Are cover art and track listing pages available to download?

Just read the set lists. At least a Beach Boys song got played that weekend. Johnny Rivers opened with "Help Me Rhonda."

Desper, Do you Remember part of the setlist intended?

Stephen- I think he meant the full setlist the BB had planned to play had they played the show.

It's been said that another reason for their pull-out was that Brian was afraid the group would be laughed at, with their striped shirts and clean-cut image. Any truth to that, Stephen?

COMMENT to c-man:  Yes.
Judging from the 'Lei'd In Hawaii' tapes, he was right. Although, I've always thought that if they'd played a set like they did  on the organ dominated,  in-studio  supposed 'rehearsals' for that gig, they would have come off well.

It seems Mike has turned out to be rather ambivalent about the subject. In his book, he wrote something akin to (paraphrasing, because I don't want to comb through the book for the quote) "without (Brian doing) drugs, we might have had ten "Good Vibrations." On the other hand, without the drugs we might not have had one 'Good Vibrations.'"

"Brian is The Beach Boys. We're just his fucking messengers" said someone who should know.

The case for her being a forgetful senior citizen might hold up except for the fact that she's been making the same claims for at least the last 25 years or more.

Probably not. But, really, she doesn't have to be. As Carol has said many times, all of her claims will be proven when the Russ Wapensky book comes out. Release date - The 12th of Never.

It would be one thing if Carol Kaye was just claiming "Surfing USA". But she is notorious for claiming to have played on records that she either didn't play on or work that ended up not being used ('Good Vibrations' being a good example. Unless my eyes deceive me, according to the GV session credits in the Smile box, none of her work ended up on the master recording.) Her early Motown claims are notorious and have been disproved by the master tapes with session chatter from the Funk Brothers preceding the released takes. She has also claimed such songs as Elvis's "Suspicious Minds" (Cut in Memphis with Mike Leech on bass), Del Shannon's "Runaway" (Bell Sound Studio in NYC w/Milt Hinton on bass) Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man" ( Memphis with Tommy Cogbill on bass - this one pisses me off the most because it's my favorite bass performance of all time.) "Last Train To Clarksville" by the Monkees (Larry Taylor on bass), the Doors' "Light My Fire" (Larry Knechtel on bass) and many more. She has been confronted with these discrepancies on more than one occasion and her sessionography may have been altered accordingly in the ensuing years (one would hope so). But at one time or another, she has claimed to have played on way too many songs that she wasn't on for her to be let off lightly.  Again, this isn't just about "Surfing USA."

Anyone here watch Jeopardy?  They had a 'Wrecking Crew' category a couple nights ago.  The BBs, CK and Hal B. all made it into the questions.

Carol thinks because she played on the movie score sessions for Shaft , that she is on the hit single and soundtrack album. You hear Carol if you watch the movie, but the soundtrack album - including the single - was cut in Memphis with the Bar-Kays. And as far as Herb Alpert goes - I was once told never to bring up the name Ollie Mitchell around him or his admirers.

If Rhino doesn't pick this up for distribution they should be ashamed of themselves.
