Brian doesn't sound "natural" on the clip of "California Dreamin" either.  His voice is boosted too high in the mix and whatever they're using to bump his voice up makes it sound odd (since other people have mentioned it could be something electronic, but not autotune).  Al's lead part on the song sounds natural and is balanced well with the other vocalists, and it isn't nearly as loud as Brian's.  Example from last night's show:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9QAA1RP4Tw

Sorry, I don't agree.  I think Brian sounds as forceful and confident as any time I have seen him live...probably close to a dozen times.   He carried his own leads for entire performances, and people were just stunned that he was back with the fans.  I have sat within 6 feet or so of the stage and have seen him perform similarly.  

This whole "autotune" concept, I think should be in some other classification, like "The Sandbox," where people who have some superior sound knowledge can debate among others similarly situated.  I've learned a lot from some of those very enlightened posters who are professional sound people.  Picking apart the performance of a 70 year-old (or soon to be) smacks of bullying and is just ridiculous, in my opinion.  No one cares.  

Fans are delighted that there is a tour that seems to keep growing and adding performance dates, and constantly revising a setlist from a catalog which is unparalelled among rock bands.  This is just needless nitpicking.  No lifer fan cares about the detail stuff.  They just want to see the guys in good health, working together, making a go of what was an "Impossible Dream" for many fans.  A 50th reunion!  New music!  

Please, Moderators, send the autotune discussions to The Sandbox, where it belongs.  

This isn't the Blueboard.  The topic is about music and belongs on the board.  Brian doesn't sound "forceful and confident," he sound odd and doesn't match the sonic quality of the rest of the band's singers.  Al has a strong voice and he's not mixed nearly as high.

I think it is more obvious here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZrIyFaPRTE&list=UUTEI495QOhhZejH2-0_ge-A

On the first verse, Brian sings terribly off key, and then they activate it for the second verse, on which Brian sounds like Cher. It's undeniable on this recording.
To my ears it's already on the first verse... and sounds off-key because of it.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Apologies to Mikey and Anazgnos, etal  I should have qualified by saying "Most" lifers don't care about it.  I know a lot of "lifer" fans. 

By that demographic, I mean some back to 1961, (not I) and those with slightly fewer, say 47 years. 

Worrying about minutiae among this colossal event, in my humble opinion is ridiculous.  Hope I did not offend those who are into the sound event that this might present.  I am fortunate that someone here explained what "Duophonic" stereo was.  I know almost nothing. 

Again, mea culpa.  "Most" lifers dont care.  We like them just the way they are!

This is only a movie!  Wink

Ridiculous? No, I don't think so; just stating their opinion, as do all of us. But it does seem to reek of insanity, at least of the temporary sort and definitely not qualified to speak for all lifer, or any other, fans

That is great; but, this is the "General Discussion" section and not a professional sound section.  And frankly it is like speaking a foreign language in the company of those who don't understand it.  That is why other sections might be more appropriate.  And some of the tone is that of dissing band members whose voices don't stand up to a critic's standards.  

Snag Films (free on Roku) has a Beach Boys movie with clips going back to the beginning.  Beach Boys: An American Band. 1986.  I don't expect them to sound 20 years old.  

There are people who feel left out of a discussion in which participation is limited to a few, real experts, to the exclusion of most.  

That is why this is a "General Discussion."  Most people can "generally" discuss what the topic is.

There is a thread, "The Autotune Thread," that was started specifically for such discussion. It's a good place to self-segregate such discussion, if the participants are willing.

Except this isn't "General Discussion" it's >>General On Topic Discussions   A place to talk about The Beach Boys. <<  which is what is happening. 
If some feel left out( do you speak for all of them, by the way?) they'll gravitate to other threads where they can participate more to their liking. I personally don't have much to contribute, but it doesn't stop me from reading when I like, and I certainly wouldn't ask anyone that does feel like participating in the thread to take it somewhere else, beacuse it's ABOUT THE BEACH BOYS!

So what happened at this specific show that warrants pages and pages of Autotune posts? How was it different from any of the other earlier shows?

Yes, it's just a joke. I extend my humble apologies. So you think they'll drop it over the next few months? I bet at least the PBS special mixes and the eventual live CD set won't have that effect... just relentless overdubs and syllable by syllable autotuning to minimize that horrendous jittery pitch artifacting. I'm still looking forward crazily to the concerts and i'm sure over the PAs and with that wave of energy beaming everywhere it won't matter much.

I've messed with a few of those systems for live singing and it sure doesn't "fix" my pitiful singing but gives a nice alien Residents effect or something when you twiddle with the intervals n' formants and knobs. They should maybe restrict it to something like "H & V" where it kind of suits the psychedelia. But on Sail On Sailor it sounds really sad and pathetic. Give it to David Marks to do, Wilson looks so annoyed singing it anyway.

Have you visited this board over the last few years? Mike has far more support here from some quarters than Brian.

Perhaps it would be better to start your experiments with someone who really cares about the details, and could help quantify the results, such as, Mikie.

I mentioned Brian was too loud in the mix compared to other singers, and that would be true whether or not he's being autotuned.  So, it's not a complaint for the autotune thread.  There are YouTube videos of Brian at his solo shows performing the same songs as this Beach Boys tour, and he's well-balanced in the mix with the band and the harmony singers.  For some reason, he's not, so far, on this BB reunion tour.  It doesn't do him any favors, whether they're using autotuning or chorus or doubling effects or nothing extra is being used.  I blame Joe Thomas.  It can't be Brian or his previous sound people.
