haha, yeah, Melinda looks so angry.

Perception is an interesting thing, to me she looks relaxed and grooving to the music.

It's great to see Brian interact with the guys too.  He actually looks very calm and very content. ...  Looks like it went fine.   Brian may have realized at the end of the session that hanging around his old friends wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be...

I'm more of a Brian Wilson fan than a Beach Boys fan and I wouldn't have thought the Beach Boys would let Brian have control and that bugged me. But in this video Brian seems really confident and they're all listening to him. On top of that this track to me sounds like something Brian would be happy with, I really like it, their voices sound good, nice arrangement, good sound overall. I hope they're having as good a time as they seem to be. I'm starting to get optimistic about this album.

Not only can you tell its an early version of the video due to the absence of David Marks, but also because just about every non-Beach Boys video has 'Gatty Imgaes' scrawled all over it!

Yes, and no David Marks parking sign at Capitol Records either.  Funny how history repeats itself 

I think it's pretty obvious David wasn't on-board when this thing started.  Wonder who stepped up and made it happen.
Maybe the band was listening to this 'highly influential' board?

I think, without overblowing our own trumpet, that this board has an effect.  When it comes to fandom, we do after all have "Beach Boys" tattooed on our hearts. Well, written on the back of my essay book. In invisible ink.

I think it's odd that you see the guitar player use the whammy bar during the solo, but you can't actually hear it.

I think it's odd that you see Mike playing the sax during the solo, but he can't actually play it that well.

Since the original poster said it was ok to make this video public, here it is on Youtube. It may be useful if you want to share the love on whatever social network you use.

Should anyone want this removed, ask me and I'll do it immediately.

The youtube poster's video credits say the saxophonist is unknown, but it looks like Mertens to me.

As good as i could have expected, and not embarrassing at all. Let's hope the album is this classy.

Hi folks

I'm not certain what the legal status of that video is, to be frank. Not my dropbox account. Better not to post it on YouTube, etc. Please keep it reasonably private here,  entres nous, until I hear otherwise. Looks like an unfinished video cut to me, with Getty Images in place instead of original material. So I don't want some editor to get in trouble. I have no idea what the original source is.

The credits are what AGD posted on this very message board a few hours ago, nothing more.

I happen to read this messageboard. I also read the following messages, posted after the ones you quoted -

Bit late for that - it was reposted to the Hoff, and on from there (amongst others by me, I freely admit): you said in the original post your friend gave you the OK to go public with it (and yes, here is public), and you didn't state any restrictions whatsoever, so my conscience is clear. I suggest you start doing some fancy thinking.

Well, there it is. As I said, he did say it was okay to go public with it, so mine is clear too.

Only trying to be helpful, that's all…  the link repeated elsewhere was the original Dropbox link -  there was a specific request not to post to YouTube.  Only trying to be helpful…

I know, and I'm taking the risk. I've stated on this board and in the video description that I'm willing to delete this video as soon as I'm asked to do it, if I'm asked to do it. Thanks for the heads-up anyway. 

This video is just too good to be ignored. I think sharing it is actually a good way of promoting the reunion!

David reached out to Mike by picking up the phone and calling him.

good for Mike, then.

Regarding the DIA version, it sounds just so right, so authentic, that I like to think that this was created 43 years ago just for this celebration. And that  the endless nightly performance of this song (which always remained a somewhat obscure number, never a major hit) was a long rehearsal/preparation for this moment.

These guys are fulfilling our life-long dreams. This is something we'll talk about all of our lives.

Oh. So the board doesn't have an effect…   I'm off back to bed… 


Merry Christmas.

It's interesting...Mike's voice sounds less "nasally" than he does in concert.  Live, I always thought he always nailed the vocal and always retained that register pretty well.  For some reason, on this version, he's on a lower register and less nasal....wondering if it's a physical limitation or an artistic choice?  

Even in the early years Mike always sounded much more nasal in live appearances than on the studio cuts.

[smile-holland]

Must be coincidence, but I do like the SMiLE-era outfit Bruce is wearing.

2:58: cross-fade from Mike in the booth singing to a couple of chicks in bikinis on the beach. Is that Mike's personal vision of heaven???
