Dreaming of Love You Live

Btw, I know that someone suggested to Melinda that Wild Honey should be done as an album and she reacted rather strongly, probably because Mike wrote it with Brian.

If that's the case the reason why some people question her judgement is obvious. Wild Honey was a great album and honestly it seems like a relatively good period for Brian. [/quote]
Correction, made a big error here. I misquoted the story, I can't find the old thread with the info (or remember if it was here or Shut Down) but to the best of my memory the response was "Brian's people" not "Melinda" did not like the idea. Did not mean to misrepresent her.

Remember my face-plant into the asphalt at the Sun Theater parking lot in front of all the Wilsons? Good times.

Man, you HAVE to tell us about that!    

Jon started this, so I'll leave it for him to tell!  I'm going to give a link to his site, as I'm sure there is a picture there of John Stamos with Jon & I from that same nite.
Well, the photo is there, alright, however I see Jon had teased about telling this story there, too:  " A day or two later we ran into the show's producer John Stamos at a Brian Wilson concert in Orange County. (I should mention that the story of THIS concert, and the weekend surrounding it, is one worth telling too, maybe another time) Stamos thanked us for giving Nick some pointers on portraying Dennis."  Jon?

Truthfully, i think Jeff thinks of me as a Beach Boys fan, and I think he thinks of himself as a Beach Boys fan. That's why we relate to each other. We don't have much in common otherwise, he's conservative, i'm liberal, he's sober, i like to party....

You know, I've actually been trying, the last couple of times I've posted, to add my two cents of support to Jeff.  Now I think it's been pretty well stated by everyone else, however, I think Jon really nailed something here.  I mean face it, if we weren't all fans first, would we be hanging around boards like this, discussing all of this minutia, pretty much on a daily basis?  I know I wouldn't, if not for possessing a fans love of the music first and foremost.

You know,  you have actually hit the nail on the head, Ed.  As I think pretty much ALL of the Brian Wilson Band are "fans" first...and as such, we should just rejoice in being so, no-one should "have goes" at one another and just enjoy what we all have.  Oh and to even things up, I think the Touring Beach Boys band members are also fans, too ;-)

Celebrate!

Hey its already been done - Just ask AGD !!!!!
A bunch of Musicians (and Members of Beach Boys Britain) did two shows with the whole album live , and in the correct order (at a couple of BBB Fan Conventions).........Including Moog and Farty Synths (and AGD doing a guest lead vocal :-) )
There are some rather good results to these shows , just might have to dig them out sometime

Sorry, Rob D - just seen this!  Yes, indeed...and a fine time was had by both band and audience!  There is both photographic and audio/visual "evidence" and you are one fine drummer, Sir!  Likewise, all the guys (and gals, she says modestly...) had a blast those 2 days. Happy times and happy memories, especially of Sean Macreavy ("Carl"), you ("Dennis"), AGD (fab BW impersonations), Paul Baker and Jimmy Hughes (aka Mr Farty Synth himself!). Thanks for the memory...and who knows, maybe one day we'll "Do It Again"! Oh no - sorry - wrong album ;-)

Back to doing Love You live: I would love it and want it to be the same arrangements. I really like the synth arrangements, and it would be a nice change of pace from what he has been doing. The same with Wild Honey.

Thanks for clearing that up. My sentiment is aimed then to whoever did block the potential for some very good music.
