The Sloop bass line is one of my all time favorites.

So Brian was present for How She Boogalooed It?

No session tape apparently survives, but only 3 Beach Boys are listed on the AFM sheet for that tune: Brian, Carl, and Bruce.
Cool, thanks! In your experience, would someone providing handclaps get listed on the AFM sheet? What I'm getting at is that if Mike was not providing the handclaps, could this be the only BB song that Mike was involved in writing but not in recording?

New date: July 7 at Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
What's the deal with so many festival shows?
57  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Beach Boys Songs Without Mike Love on: January 03, 2017, 10:22:42 PM
Isn't "Come Go With Me" just a stack of Al Jardines?

Also, "In My Car" off the "Still Cruisin'" album is a stack of Brians with Carl and Al adding chorus lead vocals. I'm pretty sure only Brian, Carl, and Al are on that one.


If there are any other BB's on CGWM, I sure don't hear them.
So "You never give me a chance" is Al as well?
58  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Mike's 2 new tracks on PBS Stuff on: November 05, 2016, 12:43:47 PM
Aren't Mike and Bruce using the original Sloop intro when playing the song live? As a sample on Tim's keyboard? If so, it's not a long stretch to think that they used that for the rerecording, is it?
59  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: \ on: August 05, 2016, 12:30:43 AM
is there anywhere online we can hear or find the isolated vocals?  lots of different thoughts on
those background lead vocals.  Interesting still, we have heard lots of the Capitol material
dissected and available in various forms now, but hardly anything of the great early 70's albums.
Yes, isolated vocals would be great to hear!
60  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Where did that website with Beach Boys vocal charts go? on: May 18, 2016, 10:00:17 AM
Would it be legal to gather everyone's saved files and upload them somewhere else? This was done with Francis Greene's chord charts on surfermoon.com, but maybe it's a different matter with sheet music?
61  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Love Surrounds Me on: April 01, 2016, 12:04:43 PM
Wait-- I thought the highest voice was Christine McVie?

...or Marissa Conover, per Alan Boyd.  No one seems to really know for sure.  (Ed, you were there....)

I'm guessing he's talking about the high note at 1:44, which is pretty fricking high (I can't hit it, that's for sure).  Higher than the female part at the end.

This is SUCH a great recording, one of my absolute favorite Beach Boys tracks.  It's apparently mostly Cushing-Murray's work.  This track is SO good.  The only reason we didn't do it on LONG PROMISED ROAD is I couldn't fathom any arrangement we could conceivably pull off live.
How much would you say Dennis wrote?

I'm actually rereading Craig Slowinski's essay about the recording which was my source for saying that.  The link is above, but it sounds like it's about 60-40 Murray to Dennis.  It appears that Dennis came up with the track and the chord progressions, Murray did the lyrics and the melody.
Ah thanks. I have, of course, read c-man's essay, but it's been awhile. I'll go read it again. Always loved Dennis' voice on this one. Fits the mood perfectly.

Al's story about recording Come Go With Me with Brian coming down in his robe, does that add up chronologically? Was the home studio still around for when CGWM was first recorded?

In a much earlier interview, late 70s I think, Alan stated that they rented a mobile unit at Brian's house, but only he showed up to use it, so he pleased himself. No mention of Brian  showing up.
Ah, thanks! I have a vague memory of having read that before now that you mention it.

Cool! When was the last time the Beach Boys played Caroline No?
66  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rock n Roll to the Rescue Producer credits on: March 15, 2016, 11:48:38 AM
Wasn't that because the third verse on the studio version actually was the first verse flown in?
67  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: February 12, 2016, 11:19:14 AM
How come they recorded a demo version of In My Room (as heard on the '93 box set)?
68  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: List of Live rare cover recordings on: January 29, 2016, 07:59:38 AM
Brown Sugar? Cool! Would've kicked ass with Carl on lead, but since Mike sang Jumpin' Jack Flash he might have sung this too.

Could not figure out how to access Pre-sale codes either. A lot of the seats were locked out if you did not have code.

But I got two tickets for the Horseshoe show in July!

Can't wait, this will be our first BW concert!

Wow, a Pet Sounds performance will be your first BW show.  Awesome.  

Enjoy!!

Thanks! I wasn't aware of the tour until today, saw it on Bing and the tickets due to go on sale at 10:00am.
Really floored that she said don't worry about the price get the best seats you can.

I don't think I have fully taken in the import of today's good fortune.

It will hit me when I see the cc statement, no doubt.  Wink

BTW there are 4 Horseshoe Casinos on the Tour and we will be at the Elizabeth, IN one.


My first BW show was also a PS one, back in January 2002. Still keep the t-shirt I bought in everyday rotation. :-) Great show, great memories.

Honest question: does cold help when treating someone who has possibly overdosed on heroin?
71  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson 2016 Tour Thread (Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary Tour) on: January 25, 2016, 10:52:35 AM
Okay, somebody will raise the question so it might as well be me. The last concert with Pet Sounds performed in its entirety by its main creator will be in Lake Tahoe ... so, will Mike be there?

So Al sang God Only Knows when Brian left the stage? Any recording of that?
