If someone hears anything different, please update!
FYI, this is the link to the YouTube channel for the Bridge School benefit which streamed it last year, and also posted videos from the show.

But, just in case it's worth checking the link anyway! Maybe they'll post it after the fact as highlights on that YouTube channel or something.

Dunno if he's just off camera, or taking a break, or what. Cool they did the song, though.

Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 26, 2014, 12:56:19 AM With Alan ànd David. Brian (or his team) posted a couple of pictures from rehearsals. No David - that pic with him is about a year old. David didn't rehearse with them because he's not appearing. Just to make things totally clear. ;D Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: STE on October 26, 2014, 01:15:45 AM California Girls: http://youtu.be/cO4nf3QEZ-Y (http://youtu.be/cO4nf3QEZ-Y) God Only Knows: http://youtu.be/waOBfwSOl7o (http://youtu.be/waOBfwSOl7o) California: http://youtu.be/3gn_5_0boMs (http://youtu.be/3gn_5_0boMs) (another angle) Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: GuyO on October 26, 2014, 04:19:19 AM Ah, then I jumped to a wrong conclusion after seeing that picture. My bad.
Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Rocker on October 26, 2014, 06:38:49 AM Brian's people just posted a short video of Al, Brian and Neil rehearsing "California" backstage. Don't know how to post it here though

Don't know how to post it here though I guess you can't, since it's a Facebook video upload. :P It was really neat to see it, though. That'e the stuff Facebook is good for. :-DTitle: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: filledeplage on October 26, 2014, 06:56:05 AM Clip of California w/ Neil Young: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmEHjnLhxlo That is fabulous! Thanks for the video! Love the use of the acoustic piano, gives a great unplugged feel and just wow! Go Darian! And, how Bennett is so enthusiastic as he performs! He does rock! I'm truly jealous! ;) Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Nicko1234 on October 26, 2014, 07:27:38 AM Clip of California w/ Neil Young: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmEHjnLhxlo Yep, I really like this too. Hopefully they will add it to the set list more regularly.

Yet a video where Al is surprisingly off key is in full. More BW leads, please!!!

Fantastic I love how the Bridge School stuff has facilitated these kind of collaborations over the years! Good old Neil. Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Smilin Ed H on October 27, 2014, 12:24:46 PM Anyone got a report about the actual show?

In addition to that, he should be forced to listen to Murry "i'm a genius too" Wilson and Phil "He's koo-koo" Spector on an endless wall of sound loop while trying to perform Good Vibrations.

Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Pretty Funky on October 27, 2014, 09:03:48 PM Brian on Cali Girls. Pretty average IMO.

Pretty average IMO. http://youtu.be/rTFOr8V4qvE I'd say average is being generous. The falsetto at the end sounds like Mike's impression of Brian in Cassius vs. Sonny.

The falsetto at the end sounds like Mike's impression of Brian in Cassius vs. Sonny. Sounds like a famous character whom resides in Disneyland.

Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on October 28, 2014, 12:14:59 AM Not that bad...I've heard worse, but Brian never really does that song that well. And yeah, Ike kinda did sound Mickey Mouse-ish in a way.
Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Nicko1234 on October 28, 2014, 01:20:07 AM Ike sounds rather similar to recent Jeff performances of this song there (ie. not very good). Randell and Matt both did a better job imo.

http://www.wmmr.com/music/news/story.aspx?ID=2166169 www.facebook.com/roachclips68 Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Mikie on October 28, 2014, 05:49:46 PM What the Hell's Al doing? He's a guitar player, not a damn tambourine player! He's more like a third wheel here than a guest appearer.
Ike sounds like Dean Torrence. Sounds pretty strained on the high notes on Good Vibrations. And Brian with his repetitive "Now!" takes away from greatness of the song. Bring back Matt. This was a concert I would have attended years before (it's about 15 miles from my house) when Neil had some good guests. Just to sit through a few unknown bands to watch Brian and his band sing a handful of songs and Neil at the encore really isn't worth the effort for me anymore. After many years of fun at Shoreline, the Bridge Benefit Concerts are going away, maybe as early as next near. Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Niko on October 28, 2014, 06:36:52 PM Matt Jardine once made a great post about how hard singing falsetto live really is. Ike hasn't done many shows with Brian - and wouldn't this have been the biggest crowd he's ever performed for? I say cut him some slack and wait til the NPP tour to truly assess the dude as a performer...also, the She Knows Me Too Well clip sounded really, really good to me.
Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Mikie on October 28, 2014, 07:02:34 PM Bring back Matt.
Title: Re: Brian at Bridge School Benefit Post by: Shady on October 28, 2014, 07:16:20 PM I read a lot of comments saying Brian's set was the highlight of the night and really enjoyable. As usual Brian's live show divides opinion among the causal listener.
Cool picture of Brian's tour bus (https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/10577044_856421714391012_2027044863809094829_n.jpg?oh=6e3525b0cc3411077c9ca7fd66134674&oe=54E77FBE&__gda__=1420905102_53905abfcc110602ae1af3aefd5d5c70) |
