I think T-Bone Burnett would (co) Produce something BB worthy.

Personally, I just can't imagine them working together as a creative unit. A new BB album would mean every single "group member" works on his own stuff with just alibi vocal tracks from the other Beach Boys. That would be a waste of time.

But they couldn't go back to the days when everybody just did what Brian told them to, the other guys have evolved too far. I'd really like the Paley sessions stuff finished with Mike/Al/Bruce vocals, but I don't believe the guys would want THAT.

Are you serious? They have not worked together for 15 years. I think Brian has proved to everyone that he is capable of producing a good album again. That wasn't the case back in the mid-90's. If Brian is agreeable and ready, I believe that they will jump at the chance to record, especially Mike.

For me, the big question is, will Capitol or another company give them a contract to record one?

Well that's the thing. A company would, imo, need a strong set of songs ready to ensure they aren't getting a bunch of reheated surf songs, and it's not worth the risk of putting everyone into a high pressure situation without a definite deal...

Brian can turn out decent material with a collaborator, but hasn't done anything great, or even especially good with Mike, imo, since..... oo, 1979 or something?

I think everyone is in a much better place now, than back in that 79-85 time frame. It most likely will be their last one and I would like to see The Beach Boys end with a Brian Wilson written and produced album. SIP and S&S just don't cut it as swan song albums.

Here's what I think should be played for a Beach Boys Anniversary Show, showcasing their whole catalog with music from all aspects, but I will warn you, this is lengthy and is in no order, just songs I thought of that would be appropriate and side notes for directing vocals and/or lead vocal alternates for reasons given:

-Surfin' (SIP version, much like what BW did (with The Little Girl I Once Knew) for the Roxy Theater Shows (live album), play an excerpt of the original boys singing Surfin' together, preferably the version on Hawthorne, CA. Then the guys launch into it and Brian plays on the organ, the "Underwater"/Frogman riff that was added to the version in Hawaii (Lei'd in Hawaii 67).
-Luau (b-side to Surfin, group vocal)
-Island Girl (Al on lead)
-You Need a Mess of Help (Brian/Mike/Jeff share leads)
-Hot Fun in the Summer Time (rearranged to fit more like the Sly Stone version than the SIP cut)
-Car Crazy Cutie/Pamela Jean-(sang not exactly as a medley, but add Pam Jean as one of the choruses as a reference)
-California (of course Brian on "I'm on my Way" at the beginning and throughout the song like the single mix, Al or Jeff on banjo, Al/Mike share leads)
-Our Team (updated version with everyone singing and Al/Brian/Mike/Bruce sharing leads)
-Some of Your Love/Mike Come Back to LA(sang not exactly as a medley, but add Mike Come Back to LA as one of the choruses as a joke, of course Mike on lead)
-Make it Big (Brian and Jeff or Billy H. share lead)
-Let Us Go on This Way (Brian/Mike share lead)
-Almost Summer (Al/Mike share leads)
-Endless Harmony (used as a possibly encore, speed the beat up a bit, maybe update part of the lyrics; let Bruce take the lead. Not sure who should sing "And we sang God Bless America, it's land where we tour....", it's one of my favorite Carl vocals, it should obviously be someone who sounds a lot like Carl, anyone know someone from Mike's band that sounds like him, I'm not as familiar with his band members. Brian could arrange the last vocal chord of the song to sound phenomenal.
-Do it Again (of course, Mike on lead)
-Good Timin' (being biased, I'd suggest Brian but trying to branch out, I somehow remember either Christian Love of John Stamos singing it, and if I remember it right, Stamos did a pretty good job, that is is Stamos is invited)
-Had to Phone Ya-(mixing the 15BO version with horns and such with the American Spring version with "fart synth" and such, but are such good tracks. Hell, it Marilyn Rovell's there, have her come up and sing backing, she was on the original 15BO version, right? Al/Bruce/Brian/Mike share lead vocals in a vocal-like-round like the original)
-Friends- (Al or Brian on lead)
-Marcella- (rocking version like BW's live version, if Blondie's there, have him do "Marcella hey's" towards the 2nd half like the So Tough version or Jeff did a good job of that on the live version; Brian/Al on lead, Mike on "Sandals dancing my feet")
-Lady Lynda or Liberty or whatever L-word Al's fixed on right now. (Of course, Al on lead; Brian on harpsichord and Bruce on piano)
-I'll Bet He's Nice- (Brian on lead)
-Getcha Back- (I'm not sure how Mike's version sounds right now, but I'd like to hear an updated version from the 80's cut from BB85)
-Sail On Sailor (Billy H. and/or Bobby F. on leads if Blondie's not available)
-Girl Don't Tell Me- (performed like Al's version from his live album, I love the drum part that was added. I think Al deserves the lead).
-It's OK- (Mike on lead/Brian on Denny's part "Get a ride" or whatever it is)
-Salt Lake City (Mike should sing lead and play the sax riff, Jeff on falsetto)
-The Night Was so Young (Brian on lead)
-Ruby Baby (including oink oinks, lead by Brian)
-That Same Song-(Brian on lead)
-Sandy/Sherri She Needs Me/She says that She Needs Me (performed as a medley together if at all possible?)
-All This is That (Combing the studio cut with the live version, the sax and/or flute improv solo)

Be interested to see what solo material you'd assign to whom, in all seriousness.

well, it's just some suggestions to choose from...obscure album material is always a favorite to suggest....I've got a couple up my sleeve for all the solo material, mostly ideas for Brian....Not a lot you can do with Carl or Bruce's stuff.

I think both of us can only speculate what Mike would or will do, but my speculation differs from yours. I speculate that everybody would want their own creativity in the album, not just sing to Brian's creative output, furthermore that Brian doesn't want the BBs to sing his stuff anymore, and that Mike would nag about missing hit single potential and that he knows how to write one.

At that rooftop reunion a few years ago, didn't Brian try to give Mike a tape of a song that he wanted Mike to write words for, and Mike declined, saying that he'd rather start a new tune with Brian from scratch?  Or am I mis-remembering?

I'd love to see a setlist of anybody elses that perhaps has the lesser known material they'd like to hear live or see re-recorded.

also, I'd love to see some solo material with what other BB doing vocals on the other's solo songs, does that make sense? Look at mine for an example...I'm really proud of my Rio Grande assigned vocals...I had a couple more when I listened to it the other day, but I can't remember em.

Me too. New stuff that is as good as the classic eras' stuff, with everyone singing live around one mic in perfect circa 1966 voices. And playing their own instruments (also live). And with classic production sounds. But also very appealing to modern audiences so it can sell. But it shouldn't appeal to the masses, as the modern public has bad taste. I don't think I'm asking too much.  Wink

With Brain's band handling the music and helping with background vocals, I'm sure they could pull off recording some half-way decent stuff. If Brian gets adventureous, he can folow up SMiLE with an album of new songs and call it SMiRK.

First, Mike has mentioned many, many times that he would love to write and record with Brian again.

Who wouldn't? Roll Eyes But does Brian really want to write with Mike? I doubt it. Didn't Brian even state in a recent interview he's not sure he even wants to be around the other guys?

Should Brian decide that he wants to do a Beach Boys album, which he has hinted that he might want to do, then I think they will record some of his songs, don't you?

Did Brian mean it when he said he might want to? I don't know, of course, but I doubt that too. Of course if they did record a new album, they would record Brian songs, but I can't imagine them working together as a creative unit.

Lastly, why do you think Mike wants a hit single?

Just to show Brian that Brian couldn't do it without Mike?

In this day and age, do you really think Mike and the Boys could even have one?

You mean without Brian? No way. But would Mike admit that?
With Brian? Probably not even then.

You know, I'm not a Mike basher, but I feel Brian and Mike just - don't - like each other that much.

And of course it's perfectly ok for you and me to disagree,  Smiley

I don't see Brian or Mike doing this, but maybe approving of it (as they prolly have to), but I could see Al and maybe Bruce putting together some "archived songs that we haven't heard."

Somehow, I could see them taking some of the rare stuff (not so rare to booters) but taking songs that are Beachy & cleaning them up like Goin' to the Beach, Almost Summer, It's a Beautiful Day, Skatetown USA, etc.

First, Mike has mentioned many, many times that he would love to write and record with Brian again.

Who wouldn't? Roll Eyes But does Brian really want to write with Mike? I doubt it. Didn't Brian even state in a recent interview he's not sure he even wants to be around the other guys?

Should Brian decide that he wants to do a Beach Boys album, which he has hinted that he might want to do, then I think they will record some of his songs, don't you?

Did Brian mean it when he said he might want to? I don't know, of course, but I doubt that too. Of course if they did record a new album, they would record Brian songs, but I can't imagine them working together as a creative unit.

Lastly, why do you think Mike wants a hit single?

Just to show Brian that Brian couldn't do it without Mike?

In this day and age, do you really think Mike and the Boys could even have one?

You mean without Brian? No way. But would Mike admit that?
With Brian? Probably not even then.

You know, I'm not a Mike basher, but I feel Brian and Mike just - don't - like each other that much.

And of course it's perfectly ok for you and me to disagree,  Smiley


I have no idea how to answer you back. You seem convinced of your opinion.

The Brianista Prayer

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat
