The *official* Brian/BB picture thread

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Isn't that the very same picture of Brian that was added to the group shot on the back cover of So Tough?

I thought it was a different one. That one had the Beach Boys lined up standing, Brian added to the shot on the left hand side.

You can see Brian's right arm in this one. Doesn't look that fake to me, if at all.

Are these pictures from 1973?

Yes they are.

Call me crazy but there is something odd about that third photo..

You mean the headless person to Brian's right?
Brian looks like modern-day Brian in that first photo. Something about the facial expression.

No the headphones... Think about it

What's different about the headphones from 2 to 3?  (The look the same to me, tho the wires show better in 3)

Just checked the CATP gatefold pic and the resemblance is uncanny.

Is Brian drinking Hamm's ?

That does very much look like a Hamm's can.

[Slow In Brain]

Is Brian drinking Hamm's ?

Not sure but it looks like Al has already downed a few

Looks a bit more like the wacky tobacky to me, but what do I know, I don't drink.

If you mean Billy Hinsche, sure doesn't look like him, circa 1973.

[Mikie]

It's not Elmo Peeler on keys. Snot Hinsche, Daryl, Ricky, or Bruce (obviously). Not Carli Munoz.........

It looks like Terry Kath!  But Kath didn't join them on stage until a year later (plus he played guitar) - same with Guercio so it couldn't be him.......

Who the hell is it?

My favorite era of Beach Boys fandom, hands down.

[Mikie]

You know, I definitely see Billy Hinsche in one of the pictures of the outdoor shows there (Oakland '74?) so I think it just might be Billy in that other picture. Maybe.

You got the show, per the portfolio description on the site: 
>>Taken at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium in 1973. Blondie Champlin was with the band for several months. Beach Boy photo collectors know how rare his image is to find with the group. The outdoor onstage images are from Oalkand 1974 Day on the Gree...<< ( I guess the .. should be an n, as it doesn't continue anywhere I can find)

Brian really had the grunge look down in the 1970s.

[Mikie]

Yep, I was at that Oakland show June '74 and Hinsche was on keys.

Now for the other shots. Was also at that show in Sacramento (and Winterland) in November, '73.  Don't remember who was on keys!  Billy?

Yep superb photos , the guy on keys looks very much like Bobby Lamm from Chicago

[Mikie]

Well, Rob, it's more likely Bob Lamm than Kath 'cause Lamm plays keys in Chicago. Was Carl working with Lamm in 1973? Maybe so, but I thought Chicago got together with The Boys in '74.....
