Show 69: Allphones Arena - Sydney, AU 8/30/12

Lastly, any mention of "the next BB album"?

Nobody seems to know *what's* going to happen down the road.  Probyn's not optimistic about another Beach Boys tour, but he did say he's expecting to be back in Australia with Brian fairly soon...

Cheers,
Jon Blum

thanks Jon. I (fixated and naive) hope that means that Brian wants to write some melodies there and take them back to Mike in LA to write lyrics for for the next album.  With all the compilations coming out, all I care about in new BB music.  Did you have a sense of what BJ meant by a "bunt"? Was I correct in my overly hopeful analysis of it?  I really hope he and all the BB love the album as we do.

Did you have a sense of what BJ meant by a "bunt"? 

Probably the same thing Carl meant when he referred to Smiley Smile that way. Bruce was probably referencing that as well, that is a famous Carl quote.

FWIW, I thought Scott T's take on "Let Him Run Wild" was more effective for not being a carbon-copy of Brian -- it gave it a certain freshness.  It doesn't have the sort of unearthly perfectness of classic Brian vocals, but it sounded like a real guy really singing rather than a reproduction!

Cheers,
Jon Blum

[Pretty Funky]

Nah....'The Heckler' did not do the review. Just a chance to be negative.

Not the greatest, but this is the smh review.

Gotcha… so The Heckler's a columnist?

The Heckler is a column and the content is via reader submitted contributions - with some subbie or staff writer augmentation I would imagine.

at 3.00 what concert is that and is there any circulating footage of it?

Did anybody have the guts to make any mention of the 1978 Australian tour? 

There's a short snippet of it at the end of this interview with the boys (I don't think the interview was posted before):

Wow...I've never seen that clip before. Was it from the Melbourne show?

You do realise that's not actually Kochie don't you? Its actually Rick B in bad glass and an offensive shirt!

The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations- From the Myer Music Bowl Melbourne" premiered on Channel 7, May 10, 1978. Not sure if it was a State or National broadcast.

National

If you look closely, the clothing Carl is wearing in that clip doesn't match what he wore in the circulating Melbourne video. Unless he put on some type of jacket during the show. I've only seen parts of the show, and I've never seen Good Vibrations from the circulating show.

Thanks for the photograhs, Emdeeh! Seems I recognize what song Mike performs in the last one. GV, that is.

I made a big post a long time ago, and it seems it went amiss.I just wanted  to say the concert/orient double were just awesome and thankyou to those that organised it.

Was great to meet and chat with those members of the band that were there and to collect autographs for my Sloop John B book. Anyway will post this now before I lose this one too...
