"Made in California" Box Set

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

quick question Andrew, I have the AMCB live album and I love it. What I ask is, how fateful to the original was it, and how much better is the Beach Boys version?

[Andrew G. Doe]

Aside from a key change and very minor musical/vocal differences, it's very, very faithful (as they had sanctioned access to the original), and a fine, fine performance. The Beach Boys version is, IMHYEO, toweringly majestic, and Adam would be the first to agree.

That said, should it be released on the box I'm sure there will be people here and elsewhere going "don't see what the fuss was all about". Human nature, and in some cases, an urge to be a complete f*ckwit.

Thirsty......gasp...must go to oasis.....for water.

Cool, Cool Water?

[pixletwin]

Don't go near [that] water! 

[joshferrell]

yes lets talk about oasis and which desert you saw it in...was it big or small? how thirsty were you? were you near death? did you hallucinate the Gallagher brothers while there? did the beach boys box set show up in the middle of the heat wave?

Thanks man, sounds like a great song! Hopefully people keep the bs on the low down if it's on the box

If I were a mod, any and all mention of oasis in this thread from here on out would get deleted instantly, without warning.

]Well, I asked for this to get back on topic. I'm not asking anymore. It was funny for about 5 seconds; now it's older than the milk in my fridge.

[I. Spaceman]

I know! This place used to be an oasis of Beach Boys discussion!

[Andrew G. Doe]

Little experiment - try going to an Oasis forum and introducing The Beach Boys into any thread there. Somehow I doubt they'd be as polite as we've been here.

As for the band themselves - hugely overrated. Always preferred my Beatles straight.

Oasis didn't achieve anything that The Rutles hadn't done already, and I hear that Dirk was a great guy as well.

This is now up there with the Cohen tedium.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Indeed, to the extent that I'm distinctly disinclined to impart any news I may - or may not - have about the box to people who would evidently prefer to talk about another band.

*yawn*

Stroke my ego and maybe I will impart some info from da iner cirkle !

If you know something then please do impart , I may or may not be interested.

After 50 pages of nothing concrete it seems inevitable  the thread is going to veer of into mild trolling at times.

However Oasis are just as relevent info wise to the new box set as someone thats keeps posting I might or might not know something.

Why you still need people to fawn over you Mr Doh?

*off to sleep for another 10 years*

Aw, but it'd be so unlike you to allude to knowing something without actually telling anyone anything.

Can you honestly comment on the Beach Boys for once instead of insulting everybody here.

Time to play with the word filter again....

[The Shift]

The degeneration continues…

I'm occasionally one of the first to call Andrew when he gets insulting; on this occasion that hasn't happened – he hasn't. A once-readable thread is being waylaid by trolls who're (to my mind) insulting AGD. I'm sure it's water off a duck's back to him but the overall  degeneration of the thread is pissing me off.

Can the Mods lock it to put a stop, then a fresh thread can kick off when there's any further news.

The Beach Boys were good.

I recognise the Wee Helper name from distant days of yore.
Threads go off topic and unfortunately Oasis are a bit of a banal tangent to go on but as for trolling I think AGD is as guilty as anyone on this thread. If you know something and can say it then say it , if you cant then don´t.

When something arises, no-one's going to say 'shut up about the box, we're talking about Oasis!'
