I'm also starting to wonder if there could be another major box set for the 60th anniversary.
1980/83= The Capitol Years 6 LPs / 4 CDs (20th anniversary) 1993 = Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys (30th anniversary) Nothing in particular around the 40th anniversary, then 2011 = Smile Sessions + 2013 = Made In California (50th anniversary) 2020 = Feel Flows
Is there potential for another "career spanning" box set sometime between 2021-2023?
Yep - the much needed live retrospective. Good call. I remember dreaming that they would do this for their 33 1/3 rd anniversary, with 33 1/3rd tracks, - for some reason I felt the Oxnard remote recording of Mr Moto was a good fit for the 1/3rd!! Seriously though, this would be so good. The live tracks coming out during this copyright extension era have been an absolute revelation. Only wishing the recording of Rock and Roll Woman was released (proper release, not the version from Amercan Band video).

Paula Abdul was of course dating John Stamos around that time. She also appears, dancing with Stamos, in the Beach Boys' Crocodile Rock clip.
She definitely sang on the re-recorded Sweet Insanity track Spirit of Rock n Roll - the version with Bob Dylan vocals.
Fascinating. I had no idea that Paula Abdul had any connection to John Stamos or to this band. Pretty shocking that Brian squandered two cameos of that magnitude on a song version that never even came out, Bob Dylan and Paula Abdul who was nearly the equivalent of getting Madonna on a song at that point I would tend to think. I feel like those must be two of the biggest vocal cameos that have ever appeared on any song or solo project by this band, other than perhaps Paul McCartney and Elton John, who had their BW songs released. Well, fingers crossed for an official Copyright Extension release in 2041! Just discovered a better quality upload of the Crocodile Rock video too - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QE8u7qCWohM

This is so great. He's singing well and on pitch again... wonder what has been the issue with recent shows? I'm wondering if it has something to do with his hearing.
Anybody notice that the piano is a little out of tune? He needs go full out Chickering on that thing.
Reminds me of the detuned piano he used on Smiley Smile and in that 67 era - I don't really know what I'm talking about here, so maybe someone who knows more can explain what was done to that piano back then. ?

There definitely seems to be a Spring version
“Honeycomb” – A cover of the old Jimmy Rodger's song was cut in October '74 with Marilyn on vocals. It features Roy Wood of ELO and Wizzard on the backing track. (Wood also played on the Beach Boys' “It's OK” from the same session.) The former Mrs. Wilson retains the masters to the Spring album, as well as a number of other Brian Wilson tapes from the period.

So did Mike for "Made in California" I believe ("Going to the beach"). But I agree with you guys.
They (Al?) updated Loop De Loop for Endless Harmony too as I recall. Yes, Al. Why did Mike have Scott Totten overdub “Goin’ to the Beach.” This may be a stupid comparison I could fix from carefully A/B’ing the two versions, but the solo is Scott Totten and not Carl, correct? (sadly) Yes - and I assume that's because there was no solo recorded for the track in '79/'80. Carl played both bass and rhythm guitar on the song, drummer Scott Mathews says he also played bass on it (there are actually no less than three bass tracks on the recording), and Al also laid down a rhythm guitar track. So, lots of guitars there! You may recall that something called Tongal had some kind of you record the guitar solo competition, which allowed people to download a flac file of the Goin' To The Beach track sans modern overdubs. There was another unique track available from the Tongal site too, from memory. If I go looking thru my collection I might find them.

It's the Dennis stuff that interests me most, but having said that, there are so many gems that show up once you trawl the archives. Things we never knew even existed before (well maybe just me).
I'm thinking of Peaches right now as I type.
Was it widely known, for example that "New Song" evolved into "Transcendental Meditation" before the 1968 CE release? It certainly wasn't known when that first hit the internet in the 90s.
