[and also played in Ritchie Valens' touring band with Bruce Johnston, Larry Knechtel, Sandy Nelson, and Jim Horn.]

On Mike Deasy's wiki page it states that "While still at high school, he played in bands backing visiting musicians such as Ricky Nelson and The Everly Brothers, and also played in Ritchie Valens' touring band with Bruce Johnston, Larry Knechtel, Sandy Nelson, and Jim Horn.

If this info is reliabie, i can only assume that Larry K was their bassist, as Bruce only mentions being the pianist in interviews...

My link doesn't seem to work. Can someone please retrieve it, please (google palindromericks)...

RS, if I Google palindromericks I get 2 hits, one to this thread and the other to here:

And let's not forget it's actually Blondie he sings with.

What a gorgeous song!

I don't recall if this ever played in an English format back in 09. This has just reappeared and most interviews are now in English.

As a resident of the Netherlands, I'm sure there wasn't ever an English overdubbed version. If I remember correctly, the earlier version on YouTube or whatever replaced the dialogue with BB songs! The version here is what we all saw on TV in 2009. Thanks a lot for linking it!

[White Album]

Let's take another approach, one that should have Macca fans howling for my blood: This is the single-LP tribute version, dedicated to the two Beatles sadly no longer with us, all brought to a stomping conclusion by that most underrated of White Album tracks.

Side One:
1. Revolution 1
2. Dear Prudence
3. Glass Onion
4. The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill
5. I'm So Tired
6. Yer Blues
7. Julia
8. Happiness Is A Warm Gun


Side Two:
1. Sexy Sadie
2. Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey
3. Long Long Long
4. Revolution 9
5. Savoy Truffle

As I have been a member here for less than a year...THIS is brand spankin' NEW to me. 

Exactly----a prime example of why it can pay to dig up old threads. Long live the old threads! 

I know----this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days, haha.

I just heard this on YouTube. I'm not a member so I shall thank Zach and company here instead. And I've linked it at "my" board. This has to be one of the best BB covers ever.

I don't hate Mike Love. He never did anything to me, personally.

What he said.

I dislike Carl's overdubs in the 1971 version. Particularly the organ.

Of the officially released versions, Surf's Up from TSS is my favorite.

However my all time favorite version is the bruiteaur mix of the 1966 recording with the 2004 BWPS version.

That's amazing!  Thank you for sharing that.  Pay attention at 1:31 as the young Brian is actually harmonizing with himself nearly 40 years later.

That is sensational. That said,  I remain a sucker for the 1971 version...

How many Lei'd In Hawaii Wally Heider session recordings do we have in full? Wikipedia lists "Sloop John B" and "Good Vibrations,"  but I'm unable to find anything about those recordings elsewhere.

Still waiting for an answer...

You can try Andrew's site for starters:

Anyone know where this clip of Brian and Carol Kaye playing "Good Vibrations" comes from?  Brian sounds great here.

What does everyone feel is their favorite studio version of Surf's Up?  There have been many released...

I'd have to pick the un-f*cked-with (or so I think?) 1966 piano demo version from the 1993 Box Set. It just feels the most pure and proper version to me. 

Were any recorded portion(s) of the the Leonard Bernstein TV version ever grafted onto one of the future Frankensteined-versions of the song? And how was the Leonard Bernstein TV version recorded? One overhead boom mic for vocals and another mic for the piano?

I'm sure this has been done before, but it's the f*cked-with 1971 album version for me----hands down.

[Tommy]

This reminds me of what I did with Tommy:

Side One:
1. Overture
2. Amazing Journey
3. Sparks
4. The Hawker
5. Cousin Kevin
6. The Acid Queen

Side Two:
1. Pinball Wizard
2. Go To The Mirror
3. Tommy Can You Hear Me
4. Smash The Mirror
5. Sensation
6. I'm Free
7. We're Not Gonna Take It

Of course, the CD rerelease has room for a bonus track, the awesome "Underture". :=)

I think we tend to place too much weight on what The Beatles did. The Beatles threw in the towel in '69. No stamina.

I beg to differ but The Beatles did not break up because they had "no stamina." Would you level the same charge at Brian for quitting the road in the mid-60s?

Sorry, CSM, I was just being facetious.

Can't keep it to 12 tracks. The Beatles were releasing 13-14 songs on their albums.

I think we tend to place too much weight on what The Beatles did. The Beatles threw in the towel in '69. No stamina. What worries me a lot more is that "I'm So Young" has dropped out of the track listing. Why all the hate for this wonderful song?   

Thanks, john. Nice to see you're checking bandcamps. Is (t)he(m) on the board or you just found on the Inet?

Not quite sure I understand you, but I'd heard a track by the band Goat (on TV) at Glastonbury this year and decided to investigate further. What i discovered was so compelling that I immediately bought their first album, with the Glastonbury track on it...

[Rave]

Could it be that Bruce has a suggestion of chin shrubbery in this picture?



It's from the November '68 edition of Rave magazine, I'm told...

Here's my quickly assembled version, for what it's worth (like you, I'm not entirely sure of the order of tracks). I've always thought highly of "GTMB" and "DHMLS"----and "ISY" is one of my all-time favourite BB tracks:

Side A:
Dance, Dance, Dance               
Please Let Me Wonder            
You're So Good To Me            
Kiss Me, Baby                  
Salt Lake City                  
She Knows Me Too Well            

Side B:
Good To My Baby
Girl Don't Tell Me               
Let Him Run Wild
I'm So Young                  
Don't Hut My Little Sister
And Your Dream Comes True

I shoud add that all four "deleted" tracks would still be around as great singles!!

[World Music]

It's cover by who? Don't mean photographer - the artist. Reminds of good ole cat pics by Louis Wain. The crazy era of his works.

GOAT

World Music is a stupendous album...

[Sunflower]

Sunflower----All I Wanna Do (my favourite BB song too----and Damascene moment)
Surf's Up----Feel Flows
C&TP----Marcella
Holland----Leaving This Town

After that, things get a little muzzy...

I remember watching her weekly TV show in the '60s. A talented lady, gone too soon. R.I.P.

Kim co-wrote this with Bruce:

These are said to be the same Pharaohs (without a second "h" in those days) as the group Richard Berry fronted in the mid '50s (this is from 1960), which is where the "Louie Louie" saga begins...

I usually skip posts of more than three or four lines ("Got a short little span of attention") but yours are required reading, Hank. Thank you. :=)

Does making “egg-in-the-hole” fall under competitive sports?

Brian in '65: "It’s about the only thing I can cook, but it is great. You pinch out the center of a piece of bread, butter it, place it in a frying pan and put a raw egg in the hole. The entire thing cooks together and is very, very tasty."
