AUDIOPRO 93 and Michael Jackson

Wow! Back in 1993 I staged, hosted, and put on AudioPro 93 along with my partners Robbie Ott and Jack Miller. I recently got an email from GQ magazine asking about some details of a presentation tha Bruce Swedien made at that event. Bruce and Bernie Grundman were our guest and it just so happens that they were two legs of the reigning trinity that resulted in Thriller, ff the Wall, and Bad from Michael Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones. That request for information inspired me to search the Internet and I immediately found some video footage of the actual event. The footage was taken by a guy named Peter on his 8mm video camera. Peter had attended AudioPro 93 from Russia!

Check out this amazing footage of the engineer, Bruce Swedien demonstrating the brilliance of Michael Jackson!

See all of the footage that Peter from Russia recorded at AudioPro 93, which happened September 25 & 26, 1993 at The Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle, WA.
