It looks like a promo video that was never released. Just a guess. Did Carl really play bass on the song? Why is Mike Love wearing gloves? It seems stage-y.

Mmmh right, i also thought the camera angles were too cool to be just obscure footages (but then that's just me) it looks really great and it would have been a very good video.. maybe they could release it for another anniversary of the album or something. |

Right, this is almost certainly similar to the footage we've seen for the current album: staged shortly after the actual track was recorded. Or, if we use that sentence at the end from Brian about how the cameras can't be in there while they're doing the actual "tapes", it was perhaps while they were rehearsing the vocal parts. Awesome stuff, though.

Answers: Yes, he did (on that version). Because it's the sixties. |

This is amazing!
And as mentioned, obviously more profesionally filmed with the film-lights standing around than we thought. Done by Capitol like the Pet Sounds promo?
These films contain exactly what I hoped to see, mindblowing to me.
Now we've seen snippets here and there, and to see it cut together like this is just, again, so amazing, hope to see the whole thing together sometime.

This is awesome but there's no way it would have been used as a promo clip back then; not with all the flack the Monkees got for not playing their own instruments. Back then (for the most part) the L.A. scene's use of the Wrecking Crew was a secret shared only among those inside the industry.

Does anyone who can read lips know what Brian appears to be saying at 3:10? I feel like I can almost hear it in my head, but I can't.

Perhaps Brian arranged the filming of some of the sessions himself for his own collection of home movies? Somebody should ask Joe Thomas where it came from.

Yes, this footage was the highlight of the PBS special for sure...and the special was pretty good overall!
The footage is definitely staged in a way that is similar to the behind-the-scenes footage done recently for the Beach Boys and for Brian's solo recordings. The difference being that this is probably shot only moments before-or-after the actual session work was being recorded. We're seeing rehearsals, listening to playbacks and the boys are going through the vocals that they either just recorded or will be recording soon. A fantastic artifact nonetheless and the passage of time only increases its value. I'm sure the same thing will be true for the behind-the-scenes footage for the new album; in 20 or 30 years, the "staged" aspect will matter less.
By the way, much of this footage plays behind the Beach Boys when they perform "Good Vibrations" on their current tour.
Also, immediately after this segment in the PBS special, there is a fairly extended snippet of a backing track with backing vocals for a song that didn't make it onto the new album (this is what I'm assuming, anyway) - it reminded me a bit of the "Between Pictures" link track on THAT LUCKY OLD SUN.

Well, we know for sure that the filming of the Wrecking Crew instrumental session wasn't staged. The evidence is available on the 'Sea Of Tunes' series. You can actually hear the camera rolling in the background during 'real' takes and then dog ear Brian asked to stop filming.

While this is certainly the greatest thing to happen to mankind, I have to say it's a little disappointed that the only footage of tracking sessions is of this song. Still, not to complain or anything...

… so far. Maybe one day all the outtakes for David Oppenheim's film shot of Brian and the band for the Inside Pop programme will emerge. (Yes, I did cut & paste a bit of that…) |
