Title: Backing musicians on this clip Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on August 30, 2014, 08:23:57 PM http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh0MRRgGNVM
I have seen clips from this concert many times. But it just occurred to me I don't recognize the backing musicians. Were these regular Beach Boy musicians at the time, or were they part of the occasion or what?

What are the names of those players in page 151 in Jon and Ian's book? Because I don't see any of the usual guys like Ed, Daryl, Kowalski or Billy. I also didn't think they toured with horns as late as 1971. Heroes & Villains also sounds like it's being played at a slower pace in this clip than what I'm used to hearing from this era.

Mike Love Carl Wilson Al Jardine Dennis Wilson Bruce Johnston Carli Munoz - congas/percussion Mike Kowalski - drums Daryl Dragon - piano/organ Sal Marquez - flute Joel Peskin - horns Luther Coffee - bass The Horn Dogs: Roger Newman Glenn Ferris Mike Price Don't see Ed Carter - maybe Coffee was filling in for him at this gig.
