What a great interview. I was amazed at how clear and new everything sounded. Plus,  Surfs Up 1967... WTH? 

[Shady]

Bruce still singing the same tune..

The man will never change

[Freddie French-Pounce]

I'm still looking, anyone know where to find the podast?

found the area, just waiting for it to beconme availible.

[pixletwin]

I'm still looking, anyone know where to find the podast?

According to my browser the show is still going (Brian portion is over)... I would assume it won't be available for at least an hour.

[UK_Surf]

Definitely the WH SU - good lord! Only a few bits, but it's utterly sublime! So...mellow...clear, clean, and articulate, it has the inimitable WH vibe whilst maintaining the clarity & brilliance of the double-tracked solo version. This one is single tracked I reckon.

Also some new sessions.  And that CIFOTM is sooooooooooooo clean.

Wow.  Speechless.

[Freddie French-Pounce]

Wow.  Speechless.

He is speechless...

[pixletwin]

Looking to me as if this won't be available on iplayer. Please tell me I'm wrong, or that someone recorded it? .....

They upload the full show on podcast every day.

[Emdeeh]

That was a great Dennis story from Bruce!

[pixletwin]

Podcast is up! Go get it!!!!

[runnersdialzero]

God damn am I tired of it being said that the entire group sans Brian hated Smile. Enough!

[Shady]

God damn am I tired of it being said that the entire group sans Brian hated Smile. Enough!

It really is annoying

[Wrightfan]

Listening to it now.

-Awesome Our Prayer session. Haven't heard that before for sure.

-Surf's Up track sounds like it's mixed a bit differently then the GV box set version.

-Vega-Tables session (think the tag) is played. Pretty cool.

-Another Vega-Tables session. Sounds like the one hidden track mentioned (vega-tables chomping)

-Heroes and Villains played. Same one we've heard on Tongal.

-Part of Wild Honey Surf's Up played...wow  That chord change really is amazing. Very interesting.

-Child is Father of the Man is so clear!  Sounded a bit odd though like some tape loss or something (shifted briefly to the left at times). May have just been the low quality and/or the broadcast.

That's all I've really listened to. Gotta head out soon.

[UK_Surf]

Wow.  Speechless.

He is speechless...

I give speechless....

[STE]

I managed to stop listening before Surfs'Up '67 came on...  haven't listened to SMiLE music in months, must not give up now!

[Sam_BFC]

So the podcast gives sufficient warning when stuff like SU 1967 are to be played?...I just wanna hear that in full the first time I hear it  so I won't listen to the podcast if it risks that!

[STE]

I used Desmondo's list as reference. however they talk about SU for a bit before (I guess) they play the 67 version.

[JMZ]

Child, child, child, the child (child), father of the maaan, father of the man ...
Child, child, child, the child (child), father of the maaan, father of the man ...

Wow, wow, wow ... This sounds fantastic !!!! 

[monicker]

10. Little VT session - munching - Paul?

No, man, let it go.

[rogerlancelot]

Wow! That was very cool. I laughed out loud when Brian was being asked about the VT session if he remembered it and he came right back with "no!".

[onkster]

Then there's the bit where Brian told Mike something to the effect of, if he didn't want to keep growing, then he should stop living...

As Vincent Vega might have said, tha's a bol' statement.

[SMiLE Brian]

Then there's the bit where Brian told Mike something to the effect of, if he didn't want to keep growing, then he should stop living...

As Vincent Vega might have said, tha's a bol' statement.

Brian makes some deep statements when he is annoyed by Mike....

[37!ws]

Okay, judging from the podcast, at least SOME of what "Leila" posted wasn't fake...the podcast includes the "Surf's Up" modulation in the exact same place Leila's description said.

FWIW, the song starts out a semi-tone lower than all other versions, but on the line "Come about hard..." it goes up to the normal key.

[18thofMay]

Remember those people that were saying that Brian's voice was shot by mid-late 67'.... Umm Surfs Up 67..
