Interesting that he posts two different takes! Wonder how many takes they did? |

Sorry, but that kind of sucked.  It's cool that Brian just out of the blue proceeded to play a note for note perfect version of Ding Dang though. |

You're on the wrong board buster! A few things that Bri did that I think kind of suck: 01) "Smart Girls" and most of the unreleased Sweet Insanity album 02) "Don't You Just Know It" or whatever that sh*t is called with Jan Berry 03) Offered drugs to his daughters (and we're not talking about just grass here) 04) 3 Christmas albums!!! 1 unreleased, but what the fuuck? 05) That live rendition of "Barbara Ann" at one of Ringo's parties that makes the rounds (in fact: simply the idea of still performing that piece of sh*t song tour after tour while neglecting some of his finest work) Anybody want to add to the list? It's a free country and not everything can always be one-sided... |

The 1964 Christmas album does not suck.

The best of the bunch for sure. But to repeat the exercise? I'm just not a fan of Christmas albums personally with the exception of the Beatles flexi-discs. I didn't mean to come off sounding too critical but it's kind of therapeutic to find faults in your idols sometimes.  |

My feeling exactly on the Christmas albums. But at least the 1964 album had something original on it.

Actually, Brian's last Christmas album had original material as well. I thought it was pretty good, but... |

The solo Christmas album is better than '64. Half of the first X-Mas disc was a suck up to pre-rock 'n roll tastes. Brian's more recent stab at it rocks…

I like the 64 album better, but I do love WIRWFC....the version of "The Man With All the Toys" is vastly superior to the original.

I have to go with Runaways; 64 is a classic, no doubt, and especially great for the time period. Nobody was doing what brian did then I like lots of the later xmasy stuff too, but I'll take the originals over the redos any day of the week. Including TMWATT |

I didn't mean to come off sounding too critical but it's kind of therapeutic to find faults in your idols sometimes. I hate Christmas music. But the '64 album was a huge leap forward in terms of production for Brian. You can't get to Today and Pet Sounds without going through that one. It was a very important step in his progression IMO. |

After watching those two takes of Brian at the piano, I clicked on the next youtube video to come up, which began with the 1966 "Surf's Up" Oppenheim footage of... Brian at the piano. The difference was a bit striking.
