Thanks. This was my first time hearing this song live.

Never imagined that it could be that bad. I mean, it is splendid in its own way, but compare this to a fully arranged setlist containing H&V, GV, Wonderful, Surf's Up + some more smile like vegatables and windchimes maybe? + pet sounds highlights and some hits from Today/ Summer Days....

How many drugs did they take that summer? because it destroyed their reputation forever! Be ashamed Beach Boys!!!!

I still dig Smiley Smile thru to Love You though....

[WWDWD?]

Was this the only time they played Gettin' Hungry live?

Didnt Mike Love + Celebration do that live + recorded  a studio version for 2nd lp..On another note i remember in late 70"s in a rock mag that the 1st name for Celebration was..Waves..!!.And article mentioned Al jardine was involved..I know Al was on Almost Summer + was on TV with Mike + Brian promoting it on Dick Clark"s show..It was weird seeing 3 out of 5 BB on TV calling themselves Celebration.!

Brian isn't weak, his true fight is with mental illness.

This and the second Hawaii concert, yes. It wasn't a very popular thing, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, this is about right. Mental illness isn't a weakness! Brian did what he had to do, and obviously made some terrible decisions. As did the group. As does everybody! He's no genius, just a hard working guy.

It must have been so weird to be in the audience at those Hawaii shows. 

[SMiLE Brian]

It must have been so weird to be in the audience at those Hawaii shows. 

It would have been awesome to see Brian with the band doing H&V though.

True. Those two Hawaii shows were probably the very few, if only, times that the song was played with Brian. The fact that Brian actually took charge as the leader is a bonus.

While we on the subject on the Hawaii concerts, has anyone noticed that the organ part Brian plays durin Surfin' is what ended up being used as a vocal part on Do It Again?

Is that the riff that Brian ripped off from The Frogmen?

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Soon as I've perfected my time machine (and I'm getting close), I'll treat every member of this board to a trip back in time to this concert. We'll appreciate it, eh?

I just need funding, please PM me with bank details.

Can we give Brian a copy of the SMiLE sessions and change history?

He might need a digital tape editor too.  
I don't know how many times I thought about going back in time to help Brian finish Smile, but there's no way I could get past the front door. I probably couldn't even make it to California.

While its a song I'm not particularly fond of this is my favoured recording of Gettin' Hungry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhyP4J4accU

Yes but with an asterisk and a footnote.

Here is the original record of "Underwater" by The Frogmen. Ignore the video, dig the tune...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zVfPEiHctM

The riff in question is played by the guitar, and it only appears on one chorus of the 12-bar blues form of this song. Listen right at :44 and you'll hear it. And it's not as long of a phrase as Brian eventually played on organ in '67 and later sang for Do It Again, it's a more clipped guitar riff. The asterisk is that Brian definitely followed the melody, but it's not an exact rip-off if you want to get technical about it. But obviously this is the origin of the Do It Again hook, no doubt.

The footnote is that this record became a national hit...and it was released on the Candix label, that label of course familiar to Beach Boys fans.

[Aegir]

that could just be a coincidence.

[guitarfool2002]

that could just be a coincidence.

Geez, did I suggest it was anything else? It is an interesting coincidence that the same, semi-obscure label that became more known in Beach Boys' circles for releasing some of their earliest singles would have also released the Frogmen single being discussed on a BB's fan board.

Enjoy the record - back in the day I had to either 1. Find the original 45rpm or 2. find a record collector who had a copy and could dub it in order to hear the original. I found a co-worker who collected 45's and had a copy recorded on cassette after I asked him about The Frogmen. Thanks to the 'net, now it's instant gratification.

Well, you're well, you're welcome...
