GOOD VIBRATIONS promo video ex-ci-ta-tions

More important to me is the question - is that ball made by Wilson, or not ?

Obviously this quote is brilliant as usual because Andrew is alluding to the movie SECONDS & Rock Hudson's lead character Tony Wilson. Wilson say's, "It all began with a big red ball" as he draws a big ball. So Andrew's insightful comment, "...is that ball made by Wilson" certainly is not missed by this lucky reader.

That then begs the larger question about the movie SECONDS seemingly mysteriously knowing Brian's edits for the unreleased GV promo film prior to the promo's premiere and whether this line may have made Brian uncomfortable. Excellent work Mr. Doe.

Tobelman, are you stoned?  Or are you just joking?  Why can't you look at stuff at face value sometimes?

Did you know that the sports equipment company named 'Wilson' made basketballs?

Have you ever seen the picture of Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) holding a 'Wilson' baseball glove up to his face?

light the lamp and fire mellow
cabinessence timely hello
welcomes the time for a change
lost and found you still remain there
you'll find a meadow filled with grain there
i'll give you a home on the range
who ran the iron horse
i ran the iron horse

i want to watch you wind blown facing
waves of wheat for your embracing
folksingasong of the grange
nestled in a kiss below there
the constellations ebb and flow there
and witness our home on the range

who ran the iron horse

have you seen the grand coulee working on the railroad
over and over the crow cries uncover the cornfield
over and over the thresher and hover the wheatfield

THIS SONG MAKES STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER SOUND LIKE A BAD MONKEES SONG

Seriously I think Brian just knew when he met Paul and heard She's Leaving Home and played Wonderful afterwards that if he released Smile then, it would send Paul into a nervous breakdown. Brian is too sweet to be so mean just to win a music competitive thing. That's an ego game, Brian blew his ego away, ask Bill Toblerone. Brian shelved Smile so that Paul would not be shattered upon hearing things like Cabinessence. Don't you know that Brian was horrified that Our Prayer & Cabinessence were put on 20/20? Fortunately Paul only listens to Beach Boys albums that Brian considered his own masterpieces so he still hasn't heard 20/20. But I guess since 2004 Paul has gotten used to Smile, Brian released the toned down BWPS to make it less earth shattering for him.

The Beach Boys hadn't been taken seriously as current artists since the "Here Comes The Night" fiasco ten years earlier, and prior to that they'd been on the thinnest of ice since the sellout-fest 15BO left such a bad taste around the industry and fandom.

Why was 15 Big Ones considered a sellout?  I wasn't around to judge it in context.

15 Big Ones is a crude title. I resent even thinking of it. Imagine telling someone, my favorite album is 15 Big Ones by The Beach Boys. It sounds like a mix tape made by male strippers.

Sorry to be such a pain but someone said this about Barbara Rovell's red shirt in the GV video:

Sorry Bill, all it means is that morning she picked a red top out of the closet that day..

As you know Brian W. was a control freak on the details. Your claim may very well not be the case.

I like the "Sloop John B." sheet music shot. Seems like a SMiLE picture to me. The red on Brian with the red #1 on the engine. Reminds me of all the red circular references in the GV promo film & the reddish sun in Frank Holmes' drawings for SMiLE. Children typically make a yellow sun but Frank's were more on the red side of things. Coincidence maybe, just like the reddish tone of the photographs in the smile booklet.

The Beach Boys' SMiLE era clothes were the Western shirt with the check pattern and the moccasins. Pretty SMiLE don't you think? There is apparently significance and meaning attached to the clothes some people connected to the SMiLE era wore.

Columnated Kingston Trio striped shirt ruins turn into chessboard (too obvious, let's switch it to dominoes) domino. Frank, put a chessboard & dominos in two of your pictures.

Because every studio LP they had made up until that one showed at least some degree of artistic progression...or creative growth. 15BO was the first time the Beach Boys tried to cash in on what they used to be with a new LP specifically made to evoke their old self. Plus it was a rush job, it was half baked, and it made them seem irrelevant. It gave them some quick bucks, but it damaged their standing and their legacy. To me that is a sellout. But hey, easy for me to say...I don't have any alimony to pay, drug habits to feed, or llamas to shave.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Geek Central. 

geek or not......I love this vintage LA footage and discussion.  I was a young teen at the time captured in this film.......my favorite nostalgia.

Loved Dominic P's book "Riot on the sinset Strip  for the same reason.   Takes me back to a delicious time

follow up to my last post

this thread took a nasty turn after a few pages.  too bad we can't just bask in the sunshine this music and film was intended to bring.....

  This kind of reply is awesome. I love the footage and discussion even though I wasn't there - to hear from those who were there and who have memories of these places captured on film is great.

If you lived in or near Los Angeles, were you tuning in to KHJ or KRLA for your music at that time?

15 big steaming piles of sh*t. 15 clunkers. 15 mistakes. big ones.

[hypehat]

I think you mean 14 mistakes and Had To Phone Ya 

[Bill Tobelman]

The GV promo is Brian's SMiLE era thinking on display. The only thing missing is VDP lyrics.

The images presented and the deeper meanings within are lost on those approaching things from a practical perspective.

[Aegir]

I think you mean 14 mistakes and Had To Phone Ya 

well, no, because that implies I don't like the album. I find all of the songs on it pleasant, but that's not what the album titles connotes.

Doesn't your 15 Big Steaming Piles of Sh*t title also imply you don't like the album?

[Myk Luhv]

"chapel of love" is awesome if only because it sounds like brian is some giddy little adult child singing it. that owns.

No. I just feel like that's what the title "15 Big Ones" says. what one would gather from the title. not what my opinion of the music within is.

Um... someone care to explain to me how you can inadvertently post a PM on a forum ?  And then leave it there for over two hours ?

being senile and hungover is also a valid excuse

Um......., that "Good Vibrations" is one hell of a good song!
