Best 5 performances:

Please Let Me Wonder - maybe the best song arrangement Brian has ever performed live with this group. Awesome.

Darlin' - Darian storming the joint

Don't Worry Baby - Jeff should do more leads. Gorgeous.

Heroes & Villains - very cleverly and immensely skilfully done, but leaves me cold emotionally

Add Some Music - never heard this done by the group before. Very tender and moving. But why did Roy Orbison never sue over the Only The Lonely steal?

Worst/the dregs:

Catch A Wave - awful arrangement, Brian trying to do a bass vocal lead.

Drive-In - not being a fan of this track, it struck me as a substandard rip-off of "At The Hop" by Danny & The Juniors

Gershwins:

To my ear, it was like hearing a Beach Boys/Gershwin mash-up rather than a genuine synthesis of the two forms. The two elements were layered one over the other rather than meshing.

Why should he ? There's no "Only the lonely"-similarity in Add Some Music

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


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.

HUH??? 

Been listening to "Add Some Music" since the early 70's and not once have I ever connected it to the "Only The Lonely" lyrics by Orbison or even thought it remotely sounded like "Only The Lonely".

And "Heroes & Villains" left you cold?      Wow.

Harrison's back!   Gawwwwwwwwwd.  Roll Eyes

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!
