Carl sounds way off on the backups. That's him doing the "oh-oh-oh-oh" parts, right?
Al sounds great.

I think it's Dennis with the "oh-oh-oh-oh".

Nah, the loud part. Dennis is the low part, Carl is the really loud part, trying to do backup harmonies and failing miserably. Carl was really awful during this period. Carl in 77-78 was as bad as Brian in 1980-81 and at Farm Aid 98. Sad.

Good question, Jane, and one I've been wondering about myself. I actually think Carl at this point was functioning BARELY higher than Brian, and honestly worse off than Dennis. GOK, esp...really, if I knew NOTHING about the group except their story, and didn't know what they looked like and saw that performance, I'd have been 100% certain that *Carl* was the one that needed to be under Landy's "care".

Eh, he just looked drunk. He still sang alright, just that "stand up, sit down, do whatever you want" part was a little drunken-silly.

God Only Knows

Melbourne, 1978

Hey, Windchimes, THIS is the definition of horrible, not Dennis' drumming.

[Lorenschwartz]

Anybody care to wonder what caused Carl's brief rebellion circa '77-78?

I think there were a few reasons.
 1. Mike Love's brother was a complete asshole!!!!!
     he was the reason Carl's buddy Blondie Chaplin left the friggin' group.

Anyone else? I think these performances are very revelatory in the BB's canon.

I see Al is still keepin' it clean here.

Surfer Girl

Melbourne, 1978

It makes me sad when I see this one.  Carl was so messed up during that time, and he more than likely was pretty drunk there, he wasn't his usual easy happy self, that stuff made him into a totally different person, a normally soft spoken guy was loud and mouthy.  I love Carl and hate to see him in that state.

He had a bad breakup with Annie the year before, and he lost his way for a while.

"You can do whatever you want. " I can't tell if Carl sounds like a jerk there or just a funny guy drunk who's usually very quiet.

The performance is not as bad as myth has it; and Carl isn't as wasted as myth told it. The flutes sound a bit silly, especially since they're doing vocal parts instead of their own lines.

[carlydenise]

after watching the GOK performance after the Surfer Girl one, Carl has straightened up quite a bit between those 2 songs, I think he did a good job singing GOK, they all seemed a little off on those 2 performances, maybe they were tired, jet lag, no telling, GOK

Carl in 77-78 was as bad as Brian in 1980-81 and at Farm Aid 98. Sad.

I often read that Brian's 1998 Farm Aid appearance was especially bad. I've seen the video and thought it was actually really good, except for Willie Nelson forgetting lyrics. But Brian did a good job IMHO.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

About Farm Aid... I remember seeing it after someone taped it for me. I remember how disrespectful the hosts for CMT were towards Brian. During his (rambling) introduction for Lay Down Burden, they kept talking over it, and made some kind of faces. Granted, it's been 7 years or so since I've last seen it, but I remember thinking to myself that it wasn't going over too well.

That whole St.Charles/Joe Thomas era was really odd. Seeing Brian singing standing up wearing a heavy jacket was even odder...oddest yet was the performance with Deana Carter that was heavily overdubbed and features Brian dancing. If someone uploads *that* one, they have my admiration...

[XY]

It looks like I haven't seen all of Brian at Farm Aid. I have a 3 song afternoon set (Do It Again/In My Room/Warmth Of The Sun) and thought that's all. So he appeared once again and did songs like "Lay Down Burden"...

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Huh... you have the actual GOOD performances...!

hmmm   


I never saw this, maybe someone could upload it. I love Willie Nelson and it would be great to see him with Brian (solo)

[XY]

hmmm   

Believe it or not Rocker, everytime I read about Farm Aid I think of you and my promise! But I still can't get this f... MPG-file to play!

Nicely put, Carly, and right on the money! Carl took the divorce hard. Thankfully he recovered, was able to put his life back in order, and get back to the music.

Bless you, that's all I need to know....


BTW those Knebworth-videos are not the same as on the DVD, from where are these? They got different camera-work

[I. Spaceman]

Probably the TV broadcast.

[Rocker]

Probably the TV broadcast.

I thought it didn't broadcast on TV....

[Reverend Joshua Sloane]

They removed the "God Only Knows" Hawaii clip. Probably because it's from the DVD.

[Eric Aniversario]

I was browsing videos by my OTHER favorite artist, Basia, when I found that there was a guy who had posted a Beach Boys video in addition to some Basia vids.

If you're like me, you haven't seen this one more than once or twice, if ever...enjoy!

You can try to convert the mpg to VOB (DVD) and then back to mpg...?

Knebworth aired partially as a part of The Beach Boys 20th ann. special. The special wasn't great but far better then the one in 87.
