Title: 1974 - On The Road With The Beach Boys
Post by: Ed Roach on December 04, 2009, 10:04:35 PM
Billy Hinsche had posted this on BBB as "Happy Birthday, Dennis"  (Thank you, Billy)

From a soon-to-be-released documentary DVD by musician and filmmaker Billy Hinsche.
This rare, behind-the-scenes footage was shot during the Beach Boys April and May tours of 1974.

Whoa! I can't wait to see more.  :) I noticed that there is one frame of the film that seems to have been used for a certain bootleg cd. It's a shame that Brian isn't there in the footage.

I've asked before, but no response:

Is the 'Forever' documentary worth watching?  I've seen some bad reports, but it's only £3.  Would still rather not waste the time, if need be.

Dear Billy,

This is so great !!! I can't wait to see the entire film, and I can't tell both you and Desi what an honor it is for you to have chosen my arrangement and performance of your great song.
Aloha and Mahalo from Kaneohe, Hawaii

It is available on Netflix if you want to sampe it before you buy it.

To each his own.  I found it worthy of owning.

Will it feature the actual BBs concert music as it was played, or is it silent on-stage video with music added afterwards?

Hard to imagine he got the rights to release BBs live music, but i'll live in hope.

I don't know what people were expecting from Forever. I just think it was so cool how he showed so many different people who were connected to Dennis and the Beach Boys.

I've always thought mike was a good looking guy, and the 70's seemed kindest to him. Besides Dennis, Mike was the only one who seemed aware of the changing styles and kept up with them. I even like his farmer-hippie thing he's got goin' here.

Whenever I think of early seventies Beach Boys, what comes to mind immediately is Mike Love's trademark look circa 1971. I think that this particular look really helped shaping the group's image when they were so desperately trying to leave a bit of their old selves behind, for better or for worse.

Brian still looked good in 1969-71. There's a great picture of him and Carl I saw in a Carl Wilson foundtation booklet with their newborns in 1970 and Brian looks down to his I Get Around era weight. As far as Mike looking cool I think he did look pretty hip around the Smile period.

Mike looks like Bonny Prince Billy, and he's cool. Mike should have stuck with the hippy/guru look and writing good songs. It worked, for a while. Compare Mike on Sunflower vs Looking Back With Love.

Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on December 10, 2009, 07:54:41 AM
I have always thought Mike was the coolest looking dude on stage up through 1977 or so. Except for that gold silk look in 74 or 75. Carl and Al were always the most boring to look at for me. Although, they vastly improved with beards. Dennis was so energetic and a great performer. But I was never attracted to him. Nor any of the BBs for that matter. I like the Honeys.

Don't take this the wrong way, but whomever here thinks that Mike Love looks good, must be a male.......there's not enough money in the world for me to get near the guy. Never thought he looked even minimially decent.  It's definitely Dennis all the way, with Carl a good second. IMHO as a female.

There are plenty of women who obviously disagree with you as Mike must have doinked more than his fair share.

...But now a study has found that cringeworthy dancing by middle-aged men is largely down to evolution.

Psychologist Dr Peter Lovatt of the University of Hertfordshire found that men between 35 and their sixties practise embarrassing dance moves to repel younger women...

Hmmm...   I keep waiting now for the board to light up...  Guess for somewhat obvious reasons, I've received an early mailing. 
Made me think Billy was really trying to get it to people in time for Christmas.
I'll say one thing, and one thing only - (for now, at least) - while you've seen parts of this before, expect something like you've never seen before.  This truly is a gem...

You're making me very anxious to see this, Ed.
