According to my browser the show is still going (Brian portion is over)... I would assume it won't be available for at least an hour.

Definitely the WH SU - good lord! Only a few bits, but it's utterly sublime! So...mellow...clear, clean, and articulate, it has the inimitable WH vibe whilst maintaining the clarity & brilliance of the double-tracked solo version. This one is single tracked I reckon.

Also some new sessions.  And that CIFOTM is sooooooooooooo clean.

Wow.  Speechless.

Listening to it now.

-Awesome Our Prayer session. Haven't heard that before for sure.

-Surf's Up track sounds like it's mixed a bit differently then the GV box set version.

-Vega-Tables session (think the tag) is played. Pretty cool.

-Another Vega-Tables session. Sounds like the one hidden track mentioned (vega-tables chomping)

-Heroes and Villains played. Same one we've heard on Tongal.

-Part of Wild Honey Surf's Up played...wow  :o That chord change really is amazing. Very interesting.

-Child is Father of the Man is so clear!  :) Sounded a bit odd though like some tape loss or something (shifted briefly to the left at times). May have just been the low quality and/or the broadcast.

That's all I've really listened to. Gotta head out soon.

So the podcast gives sufficient warning when stuff like SU 1967 are to be played?...I just wanna hear that in full the first time I hear it  :angel: so I won't listen to the podcast if it risks that!


Title: Re: Radio 4 Interview SPOILER
Post by: STE on October 21, 2011, 03:04:36 PM

I used Desmondo's list as reference. however they talk about SU for a bit before (I guess) they play the 67 version.

Wow! That was very cool. I laughed out loud when Brian was being asked about the VT session if he remembered it and he came right back with "no!".

Then there's the bit where Brian told Mike something to the effect of, if he didn't want to keep growing, then he should stop living...

As Vincent Vega might have said, tha's a bol' statement.

Brian makes some deep statements when he is annoyed by Mike.... :hat

Okay, judging from the podcast, at least SOME of what "Leila" posted wasn't fake...the podcast includes the "Surf's Up" modulation in the exact same place Leila's description said.

FWIW, the song starts out a semi-tone lower than all other versions, but on the line "Come about hard..." it goes up to the normal key.

Remember those people that were saying that Brian's voice was shot by mid-late 67'.... Umm Surfs Up 67..

All fine and good but do we REALLY need one more guy sitting there calling the Beach Boys "just singers" and "not geniuses" like Brian?

Hey now! any punching in the dick is reserved for the inevitable OSD/Myke face off!!!

But seriously: anyone who gives the world POB/Bambu should be considered a genius for my money.

Sigh... sounds to me like he's not familiar with the Dennis Wilson canon.

Sounds to me like he was speaking about The Beach Boys circa 1967 - at which time you can't argue that the others really weren't "just singers".

Yeah, but WHAT SINGERS!!!!!

How good there were and that blend shouldn't be shrugged off like this guy does.

Man, Surf's Up sounds sooooooo good. I love the sound of that piano. Brings back a lot of good memories of first listening to Wild Honey.

You'll find it on iTunes.

Child and Prayer sound absolutely incredible. Goosebumps... Couldn't listen to Surf's Up though. I'm saving that one  :angel:

God that WH Surf's Up appears to be one of the best songs I've ever heard and I'll ever hear, what a sound, it feels even closer as if we were in the studio booth...truly truly beautiful.
