Nice video, with a lot more Dave than the earlier one.

Thanks for posting! This does sound better each time I hear it. The new album could be quite respectable with proper QC.

I have NEVER complained about Jeff's falsetto....but
....It just sticks out like a sore thumb in this track. And they mixed Brian's voice down way too low in the track.
Okay, those are my complaints. Love the sound of the instrumentals - Mike's voice is Ok, and I LOVE Brian's vocal right after the first chorus (during the "With a girl" part). Again, I can't wait to hear this song in the context of the album!

Interesting. There's a lot to like in this rendition -- I like the sound of it, largely, some of the leads are quite good, and the video is very sweet.
But this is from last summer's sessions, right? To me, it sounds like a band (and production crew) still getting the hang of working with each other. Some of the performances, especially out of the rhythm section, sound a little stiff. Not
bad
, but it doesn't totally gel yet.
It's a strong effort, and I'm more optimistic after seeing this. But I hope that the album sounds much tighter.

Mono. Nice.
Also, David's the man. Looks like he was really feeling that solo.

Anyone hear any differences in the guitar solo? That leaves me thinking that Scott's lead from the original video was replaced by David, presumably because he was added later. Or maybe not.

I still hope it won't be on the new album. Imo there's not enough bass or deepness. It's ok and good to use this as the promotional video (I believe that was the plan, right?) for the big tour but it shouldn't be on the album, although you have Dennis playing the intro. Maybe the plan with the album is to use old recording parts to make new songs a la Beatles love (no way that would happen, just kidding).
I wonder if there'll be an announcement that this video is now up and running

It's already up on their Facebook...which is just as good as announcing it. I'm sure they'll embed the video on the front page of their site soon.

When I first heard Foskett's high part in earlier incarnations of the video, I just thought the autotune was overused and his slip was showing. But now, I think it sounds like a purposeful decision to make that part distinctively sound "treated." Maybe to sound like more of an "update" and to distinguish the new version from the original?
Also, I can't figure out if Mike's verse vocals are autotuned (and maybe stretched so he can seem to hold the notes longer) or if it's just a weird side effect that is produced when you double track a vocal for an older gentleman.

I'm pretty sure they are autotuned.

The drums at the beginning are really weird. The first several lines sound like a sample of the original treated drums, but when Mike comes in, they add a weird extra snare hit on the '3' that sounds right out of Garageband or something. Then after the first lines Cowsill finally comes in and it starts sounding like normal drums.

Highlights for me are Dave's guitar solo and Brian harmonizing with himself on the "With a girl..." part.

the official (new) video seems to have a better handle on Mike Love's vocal and it doesn't sound quite as treated as before.. but the drums seem to be toned down slightly (boo) and it seems to be a new (but similar) guitar solo ( Dave this time around?)
honestly, while I like it, it seems closer to the original now , which is to say, to me, a bit boring.. the little quirks in the previous mix were rather endearing (except for ML's auto tune)

I noticed the different guitar solo...I believe there might be a little more on the end of Dave's than Scott's. I'm really happy with this...and I believe it's a little better than the one we had before.

I so wish there had been more of that sound in there! I love that sound of his voice, shame it only comes in at one point in the song!

It is a sample of the original recording, and that tom hit on the 3 is amazing and is funnily enough played by that guy sitting behind that drumkit there.

Noticed that too. And it's crazy distracting. That was definitley not in the original video that was leaked very briefly a few months ago. The first hit of the snare in that video came right when Mike starts singing. Sounds like they definitely added it in post. Not sure why they inserted it in such an awkward timing as they did.

Oh yeah, you're right - they've changed it from a tom to a hi-hat or a snare. Why change the one addition to the arrangement that was great?

Yes, I agree.
It's a bummer, mostly because by this point there's really nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to BW's singing.

It's great to see them altogether but this and even the original don't hold a candle to the Brian/Wilson sisters version from 1995. There's just so much raw energy in it that you don't get from the Beach Boys versions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0DWT-VO5pQ&ob=av2e
When Mike sings "Been so long," he should be belting it out! I don't know, there's just something kinda dull about this version.
