I love the guy to pieces without knowing him personally, save for a phone interview 20 years ago and a couple of brief encounters in 2001 and 2005. I also find it cosmically eerie that an interview I did with Mike Love about a June 21 concert the Beach Boys are doing in Montreal was published the day Brian died.

Some of the musical flourishes on the backing track of Break Away are similar to those on the backing track of This Whole World, to my ears.

Looks as though Dae Lims has been very busy in his lab...and has been focused on backing tracks.

Fifty (50!) of them, to be exact...

He's sure to "sell a million units"....on May 25th.  

How did that old phrase go..."be there or be square"?

Listening to it now, via a link on the Good Vibrations video, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44jdOErCSJo. Excellent work and great sound. Maybe it should have been called Stack O' 50 Big Ones.

More clearer demos.

And another one! Clearer sounding versions of Brian demos.

Finally, new from Dae Lims. The Night Was So Young.

From Record Collector again - Blondie's reason for quitting the BBs:
'Chaplin: My wife came to Madison Square Garden and was given tickets in the nosebleed section, and I wasn't too happy with that. I said to Mike Love's brother, Stephen, who was the business manager at the time, "This is bullshit. We're in the band, and these are our wives." And he didn't like the way I said that, so he landed me a few blows. I didn't say anything back. I was just full of tears, and said to myself, f*** it, I don't need this sh*t. There was a New Year's Eve gig in Long Beach, and I didn't show up. Everybody thought I was nuts, but I wasn't going to be treated that way. And I still feel good about leaving. No regrets.'

1. I thought in the case of Blondie, it was Stephen's reaction to a family tragedy that prompted him to quit.
2. Linett and Boyd seem to strongly indicate in their interview that a Brian's Back-era set will be coming out next year, going from Brother Records sessions with Brian, Carl and Dennis in 1974 to the MIU era. Was also surprised to see that the BBs were performing Be My Baby and other covers in concert in 1963.

Could it be Brian demos in higher fidelity, and including the immortal Lazy Lizzie?

New from Dae Lims, an audio upgrade of a Brian track from 1987.

To say the only good track on Party is Barbara Ann is a mortal sin, as Devoted To You is a stunner.

A couple of things I did like:
1. Seeing a few more seconds of that footage of 1970s Brian looking at the camera and hiding his face, now in color and including Marilyn.
2. Brian's smile at Paradise Cove when he greets Al.

Thoughts about Mike getting choked up in that interview near the end?

Does anyone know the year and source of the archival interviews where Brian's voice is at its most youthful?

Pretty nice sounding stereo mix of Surfin' Safari in the documentary.

Here's the direct YouTube link to this little video clip:

Al mentioned in a Q&A on one of his recent cruise gigs that the filmmakers didn't even want them to do any playing/singing, and he had to convince them to let him have a guitar on hand just in case they might want to sing together. Subsequently, several have mentioned that they sang a few songs together during this meet-up.

But it might be worth pondering the question, what if the filmmakers kept to their original idea of just making this essentially a "photo op" situation in the documentary? Wouldn't it be kind of nuts if they didn't even include any of the songs from that day in the final documentary? It would be nuts.....right?

I guess Frank Marshall likes Duophonic!

From Dae Lims, a superb Good Vibrations AI stereo remix.

Now here's an interesting idea-Caroline No not by Brian Wilson, but by the Beach Boys.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYpHaG9niRI

No young Brian on old Brian songs. Please.

The old BW songs gain their power from him being, well, old.

To his credit, Dae Lims gets this and has been very careful in his approach. Desert Drive is a full latter day BB version. The Like in I Love You have been given a full band treatment, but it’s not even a BW melody. His L&M toured the history of BW vocal approaches. That’s all amazing and excellent.

But putting a young BW on MAD, for example, or the Paley tracks — it just doesn’t work or make aesthetic sense. The young BW wouldn’t have written or produced those songs.

Agreed, with maybe one exception--I think many folks would like to hear a song like "I'll Bet He's Nice" with a Sunflower-Surf's Up era vocal blend and younger-ish lead vocals. I'm not sure if that would absolutely necessitate a significant reworking of the backing track as well, but it would be interesting to hear regardless...

Here's one attempt.

The latest from Dae Lims. A complete Honey Get Home, very Wild Honey-style.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pXoctCEZkA

I would slaughter something for a 1964-style “Midnight’s Another Day”

I would go for a 1970-71 version, with a vocal and instrumentation that emulate the sadness and starkness of 'Til I Die.

New Dae Lims just dropped.

I doubt even the harshest ai critics would have any problem with this type of mix.
A new stereo mix using ai tools for stem seperation.

It sparkles!

Hi guys,

Really appreciate all the kind words!

Next up is an AI 1963 live show featuring only songs they never played live. I'm 4 songs in - having a lot of fun with this one.

Stay tuned!

I'm not afraid to be gushy here. Words cannot express my adoration of your work.

Did anyone rip the audio? I was going to (I had a feeling) but decided to answer nature’s call first.

It was beautiful.

I'd love to hear this, as well, hoping someone got it.

I've been looking for alternates on YouTube, nothing yet.

Oh God, this is gorgeous, and especially poignant in light of Melinda's passing, it's basically a memorial... Dae Lims' Love and Mercy with young and progressively older Brian and the Beach Boys. I think there are some onions I'll go peel...

Update: Oh crap, it's just been removed. Dae Lims was getting a lot of kudos, but also grief from some posters for being disrespectful, which puzzles me. The video began with early-to-mid 1960s Brian, switched to late 1960s-early 1970s, then to mid-to-late 1970s with some Love You synth thrown in, back to early 1960s and then current Brian.
