I Can Hear Music (live) - MIC

[Dave Modny]

Interesting that we now get an honest-to-goodness Beach Boys track from The Beachago Tour. Obviously, this 6-27-75 performance in Largo, MD is from the same set of shows that produced the (somewhat mix/fidelity-challenged) Chicago Live in '75 Rhino set a few years back (though, FWIW, those tracks are stated as being recorded from the 6/24-6/26 shows).

Thus, I guess the multis from this set of professionally recorded shows still exist for the full BB's sets (hopefully complete and intact, that is), and it's only the earlier-recorded shows on the tour where the "half-the-tracks-of-multis" problem exists?

Really would be great to get a full release of both groups' sets -- as well as the combined one -- at some point. At the very least, more of the BBs stuff from those shows.

Wishful thinking.

in our book The Beach Boys In Concert, Jon and I discussed this. For a long time the bb tracks were missing but brother now has them. But the encores are still missing

Thanks, Ian! I actually have the new book.

Serves me right for not looking...lol!

I found this clip where there's a little bit of the Beach Boys singing "Feelin' Stronger Everyday" with Chicago and Jim Guercio.  Damn, I'd love to hear a full recording of that.

I never knew that Guercio would play onstage with the group.

I don't think he ever toured with Chicago, but he did play Bass for a while after Blondie left, as well as manage both groups.

Just clarifying again that Blondie's departure had nothing to do with the band's bass position.  Blondie did sometimes play bass but he was by no means "the bass player".  From what I've heard, Ed Carter just moved from bass to lead guitar when Guercio started playing in the backing band.

There is an audience recording of the 14 June 1975 Madison Square show where Dennis sings a superb You Are So Beautiful with Bobby Lamm - the best of all versions in my opinion.
I presume this was an encore and thus is missing from the multis.

I still long to hear a pristine version of this song with Dennis in good voice - as he still was in 75.

I would dearly love to see a whole '75 Beachago show released -- DVD and CDs!

About I can hear music: Is the version on MIC slowed down or did they actually play the song in a different key (it's in B here, they normally played it in C live)?

I was there for those shows, I think I hear myself clapping!

Hi Christoph,

I don't know if is this any help to your question, but...

The only audience tape I have from that summer of '75 era where ICHM was played is the Wembley show from a week before the Landover series of gigs (i.e. one of which the box set version originates from). However, that Wembley audience tape plays waayyy too fast to begin with - not to mention being in virtually unlistenable quality (probably a consumer recorder of the era running at the wrong speed, and/or multiple analog generations in there to compound things even worse). Thus, that one is pitched and tempoed too fast for any useful frame of reference.

However, I also have several audience shows from the fall '74 tour, and where ICHM was also played, and the key does seem to roughly match the box set version. Again, taking any slight analog consumer taping speed variations into account. The Boston Gardens show probably being the best example (and most listenable).

So, my wager would be that the box set version is in the same/correct key that they performed it during that era...with no slow-down.


Hope this helps a little.

My first BB concert was in November, 1974 (Burlington, VT) & they opened with ICHM. The (college) crowd was making so much noise that I bet  they were halfway through the song before I recognized it.
