Title: Brian on stage in the early 70s Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on April 24, 2011, 10:06:32 AM I have seen a photo of Brian circa 70/71, I believe at the Whiskey a Go Go with the Beach Boys. Is there any video or audio of this anywhere?

Is there any video or audio of this anywhere? November 1970. Brian played both sets of the first of four nights, and the first set of the second night. There's a very poor audience tape of one of the nights he didn't play.

I guess nobody around there at the time thought it was anything special enough to record while he was there!

Title: Re: Brian on stage in the early 70s Post by: Myk Luhv on April 24, 2011, 12:13:12 PM Did Brian sing it during the concert or did they get Rieley [sp?] out to do the lead vocals? If the former, that would be extremely interesting to hear...

If the former, that would be extremely interesting to hear... Brian played keyboards (not at all well) and Jack 'sang' (also, not at all well).

The version I found on Google. Title: Re: Brian on stage in the early 70s Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on April 25, 2011, 06:02:34 AM If Bruce is their second best option as front man they are in trouble! Love him or hate him, Mike makes the shows much more entertaining!
Title: Re: Brian on stage in the early 70s Post by: Curtis Leon on April 25, 2011, 08:30:25 PM The sound quality is absolutely dreadful. The version I found on Google. It's a very poor quality audience tape. You can barely hear any of the Beach Boys, much less Brian. Title: Re: Brian on stage in the early 70s Post by: Ron on April 25, 2011, 09:49:39 PM Did the Beach Boys *ever* have a good show in Long Beach? Every tape I've ever heard from Long Beach was dreadful. isn't that where Brian did that fabulously awful version of Don't Worry Baby?

It's a very poor quality audience tape. You can barely hear any of the Beach Boys, much less Brian. Yeah, the sound quality isn't all that great, but it is an interesting historical document. I wanted to enjoy the concert, so the recording was made with an inexpensive cassette recorder placed under the seat.

That's your recording?! :o I agree it's very interesting and I'm glad I had a chance to listen to it but I'm not sure I should listen to it with headphones on again. Title: Re: Brian on stage in the early 70s Post by: Jason on April 26, 2011, 03:02:35 PM Honestly, as far as '71 audience recordings go, the Long Beach tape is one of the better ones! Compared to Georgetown University (with every song cut and completely f***ed up sound), Indianapolis (so fucking distant it might as well be 75 minutes of dead air unless turned up to eleven), and Manchester (distorted and distant), Long Beach is hi-fi. It's about as good as the Boston show from the same year, sonically. Maybe I'm more forgiving because I enjoy these crappy audience tapes...
