Back Home (1970)

[Pet Sounder]

I know Al sang lead on this but who all is singing during the tag?

[Ram4]

Sounds like most of them on the tag at the end, but I am not sure what you mean.

In a Back Home related post - I watched the SNL episode from 1976 when Brian was on the show doing Back Home and Love Is A Woman (plus his little bit as the airport cop in the metal detector skit).  I don't recall seeing these before.  He seemed to be in good spirits, was shaking physically a bit, and his voice was not too bad.  I still can't believe he was able to do the show back then.  I would have thought NBC would have considered him too unpredictable to perform, let alone show up.  Anyway, it was nice to see.

Nice to see him slow-dancing with Gilda Radner at the end, too...and when he hit the high note on "Good Vibrations" (second verse, "Close my eye", holding "eye" for a split-second).

This version of Back Home is by far the best. Easily outclasses the 1976 version (although I do like that version, vocals are terrible).

If a 1975 album was to be released, this would certainly fit on the same album as Barnyard Blues and Out In The Country.

It doesn't really fit on Sunflower imo. Dunno why.

He looked terrible on SNL, he sounded alright but he looked so tired and uncomfortable and I find it strange that Lorne couldn't get the rest of the Beach Boys to be there as well, their backing vocals were sorely missed during the first two numbers.  However, I do love the solo piano version of "Good Vibrations" in the sandbox and his dancing with Gilda Radner is a really sweet moment as well.

I wish they hadn't shortened the fade so much on MIC. On 'Get The Boot' the fade goes on a lot longer, and rightly so: it's what the entire song builds towards.

[Smilin Ed H]

I prefer the earlier version.

1976 version blows the others away to my ears. That version has balls and is a blast!

Yuss. I like the other versions, but this 15 Big Jobs version is untoppable. UNTOPPABLE (UNABLE TO BE TOPPED).

featuring a man who cannot sing if his life depended on it. The arrangement is class though.

In this instance I think his voice is damn-perfect; love it.

Yes. There is no Love You-esque vocal on Love You that is more more Love You-esque than "Back Home" (from 15 Big Ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I feel like people dismiss it immediately due to the very deliberate voice crack on "Ohio" (which I happen to love), but it has a ton of energy and is as on key as it needs to be. Poyfect, to me.

i noticled him dancing and the white suit!
I also noticed how at the end credits he kinda stood there awkwardly like :"Well, nobodys gonna hug me or talk to me so I better get out of here," then Landy prolly shooed him back up there.

This was a really fun song to hear in concert in the late 70s, which can't be said for many of Brian's performances. I can still hear Brian singing "I'm gonna spend this summer... baaaaack home!".

Here's a thread I started on the '63 version in case somebody missed it.  Love all three versions.
