Will allow for some of the live versions to substitute album versions.

That should just about fit on a triple album. See labels for correct playing order.

Here's a lineup that always works well for me:

Wouldn't It Be Nice
You Still Believe In Me
That's Not Me
Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)
I'm Waiting For The Day
Let's Go Away For Awhile
Sloop John B.
God Only Knows

I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
Pet Sounds
Caroline, No

 :lol Maybe I'll try this playlist.

The Beach Boys [with Brian] Live Monterey Pop Festival 1967

The Letter
Darlin
Aren't You Glad
Good To My Baby
Sloop John B
That's Not Me
I Know There's An Answer
Our Prayer
Heroes and Villains
Do You Like Worms
Holidays
Child is the Father of the Man
Surf's Up
Fire
Here Comes the Night
With Me Tonight
Wind Chimes
Wonderful
Whistle In

This is just off the top of my head but I think it's a very cool setlist already. You begin with some cool cuts, The Letter, Good To my Baby etc until you reach I Know There's An Answer. The line up is great - Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Al, Bruce.

Brian - baldwin organ / keyboards / bass
Carl - guitar
Dennis - drums
Mike - theremin
Al - guitar
Bruce - bass / keyboards
erryone singing

On Holidays, Bruce plays a creepy organ sound like the "indian song" or whatever it's called instead of the vibes or marimbas. It sounds like a Doors song now. Dig this vibe everyone it's great. I like imagining The Beach Boys as this cool band with Brian that played eccentric setlists live. I mean, imagine hearing Brian rip out Good To My Baby live in 1967 if he was on some speed or something. It would be friggin' incredible! Likewise for hearing Here Comes The Night live and everything else. It could've been the greatest music at that festival.

Wow so they just finished I Know There's An Answer. Who knew Mike could play banjo so well! Wow that thing was rattling everyone's bones on the outro while Brian and Bruce's keyboards played off each other, Al handling the bass and Carl on 12 string.

Oh wow they're singing Prayer from Smile now. It's angelic, masterfully performed. The entire audience is silent, awed, moved beyond. Hahahhahahahaha bam right into Heroes and Villains, Brian's on a piano banging it out ten times harder than with Humble Harv. His voice is incredible. He yelled at Denny to pick up the beat. It's fucking ROARING now. Al is bouncing, looks like he's about to take off into the sky. Bruce is head banging. Oh god the chorus.... the baldwin, it's SO LOUD. Brian moved over a seat to the Baldwin right before the chorus just in time to slam the note on. I feel my entire body vibrating. My organs are about to explode. It's pressing into my pineal gland. Why won't it channnnnnnnggggggggggggg ahhhh relief. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA. This is MADNESS.

[... sometime later...]

Ok so they just played Here Comes The Night - Jim Morrison got on stage to sing with them and Ray was on organ. It was electric cool - who knew The Beach Boys were so far out.

Read the two posts above with the RP McMurphy voice from the scene where he's fantasizing the baseball game....from One Flew Over...

And I wish everything that ghost just wrote were from actual events. Agh, perhaps in an alternate universe.

Holy Crap, I totally just finished that book! HAHA!
I love(d) McCMurphy, in a way he reminds me of Brian...
....And Nurse Ratched is Mike.... haha!

I've been wanting to read the book for a long time (I've only seen the movie) - I think I'll pick that up next time I'm at the bookstore. Haha now I'll be picturing nurse Ratched with a long red beard and balding head ;D

I just made a thread where I actually talk about some weird simmilarites... (SPOLIERS!!!)


http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,10998.0.html

Mike is nothing like her. Mike was a fun loving easy going guy who was perturbed by the concern that Brian's new entirely viable artistic music might fall on deaf ears with their usual audience, thereby causing a dramatic decline in funds.

Mike's against big brother as much as you and me, man.

Time to think up some genius esoteric Beach Boys setlists

Hmm, 1967 TV spot with Brian:

Wild Honey
I Was Made To Love Her
Here Comes The night
Let The Wind Blow [Brian at the piano, boys surrounding, group vocal]


Another Monterey setlist:

Here Comes The Night
Good To My Baby
The Little Girl I Once Knew
California Girls
You Still Believe In Me
God Only Knows
I Know There's An Answer
Good Vibrations
Wild Honey
Wind Chimes
With Me Tonight
Wonderful
Whistle In
Our Prayer
Heroes and Villains
Do You Like Worms
Barnyard [whole crowd makes cacophonous animal noises]
Child Is Father Of The Man [freak out extended piece, 10 minutes long at least]
Surf's Up [full group, whole crowd sings ending tag, everyone has shivers]

a setlist for a preview of Smile's greatness to a crowd:


Heroes and Villains
Do you Like Worms
Barnyard / I'm In Great Shape
Cabinessence [Brian turns the Baldwin to 11 on the ending tag drone]
Wonderful
Look / Child
Surf's Up
FIRE

Cool cover but the set is a bit boring. This is fantasy time, friend. Why did you not include Can't Wait Too Long? Just imagine all those stoned hippies grooving to that for 20 minutes.

These Monterey sets are a blast, but several of you have forgotten that the best has to be saved for the encore -  Fun Fun Fun, Help Me Rhonda and Barbara Ann.

That would be an epic encore, with the hippies grooving to those songs one last time in happiness before the counterculture went into the hell of 1968.

Mine's a better LA which I've posted tons of times but will do again (even if he chronolgy is impossible!):

3   Down the Coastline/Song of the Whale
4   Santa Ana Winds
5   Full Sail
6   California Feeling
7   Country Pie
8   Good Timin'
9   Love Surrounds Me
10 Baby Blue
11 Angel Come Home
12 She's Just Out to Get You

Today to include Guess I'm Dumb

Sunflower to be a double album

Surf's Up to include WIBNTLA and 4th of July

CATP to include Out in the Country, All Life is One, It's a New Day, Ten Years harmony

Holland to include We Got Love, Sweet Mountain, TM (the Charles Lloyd one!) and Carry Me Home

In Concert to include more songs that originated in the post 1969 period but also DW singing Rhonda

A DW Rarities

Brian to re-record the best of the Paley stuff and the best (?) of Sweet Insanity and add a few more tracks he has lying around

My SMiLE Stop gap album with a mixture of old songs and new covers,

Wow, I just read this first time after making it and ran thruogh it in my head in a nanosecond. It was amazing! God, ending with FIRE!!! That's so intense - that IS witchcraft!!! imagine at montery they play all those amazing psychedelic songs and then BURN IT ALL INTO THE ETHER with FIRE. Amazing. It could be an extended FiRE jam for 20 minutes. Brian sets the baldwin on fire and keeps playing. The crowd is mesmorized. Fire has brought about the armageddon.

Fire as the last track would be such a zenmindfuck wouldn't it? Leave you with very strange vibes - but paranoia feels good sometimes.

why hasnt anyone recorded a smile cover album using nothing but a baldwin organ

buy me one and i'll cover BW's entire catalog on it - promise

seconded.

Anyone have any ideas for a "improved" 15 Big Ones?

15 Soft Spongy Self-Lubricating Birth Canels.

My cover for above-mentioned fantasy Light Album.

The Beach Boys Like You

I don't think I've ever heard of All Life Is One, what's the deal with that

Also a Charles Lloyd song. To be found on his Warm Waters album. The Wilson bros and Al are singing on it, I think.

I did do some experiments with Smiley/Lei'd rehearsals sounding Smile arrangements a few years ago.  The organ didn't sound right, but it's an interesting idea. 

Laid in Hawaii encore:

Barnyard
Holiday
Child is the  Father of the Man
Cabinessence
FIRE

After the set the entire band goes out into the crowd and hand picks 20 lovely hawaiin girls for pleasuring.

And the back of fantasy LA.  Don't know why these aren't posting full size...

I'm really confused as to why Good to My Baby, Fun Fun Fun, I Get Around, and Help Me Rhonda are included on a setlist for the Monterey Pop Festival, I'd think these particular songs would be considered counter-hip to the cause of the Pop show...The Boys would be laughed off the stage, especially in the 'Doris Day Striped Shirt Freedom Shirts.'

I've posted quite a few proposed 15 Big Ones tracklists...just gotta find em on here somewhere... ;)

I doubt it. The crowd was there for good music. The Beach Boys were still hip, and the crowd would've respected that I think.

exactly my plankman, thuswhy i suggested songs like Here Comes The Night and Do You Like Worms to show the world, this band is incredibly cool

On this board the limit on picture links is limited to a width of 500. So regardless the quality or size of the picture you upload a width of 500 is the max you'll get. But if one wants to see the full size picture they can click with the right mouse button and save / watch it.

actually I changed my mind - you have no idea what you're talking about. GOOD TO MY BABY is one of the hippest songs I've ever heard. The chord changes are the sort of thing that people THINK the Beatles do, but don't, and The Beach Boys did, but people think they didn't. Likewise with I Get Around - incredibly cool song! Ok the lyrics are a bit hokey, I'm making real good bread.... we don't care about your wealth you rich white bastard, just play that funky music.

If the MOntery drops outs couldn't dig Good To Mah Baby, Run Run Run, I Get Around, then they're not cool anyway, they're posers. Help Me Rhonda, since Al Jardine has poisoned its memory by cuntrifying it... I can take or leave.

The chord changes in Good To My Baby are pretty standard aren't they ghost?

Lol 'cuntrifying'.

No, they are cosmic rock & roll chord changes.

Ah. Right you are.

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear!  >:D
