Actually George Harrison was trying to get the Beatles to move out to San Francisco. But after he went out there himself and saw that it was a looney bin he quickly changed his mind.

Its really easy to find quotes of John slagging off Mick Jagger or Bob Dylan or even Elvis... but I can't think of one quote where he slagged off the Beach Boys as a group or Brian as a person. I assume that extended to Dennis as well. I think John had a tremendous respect for them. (although correct me if I am wrong, but the line from Bungalo Bill about the "all American Bullet-headed saxon mother's son" was inspired by Mike Love. Who I guess took a break from peaceful meditation to go kill some animals somewhere in Rishikesh).

No, that was not Mike Love.

Who was he referencing?

Thanks Malc.  Wink

Maybe I am just dense but I can't seem to navigate that site worth a damn. Anyone wanna post a direct link to the photos for a blind man?  Razz

Sorry to see that you can't seem to navigate my site !
Basically, enter Part 2, or whichever era you want to read about by selecting the tab along the top of the front page menu, then enter that section by clicking on the word 'enter'  Roll Eyes ... and then choose which album you wish to read about by clicking on the relevant sleeve. In this instance select the 'In Concert' sleeve. To find the photos just scroll down the page to the 'flash' and click on that !
I realise there is a lot of clicking and navigating on the site but that's the fun, come back some other time and find something you hadn't seem before   Razz
Alternatively ... http://www.pipeline-operaglass.moonfruit.com/#/1973lashow/4532469771  Wink

Yes. The sessions are worth the price alone, but they packed the DVD with a lot of goodies. The performance (including the visuals from the show)/Going Home doc./Yahoo! Nissan performance/Brian & Deschannel interview from MySpace Artist on Artist/The commentary videos from Brian's website with Brian and Scott/photo gallery (although not as well put together as on the BWPS DVD). I might be forgetting something, but yes, I think it's worth it.  Smiley

Thats the word I have been waiting for. Thanks for the insight!

Cheers

That's funny Walls and Bridges is my favorite Lennon solo LP. Almost everything on Sometime In New York City reeks.

Ironically its my fave as well. But those two tracks just really grate on my nerves. They strike me as being very unLennon.
4583  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: 1971 version of Surf's Up on: February 04, 2009, 07:15:25 AM
Why would his voice be sped up on Caroline No? Its an aesthetic choice.

So is being put forth that Desper's notes list it as Brian? Thats the first I have heard that one. I always thought it was Al (but before that I thought it was Mike  Tongue).

Jeez, figures: Mull of Kintyre is one of my favorite McCartney ditties.

Me too.  Cry

In keeping with the Beatles....

John Lennon Bless You or Surprise Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox)

I have been listening to the Complete Recordings of Buddy Holly all day.
4586  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Smile Playing Order: a detail I don't hear discussed much (67' vinyl LP leng on: January 28, 2009, 11:49:18 AM
I don't buy into the belief that GV was a Pet Sounds track. The main motif from Song for Children (and its 67 counterpart... it escapes me what it was called) was a direct reference to Good Vibrations (the na-na-na-na-na na-na-na's at the end).
4587  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What is a \ on: January 26, 2009, 10:47:51 AM
I always took to mean a lesser form of a symphony. A pop song in movements with a typical sonata type format: ie Exposition, developement, and recapitulation... all of which are present in SMiLE. 

Basically a term to convey the ambitiousness of the project without any hint of pretension.  3D
4588  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Quick Question on: January 14, 2009, 10:10:28 PM
I think Spring is in there but Brian was hitting high notes in 75 (Help Me Rhonda) and 76 (In The Still Of The Night, You've Lost That Loving Feeling). He couldn't do it with purity and his voice sounded fundamentally different tonally, but he could get up there.

Not to mention "Sherri She Needs Me".  Near glass-shattering falsetto.


None of those examples resemble the timbre of the the voice in question though.
4589  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Quick Question on: January 14, 2009, 12:25:02 PM
Marilyn.

There is no way in hades Brian could have pulled that off in 76.

4591  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian's whereabouts during the 1973 In Concert show on: January 13, 2009, 08:54:01 PM
I would kill to hear "A Day In The Life of a Tree" live...especially in 1971 with Brian.  Come to think of it, I would love for Brian to play it live now (highly doubtful though).

It really would suit Brians voice now to hear him sing this wonderful piece. Frankly its in my top 10 favorites of Brian's whole career/
4592  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Unheard BB tracks that you most would like to hear on: January 13, 2009, 08:49:35 PM
Top of my list is California Feeling from 1974 and Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again.

Release those two officially and I will die a happy man.
4593  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: TLOS DVD Is Coming on: December 03, 2008, 09:53:55 AM
As long as it includes the visuals featured in the concert performances I will buy.

If you imagine Eddie Haskell saying it to beaver it is quite funny. 3D

I had no idea he even had cancer. I am quite shocked. Sad news. Embarrassed

That is interesting.  3D
4597  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Southern California - who wrote it? on: September 09, 2008, 03:38:58 PM
So basically Scott did the same thing -musically wise- to Southern California that Darian did to Do You Have Any Regrets?

4598  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Be My Baby on: September 03, 2008, 03:31:00 PM
I love Be My Baby too but I have to say I enjoy listening to the version of a drunk John Lennon belting it out during the Rock N Roll sessions a bit more than the original Ronettes version.
4599  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Reaction to the loss of Brians voice on: September 02, 2008, 03:46:52 PM
Anyone who has seen any TV appearance from around 15 Big Ones and Love You can attest that he was definitely a sloppy performer and I don't believe it was "intentional" at all.  LOL

I thought it was "We'll never say goodbye where the horizon lies" or some such.
