Title: Let's Live Before We Die Post by: brother john on May 07, 2010, 05:18:18 AM Does anyone know anything about this track, anything at all?
Its one of my favourite unreleased tracks, and its such a shame that BW couldn't make it work. The Wrecking Crew - especially whoever was on bass and guitar - should be ashamed of themselves for messing it up so badly as there are great clumsy mistakes on every take. Its a real shame as it has some lovely changes and was recorded during a very fertile period for BW. Even though it has a pretty standard arrangement (though who knows what he might have decided to augment it with on later tracks) its still pretty different from pretty much everything of the time.

Title: Re: Let's Live Before We Die Post by: brother john on May 07, 2010, 09:31:12 AM this was from the All Summer Long (album) era, correct? April 1964. Actually, I'm listening to it again and I think it was actually the Boys themselves, as various names are bandied about (Carl, Dennis, presumably Al is there playing the bass with his feet). Its a shame he didn't try it again when they were all a bit more rehearsed. I'd love to know what melody Brian had in his head for this. Title: Re: Let's Live Before We Die Post by: Andrew G. Doe on May 07, 2010, 12:16:12 PM April 29th, allegedly, but that's open to question.
Title: Re: Let's Live Before We Die Post by: brother john on May 08, 2010, 07:31:46 AM Hmm, that's not much is it? We have the date and that's it? Maybe that's all there is to know about it.
Title: Re: Let's Live Before We Die Post by: Andrew G. Doe on May 08, 2010, 08:15:09 AM The date is open to question - there is an AFM sheet for 4/29/64... but the only titles it lists are "Don't Back Down" & "We'll Run Away".
Musicians listed are the band (all five) plus Ray Pohlman & Hal Blaine. |
