Video: Carl & other BBs (plus Stamos) backstage singing "Forever"

Stumbled across this on YouTube, never seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL2_OyJfnCo

Interesting how much more serious matters become once Carl takes charge.

Who else is in the room? Bobby Figueroa, Steady Eddie, Jeff Foskett, Matt Jardine, and original Beach Boys Bruce Johnston, John Stamos, Carl Wilson and Al Jardine, plus someone else in the bottom left corner I can't place.

Very nice clip. Thanks to John Stamos!

[drbeachboy]

Looked like Chris Farmer to me.

[RONDEMON]

Great find! Hope he posts more.

Fantastic!

It looks more like Gary Griffin than Ed Carter.
Also, Mike Kowalski, not Bobby Figueroa.
I don't see Jeff Foskett, but I briefly spotted Tim Bonhomme.

I think it's Ed Carter.. and isn't that Foskett in the first couple of seconds on the couch, playing guitar?

Good call… and after I'd looked uop how to spell Figueroa! 

yep, I reckon that's Foskett on the couch before Carl takes over the guitar

[drbeachboy]

Not Foskett. It looks like Chris Farmer playing the guitar during the Sammy Davis, Jr. impersonation.

Yeah, maybe you're right..

No way it's Foskett ( I agree)   but which do you think is Ed Carter?  The guy that waves his hand?

Yap. That's the same guy who's dressed in blue in the first couple of seconds, right? But could be Gary Griffin too, I suppose... weird.  But I'd say it's Carter. Stamos himself could probably clear this up - somebody with a YouTube account should post a comment there.

It's Gary Griffin, Carter was no longer with the band at that point (and also wears glasses). Foskett is not in the video, he also was no longer with the band at that time (M. Jardine had taken over for Adrian Baker, who had himself taken over for Foskett). Not sure who that is on the couch, Farmer was in the band at that time, so it could be him although it doesn't really look like him. The guy briefly visible on the left is Tim Bonhamme, who replaced Mike Meros as the band's keyboardist.  He also served as road manager on the C50 tour.

In any event, this video is the kind of stuff that is just priceless to see.

Happy to concede – I'm learning!

Damn, wrong on both accounts - but I'm takin' it. Thanks for clearing that up. I never was that knowledgeable about the comings and goings of the touring band guys. Let's hope Stamos is goign to upload more of that stuff.

[bgas]

So this is defintely Stamos posting this? ( and not someone posing as John) 

[Lowbacca]

Might be, yeah. And why not? Seems like stuff he (had) recorded privately back then and probably treasures nowadays and wants to share with people. I'm eager to see what's next..

Sure, hope he posts some more, this one is cool, tho Mike forgot it was rehearsal time....
 But how did Stamos record it( hand held) when he was in the videos?

That's why I added the "(had)" - he probably had a friend with him or someone else from the BBs entourage recorded it. Who knows.

[Shady]

wow, that's very cool.

Is John Stamos an original Beach Boy?

No , both Tim and Mike Meros where in the Band on keys prior to the sad demise of Carl and for a couple of years after (Tim joined at the same time as Chris F, Chris replaced Ed)

Gary Griffin and Ed Carter can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umZABFae6ak

They guy playing guitar at the beginning is 300% Chris Farmer.

OK, I can concede Bonhamme and Meros may have overlapped in the band (maybe Bonhamme replaced Billy Hinsche??). Bonhamme and Farmer indeed joined at the same time.  In any event, that is Bonhamme briefly in the video

Love that sound when Carl is singing and Al harmonizes with his part. Just so vocally strong.

Right!! That vibrato on "my my my my myyyy". Incredible. Carl was as on point as ever.

Great footage.
