Do you think Brian hires non-musicians to give him underserved compliments in his every day life? Like when Brian goes to the store some hired guy says: "Cucumber, great choice Brian!" or "Nice, Brian! That's where you place the shopping cart once you are done shopping!".
...

 LOL 

Everyone should have a person like that around them!

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I would say that's the best anyone has sung WIBN in the past 30 years since Al was in his vocal prime.  I know that's a pain and he would probably rather not have to do it, but Al just nails that.  I love Carl and technically he was good, but he never sounded "right "on that song. Neither have the others who have sung it. That song needs a certain youthful "whine" to the vocal that only a younger Brian and Al can truly pull off.

You guys making fun of the poster who's primary language isn't English - that's really gettin' down, man. Give him a break!

That said, Brian should loose that "clap"/don't clap" routine on Good Vibrations. Personal opinion: I don't think it's funny or cute. If anything, he should bring back the extended "Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin with her" with the crowd singing. Now the girls! Now the boys! That kinda deal. Good to see he doesn't do the cigarette liter joke or "Michael Row The Boat Ashore" anymore. Or worse yet....."I'm A Little Teapot".  Roll Eyes

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!!

Good for you , Mikie; coming to the defense of some negative spouting guy that can't be bothered to learn enough of the language to convince us that Brian isn't young anymore.
 Brian sounded GREAT!!!

I'm with you Mikie on the language and courtesy.

I think it is adorable that Brian likes to emulate Mike with illustrative hand gestures, the non-uber fan is probably cringing I'm sure but who cares.

Al and the band sound terrific but Brian does not sound good to me. I'm going to write it off as down to the audience hand-held recording and I'm sure he will sound as good as he gets on the sound recording because it looks like a lot of energy in the room.

Felipe is a big fan, Bgas, with 20+ posts (in English) under his belt. He was being subjective. Nothin' wrong with that. Also, he knows two languages - you know one.

Gotta agree with this. I'd like to see him enunciate his words better. We know the words, but some members of the audience tuning into the PBS special may not. He's use to jamming through the songs and reading the teleprompter and not pronouncing some of the words worth a damn. Watch Good Vibrations and especially the words at the end of the verses are rushed and garbled. Otherwise, he projects fine and is lucid.

For what it's worth--which is approximately nothing--I am a lot more understanding of the occasionally awkward flubs of non-native English speakers who are brave enough to post in a secondary language than of the mistakes of native speakers (your/you're, their/there/they're, "definate," for a few prominent examples).

On topic: I thought Al sounded good, surprisingly enough on the higher notes. I thought the medium and lower ones were shakier. For example, in the opening line, I thought "have" was maybe the weakest note, as in "wouldn't it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn't have to wait so long." That sounds flat. In the second line, the "nice" sounds off. Don't get me wrong, overall he sounds great. That's a hard song to sing for most anyone, much less a guy his age. And I can understand those slips, with so much attention (and breath) paid to the tougher notes, sometimes a person can let his guard down on the easier ones.

Anyway, I'm really excited to eventually see and hear more of the show. I'm sure whatever flubs there were barely registered for anyone there, in the excitement of the night. And no doubt they'll be fixed before it airs, anyway. I just hope it ends up a 2-hour show, not a 1-hour one! Full setlist! (Not betting on that.)

I would almost bet money, that YES, at one time in Brain's life (probably around 85 or 86) Brian DID pay somebody to follow him around and compliment him all day Smiley

I enjoy the new song: the refrain in particular sounds really strong to me, very memorable. And I think the intro will translate better on a studio version. It sounded a little lacking live to me. And then "Hold On, Dear Brother?" Oh my. Just stellar, from Reuss straight on down through the whole band. Must have felt good for Ricky and Blondie to hear it done live at that quality for such an appreciative audience.

For those who were there, what was Brian' demeanor through or reaction to HODB? Obviously, it wasn't a song he had any particular involvement in the first time around. Was he into it here, or just kind of there?

Thirded, exceptional performance of a good song, the vocals on the 'I want your love...' sections in particular .

I'm guessing this is the first time this HODB has been played live since about 1974/75?

I don't blame you. One thing, though: didn't Brian say in an interview how Nate's voice reminded him of Carl's? (I don't think I'm making that up.) I didn't see it at the time ... and still don't. It's so sharp, brassy, more like Al's, if anyone's. It's great, though, don't get me wrong. I just don't hear and and think, "Carl!"

Really enjoying the YouTube stuff, especially Al on Wouldn't It Be Nice, and Nate Reuss on all his leads, but who's doing that horrendous falsetto tag on California Girls?

No. That statement is definitely worth something. Good one, Cap. And let me add the continuous mistake of using the non-word "alot" in a sentence.
