Rolling Up To Haven is actually 74 (the boot is wrong) and from the Caribu sessions. Jardine told me Brian does not sing on "Loop De Loop" but I swear I hear him.

Brian sang on the "original" demo of LDL that is on the EH doc.

He's  on Feel Flows and Steamboat?! I *knew* it. I had asked AGD about that several years back and he said no, but I insisted...

I don't think he's on Mess of Help,though.

Also, add He Come Down. His vocals are right after the slowed down YES I BELIEVE IT. (He does the low EEEE-EEEE and sounds remarkably like he would in 76; yet his voice was back to normal several months later. Go Fig).

I think Bruce and Mike have both said Brian is on Mess Of Help, and I hear him doing the high part fairly clear. The 1993 box set version is a mix that his his voice up higher. He probably is on bass on He Come Down  Sweet Mountian from Spring has him doing his high voice and his bass, but notice the bass has a touch more control. Desper's book told me about Feel Flows. Brian is clear on the end. Steamboat is fairly obvious that the high part is is him and the bass is Dennis. I love picking Brian out during this era. I hate the stupid myths about him during this time. I have always felt that he was far worse from 76-82 when he was touring. I think he had the abilty up until that point to decide if and when he participated.

I hear him on "Susie Cincinnati" and as far as I know he played the harmonica on it as well.

Can anyone else confirm this?  I'm almost 100% sure that's Al singing, "A children's song, have you listened as they play?  Their song is love and the children know the way."

Yes I reckon that's definitely Al.  Brian is on the soaring 'Ahhhh....' right at the top.

The Brian vocal you're referring to is from his 1967 solo piano performance.  I'm wondering what NEW vocals Brian contributed to the 1971 version of the song.

Hard Times (aka Rolling Up To Heaven) is a Ding Dang clone with minor differences. A lot more fun actually as its R Rated.

As far as the 71 vocals on Surfs Up, I tend to think Desper is right but Al and Brian sounded so much like each other from 68-74 I cannot be certain. I think it Brian because of the phrasing at the end of each line.

Any chance someone who knows Al Jardine can ask him and confirm one way or the other?

Brian is unmistakably on the choruses of Deirdre: "Good things turn bad, but it's over now, so don't be sad 'cause you're older now," etc.  It gives me chills to hear his voice in there, somewhat buried.

I think those are the lines he wrote. If so he deserves credit for more then the 5% Bruce accredits him. At least a quarter of it would be his.

Al seems to lessen the work Brian did in the late 60s. He said he sang lead on "Be Here In The Morning" because Brian refused to sing high anymore. We know that is not true. Granted he did praise Brian's work on Friends, but his comments on songs like "Break Away" don't sit well with me. He is entitled to his own viewpoint but when something is fuzzy, it's good to get a number of different opinions. I mean the one time I talked to Brian I asked him about "Be Here" and he had rather specific comments about singing the lead. Desper has said both sang the lead. Since both men remember doing the lead I have to say Desper's memories (just like on Surf's Up) are probably more measured.
