Who was singing "I Saw Her Standing There?"

Think it's Randell Kirsch.

"Al Jardine is really only about this tall. Kicked him out of the band because most people in the audience couldn't even see him."

Mike eliminates the band and almost all lighting in order to cut down on touring costs.

And the back cover can be Mike, Bruce, and Stamos stuck in Kokomo looking over at the others wishing they could have joined them.

Is this the original mix of Lady? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2pPpeXt4Xs

So what did Al say about Mike?
133  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Getcha Back - Live Version with Mike on lead on: June 05, 2014, 03:59:56 PM
ouch......

I don't know, I think Mike sounds alright but what kills that version to me is Randell Kirsch. He gets far too much love on this board...
Randell was new in the band at the point(2004), he sounded way better the two times I saw it with Christian on lead. But he sounds pretty bad here.
134  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Recent Pro-shot Mike & Bruce(and Foskett) videos on: June 03, 2014, 02:07:45 PM
Does anyone know if Randell has any leads anymore? It would be a shame to not use him for any leads at all. To my ears, Randell's lead on Good Vibrations was much better than Christian's lead.

 I saw the first show with Jeff replacing Christian on May 32, 2014.  The only lead Randell had was "Then I kissed Her".  Jeff also took the lead on "Darlin".  I'm not sure if this was a mistake or not.  They started the song and nobody took the lead.  Jeff picked it up after a few seconds and finished the song.  Several of the guys were laughing.  I'm not quite sure what happened.  Either Jeff of John missed their spot at the begining of the song.  But, Jeff actually sounded good on "Darlin".

I hope that Cowsill got it back, he sounds absolutely phenomenal on that song.

Here's pro-shot California Girls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J9LlYODUm0

How did you snag these videos? IS there a DVD?
I'm not the one posting them, I think whoever was in charge of video for this event is.

Thought these were too nice to just put in the Jeff replaces Christian Love thread, some pro-shot footage from the recent Abbey Road On The River.

Here's "Don't Worry Baby": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Z1naIH7S4&feature=youtu.be

And here's "Pisces Brothers" with a little interview clip at the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0aN1-bxCow

The band sounds good!

I know it's probably my ears playing tricks on me but the versions of Fun Fun Fun and The Warmth of the Sun on MIC sound different. Those aren't remixes, are they?

They are.

Re this:

Great mix, free of board echo. Mike's backing vocals are nice and prominent in the mix.

The Beach Boys, in their usual non-C50 state, are a cooler, leaner, more straight-tone blend. On In My Room, Mike and Jeff really blended well (sep. In My Room), and anchor the harmonies. Now that Jeff's voice is all over TWGMTR and everything in the C50 tour, his voice adds authenticity and familiarity to the MB band. This is the best I've heard the MB band's vocal blend sound. Never thought I'd say that, but they sound fantastic.

Brian's band has a generally warmer vocal blend, and Brian blends much better with them than he did 10-15 years ago, because of how his voice recovery really took off after 2004. Foskett never really fit the blend at any point, valuable as he's been in many ways. Matt Jardine in Foskett's place will be the icing on the cake.  

I really think this fixes the vocal shortcomings of both bands. And personally, I would now actively seek out tickets to MB, rather than being relatively ambivalent.

Interesting that Scott has the lead on "Sloop". Bruce did it when I saw them earlier this year. They must have shuffled the vocal blend for Jeff. Also they sang "break up" like the earlier versions of "Sloop" at one point.

Soul Searchin'

Three great tracks, only faults are Brian's vocal on YSAM isn't great and the drums on California' Dreamin.
143  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rolling Stone - Beach Boys Play Tour - Jeff replaces Christian Love on: May 26, 2014, 11:55:51 AM
Anyone have a set from one of the shows they've done with Jeff so far?

Here's the setlist from last night: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-beach-boys/2014/waterfront-park-louisville-ky-73c086ed.html

Note that it was a Beatles-themed event, hence the 3 covers.
144  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rolling Stone - Beach Boys Play Tour - Jeff replaces Christian Love on: May 25, 2014, 09:41:29 PM
And here's a full "Kokomo": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWTIhG_E3-0

According to Twitter, they played "Dear Prudence" at Abbey Road on The River tonight. Cool stuff.

And here's a photo. Mike and Bruce have been brought closer together. http://instagram.com/p/ocbsnbDVt8/

Little video clips: http://instagram.com/p/ocSFP3qtKw/

Also apparently Stamos was in the house.

Sounds like Jeff got the falsettos.

Looks like a "bargain bin" issue, here's the Discogs page: http://www.discogs.com/Beach-Boys-Pet-Sounds/release/2339451

Jeff is about as close as they come to being an official Beach Boy without being one. I will miss Christian Love though, who had a great tone to his voice and always seemed humble on stage. I hope that Al and Dave do a fair amount of show with M&B&J in the future, preferably somewhere close by. I think Jeff being in the touring band makes that a greater possibility of happening more frequently.

Sad. I really expected any "turncoat" cracks to be on the Bloo.

Here's a question. We know the who, and the when. The bigger query is, the why ?


How else to put it

At a time where there is obvious friction between brian and mike, Brian's best friend decides to join mike.

Until we hear some confirmation that brian was ok with this I see it as a stab in the back

Check Ray Lawlor's post in the Jones Beach thread, Brian seemed cool with it as of a few hours ago.
