I was at that show back in April 1983 at the Meadowlands in Jersey when they played Lookin at Tomorrow. I was floored by it. I believe it was at the time when Carl had just recently returned to the band, and as a part of that return insisted that they not only practice more, but add some new tunes and arrangements to the setlist. Didn't last long, but I believe that was the reason. Will always remember this show as Dennis was there and it was the last time I saw him perform. Billy Joel also showed up for Rhonda. Strangest(and saddest) thing about this show.....Dennis did a very very raspy version of You Are So Beautiful, standard at the time. Really hoarse.....in the newspapers the next day, the Newark Star Ledger reported that Billy Joel AND JOE COCKER, showed up at the Beach Boy concert, that's how rough Dennis sounded.
Cool story! I'm just glad that, with all the reports of "Dennis could not sing by '83 due to injury" etc. that he indeed still was singing this one.

1. WE GOT LOVE - their biggest mistake not putting that song on the Holland album. BTW, I'd love Neil Young to do that song...
2. CUDDLE UP - One of Dennis's best moments - so romantic.
3. LONG PROMISED ROAD - Carl at his best.
4. COOL COOL WATER - any version...
5a. YOU NEED A MESS OF HELP TO STAND ALONE - a nice rocker, quite unusual and complex, yet simple. Listen to the harmonies at the end of the song...
5b. MATCHPOINT OF OUR LOVE - I know many people hate this, and yes, the lyrics are quite, errr, well, but it's a nice tune, with an unusual oriental feel. If you like this one, I can also recommend Incense and peppermints/Strawberry Alarm Clock, Colours of darkness/Young Idea, Reflections from the looking glass
/1910 Fruitgum Co., Dragonfly/Fleetwood Mac.
And also for the next "Rarities, odds and ends" box...
Here comes the night 1979 instrumental...

From these posts it looks like Somewhere Near Japan should have been included. As has been generally agreed upon by many that this was, prior to TWGMTR, the last good Beachboys song. The album version is readily available to anyone but I'm not sure where the 45 version can be found. I seem to recall it being on one of the more widely circulated boots. Anybody recall which boot that might be?

Hawaii (swap with Our Car Club)
Keep An Eye On Summer (swap with Surfers Rule)
Wonderful (Smile version instead of smiley smile)
Little Pad (swap with the third version of Heroes and Villains)
All I Wanna Do (swap with, I dunno, Don't Back Down)

In The Back Of My Mind (instrumental track) - seriously could've replaced
the vocal session highlights for Pom Pom Playgirl
without many complaints.
Summer's Gone should've been the last song before the Live section.

And they put "In The Back Of My Mind" on the box with Dennis' shaky lead...

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

You mean the only lead he ever recorded for the song (albeit single-tracked)? The one that's nearly perfect and really fitting for the song? What's the alternative?
Also, rab, I don't think it was ever "Should we put a session highlight of 'Pom Pom Playgirl' on this or the 'In The Back Of My Mind' track?" Regardless, it's nice that we got something we never heard before.

Never said it was anything like that, just suggested that it could've been a better choice of song.

I need a bit more time to think of the studio songs, but here are three songs that I would have been stoked to see as live performances on MiC:
"What'd I Say?" - 1964.
Hugely energetic and easily one of the best performances the band delivered in the early era. Kicks the ass of anything on
Beach Boys Concert
. Carl delivers a taste of "Wild Honey" three years early, Dennis' drumming is wild and Mike gives a surprisingly decent sax performance.
"Roller Skating Child" - 1978.
While the performance in this video is pretty badass, I have a strong feeling there's a rawer version out their somewhere. I demand a full scale manhunt for the grungiest, dirtiest performance of "RSC" in existence. Poorly performed? Awesome. Tempo too fast? Awesome. Brian sounding like a member of Slipknot? Awesome. I
need
a lethal dose of the Beach Boys' demented take on punk,
please
give it to me Capitol.
"Lookin' at Tomorrow (A Welfare Song)" - 1983.
How the fu
ck did this prog-rock arrangement show up in a 1983 setlist? Was this recorded in an alternate universe where
Endless Summer
was never released and the band kept on playing shows like it was 1973? Whatever the case, it's a neat arrangement and it really deserves release.
I can't believe in this Lookin' at Tomorrow version. What the hell. 1983. 1983.
