TWGMTR was ok, but let's see what else they play in the longer edition of the show later this week

Disaster
Vocally a little shaky here and there, but very lively. And Brian & Bruce very audible.
Lively? A fair few smiles, but smiles evocative of the ol' Holywood/Vegas/showbiz circuit… didn't exactly get the impression that the smilers were enjoying themselves, though BW himself seemed more settled than in recent TV appearances,. I guess The BBs is a comforting environment for him. Which is a good thing.

It's been my favourite TV performance of TWGMTR so far. Far from perfect, of course.
And I'd really like to know whose idea the "Babs Ann" thing was... maybe Holland talked Mike into it?

Thanks. I kinda like that Brian's all over this, but where are the other guys? Al's lost in the mix, as Manning* pointed out.

Sounds pretty good. Foskett's a little flat at times, but it could be due to bad monitoring. Brian sounds pretty on throughout Barbara Ann. Agree that Al could've been louder.
Just great to see them still together & functioning at this point!

Well it's Brian and the Beach Boys on TV so the expectations are
looooow
to begin with... thus, any okay performance is a good performance (see Brian's last stint on Holland's show).

Yeah, that sounded the same as every other performance of "...Radio": Teeting on the edge of going off the rails but just barely holding together. This one was mixed a bit differently, but same quality of performance. I think part of the problem, as I've probably said elsewhere, is that it's one of those songs without one single lead vocalist throughout. So it ends up sounding messy, with a bunch of guys popping in and out in unison, then some harmony, etc. Every TV show seems to mix Al down, and then realize he has the sort-of solo line "in my car", and punches his vocal up just soon enough to be a bit too late.

That was pretty neat, yeah. And I also don't think the boys sounded bad without the backing guys, it's just that playing "Barbara Ann" when you have a slot for 3 songs on such a show seems kinda... dumb.

Bingo.
I'll just add that, difficulty as a live track aside, they still don't seem to perform it with the greatest level of confidence after 4 months, IMHO. That is, it's still tentative. Their body language almost seems to say, "We know this is our a latest offering that we hoped would be a smash, but we'll be glad when we don't have to do it ever again."...lol.
On the contrary, slight raggedness and mixing issues aside, it was kind of cool to see them do Barbara Ann in its original "unplugged Party" style, as nature intended, with the harmonies as the main attraction. I've always wished they would do it in concert like this, other than just as the dumb token rocker sing-a-long.

Re: TWGMTR It's pretty bad. Not horrible, but not very good in the slightest. If they sound like this doing it live, I shudder to think of how much studio trickery went into making it sound like it does on the record.
On the plus side, the guys look good.

Watching these videos kinda made my day. After all the sh*t I've reading these last few days. Seeing them together, made me remember why I love these guys so much and why I cherish this reunion. I thought TWGMTR was ok and DIA and BA were very good, if lacking in the mix department a little bit. It's remarkable that a pro music show such as this could not put together a professional mix of the band (granted, it's a tough group to mix).
I also LOVED watching Brian here. Looking great after the back proceeding.
Here's to many more years of these guys making music together.

I truly do believe it's moments like this where Carl is missed the most as the live glue that held things together.
My feeling is that he would've whipped this one into game shape from the get-go, which in turn, would've erased any tentativeness right from the start. The song probably would've been built around a lead vocal by him, as well as obviously having him as one of the anchors in the harmony stack to help prevent things from teetering on the edge or falling apart -- even as layered and more difficult as the song might be to execute live for the guys this late in the game.
Carl nearly always had the band on the right foot with new material for TV performances. Think something like virgin tunes such as "KTSA" and "Goin On'" as they were performed on Fridays in 1980, and which were taped right around the time they started performing the songs live. Those might actually surpass the studio versions.

Yeah they do! "Keepin' the Summer Alive" live on
Fridays
really rocks. I actually watched that performance before ever hearing the studio version, and boy, what a let down after hearing it sound so good before.
Edit: Oh, and back OT, "Barbara Ann" was pretty cool. Sounded good with a light-hearted sense of fun (as "Barbara Ann" should)!
