1966 Promo Film Dates

[Shane]

I was just curious if we have any exact filming dates for the three promo films made in 1966.


1.  Sloop John B (the one with all the pool scenes)
2.  Wouldn't It Be Nice (the one out in the forest)
3.  Good Vibrations (the fire station film)


 Granted I don't own the Pet Sounds 40th Anniversary set, so they might be in there.

I think dates are given in the Badman book but as with anything in there I would run it by Andrew or Ian to confirm.

I thought the forest video was for I Just Wasn't Made for These Times, not WIBN.

Well on the Sights+Sounds of Summer CD/DVD package it is a Pet Sounds promo clip and features excerpts from WIBN, Here Today and GOK

Yeah, there's been some artistic license taken with some of these films.  For instance, the fire engine Good Vibrations film was used with the song "Fire" in the American Band video.

I have no reason to doubt Badman's dates for the pool shoot or forest shoot-he states as April 24 and 25 1966. However-the Good Vibrations shoot is probably misdated by him.  He dates it as filmed on Oct 23 1966 but this is hard to really believe because  A) The BBs were in Michigan on Oct 22 and Brian joined them. Brian than flew back to California for the famous photo-but not with the BBs.  So implication is that BBs didn't fly back to CA that night.  b) They were in Paris on Oct 24 and would have flown from New York-it is probable that they went straight to Europe after Oct 22 without returning to CA
That being said-They mention the Good Vibrations film while in Europe as already filmed-so it was done probably in October, just not necessarily Oct 23
