Lei'd In Hawaii Reels..what we have
punkinhead:
from compilations, we have only one live performance which is a very smiley Heroes and Villains...
we have 'rehearsal' recordings of Their Hearts were Full of Spring (which wasn't performed for the concerts), Good Vibrations, and Surfer Girl.
From the Wally Heider sessions, we get the Letter and God Only Knows.
From documentries, we got a small clip of God Only Knows (audio) from the concerts and the full concert with an obvious edit of Live in London tapes overdubbed. and from American Band, there's about 5 sec of brian playing bass on stage, which seems to me is Sloop John B, or so I've heard that was the only tune he played that on.
There's also some footage of rehearsals and riding motorcylces/playing the fields/jumping off cliffs...
is the whole concert filmed? will we ever get anymore? that's one concert I'd love to see.
Jason:
The Lei'd In Hawaii concerts were supposedly filmed, but according to Alan Boyd, only pieces of footage survive. The audio of both the shows on the 25th and 26th of August 1967 were professionally documented. The Heider sessions are out, in a somewhat edited form, on bootlegs. The actual live rehearsals so far are all that's out there.
punkinhead:
what a person would hear on the boot of the shows would be the show itself and not an overdub of the Wally Heider sessions, right?
Reverend Joshua Sloane:
They should've done 'Little Pad". Clearly the best mixed, edited, performed, produced, arranged, song on Smiley. The melodies in the song are the best that Brian has ever made. By the sea that's where I'll build a pad in Hawaii. is just amazing. The mono mix, the shovel digging effect, beautifull mixed, every part plays through to perfection. Brian's subtle, single tracked vocal with that touch of slight vibratio is just fantastic.
I love that song more than I could ever say. What a great piece of music.
Joshilyn Hoisington:
The recordings of the actual shows were never overdubbed unto to my knowledge and thus whatever bootleg you have of them would simply be the show itself as you say.
The Heider recordings were also not overdubs, but entirely from scratch, in-studio performances that would have replaced what the Beach Boys apparently felt were not very good performances from the Hawaii concerts.
