"Wild Honey (New Jersey 1972)" from MIC previewed on Yahoo Music

[Mikie]

Yeah! You know it looks like Carter switches from bass to lead guitar halfway through the video. And Ed's definitely playing lead riffs! So maybe it's only Carter on lead but it's hard to tell because you see Carter playing lead on the Les Paul later in the video. Was this a video splice or Did Ed put down the bass and pick up the Les Paul? Or were both Blondie AND Carter playing the guitar riffs? Doesn't seem logical - somebody's gotta be playing bass!

Let's hear from C-man and see what he thinks.

[alf wiedersehen]

Hmm, that's interesting. It definitely seems odd how fast Ed was able to switch instruments.
Also, I'm positive that the notes we see Ed playing on the guitar don't match with the ones we hear on the recording.

[Mikie]

Then it was a video splice, eh? I can't see Ed switching instruments in the middle of a song anyway. Doesn't make sense. If he puts down the bass, who's gonna play bass? Probably not a keyboard. Gotta be two video segments from different songs.

[metal flake paint]

I reckon that it's just random editing as it occurs at other times during the Good Vibrations from London footage.

[Wah Wah Wah Ooooo]

This is pretty cool overall...lead vocal is much better than Carl's on the album version (not hard...Carl's weakest vocal performance, imo).  It is rushed...it would have rocked harder if it was slowed down slightly. Also, Mike really, really sucks at playing the theramin. I mean, I know it's not an easy thing to play, but if it's going to be that out of tune, leave it out of the performance altogether.

Yep.

There's NO way Ed switched guitars in 5 seconds. It has to be from a different video
And Ed definitely starts the video playing bass and continues until at least 2:04, so that means spliced shots.

Funny, "Wild Honey" is probably in my top 5 Carl vocal performances and I love the f*** out of the theremin in this version and wish it hadn't been mixed so low. TELL ME I'M NOT ALONE

Having heard this version, I now know what this song is about.

Yeah, MUCH cleaner. That's the best I've ever seen that clip. Sure would be cool to see the entire concert, wouldn't it? So Billy Hinsche WAS there as I see him on keys next to Dragon and later on guitar on Rhonda.

[Phoenix]

That's TOTALLY a splice, or more accurately a completely horrible edit!    I've always hated that and the worst part is someone somewhere took footage from THAT period (which is SO hard to come by) and tossed it.  I'd hold hope that the whole thing is safely stashed somewhere but the "professional" level of skill used in the editing process makes me think that hope would be pointless.

At Bellagio 10452, AGD mentions that the Good Vibrations from London broadcast featured four songs by The Beach Boys. Anyone know what that fourth song was?

[Jay]

Going from memory(never a good idea), I think one of the songs they played was Darlin'.

It's one of my favorite Carl performances too! Some of it sounds a bit over-the-top and that's part of the fun. Overall I find his singing very convincing on this song and much more so than on most other actual rock songs he was going to attempt later in his career.

Sounds plausible. Thanks.

[Jay]

I have an audio recording of it somewhere. I'll check tonight and report back.

I agree. The theremin is arguably better when slightly off tune and makes for that 'spooky' sound Brian so enjoyed. It's still audible luckily.

Just to Follow up, I have found three songs listed. Do It Again, Wild Honey, and Help Me Rhonda.

You're not alone. I love everything about the song, especially Carl and Bruce's funky organ break.

Hmmm, that fourth song remains a mystery then.

You are not alone, I wish it was higher as well.  It's cool to see Mike crouched down on the (Elton-London-Blondie) clip and playing it. (Theremin.) But, I think he did a pretty good job at it.  Did Good Vibes, live, from the outset, and it sounded great.

Carl did do an outstanding job on WH and everything he sang.
