I just saw there was an album released digitally on November 20, 2020 called America Salutes You Presents: Guitar Legends 4 which features Billy Gibbons & Mike Love dueting on “409.” It samples the original Beach Boys recording at the beginning and then cuts into the new recording. From some cursory googling, it looks like America Salutes You Presents: Guitar Legends 4 is some sort of fundraising special, so perhaps there is a video component to this out there if anyone is able to track it down.

This was excellent! Mike sounded great, especially on those low notes. This has great energy.

I like how Billy doubles Mike, but Mike's voice still stands out as lead, similar to the way Brian would shadow Jan Berry on Surf City, Ride The Wild Surf, etc...

Hey, must say thats rather good
Who knew that Billy is also into TM
Interesting that it was recorded at the Foos Studio, did anyone tell Dennis Mark2 (Taylor Hawkins) ?

BB Top? (ducking)  ;D

Mike did have a precursor to the ZZ Top beard back in 1970  :lol

Wow, 14 more tracks and you might have an even crappier album than Stars and Stripes on your hands!

That was great

That was better than expected...but my expectations were pretty low. :lol
