I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

Also, *snicker* @ Brian's claim that the 2004 version was done entirely from memory.

Paul Gambaccini is an idiot
Who is he? What is his relation to The Beach Boys? I found his quotes very odd like he did not really know their history, especially their recording history. |

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

I had thought he just meant he hadn't returned to the tapes PRIOR to making the 2004 version. |

That little snippet of "Surf's Up '67" - I'm speechless. So beautiful I can't even believe it.

It certainly is, and it's certainly not Brian who sings it. |

I bet that's Carl. Doesn't sound like Brian at all to me. And the very high notes sound exactly like on the 1971 version. But I only heard that small snippet until now of course, perhaps the whole thing will change my impression. The whole tone of the voice, the count-in, everything sounds like Carl to me. |

But I only heard that small snippet until now of course, perhaps the whole thing will change my impression. The whole tone of the voice, the count-in, everything sounds like Carl to me. The tone is very Carl-like, I agree, but the tell-tale sign for me is in the pronunciation. Carl sang those lyrics with his own distinct way of pronouncing certain words, and you don't hear any of that here. Much like the "Good Vibrations" demo that many (including me) thought was Brian only to find that it was a more forceful Carl, I think this is just a case of Brian singing more softly and Carl-like than usual. Besides, who else but Brian would sit down at a piano in 1967 and play "Surf's Up"? |

Brian had to sign off on all the tracks. I'm sure Brian would've noticed whether or not it was him.

Yes, Carl sounds almost like Brian here at times.  Well ok, have to listen to the complete song. But we agree it's not Bruce! |

It sounds like someone who can play trying to sound like someone who can't. (the chord inversions and harmonics are too accurate for a self taught musician) |

The vocal sounds like Brian; the piano sounds like Brian. I have full trust in the dudes who have the session tape and have spent decades cataloging them to accurately label this stuff.
My impression of '67 Surf's Up: I'm not enamored with the surprise jump in key before "Come about...", but playing the first section a semi-tone lower sounds very different (in a good way) and Brian's singing has more of that soulful, whispering WH vibe to it. It's amazing that this was hidden at the end of a reel.

wow, idk how much i should listen to.. I had this tabbed out while i was playing world of warcraft... and soon as it went to brian and carl talking at what seems to be an all new segment of an "our prayer" session, i couldnt believe it... that was the first to make me really believe this is happening. This is really happening. The SMiLE Sessions... is coming..... Finally. |

Best moment of that interview is Bruce saying "I think anything Brian Wilson does is the right thing to do"  |
