings took place.
Recordings were between 81-83, MJ bought NL in 88, and Brad came along 85.
Anyways, somebody could ask Brad whether he ever witnessed Louie or Lola in recording studio

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
Maybe Jim meant Bubbles or Muscles, not Louie the llama (thanks Linda info about Lola).
I doubt Michael brought in this sort of animal:
The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.5 to 6.0 ft) tall at the top of the head, and can weigh between 130 and 200 kg (280 to 450 lb).
Llamas which are well-socialized and trained to halter and lead after weaning are very friendly and pleasant to be around. They are extremely curious and most will approach people easily. However, llamas that are bottle-fed or over-socialized and over-handled as youth will become extremely difficult to handle when mature, when they will begin to treat humans as they treat each other, which is characterized by bouts of spitting, kicking and neck wrestling.
I had a funny image in my head that if it was Louie, Freddie might have gotten spit or kicked or even neck wrestlinged (sp?) by this beast

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
I hope that Brad won't mind my adding his latest FB post here. I was just so pleased to see that fans from so many different countries had been in touch with him, and so glad that the UK is among them. Am keeping my fingers crossed for next year........
It's been a crazy day, seriously. Currently (I am not making this up), we have groups that want to hear my seminar in: Russia, Sweden, Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Germany, Norway, UK, Netherlands and Canada. (Forgive me if I missed any.) As far as solid bookings go, we currently have Orlando in August, Paris in October, and LA next June.
We are about to flood the media outlets of Florida with a press release about the Orlando seminar, hopefully by Wednesday morning. If you are planning on attending the Orlando event, you may want to purchase your tickets soon.
I have also been working on two brand-new segments for the Orlando event: vocal comping and the use of percussion from the Bad album. I can't go into detail beyond that, but I am excited to take you through these.
Thank you for helping spread the word about my seminars. It is so rewarding to know there are so many people who want to go back to the studio, back to the roots, back to what made Michael tick: the music. There are plenty of places to hear garbage, but it's not allowed... "In The Studio With MJ."

This press release has recently been issued and Brad has noted that it can be shared with fan groups:
In The Studio With MJ - Orlando press release - July 23, 2013.
23 July 2013 at 18:58
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 23, 2013
“In the Studio with MJ” seminar comes to Orlando on August 31, 2013.
Orlando, Florida - “In the Studio with MJ” is pleased to present a first-person seminar offering an in-depth perspective on working with Michael Jackson in the recording studio and at his amazing residence, Neverland Valley Ranch. The Orlando seminar will take place on August 31, 2013, at Starke Lake Studios. This will be a full six-hour seminar with dinner included (based on Michael's treasured “Family Friday” tradition of dinner together with the studio team and their families).
Brad Sundberg, a voting member of the Grammys, fills the seminar with music, videos, personal behind-the-scenes stories and photos. It is a very unique opportunity for people interested in the music industry, and in Michael Jackson in particular, to see, hear and learn what it was like to work side-by-side with a true music legend.
"The seminars was born out a desire from Michael Jackson’s fans to know more about how these incredible projects came to life”, says Brad Sundberg, seminar host/presenter. “People want to go back to the music, to where it all began - in the studio. His creative process was unlike anything I have ever been a part of, and if I can give people just a glimpse of what it was like, that's very rewarding. And that same creative nature wasn't just used in the studio; he brought several people together, including me, to build his dream home, Neverland. In it's day, Neverland was one of the most beautiful places you could imagine."
Among other topics, the seminar will detail how songs went from the original demo to the album version. Following that, many of the songs were edited, remixed and restructured for various dance mixes, short films and live tours. Brad will explain and demonstrate how the songs changed and progressed along the way. Sundberg’s primary title with the team was Technical Director, and his journey took him through Captain EO, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory and Blood On The Dance Floor. At Michael’s request, Brad also joined the Neverland Valley Ranch team where he was instrumental in designing custom music and video systems at one of the most recognized homes on the planet. From studio to tour prep to ranch, Brad was there and will take you along for the ride.
In June 2013, Brad presented the “In the Studio with MJ” seminar at Smash Studios in New York City. Attendees comment on their experience:
“In the Studio with MJ” is worth every penny. The most amazing experience. So glad to meet Brad! Go to his seminar. Thrilling!” - Jared B.
“This seminar is a unique and exciting opportunity for fans to get to know Michael the artist, as well as Michael the person. You will never hear his music the same way again!” -Tarin C.
“I cannot thank you enough for all the gems and treasures you shared with us. You have no idea how much it means. I truly liked the pace of the seminar, and the un-scripted flow. You did a fantastic job and made us feel part of that team which created those projects. You made me feel at home and very comfortable. It was like going to a music school, as it was the real deal of how the songs and artistry came about. Thank you! Thank you! And thank you!!” -Gaston F.
“Forget the media circus, forget the fame and fortune that surrounded the name. If you want to get to know Michael Jackson the man and his genius while at work, this seminar is not to be missed. This is a priceless experience that you will never forget.” -Kat C.
“I have discovered a warm-hearted human being with a great sense of sharing and humility. Thank you so much, I will treasure this day in my memory and in my heart forever.” – Virginia R.
In addition to Orlando, In the Studio with MJ seminars are being planned for Paris, Stockholm, Sydney, New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles in late 2013 and 2014.
About Brad Sundberg:
Brad Sundberg owns and operates BSUN Media Systems, a company specializing in designing entertainment systems for homes, businesses, churches, restaurants, etc., with offices in Orlando, Los Angeles, New York and the Gulf Coast of Alabama. His client list includes Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Helen Hunt and Elizabeth Taylor, plus many more across the US and Europe.

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson
In The Studio With Michael Jackson
There are just eighteen days until we present "In The Studio With MJ" at Starke Lake Studios in Orlando! This will be a full-length seminar diving into many of the unknown details of the albums Bad, Dangerous and HIStory. Rare mixes, home movie footage, photos, stories and more.
Additionally, I have many "new" photos of Neverland, and a lot of great stories from the days when I was actively involved in building the ranch. And of course we will share a "Family Friday" meal together, a tribute to Michael's tradition of bringing all of the crew members' families together for a family meal on Fridays during production of the Bad and Dangerous albums.
The countdown is in full swing, and it is going to be a great day. Tickets are still available at Ticketbud; I can't wait to meet you at this one-of-a-kind seminar.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...03639509.25695.128278317346071&type=1&theater
OK, every picture tells a story. This was from 1994, during the HIStory album in NY. That's me, in the Santa suit, and my good friend (multi-Grammy winning) Brian Vibberts is the elf. Michael was hanging out with us also. I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out with Santa and his elf?
We brought in a kid's choir to work on some songs, and it sort of morphed into a full-blown Christmas party in the studio. Brian and I gave out Christmas gifts to the kids, and I think Michael is looking for a mantel to hang his stocking. HO HO HO!
Hear the rest of the story (and some music from that session), and learn what it was like to be in the studio with one of the world's greatest entertainers, and a good friend, Michael Jackson. After 18 years working together, I have a lot of great memories, early mixes, photos and home video to share with you.
"Family Friday" dinner is included with the seminar, and you hear mixes through the EXACT speakers that Bruce Swedien and Michael used for both the Dangerous and HIStory albums. You do not want to miss one-of-a-kind seminar if you can get to Orlando. Paris, France is the next stop in October.
Tickets are still available for the Orlando seminar just 11 days from now!

We brought in a kid's choir to work on some songs, and it sort of morphed into a full-blown Christmas party in the studio. Brian and I gave out Christmas gifts to the kids, and I think Michael is looking for a mantel to hang his stocking. HO HO HO!
Hear the rest of the story (and some music from that session), and learn what it was like to be in the studio with one of the world's greatest entertainers, and a good friend, Michael Jackson. After 18 years working together, I have a lot of great memories, early mixes, photos and home video to share with you.
"Family Friday" dinner is included with the seminar, and you hear mixes through the EXACT speakers that Bruce Swedien and Michael used for both the Dangerous and HIStory albums. You do not want to miss one-of-a-kind seminar if you can get to Orlando. Paris, France is the next stop in October.
Tickets are still available for the Orlando seminar just 11 days from now!

He is coming to Paris in October - I'm sure it'll be less than a thousand dollars to go there from Holland.

If you were coming down the slide at Neverland, this was your view.
We passed 1500 page "Likes" today! If you are new to the page, welcome! My name is Brad Sundberg, presenter of "In The Studio With MJ." I worked with Michael in the studio and at Neverland for a span of nearly 18 years. Periodically I present a very unique seminar giving people a glimpse of what it was like to work with Michael, who is one of the most creative people I have ever met. The seminars dig deep into the production of Bad, Dangerous and HIStory, projects I was personally involved in. Additionally I share some stories and insights about Neverland, which I helped build with a crew of amazingly talented people.
If you were coming down the slide at Neverland, this was your view. The treehouse castle in the back was built to cover all of the electrical panels and my music racks. Michael took the treehouse to the next level and turned it into a castle, which was fully carpeted and had a phone, small TV, chairs, etc. I remember working long days (and evenings) on some ride or project at the park, and running into the castle to call my wife and daughters and say goodnight, as it was a 2-hour drive from Neverland back to my house. The mushrooms and elephant were covered in lights (think Disney Electrical Parade), and we filled them with speakers, so at night the park was alive with lights and music. It was pretty amazing.
In just eight days we present "In The Studio With MJ" in Orlando, at Starke Lake Studios. You will see, hear and learn things you never knew, and it is a lot of fun. Dinner is included, featuring some of Michael's favorites. Tickets are still available. After Orlando, we look forward to seeing our friends in Paris in October. Have a great weekend!

Re: Brad Sundberg seminar, June 29th: Making Music With Michael Jackson

Essential Michael Jackson seminar humanizes one of pop’s biggest enigmas
No more drama; Jackson collaborator skirts tabloid fodder and offers personal insight into the man and his music
By Reyan Ali
Published: August 28, 2013
IN THE STUDIO WITH MICHAEL JACKSON
noon Saturday, Aug. 31 | Starke Lake Studios, 275 N. Lakeshore Drive, Ocoee | 407-690-8922 | inthestudiowithmj.ticketbud.com | $199
Brad Sundberg first met Michael Jackson at some point in 1984. Sundberg can’t remember the specific moment the two first interacted – he figures it happened while they passed in a hallway – but even at that relatively early stage in the King of Pop’s career, Jackson was “this almost untouchable superstar” coming off the enormous success of 1982’s Thriller and his prominent role in MTV’s rise to cultural juggernaut. Thanks to some good fortune while working at Westlake Recording Studios – a West Hollywood, Calif., studio frequented by Jackson – the Santa Cruz-bred Sundberg went from being a studio runner to apprenticing with producers Bruce Swedien and Quincy Jones as they collaborated with Jackson on what would eventually become 1987’s Bad. Sundberg soon stopped attending recording school at night to sit in and observe these men at work, in time becoming part of Jackson’s inner circle.
“I went to New York when we kicked off the U.S. leg of the Bad tour, and I was standing backstage 50-60 feet away from him watching him perform, and I’m kind of looking at my wife going, ‘Who is that?’” says the Windermere-based Sundberg, 49, who today oversees BSUN Media Systems, a company specializing in home entertainment systems. “It was such a dynamic, explosive performance that he put out, and back in the studio, it’s just Michael. One on one, he’s just Michael.”
Since June 2012, Sundberg has been revisiting his professional and personal experiences with Jackson for an ongoing audiovisual seminar series called “In the Studio With Michael Jackson.” Until around 2002, Sundberg worked on and off with Jackson on various projects, including albums (such as Bad and 1991’s Dangerous), remixes, short films and custom equipment installations at Neverland Valley Ranch.
The Orlando edition of the seminar – which has also or will run in Paris, New York, Stockholm and Toronto – will consist of Sundberg discussing Jackson-related topics for about five hours in detail, supplementing the conversation with materials like home videos and studio outtakes. “If anything, I try to make Michael more human and somebody that you can see is kind of a cool guy to hang around,” Sundberg says. His seminar’s $199 ticket also covers a catered dinner similar to the weekly family-style dinners Jackson would arrange so the singer, his crew and his crew’s families could spend some downtime together.
Jackson’s legacy, of course, is connected to heavily publicized controversies and bizarre arcana as much as it is to his music, but Sundberg’s project purposely skirts tabloid-friendly fodder. “[The seminar] didn’t have a grand plan in the beginning. The ground rules were [that] we didn’t care about plastic surgeries or allegations. Leave that outside,” he says. “It’s not my job to go around and change everybody’s mind [on him], but I think people are just tired of the endless barrage of jokes and negative [comments]. Some people would rather just dig down a little bit and go, ‘Let’s hear some of the music that he created and the stories behind it,’ and that’s what the seminar is about.”
