Brian bgs on BABY BLUE

[HeyJude]

There's a vocal part on Santa Ana Winds that I always thought was Brian until I was told it's actually Carl, which disappointed me. Funny, it's like we're trying to spot the Yeti, isn't it? "Look! It's Brian! On there!!!" We just want to have him on there, do we?

There is a vocal part - a whole one second - where I think it's Brian. At the 2:37 mark, it sounds like Brian singing "oh the". He may be buried in the harmonies somewhere, too. Who knows...

Brian's definitely there near the end of "Santa Ana Winds", doing a little "oh oh" or "whoa oh" bit. You can hear it more clearly on the "alternate" early version, from which elements were used for the eventual official version from KTSA.

No.  I was there.  He wasn't in the hospital the whole time.

"Not the whole time" - how much is that in percent?

Seriously? 48.7%  I calculated it to the minute. 

Half-seriously - like expecting a figure like "about one third" or "circa 80 percent of the time", but being aware of the wording of the question being a bit absurd.

No problem Micha.  I just get like that sometimes...

No harm done, I took it as humorous as you meant it.

Belatedly chiming in, I thought it was Brian on "Baby Blue" too.  Alan played me the isolated track to convince me otherwise.  Great BW imitation but it is definitely Carl.

[Mr. Cohen]

Crazy. If Carl could imitate Brian THAT good, why didn't he do all the falsettos? We'd never know.
