One amazing moment in Oslo during the soundcheck

Soundcheck in Oslo July 31 was amazing, but didn't want to raise any hopes or spoil anything so I waited til the last show was done
Band + Bruce present at onstage for soundcheck, empty indoor venue, no VIP-guest. Brian was sitting next to the stage.
After they've soundchecked 'Warmth of the sun' (!) the band + Bruce does Surf's Up
with Scott on lead. Sounded amazing. After they're finished, Al arrives onstage saying:
"play the coda again, i think i remember my parts"
So they start playing the tag again and then Al joins in with his powerful voice in perfection:
"A children's song have you listened as they played"
sh*t, that was amazing. Not a dry eye in sight.
Those 2 minutes was worth the trip alone.

Was just thinking the same thing. Damn, if somebody had just caught it on video, even a cell phone.....
Surf's Up. That's one song I wish they woulda included on the tour.

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!!

You mean to say that SU was played on Norwegian soil? I feel overly privileged, yet somehow saddened that it wasn't performed in the concert I attended just a few hours later....

This may sound crazy, but I'd be willing to pay good money for that recording. I know that's wrong, but maybe BRI will see this and put it on the box?
Seriously, i'm talking real stuff here guys, Surf's Up is the song that kept me alive last year.

Hearing it was stunning.
The soundcheck in general was cool to hear, as they did Warmth and I can hear music. Me and Fallbreaks knew the setlists from the tour by heart
and new it was something special. Suddenly Jeff went to Brian who was sitting next to the stage saying "they're gonna do Surf's up now. you wanna sit in front and listen?". Brian
was happy were he sat but I can tell you that my pulse went up 2000%.
The venue was empty, so guess no one recorded it.

See, where I come from, "they're gonna do Surf's up now. you wanna sit in front and listen?" means TAKE OUT ANY DEVICE THAT CAN RECORD AND RECORD. I guess these things aren't universal.

There are situations when it's just not "good manners" to do so..

I don't see how this was particularly special. It was the backing band performing it at soundcheck. There's plenty of recordings of the bulk of that band playing Surf's Up, for example the recording on a little 2004 album called Brian Wilson Presents Smile.

But not in the presence of the reunited Beach Boys, and Al goes over to sing it for the first time since what 1973?

Sure he remembers his part on Surf's Up after nearly 40 years, but still blows WIBN from time to time. Only Alan Jardine....

Looks like Scott, Probyn and Nelson are always ready to perform "Surf's Up"...here they are in London on 9/24 at a small gig (?):

Hearing the band performing it was great. The magic begun when Al asked them to do the coda again and nailed it.

oh, that is pretty cool!
I guess I initially misread it or misunderstood it or something, I was under the impression that all just sang his lines acapella into the microphone after the band had already stopped playing.

Why would they do Warmth Of The Sun, I Can Hear Music, and Surf's Up during the soundcheck, but not the actual performance? Why would they need to practice those songs? Hmm.

Sometimes songs might be rehearsed just to see how they could sound and if they would qualify for "official" rehearsal.
Songs might be rehearsed but they don't get to be in the shape needed to be performed in concert.
Or they could just be rehearsed for fun.

While a band or performer can use a soundcheck to rehearse songs, a soundcheck is basically what the title implies. Getting house levels set and eq'd, getting monitor levels set and eq'd, etc. In this case, it appears the band just played these tunes for fun. Beats running through the same old songs that you've already played 50 times on the tour.

No offense to Mr.Totten, but I'm not interested in hearing anyone other than Brian or Carl sing "Surf's Up" at a Beach Boys show. If it had to happen, I'm glad it didn't happen like that, although obviously the chance exists they were just dicking around and Scott was singing lead for the rehearsal.
Also interesting that Scott Bennett called it the "My Gods". So now, from official sources, we have "My God", "Bygone", and "Michael". JEEZ.
