I feel Carl's absence much more on the record than in the live concert experience. I think it's partially due to becoming accustomed to seeing Brian and his band over the past decade plus, and the fact that for me Carl's soaring vocals were the big redeeming factor in much of the later Beach Boys material (California Dreamin' and Kokomo to name two).

QVC seemed to suggest here and there that the cd would ship early, so I ordered it from them (along with their bonus CD) even though I had already pre-ordered it on Amazon. And yes in the meantime I downloaded the leak because I'm impatient. Then early today the 24bit version became available on HDtracks so I purchased that, which sounds great and will be my go-to listening version. The Amazon pre-order arrived at the house later this afternoon. It's still in the wrapping and I'm thinking of passing it along as a gift. That QVC version? Hasn't even shipped yet last I checked. I may keep it due to the bonus disc as a collectable I haven't decided yet.
This is the first time a major purchase such as this has been available on the day of release as a 24bit download (at least, a major purchase I've been interested in). The post CD era may have arrived.

Did not see Billy or Rob with California Saga. They sounded good, I wish they did a proper opening set instead of just two songs. I got a little choked up seeing Justyn singing Carl's parts on "All This Is That"
Who was the guy that came out and played accordion for one song, standing between Scott and Darian??

What's here that's particularly revelatory? That Brian may have at one point said he was "faking it"? He also said he burned the SMiLE tapes. Brian has a history of giving a short easy answer when he doesn't feel like pontificating on a particular topic. What would you expect from Brian, a lengthy clinical explanation of his problems?! Loren seems like somebody who felt accused and guilty for many years, and clearly doesn't have an understanding of mental illness (or hasn't followed Brian's subsequent life very closely, probably both).
