They also took some footage of the rehearsals, as well as filming that stuff of the guys jumping off the cliffs into the pools, and the motorcycle footage.

I think the guy who shot this was an assistant sound tech using Dennis' camera, but I'm not posiitive on that.



According to credits in the David Leaf book, a lot of those Hawaiian photos were taken by Ed Roach, so possibly he was the guy with the movie camera aswell ?

punkinhead:
hey alex,

I was pretty sure that the version of Good Vibrations on Hawthorne CA was a Lei'd rehearsal as well

Bicyclerider:
So what are we missing?  We have rehearsal (actual in Hawaii rehearsal) releases of Good Vibrations, Surfer Girl, and Their Hearts were full of Spring.  Apparently a rehearsal was recorded each night, so that's two rehearsals taped, and only three songs released and none I know of on boot.  Since it seems the rehearsal versions were actually better than the stage performances, I'd love to hear the rest of the rehearsals.

Ed Roach didn't meet the Beach Boys until fall '68, more than a year after the Hawaii concerts. He does have some of the raw Hawaii footage in his possesion courtesy of Dennis, maybe Leaf drew a conclusion from that.

curth:
Brad Elliott, (remember him) once , back in 2002 , I believe, sorted out the whole Lei'd In Hawaii situation on the Imagination mailing list, explaining what songs came from where, what songs were rehearsals, what were live, etc etc. The most revealing thing he mentioned as far as I was concerned was that there were four concerts, afternoon and evening shows, plus rehearsals each day. Throw in the Heider sessions and you have seven sources of Lei'd In Hawaii material.
