Especially the version on In Concert, I think it might be one of the most underrated Beach Boys songs and it shows that had Fataar and Chaplin stayed with the group longer, they really could have done some great things. The chord progression sort of reminds me of Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky." It's really a beautiful song and Blondie did a great job singing it.

The In Concert version also sustains that beautiful tag that fades out all too soon on the album version. In Concert was one of first BB's albums, for some reason, and I always really liked it!

Leaving This Town...Fabulous epic song, one of my favorites, on the Concert album... Rhonda, Sail On, Sailor, You Still Believe in Me, Don't Worry Baby...ordered beautifully... Every song a winner! |

It truly is epic, the In Concert version is pretty heavy and the band has never sounded cooler. The live performance of We Got Love is also stellar and you can't help but lament it's absence on Holland. As mentioned if Blondie and Ricky stayed on board throughout the seventies we may have been sparred the audio vomit that is 15 Big Ones, M.I.U. Album and LA.

but I COMPLETELY, COMPLETELY agree that Leaving This Town is epic! Leaving This Town (especially the live version) is my favorite Beach Boys song of the moment actually. I might hold up a "PLAY LEAVING THIS TOWN" sign when I go to the reunion shows, that's how serious I am about loving this song.
Leaving This Town and Loving This Song are actually pretty similar, it's almost like it was destiny!
Leaving This Town
Loving This Song
SEE? I wish I had a band that were influenced only by this song. All our songs would be inferior attempts to replicate the glory and feeling of wonder and amazement of Leaving This Town.

Actually, per Bruce's own admission the only BB album he wasn't on was MIU. I wish I could remember which song he was on on Holland, though! |

I had the In Concert version on a mix CD on my local pub jukebox 10 years ago. Once someone asked if it was Ocean Colour Scene.

Let's not forget Carl's now timeless and immortal singing on "Let The Wind Blow" off of In Concert.
Truly In Concert is one of THE Best live LP's ever recorded.

The live verision of WGL is far superior to the studio version, which was pretty limp and rightly ditched from Holland, IMHO. |

Nope! Both are better live on the In Concert album, but neither are dreadful. |

Not me. Maybe not a popular opinion to have but I almost prefer the live version of Funky Pretty over the studio version. |

That's one thing I found frustrating about the In Concert album, it's a double record and there are no Dennis Wilson compositions or any songs with Dennis on lead, seems blasphemous considering the great material he wrote around the time of CATP and Holland. The bits of Dennis speaking to the crowd between songs makes me want to hear more of him and there was a performance during those 72/73 concerts of Help Me Rhonda with Dennis on lead, makes you wonder why it wasn't included. |
