On the NPR 'concert', they play the studio track of Isn't It Time with some electric guitar overdubs in the chorus too. I assume they'll be on it.

oh, I guess I jumped the gun in correcting you. I don't like "like", I think "used" is a lot better, makes it sound more sad.

they're going to tinker with this song more than Al and Loop de Loop!

Is this the first video of the new version?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GulPkzOC_qA

Mike with Jeff on the bridge, the switching of 'use' to 'like' plus others.

Sorry if it has been mentioned in gig threads.

The new version was first performed on 6/15 in Columbia, MD. The band was given the new words at the soundcheck that day.

I'm not against the vocal tradeoff, Bruce's chorus part and Mike's chorus after the bridge are both sublime and I definitely wouldn't want them culled. Al just has the strongest and commercial sounding voice in the group. If they really want to send this single in with the best chance, Al's the way to go imo.

but i think al's voice is used best where it is, on the catchiest part of the song (for me).

Perhaps it`s just me but this song is still fairly dull and predictable to me. The latest live renditions are almost sleep-inducing.

Brian sounds better in this performance than he sounds on the album- hopefully they will re-record or over-dub his part before this sucker is released as a single.

I just saw this July 3rd performance on youtube with the new lyrics on the bridge--and some more layered vocals, but notice that Al is back to singing "used to do" instead the the (false and vacuous) "like to do."  Heavens, someone must have wisely emended this proposed change, which had made the emotion of the song incoherent, as one member here intimated wisely above.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaWrMX-ssdI

update: I had the dates wrong:  "like to do" (I hate it) is more recent than "used to do."

Still dying to hear the single. . .

I think it sounds so good because for the first few lines, Brian is singing along with a pre-recorded version of himself (that's just what it sounds like to me, that's not a fact!!). Which kind of lends to a double-tracking effect.

During the IIT (first new version)  video, the BB mention a PBS special; this is not obviously the completed Front Row Center, so will there be an extended show, with all the bagging for money and all that? I had not heard of that, but of course I will pay any price for the "whole show" with footage not in the special as shown, which is how they always structure the gifts for contributions.

any word on that?

To tediously repeat a question that perhaps cannot now be answered: any word on when the new single comes out?  Odd not to do so before leaving the country?

No official word yet. Late summer, maybe? TWGMTR (the single) hasn't been out for so long, after all.

TWGMTR is still hanging in the top 50 this week, at #48 I think another 7k sold..

I really think if "isn't it time" gets the right promo it will push the album back up. Very radio friendly song, they need to release it ASAP

Thanks lads.  I suppose we all have our eyes open for that development. ASAP sounds good; I see no notice at all on thebeachboys.com, which is slow about news.

Top 50 for 6 weeks?  How does that stack up? Better than Madonna and Neil Young with their recent releases? With the US tour over, they need a boost, and the single will do that.

Hmm the article is encouraging, but it does seem to imply we may get a re-recorded version of the unreleased Dennis track rather than an original recording, which would be appalling! In fact, if it's WIBNTLA - and they do a new recording of it rather than releasing the original - then i think it's safe to say i wont be the only one who'll be tearing my hair out in frustration!

If "Isn't it time" is released as a single I'm sure it is because after the succes of the album they still want to have a single hit. The first single didn't do anything because no one really knew that it was out and a CD still hasn't been released. The promotion for the single was not big enough. I hope they'll make it right with "Isn't it time". The song has very much potential and with all that's goin' on right now it could become a hit. But that also means that they'll have to do TV appearances to promote the song. That probably won't be possible while they are on tour in Europe, Australia and Japan. I still hope they will appear on german TV show "Wetten dass...?" but I don't know when it will go on air again as they had to start all over again after Thomas Gottschalk quit.

That'd be a reason to watch "Wetten, dass...?" for the first time in ages. At least for me.
I still recall Take That having one of their last appearances (or the last one?) on "Wetten, dass...?" before the announced break-up in the 90s.  Grin

I can't remember when the last time was I really wanted to see the show. Probably around '99. But I believe it's still the biggest TV show in Europe.

How will we hear about the release of the new single?  With the BB overseas and the album now 87 on the Billboard charts, we are in a kind of lull. I think it's time for the next single release and the promise of an new album of new material.

I have no access, evidently, to the AC charts, which do not appear on the free Billboard site, so I am not sure if the title track is still charting.

Thebb.com site is slow about all news and looks only good for selling stuff.
