The sale of memorabilia from the Caribou Ranch collection offers a rare opportunity for music fans to access the music, instruments and memorabilia of the studio, but even more unique is the opportunity to acquire the quality, rustic items used daily by artists on the ranch, which remind us that at times, everyone, even a music legend, just needs to “get away.”  <<

Many of the pictures from Caribou are in the 1974 Beach Boys concert program. Don't remember seeing the ones of Dennis and Carl above though. I use to have those same Sennheiser headphones that Dennis is wearing. Excellent! The way Dennis hit those skins, it's surprising those lamps on the walls were still there......

Got to be fake. The Beach Boys didn't play on their own records remember. ;)

Or that the sprinkler above his head didn't go off.

Lovely deep (Ludwig) snare.

Back to the The Wrecking Crew Facebook page with you ;D

History would suggest the sprinklers never went off (a little fire that did or didn't destroy some tapes).

Interesting to see how they miked the kit, as well.

On page 2 of the photos; David Hasselhoff cut his recording artist teeth here?

Love the pictures!  :afro
