“In many ways this is the group's first real tour in decades," Bongiovanni said. “This tour should be very successful if they don't get too greedy with the ticket price. Their Grammy appearance did put the band back in front of the public but it's hard to tell if anyone was put off by the obvious lip-synching."

It looks like mixing Jeff so high and Brian so low  may have had unintended consequences.

At any rate, the article includes another quick genuinely upbeat interview of Brian and Mike.

Yeah, they definitely weren't lip synching but when you watch the footage and hear Jeff's voice over everybody else's, the Boys just look like they're miming most of the time. It's stupid because we could totally hear Brian singing his heart out in the fan recordings, but on television you only hear Jeff (and a bit of Mike's low notes).

I posted too soon.  Here's the original unabridged link.  I notice that others have already caught this.

Carl's voice is being flown in on "Waves of Love"   No Dennis.

What's most interesting is Jardine wanting to play some pretty deep cuts. "Farmer's Daughter" and "Lonely Sea" are both very good tracks and it would be mind blowing to hear stuff like that.

The unplugged section back in the 90s was also Mr Jardine's idea, I believe...

I think I've read that, too.

I looked for Larry Dvoskin's quote about "Waves of love" from a while back. Here it is:


LD: "In early 90's when Carl Wilson was still alive, there was exploration into reuniting the group & Brian and recording a new album with producer Don Was.
I went to Al's glorious ranch and we wrote and demo'd a bunch of songs="Waves Of Love", "Good Good Feelings", "Wish", "Jennifer Clover" (named after Al's cow and co-written with his wonderful wife- Mary Ann Jardine).
At that time- Al's eldest son "Matt Jardine" was touring with the band replacing Brian Wilson's voice by singing all those really high falsetto notes.
So Al, Matt, Carl Wilson, and maybe Bruce I recall- at one point recorded a bunch of songs...which are unreleased yet, but are really high quality songs."

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

If they can piece together two different takes of "Surf's Up", they can get Dennis on this album, vocally. Give more respect to the vocal, obviously - work around IT, don't work the vocal around the new recording. But yeah, it could totally be done Sad shame it looks doubtful now.
