"As a close friend of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, Danny Hutton was present during the recordings of 'Pet Sounds', 'SMiLE' and other instalments of wilson's late-sixties work. Wilson and Hutton often collaborated, with Hutton's band Redwood (later re-named 'Three Dog Night') proposed as the first signing for The Beach Boys' Brother Records label.
Here Danny shares his memories and insights on Pet Sounds, SMiLE and Brian Wilson's creative peak during the nineteen-sixties."13 parts, start from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZn9Sp1lqZI&list=PL35350BBCE486D776&feature=plcp |

Yep!
Always interesting to hear stories about Pet Sounds and SMiLE sessions. And the famous Darlin' story, of course.

And there's one with Van Dyke Parks where he speaks mostly about The Byrds. |

Really fun interviews, it was great hearing VDP go on and on - he even briefly mentioned being in the Mothers as discussed in a recent thread.
I want an audio-animatronic Van Dyke Parks seated at a piano! It'd be the crown jewel of Frontierland!

The Hutton interview is indeed good. I have to admit whenever I see him or read anything about Three Dog Night, I think about the autobiography of Jimmy Greenspoon, the band's keyboardist, "One Is The Loneliest Number" - nowadays out of print and quite pricey when found. Greenspoon says in it that he snorted blow many a time with Huntz Hall in the '70s. Ah, if only there were a pic of Sach and Brian and Dennis tootin'. If only. If there were an animatronic VDP playing in Frontierland, the song I'd like to hear from it is "I'm History." It's a number Van Dyke's been working on for 30 years - maybe you could call it his miniature version of Smile. In an ideal America, he would be performing it in front of a half-million on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. As things stand, he's playing it for a few dozen or a few hundred (in the US, that is - he seems to be pulling crowds in the thousands in Europe this month). You can hear it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvifW0pxvo0or http://www.npr.org/2012/05/07/152218499/van-dyke-parks-on-mountain-stage?ft=1&f=1109 |

You could give Amazon $47 and they'd ship it to you along with the rest of the Pet Sounds Sessions box.

Yap, that's a well-known mistake regarding the PET SOUNDS SESSIONS box set. |

That was Carl on that demo; Leaf made a mistake. Shocking, I know... |

One of the best interviews about Brian that I've seen. He's got a great memory.
