Quite interesting. "Night rider" never was my favorite Elvis-song but I'd like to hear a Spector-produced demo....

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Have you spotted Spec in the audience at the 68 special?
Love Night Rider. The demo is supposedly coming out on an FTD disc, soon, as well as the Spector-produced Slowly But Surely demo that supposedly kicks ass.

He absolutely definitely was there. During the stand-up shows. Ya think I would say that without knowing it?

This is from the Memories song at the end of the sitdown show.  You tell me that's not Spector.

Nope, Tiger Man was deleted in favor of Blue Christmas. Binder's edit retained no Christmas music, and Parker threatened to shelve it, so Tiger was cut and Christmas put in. Spector claimed this removal destroyed the show.

Hell, Ian I apologize. I never knew that Spector was there. And I'm a fan for over 12 years. I thought I know everything. Now that's something. Thanks also for the pic Jeff !

That pic is from one of the sit down shows. So he was there for them AND the stand up shows?

I checked my sources -- they say that it was BOTH the cuts that caused Spector's ire.  I could certainly see both of them as essential tracks.

Cool, I had only heard about Tiger.
Personally, I feel that Let Yourself Go was no big loss. Great recording of the tune though.

I think it ould be graet if they had left "Let yourself go" in the special. Great scene and great song.  It kinda perfects the image of Elvis imo.
