Story goes the track was cut at Al's place in Big Sur, with Scott Matthews on drums, and then overdubs were added back in L.A. at Rumbo. Dennis showed up for the Rumbo session, and was persuaded to give it a go on the drums. He reportedly "made some noise" but was ultimately sent home for being "too Dennis".
Interesting stuff, never knew that!

5/5
This album is remarkable for its juxtaposition of playful Brian Wilson-penned tracks, sensitive Dennis Wilson compositions (his first on a Beach Boys album) & member to member collaborations. An album of pure bliss, the title track -"Friends" has a wonderful melody, with great simply (happy) lyrics. "Be Here in the Morning" is just fun to sing along to. "Busy Doin' Nothin'" gives actual directions to Brian's house, it has a wonderful melody & arrangement. "Little Bird" (one of favourite BB/Dennis tracks ever)is Dennis Wilson showing that the messed-up middle brother has a soul, his incredible talent and what a hooky' bass line! Mikes influence and going on's at the time, formed a great tune called "Transcendental Meditation", while a great edition to fit was "Diamond Head". A surfer's heaven to chill-out.

I've never heard that demo before with Brian at the piano, brilliant. I've always liked the song "Airplane", especially the album version with Mike's vocals starting lead as imo he sings it the best. Not only on the album version, but he sings as great at a variety of the gigs the Boys did in the late '70's on the LY tour.
