[AMP: One last Beach Boys question…why did you leave in 1990?FOSKETT: I was asked to leave by Michael and Carl. I know that during the past several months there has been some discussion over the internet on my departure, and I will set the record straight now. I was having an affair outside my marriage that was causing a great deal of turmoil in the closely-knit BB organization. All the wives traveled on the road at one time or another, and seeing me with someone other than my wife made them suspicious of their husbands. Not a good scene. My ego was way out of control. I think Michael thought that I was holding back money from the side gigs that he and I did with the Endless Summer Beach Band, and so he was unhappy about that, and Carl was unhappy with my ego and my affair. They did the right thing by letting me go; right for them and definitely right for me. I needed to straighten up and get back into "the real world." I did, and my wife and I will soon be celebrating our 11th anniversary.AMP: Jeff, I appreciate your honesty…FOSKETT: John, there have been so many contrived stories regarding me using Platinum American Express cards and other false statements that I am happy to tell the truth. There are so many "authorities" on the internet that really know absolutely nothing!]

Personally, the thought has never occurred to me. Al was going to stick with Brian. Bringing Blondie in was a cool move, especially when it makes sense to divvy up the vocals in that band. Dave seems to move around pretty freely.

You really saw nothing political about Brian, who pre-C50 had been touring *on his own*, had only done about a dozen dates in 2006/07 with Al that, supposedly, didn't end too well, and had never toured with Dave or Blondie, all of a sudden in 2013 taking *three to four* Beach Boys out on tour?

If some fans want to keep the blinders on about any of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, that's totally one's prerogative. But then you're probably going to meet a lot of confusion and corrections from other fans/experts if you remain incredulous but insist on actually delving into the topic of political maneuvering and band names and band lineups and all of that.

Do you also think there was nothing political about Dennis's 1977 "Pacific Ocean Blue" tour being kiboshed?

Do you think there was nothing political about a big hunk of the touring band being let go in 1977/78?

Do you think there was nothing political about BRI supposedly sending people to Al's gigs in 1999 "searching" for fans who were "confused"?

Do you think it's a total coincidence during the band's 1980 Good Morning America interview that some of the other members look like they want to either strangle Dennis or run away as far as possible?

Do you think there was anything political about Jeff Foskett leaving the touring band in 1990, or do you just think it was a normal case of moving on to something else? Oh yeah, that's right, Foskett himself in the mid-90s gave an interview explaining in stunning detail why he was let go from the band.

I'm all for taking a step back and not immediately thinking the worst of these guys or jumping to elaborate theories. But it's also silly to assume there's no context to anything to do with this band's history outside of what they choose to say or not say publically.

Honestly, no. Maybe I think more of Brian and Al then you do, but I think the real motivation was that they were stoked about C50 and wanted to keep going, so they primarily were motivated by wanting to play together. I don't think the deciding factor was, let's stick it to Mike. "I'd rather be at the Deli, AL, but I'll suck it up and do 80 shows, just to piss Mike off"

No blinders here, I love a salacious gossipy tale of backstabbing and revenge. And several of the events you go on to itemize surely had those qualities.

What I wanted to know was what proof you had to say Absolutely, that Jeff going over to Mike's band was a FU to Brian. Ya didn't have any. That's ok. I was just curious to hear it if it existed.

BTW it's been a while since I read the interview about Jeff leaving back in the day..but I seem to remember it was brutally honest and not real sugar coated, which might leave me to believe him when he discussed his departure from Brian's group.

Can someone provide a link to Jeff’s interview?

It's the second return when you Google search "Jeffrey Foskett":

https://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/music/2014/09/22/beach-boys-brian-wilson-jeffrey-foskett/16070181/

Not sure, but I think the previous poster may have been looking for a link to the 90s Foskett interview, which requires more digging but can be found here:

http://web.archive.org/web/19990221115314/http://www.new-surf.com/interv.html

The interview seems to have been done around 1998 after "Imagination" was released, but before Foskett rejoined Brian. This would have been when Foskett was still full-time with Papa Doo Run Run (my recollection is that he stayed part time with them for a little while after beginning working with Brian in 1999, but I'm not sure when or if he fully left Papa Doo Run Run). And as I mentioned previously, I appreciate Foskett's honesty in this circa 1998 interview. Some pertinent parts concerning his 1990 departure:

For those in the NY/NJ area Al's City Winery show on April 1 just went up on their site, limited ticket sales now, full open sales shortly. Would have loved to have gone, but Sunday night at 8:00 is really tough, considering travel distance for me, not to mention it's Easter Sunday and would mess a little with travel pans. Was really hoping he has picked the open Saturday in March, but oh well, I think this will  be a great show. Enjoy whoever goes!

With on this. The selected date was a huge disappointment. I was also hoping for that open Saturday date.

Yeah but Easter Sunday unfortunately! Going to have to do some fancy talking to talk my way out of Easter dinner with my wife and family

Yep. Who cares about boring dinner with fam when Al Jardine stops by? It can wait but this may be exclusive Al tour, just this year. Then you must go!

Am in the same boat. This is a no go for me. Was really hoping for the weekend before.

I think this board is much poorer for his absence.  I hope he comes back very soon.

Its been said before and makes sense to me- Holland really was the last real Beach Boys album, and this is why- Holland had equal contributions from every member- Brian with Sail on Sailor and Funky Pretty, Mike and Al with CA Saga, Dennis with Steamboat and Only with You, Carl with Trader and Chaplin/Fataar with Leaving this Town.

 

I'm anticipating reaction here///

My reaction: If having "equal contributions from every member" is the test of a "real Beach Boys album", that wipes out everything before at least "Friends" or "20/20". pity, I was quite partial to some of that stuff.

In reading the OP, this is what struck me.  "Equal contributions" is not what defines a Beach Boys album.  Their best albums are when there is not "equal contributions".

Was Brian on this song or not? Did they add his voice later? Did he write that song for his solo album or The Beach Boys? Did they re-record the song to include Brian? Is Brian the only Beach Boy on the track? Is Brian a Beach Boy or not?

That's what it became. They still wanted him. Did he want them? It must've driven the guys nuts. It sold a lot. Mike never forgot that.

1. Somewhere Near Japan



2. Kokomo


3. Make It Big



The rest somewhere below....

Exactly my top 3 in that order.

The rest just kind of melds together in a pile of slop.

Thanks!

Would anyone be able to tell me the name of the designer whose shirts the BB wore on stage during the anniversary tour?

Thanks!

Why I mentioned all this? Because the song that can be given such nomination as "underrated" is Add Some Music. I see why many of you don't like the lyrics saying they're corny, clumsy and other related words. As for me they're filled with innocence & positivity, give happy mood and imo they're not so simple as they seem.        

I have always thought the lyrics had more depth to them than they might initially seem.  Sitting at the Jones Beach concert this summer with my eyes closed allowing myself to be immersed in the harmonies, lyrics, soul of the song was a tremendous experience personally.

[p]

The only thing worse than pissing you off is pissing me off! 

 

Where can I find a listing or summary of the various mixes used on BB albums?  I am particularly interested in albums/compilations where there is a unique mix.

Thanks.

and the setlist from Paramount Theater which has been floating around the collectors circle for some time... ask around 



OK I am asking ..... can anybody help me with this?  Thanks.
