Seconding this request for someone who saved The Beach Boys stream to post. I was late to the party.

Apparently Ike sang all the falsetto parts a couple of days ago at the columbia, mo show. Jeff was there but not singing.

I personally would love to see a whole tour that is acoustic versions of BW/BB songs like he opened shows in mid 2000s. 

bringing this thread back to life in hopes someone would be willing to jump in and sing a Carl Wilson part for me on a BB cover project.  Thanks!

For a parody of a Beach Boys song.  Let me know if you are interested and if you have any links to covers of BB songs with you singing!  This is just for fun, but if you like making Beach Boys covers, this is a fun one...PM me for more info
Thanks!

Would love to see some youtube videos of these song!  Great work!

I have heard (or at least believe my ears) that I've heard Carl on the backing vocals for Honeybee.  FLAC file with very good headphones.  Otherwise, I can't.

Brian isn't live on GV either.  But this is great to see/hear!  Thank you for sharing.  I'm excited that there is a high quality picture/sound recording of this (relatively new) version of the BW band playing these classics!

The band should've at least looked up the proper chords (or asked Bruce?) before attempting this garbage. 

Who is covering on keys now? I heard Darian was not in Portland and his sub was a new person?

Great find!

I'd be interested.  I missed out on all the original e-collabs and just found this thread.

Really great stuff here, thank you!

Can anyone confirm if all or any of Brian's band are on a retainer?

No way the the whole band is on retainer.  They are contractors.  At one point JF was on retainer, but i believe he was the only one.

Pre-orders are up on Amazon.com for the various iterations of the release. June 10, 2016 is the expected release date.

Wouldn't it be nice if they released it on May 16, 2016?

50 years wasn't enough time to get this ready-- Capitol needed that extra month.

Perhaps the orchestra was live, but certainly the band was playing along to a prerecorded instrumental and singing along to prerecorded vocals.  The audience (in person and broadcast) heard only the prerecorded track.

Visual example of prerecorded instrumental (watch keyboard hands) : https://youtu.be/eF8JIoAp310?t=392
Visual example of prerecorded vocal (watch Jeff on the word "nice") : https://youtu.be/eF8JIoAp310?t=541

Also you can hear Cowsill in the mix but he has no mic.

Removing any further doubt, this medley on German TV earlier this year uses the exact same prerecorded tracks, though the medley itself is different: https://youtu.be/f2uckN9U6Vo?t=498

And if anyone saw the post this morning about the BBs live on Fox, the exact same prerecord from the German TV show was used for the Wouldn't it Be Nice/I Get Around medley: http://video.foxnews.com/v/4926123898001/after-the-show-show-the-beach-boys-perform-/?playlist_id=930909787001

I'm guessing this is a way to ensure that they get a decent mix instead of relying on in house sound people for whatever show they are on to do a good job. 

When the rehearsal audio is laid over to the performance audio, it is identical. Not close like you'd expect from professional, seasoned musicians who have played these songs thousands of times.  Identical.

If they had played to a click, or just prerecorded instruments with live vocals, there would be some noticeable differences, in the same way that there are noticeable differences in the double tracked lead vocals in many of our favorite Beach Boys tracks.  You can watch 10 different live versions of Jeff singing Good Vibrations over the last few years and pick out slight differences in phrasing and pitch if you are paying close enough attention.

As I said earlier in this post, I doubt it was the band's choice to mime it.  It isn't a big deal that it was prerecorded.  I just wish some of the vocal processing was more transparent.  But I thought that about the C50 live release as well.

Curious to hear if Bruce offers any context for the prerecord.  Good discussion on here.

Stephen: There are fan videos of the rehearsals held prior to the show on the National Mall, specifically check out Good Vibrations. If you try lining that rehearsal up with the official PBS video of the evening concert, the performances seem to match perfectly

Yep.  I'm sure playing back and mime-ing a precorded track was necessary or else the band would've chosen to do it live.  I saw them live last year and the new lineup is IMHO the best sounding live touring version of this band in the last 15 years.

Not to get too forensic-y, but I enjoy the details so here I go:

Scott has that unmistakable pitch corrected sound on his solo part before the rest of group comes in: https://youtu.be/eF8JIoAp310?t=269
Also, who is singing the Ba ba ba ba ba with Mike?  Clearly the louder voice on that part isn't Mike.  I don't actually hear Mike at all singing that part, but his lips are.  It sounds like Brian E, but Brian E is miming the higher falsetto part behind Mike.  And I hear Cowsill in the GV choruses but he has no mic at this show.

JF sounded great on Good Vibrations.  Just wish it was actually live.  Besides the obvious things mentioned above like the autotune and lack of guitar pedals (not to mention no vocal mic on Cowsill), this part made me laugh: https://youtu.be/eF8JIoAp310?t=389 

Ooops.

Upon further review, it seems that much if not all of this is prerecorded.  Bummer.  Mike is swimming in autotune.

You can watch the live stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTNNU7qzcWc

And reverse it to the Beach Boys set.  Jeff sounds great on GV lead.

I would likely pull at least a couple from the 1993 Paramount Theater show.

Who was singing the lead on 'Rhonda' in the Mike and Bruce show before? 

Phil Bardowell from 1998-2000, John Cowsill from 2000-2015.

Also, during the very short period of time in 1998 after Al was gone, but while Matt Jardine was still in the band, he (Matt) sang Rhonda.

Chris Farmer also sang Rhonda sometimes when he was with the band.  Or at least once that I saw live.

All of these posts NOT about Brian's current tour should be moved.  I clicked here to read about tour.

This is a great idea-- if a few of us saved a lot, we might be able to patchwork it back together.  I don't see any reason why we couldn't post it, but I'm not a lawyer.
