Title: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: buddhahat on July 30, 2012, 01:44:02 AM (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6w6McdhANI0/UBZMVEqgH0I/AAAAAAAAAdc/xfJTj8_RXW8/s1600/Concert:london.jpg)
I have to confess I only bought the twofer for Live In London so I'm largely unfamiliar with Concert. I'll have to give it a few spins before casting my vote ... Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: MBE on July 30, 2012, 02:48:57 AM Hey don't we need a vote box?
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: buddhahat on July 30, 2012, 02:55:32 AM Hey don't we need a vote box? I have to add the pole retrospectively as the "New Poll" thing doesn't work, so there's usually a minute or two where the post doesn't have vote buttons. If you still can't see them it may be a problem with your browser. Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: Freddie French-Pounce on July 30, 2012, 02:58:44 AM Live In London all the way. Concert is nice, but it has too many Covers and too much studio tinkering for my liking - I only got the LP for I Get Around after all! Plus, LiL has a nice selection of Mike's comedy all over it - it feels more natural.
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: shelter on July 30, 2012, 03:09:22 AM I very rarely listen to Concert, but Live in London is my favorite Beach Boys live album. Wake The World, Aren't You Glad and no car songs: now that's my kind of Beach Boys setlist!
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: lee on July 30, 2012, 03:12:00 AM Definitely Live in London. More interesting setlist and I absolutely love the performance of Darlin'. I prefer it over the studio version.
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: buddhahat on July 30, 2012, 03:18:03 AM Yeah, had a listen to Concert to refresh my memory. It's a great snapshot of the band's show at this stage, but Live In London is really something special with tracks from Friends and Wild Honey. It's a great set list.
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: MBE on July 30, 2012, 03:57:02 AM Live In London is musically better, but having Brian in his prime makes Concert a tad more interesting for me
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: filledeplage on July 30, 2012, 06:20:30 AM Live in London, with Mike's intro in Spanish, to Bluebirds!
God Only Knows And, Wake the World! ;) Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: Sheriff John Stone on July 30, 2012, 07:57:51 AM I would vote for the garage-vibe, Brian-led Concert, but that studio enhanced applause is TOO LOUD and annoying. It actually affects the listening experience. So, I'll vote for Live In London!
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: BB Universe on July 30, 2012, 01:08:52 PM Live in London for me. More original material.
Title: Re: Twofer polls #6, Beach Boys Concert vs Live In London Post by: MBE on August 05, 2012, 03:33:13 AM Live In London is great but I miss Brian on that one so bad. His voice was so good in 1968 I can't help thinking what he could have added. In Concert I accept it more because they have altered their sound and have a some stuff Brian didn't have much to do with on to start with on there. What the 1973 one lacks is enough Dennis.

Infinitely superior in every way (well, Almost. At least Concert has a Dennis Wilson lead, and Barbara Ann is somehow on London unfortunatly) |
