Don't know about "Live in London", but "In Concert" and "SFH&B" def. were heavily edited. If I'm not mistaken, "Caroline No" from "In Concert" was actually spliced together from more than one show.

Oh, don't get me wrong,the one I went was *not* a half-assed show at all. Despite being under the weather, Brian kicked ass that night. L&M was the only one that he kinda blew off, and really it actually sounded kinda cool.

You were there too? Ha...I was the guy that, during the cigarette lighter routine, I was the one who said "But I Just quit smoking" and made Brian laugh.

My mom had a cat named Christ O' Furr.

Saturday Morning In The Kitty? I suppose there are worse ways to start the weekend.

Holy foda dude...that may be the funniest thing on the board ever.

As I said, I've never seen the depressed performing bear. Brian's too mercurial for that, if you ask me. There are definitely some songs he gets into more than others (and sometimes those songs are, sadly, Barbra Ann and HMR), but I've always been able to count on him knocking GOK and L&M out of the park.

The show I went to, 23 Oct 2004, was awesome *except* for those two songs, oddly enough. GOK he had a coughing fit during the second verse (but didn't miss a beat!), but that's not on him. The one song that night where it was actually obvious that he couldn't wait to leave was L&M, sadly enough...he actually spoke/half-sung most of the song . Because of the earlier issues with GOK, though, it was obvious that he wasn't feeling so well, so I wasn't bummed about it.

You're right. Why did the Beach Boys even bother trying to play songs like "God Only Knows" live? It's not like they played on those records - they just sang. They should have just played the instrumental and sung over it. Who would've cared? Also, I only make a point about Brian playing the keyboard because he's always sitting right in front of one. Give him a bass or something, I don't care. While some Brian Wilson fans might not care about Brian playing, I do, and I think I have every right to.

Yep.

Does anyone know what songs were cut from the "KTSA" sessions that would've improved the album had they been kept on the final tracklist?

Well, IMHO the version of "oh Darlin" with Brian on lead. His vocals may be "weaker" than Carl's at that point, but it seems to give the track more character.

Well, it could be worse...it could be a cover of "Time After Time".



Ahem.

That was it...Target. Yeah, so it's "new" in the sense that it is actually going to be widely available now. Don't be surprised if in the next year or two we get the Hallmark CD "newly" released to a wider outlet.

Oh brother 

Old news... It was indeed released several years ago. This is a re-release for the entire CD, which I think wasn't in wide circulation before.

Very well put Dada...you said everything I was feeling, in a much more articulate way than myself.

Good points, but I was referring to "Shut Down",  "409" , and "Little Deuce Coupe". Maybe some of it is my own personal bias, but I'd rather see Brian perform more interesting material. That was great when he was doing "I'd Love just once to see you" last year or so, or "Time to Get Alone" or "Til I Die" or "let It Shine" during the early solo tours.  I also don't like the idea of Foskett singing lead on a few tracks. He may have a better voice than Brian does in this day and age, but I personally want to hear *Brian* sing all of the leads. If he can't do it, either lower the key or drop it from the show! Again, a fair bit of it is my own personal bias, but if I'm spending hard earned money, I want to see the guy I paid money to see sing lead actually sing lead. If I wanted to hear somebody else sing "Don't Worry Baby", for example, I'd...go see somebody else sing DWB. Even if Brian does it badly, I want to see him.

I hope that didn't come off too harshly. Not that it affects me personally...I doubt he'll ever come back to Houston any time soon...glad I got to see him when I did!

I "Imagination play" for several days every month out of necessity, but that's neither here nor there.

Ahem.

That was BEYOND terrible. I actually like Coldplay, but that was truly pathetic.

Dear god...

Maybe she should be taken down to the shelter and be neutered....

All kidding aside though, these types of things make me sick.

Cocaine

A cat named "Cocaine"? That sounds like something Pete Doherty could come up with lol.

I still like 'Pawthorne", dammit.

Moving this to the Sandbox, as it's not on topic.

Most of the things she said were so outrageous (she was sitting on Brian's lap and he was playing with her hair  (ew!) and asked "Blue, how can I make Smile better?

You mean she actually goes by her screen name?! I mean, yeah, right now my screen name is my real name, but for f***'s sake. Brian won't play the keyboard on stage, but he'll play with her hair. Riiight.

[P]

Good one...try this...

Pawthorne

Didn't come out...let me try

I second punkinhead on "smiley", but gotta say...Mona, Caroline, Marcella, and Wendy are not good names for male cats

[cat]

Post a picture of him...that'll help.

Choosing the right name is important. The wrong name can be a catastrophe.

Why not Wilson?
