PS I presume both links refer to the same video? I couldn't get the second one, but at any rate... there can't be a version that touches this one (except some comedy one by members of the Muppets, or something...)

No, they are different videos. The second one features Brian's friends and collaborators.

A few familiar faces wishing Happy Birthday to Brian:

I'm more impressed by the fact that they didn't play Barbara Ann! How often does that happen??
And California Girls is towards the end of the show.

"Group buy" proposal: we hire Mike to sing the "grand coolie" section of Cabin Essence.
Who's in???

Make it "Hey, Little Tomboy" and I'm in!

Definitely strange about the 1969 ep being removed.

We could probably assume that those tracks will be included in the upcoming (?) 2020 digital release.

Anyone in Japan, Australia or NZ have any news to share with us?



BTW, the 1969 copyright release seems to be gone from Spotify. Does anyone still see it?

BTW, the "Surf's Up pt.1" track is claimed as "(1971 Remake Track With Brian Wilson vocals)"

There is no way that is not connected to the official release.
And I think you are right regarding track 53, Matt.

Elton John tells stories about Brian Wilson on the Howard Stern show, November 18th 2020:

Would you buy Brian's sandbox piano?

That explains it, thanks!
I was hoping it could somehow be a track from the boxset.

Hey guys, what show / year do you think this is from?

https://youtu.be/rimKDkeAeT4


Do you think it sounds 1970-1971ish?

What if the boxset is delayed because they were planning to announce it together with the announcement of a world tour of the reunited Beach Boys but now the tour is on-hold due to COVID-19?
Am I being too hopeful?  

Maybe he was referring to Brian’s back issues

Yeah, that song is awful

Quite well done, I have to say:  https://youtu.be/NAzZbsaiDMQ

Ah, maybe!

The official Brian Wilson YouTube channel has posted sound bites of Brian talking about some Beach Boys songs.
It sounds like these are from an old interview, but it seems to me that most are previously unpublished.

Can anybody date the interview? Maybe around the Endless Harmony documentary?

At this point, which tracks recorded in 1969 have not been officially released yet?

I can think of "What Can The Matter Be ?", but is there anything else?
Could it be that, simply, there were not expiring tracks in need to be released this year?

The "Feel Flow" set and "On Tour: 1969" are now on Spotify...




it's what I would say if they were on Spotify. 

The real new info comes from Bruce, the rest is (likely correct) speculation

Is today the day?

Why would it be?

Historical data:

Last year's 1968 releases were announced and dropped on December 7th/8th.

"Sunshine Tomorrow 2" and the live '67 digital releases hit on December 8th, 2017.

The '66 live stuff - December 9, 2016.

Is today the day?

Jeffrey Foskett Shares 'Voices,' Possibly His Last Album As a Singer

TL;DR: The longtime Beach Boys and Brian Wilson collaborator was diagnosed with Anaplastic thyroid cancer during early 2018. Surgeries and treatments have robbed him of one of his vocal cords and, essentially, the versatile voice with the soaring upper register that helped add authenticity to any harmonic situation he encountered.

Ah, beautiful! You can always count on Al Jardine
