Spent the afternoon at my desk listening to clunky slipper live slippers of Dennis's I've Got a Friend.  One of my fave Dennis songs. Anyone know if there's a soundboard recording, and whether one has ever circulated?

Must be a front runner for any further official Dennis releases if there's a studio or good live recording of this. The guy really was the creative gem in the band throughout the 70s.

As has been stated many times over the past few years...there is a basic studio track in existence of I've Got A Friend from around '71, no vocals or major production elements on it, just a basic track...piano, drums, bass, maybe a little guitar. The only live recordings to have surfaced are not soundboard quality.

Many thanks for the clarification Jon; I thought I remembered as much about a studio recording but didn't know whether it'd ever been recorded live or not.  Such a shame....

And even in that raw form, it's a killer.  Grin

Does anyone have the lyrics to I Got a Friend? The available versions are so unclear they are hard to hear.

Won't happen. I've Got A Friend is controlled by BRI...Hawkins was brought in to the Legacy project via Caribou...no synergy.

How about Carl B. Wilson?

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

My vote goes to David Marks. I don't know as much about as some here do, but he sang "Forever" beautifully!

I seem to be the only other person who thinks this but he sounds an awful lot like the early Dennis.

When I saw Mike and the boys last year, I have to admit that his vocals were the least impressive, especially on You're So Good to Me

Someone Please Mayonnaise (SUBTLETY IS ALIVE AND WELL, FOLKS) me the backing track and any live recordings and I'll combine those suckas. I've done it with three Elliott Smith tracks with fairly successful results - it takes a bit of time and energy, but it's worth it.

As has been mentioned in many threads before this one: the studio backing track of I've Got A Friend isn't circulating at all (, and will probably stay in the faults for some time I guess).

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

Errr... he can 'do' a chilling Carl, and a very reasonable Brian... but I've not heard him come even close to Dennis, be it 63, 73 or 83.

AH BALLS. I guess I accidentally read it as circulating.
