Wow, he was ON that night. The voice isn't gone. It sometimes makes an appearance. I wonder if anyone has other recent live Brian clips where he's really ON like that one or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvqh6Blldncpost 'em up if you know any! |

I'd say this is the best The Honeys/Spring ever sounded as a group: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTKvdTXoW10&feature=related . I could see why the BBs thought Brian poorly produced some of their songs around that time. He could still do this in '69! |

I always wondered if Brian did the string arrangement for this one.. probably no, right? |

You know, we need something like the "bat signal" for Batman to call AGD in times of need, like when your at a coffee shop and suddenly wonder who played bass on "Palisades Park" or something. Brian wrote the string part for "Time To Get Alone", right? So he could write string parts in that style. Did he write the strings for "We're Together Again"? |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ihm17PL-YI've never seen a clip as long as this from the 1972 London concert before. Have to admit they do look incredibly cool here, but I don't approve of the Wild Honey lead vocals. Other than that this clip's truly amazing and I wish there was more footage around. Poor DW seems a bit aimless here, by the way.

To be honest it kind of sucks the life out of the original recording cause there is so much feeling in the original recording. But it was interesting to hear his "version" and I appreciate the fact that he went to all that effort - just not really to my liking. |

True, but it gives you an idea of how a 1985 version would have sounded. As good as Oh Lord is, maybe it's a good thing that it didn't end up on the same album as songs like California Calling and Male Ego. |

Brian has a really odd, almost mean look on his face when he leans down to the microphone. He almost reminds me of my drunken former uncle that knowbody has seen in ten years. Carl looks very uninterested. |

Yeah I agree it's not that bad - maybe the first little part where Brian stuffs up is a little embarrassing but other than that it's not too bad. Was it you MBE who once mentioned that that was the last time Carl didn't have a beard? |

If he had been totally "clean shaven", and cut his hair a little, he would have looked almost the same as he did in around 1969. I didn't realise how much the beard changed his appearance. |

I loved that period, even though, in hindsight, it was kinda sad. You had no idea where those three's heads were. Fascinating but sad, I guess....

Although the look in his eyes was a little bit off every now and then...I still contend that Brian's physical appearance in 1977 was his best in many years (about six), he's fit and looks healthy...

A fairly down-to-earth person who once was around the Beach Boys quite a bit "back in the day" once said to me, "the problem with Mike is he always took himself so damn seriously." Which to me was a pretty illuminating statement.
