Finally found it:
Carl Wilson: (talking about 15 Big Ones to Timothy White)
You know, Brian and I wrote one song for this new album called Good Timing. It's got a lot of counterpoint to it, lyrics overlapping.
You need good timing
Lay down your worries
It takes good timing
Lay down your troubles
If your take those words and sing them where Brian sings his answer vocals in the concert versions of Good Timin', it fits perfectly.
The vocal line and the lyrics would have greatly improved an already very good recording.

I remember seeing them in concert back in the day and freaking when Brian did the echo lead vocal...
Really wish this was on the studio version. Does a really good soundboard version of a live take with that vocal even exist or circulate among fans?
He was doing that short echo part during the 1980 shows. I know he did it at the DC, July 4th show (which was broadcast), and I'm
thinking
it might have been on the 4-18 Philadelphia radio concert as well (though don't quote me on the latter...I'd have to dig that one out to verify).
On a related note, I was under the impression that Stephen Desper did the live radio *mix* for that noted coast-to-coast, live '80 radio show from the Philly Spectrum. Correct, Steve? I remember staying up to record it, only to have my local affiliate (WMMS) "kindly" decide to not run the encore!!!!!!
EDIT: Lo and behold. Look what I found on YouTube. The DC version of Good Timin'. Though, it seems the sound man was a tad late in potting up Brian's mic on that answer vocal at the end. But you get the idea.

Thanks much. I was just about to go on a goosechase for this.
Here's another one from the '80 tour with the Brian echo/answer part...Knebworth. His bit starts around the 1:41 mark.

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.

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.

I've always been much more lukewarm on "Good Timin'" than most fans because I've always felt that the song was missing something. Is this why, I wonder?

those unused lyrics are kinda getting into the Lay Down Burden territory-seems like I read a Joe Thomas interview where he mentioned an earlier version of LDB that ended up being Spring Vacation that had lyrics very close to these

Something interesting I noticed: at the very end (about 2:08) you can clearly hear Bruce's keyboard.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.
