Title: Two Random Observations Post by: Shane on March 25, 2011, 11:06:01 PM A couple random observations based on my BB listening tonight.
First off, I pulled out my mint LP stereo copy of the "All Summer Long" LP. I recently upgraded my record player to a $175 cartridge and a $200 pair of headphones, and I've been hearing all sorts of things I never heard before. I got to the "Carl's Big Chance" track, which is a song I rarely listen to. Halfway through the song, I always thought it was an organ that began playing in the background. I realized that it's actually an... accordion! I never knew his use of the instrument went back that far. Second realization. Another recent post on this board mentions a BB convention where they were playing a recording of "Please Let Me Wonder" from a Chicago show in March 1965. This prompted me to pull out the "Live Box" recording of (part of) the show. I was in audio nirvana. The band is in great form, Brian is there, and Carl's 12 string guitar sounds amazing. It really shows how solid of a performance the boys could give after approximately 2 1/2 years of touring experience. I only wish there was more of this show available. How much else is out there? I know of the Live Box songs, a version of "Shut Down" on the Hawthorne Blvd CD, and now mention of the "Please Let Me Wonder" recording.
