That's Live & Let Live, from That Lucky Old Sun. Do yourself a favour and pick it up, it's Brian's best solo album (of original, non Smile tracks, mind)

"Live Let Live". Coincidentally probably my favorite thing he's done in the last 20-30 years, and boy is there a lot of competition.

Edit: ARGH. You d00dz're fast!

As an aside, should I pick this DVD up?

Although just listening to Midnight's Another Day from the 'gig' on it, and you can hear Brian singing harmonies?! (Like, he's singing his lead and harmonies as well) Is the whole thing just miming along to the record?

I have reason to believe it is a real live gig- I think they just used the album audio for the trailer because the sound was purer. The only thing that is done in playback as far as I know are the spoken interludes, but that was the case even on the tour because they had synced them up to the videos they showed at the concerts.

Of course the more obvious giveaway that he's not lip syncing is the fact that this show was clearly recorded before the album was finished because of certain things that are missing:

The "Driving through the maze of the Hollywood Hills" verse isn't in "Morning Beat" yet and the "In the flow of the Ocean" verse isn't in "Southern California." They are still in the rough-cut form we hear on the infamous leaked demos, but I've listened to those demos enough to know that the vocals on the DVD gig aren't the same so they didn't just lip-sync the demos. For instance, the demos of the title track don't have the "Show me that river" verse on the title track but the performance here does. Similarly, the demo versions of "Forever My Surfer Girl" don't have the "So long, so long ago" verse like the performance on the DVD does.

That's not to say that there aren't more demos out there that I haven't heard where the aforementioned augmentations aren't there, but from all the source material I have nothing matches up to the DVD performance, and the vocals sound pretty live to my ears.

Hope this (over)abundance of info is helpful! I think you'd be doing yourself a tremendous dis-service to not get it- plus the doc. on the DVD is one of my favorites with some of Brian's most fluent interviews.

Be sure to check out Brian's other version of "Live let live". Released on the Arctic Tale (?) soundtrack

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

The documentary on the DVD is pretty good IMO, primarily for all the great studio footage you get to see (whether it is staged or not).

I personally have my doubts about how 'live' the included performance of the album is...although I haven't watched it in a while, there are one or two questionable spots of lip-syncing, particularly in FSBMSG.  It is a bit of a shame because the Smile DVD showed that heavy editing can be done in a less obvious well so as to retain a plausible looking performance.  Sonically, I prefer the NPR stream of a live TLOS (may less manipulated) and I wished they had taken this kind of route for the DVD performance.

I know it is standard procedure to touch up these kind of performances in post production for releases such as this, but I wasn't so convinced about the execution here.

Re the DVD: oh good. I haven't watched mine yet. They had 'em at Amoeba for about $3 apiece, so I grabbed one, but haven't put it in yet.

FOR REAL.

That whole album is a masterpiece. And yes, the DVD is pretty awesome...though I bought it for the documentary, I haven't watched the concert yet.

The audio on the dvd sounds like it's the studio version dubbed over a live performance,so the actual event may have been live but the actual dvd uses the studio recording,for one thing Brian sings background on some of the songs on the studio version on those songs the background singers have HIS voice coming out of their mouths on the dvd...I laughed when I first noticed it..especially Brians voice coming out of Taylor Mills mouth..lol..
