Ugh...I could definitely do without hearing Blondie Chaplin screeching through "Wild Honey."
Agreed give me the raw 1964 Sacramento tapes of the BBs kicking ass with Brian on Bass.
The only BB live recording better than the raw 1964 Sacramento tapes is -IMHO- the 1964 Sydney recording of "What'd I Say". I hope they include that in the coming box set. Their TAMI show performance also exceeded Sacramento, but the recording is drowned in audience screaming.
From the current tour I'd prefer a DVD rather than a CD or double CD.
Going from the bootlegs I think the Sacramento '64 are great and the original "Beach Boys' Concert" album doesn't come near the excitement the shows had.
And yes, "What'd I say" is awesome. There's also the '64 swedish radio broadcast which features a live version of "Louie, Louie". One or two discs of great early live performances (the striped-shirt years) wuld be cool. Chicago '65... bring it on !
