Exclusive Videos on Brian's Instagram

[jackjachman]

Something I've noticed lately is the use of Brian's instagram channel as a cool way to let people hear a lot of stuff from his ever-growing archive of recordings, including full songs, recording snippets, and interviews. This is exactly what an account like this should do, post some famous and obscure pictures of a music icon while also giving people a reason to follow it for access to material not available anywhere else, also making it a better place to hear rare Beach Boys cuts than the actual Beach Boys page. I'm an absolute sucker for this kind of stuff, and even though instagram has a 1 minute cap on videos, you can find some pretty great stuff there. https://www.instagram.com/brianwilsonlive/

Some brief highlights: the latest has been the first two tracks from Brian's transcendental and beautifully haunting vocal melody of "Don't Talk" that was on the '96 and '16 box set, apparently recorded so Brian could play it to the musicians to give them an idea of how the instrumentation should sound. It's one of my favorite Brian recordings ever, and I don't believe the individual tracks of this have ever been released, or maybe even booted? Definitely shows just how much raw material still exists in the vaults, much of it still worth releasing (i.e. all vocal and instrumental tracks for songs should be released on a website somewhere for all to enjoy).

Covering Barenaked Ladies' "Brian Wilson" at a soundcheck: https://www.instagram.com/p/Blg6meSjw0Y/?taken-by=brianwilsonlive

A notably clear recording of "I'll Bet He's Nice" from the Love You demos that Brian played for the band in '76, maybe the most prominent bootlegged song that the account has posted, I sincerely hope this means that these recordings will officially see the light of the day sometime soon https://www.instagram.com/p/BjGQXNxgbDk/?taken-by=brianwilsonlive


Much more to find on there, so browse away and enjoy.

I remember there are also demos of Airplane, Mona and even They're Marching Along (the original version of Little Children on BW88). I was quite excited at the thought of these songs supposedly being released soon (that was three months ago). People said they didn't necessarily mean their future release, and although I'm kinda convinced, it'd be nevertheless really cool to have a collection of BW rarities, such as so-called Bedroom Tapes.

I compiled all 8 of the vocal tracks posted by Brian's instagram account into one video. Hoping a lot more cool little posts like this come in the future, his archive is practically begging for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBDrXMWoRpw

You're welcome! And to follow that up, some brief bits of Love You piano demos that Brian's page has posted in noticably better quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDQlxEX8qN0

The Don't Talk track is the essentially the same thing that's on the SOT bootleg, Pet Sounds Vol. 2 Disc 3 Track 18-19, the only difference that those are presented in a stereo mix.  I'm not saying that Brian's people wouldn't have access to the "real" thing, but it also wouldn't surprise me if that bootleg were the source for whoever is compiling these videos.
