New Smile Session Film Footage - Western #3 - Wrecking Crew - IT EXISTS (here)

[guitarfool2002]

From CBS Early Show this morning...THIS is the Western #3 footage captured as still frames for the YouTube video...it really is a film, we were right in that other thread, and this was the premiere broadcast. Holy cow, I'm beyond being happy for this.

Go to roughly 2 minutes into this clip and you'll see it.

There really is a Santa Claus.

i want dvd/blu ray dang it

[guitarfool2002]

Yes indeed. I have waited years holding onto the hope that such a film existed, besides having the chance to actually see such film if it did exist.  I'm thrilled about this, hopefully we will get to see more of this film somewhere, somehow.

Amazing day so far.

That really wasn't a bad interview.. Kind of the same stuff we always here, but it's on national TV and played a lot of clips. Very nice.

[buddhahat]

Wow the footage is amazing. I almost fell out of my chair thinking it was a session for Western Theme, but promptly realised they were playing the Smile Sessions over the top! Chances that this footage has accompanying audio are pretty slim, right?

Oh man, I need an animated gif of the little Brian/Hal clip at 2:31-2:35 SO HARD.  If somebody's got the skills...

[Justin]

Nice footage but it doesn't look like any of the footage comes with its original sound source....great stuff though!

I thought  Brian looked totally un-medicated!! good for him!

[MBE]

Brian really seems in good form in the interview. The footage is mind blowing. What else is there?

They really should have included a DVD with the box set

Why when they can sell it separately in 6 months in full knowledge they'll get another $25 out of us all.

Somebody had to say it

Wait.... this isn't P*rn?

Could happen. Should have some sales numbers to round off the story by then.

In the week that SMiLE was released, we also get studio footage from when Brian was at the top of his game. I cannot believe it.

Listening to this studio stuff for years, (really since Our Favourite Recording Sessions on ASL), I have always seen the sessions in my minds eye. Brian on the talk-back monitor, the musicians in the studio. It is like putting a face to a voice.

Now if they can only find out which session it was, and see if they can synch the audio to the film (if said audio exists), then we'll have something really special.

What a week.........

Could be the 8/12/66 session for "Look/I Ran", perchance.

Has anyone bought up the idea that this footage was found with the tapes?

[Iron Horse-Apples]

More insider information eh?

I just hope the tapes were rolling when the camera's were. What a thing to have an audio-visual record of a classic era BB session.

So can you cryptically tell me exactly when the SMiLE DVD is coming out, and what' on it?

No. And... no.

Not an insider thats for sure. Pure speculation but AGD is hinting he knows again.

Nope, just juggled a few AFM sheets, recording dates and people visible in the footage and made a semi-informed guess, hence the "could be...". Rocket science it ain't. You keep thinkin'' Butch, it's what you're good at. 'Cause sure as eggs is eggs, you ain't much good at trying to get my back up.

Given that the vocal sessions footage is evidently silent, I'm guessing the track session stuff is too.

Nope, 'cause I have no idea.

Yes, but if they know the session, they can synch the audio to the track from the multi-tracks, if they exist, hence I just hope the tapes were rolling when the camera's were.

Whatever happens, it's amazing footage I thought I'd never see.

2011 is a landmark year for BB fans.

[guitarfool2002]

The questions I'm left with are where the heck did they unearth *this* studio footage, and how much more of it exists on a reel or piece of film?

I had almost given up hope of ever finding something such as this, especially Western #3 which was Brian's favorite studio for tracking instruments.

[Pretty Funky]

Thats what I was wondering before AGD got a bit snappy.

Listening to his set must be wearing him out!
