Regarding Al on the alternate "Don't Go Near the Water", I think this highlights (as does "Take a Load...") how much Al could sound like Brian.

It sounds like Al to me, but he's either purposefully or just accidentally doing a pretty good Brian impression, not just in tone, but in that weird, kind of stilted child-like Brian talk-sing voice at the very beginning.

Al having such a disdain for the "Take A Load....." is so friggin' weird. I mean, I maybe get the root of where he's coming from in that he and Brian are singing in a slightly higher-pitched tone or something, but the fact that he finds the *performance* problematic but doesn't seem to have any problem with the seemingly goofy/slight nature of the composition/lyrics, well, that's our Al.

While I think the main tone and takeaway from this set is the uplifting, positive nature of the set, and its release, and the music (obviously), and how for once we can briefly side-step all of the politics and interpersonal stuff, I do have to say that folks are *not* wrong for reading the Brian-Murry exchange as one that is *obviously* imbued with the epic drama of their lifelong relationship.

I think even people with overall very good relationships with their parents and other family can relate to those moments when, even well past childhood, a parent is, well, just kind of f**king with you (knowingly or unknowingly), and gaslighting you or patronizing you or being somehow manipulative, or using the relationship history in a not-so-nice fashion to brow-beat a situation or a conversation. The Murry bit here truly *is* cut from the same cloth as the "Rhonda" session. It doesn't mean Murry or Brian actually hate the song. But the whole thing is obviously weighed down by their relationship history. *Of course* Brian's laugh is what it seems to be; it's awkward and clearly exaggerated out of frustration/sarcasm, that seemed to be the only way Brian could vent back at Murry in these types of weird conversations. Much like the "Rhonda" session, Brian's old enough that he kind of bites back a little bit, but he's clearly weighed down by Murry here as well.

Not to over-analyze. But no, that exchange is not an innocuous exchange. Kudos for including it and letting it speak for itself. It's not some huge black moment on the set or anything. But it's a truthful little tiny moment of their relationship on tape.

A question from a streamer to those lucky enough to have the physical release: Hawaiian Dream was written by Brian and produced by Dennis? Is that credit right?

And You Need a Mess to Stand Alone and Marcella are at the end as teasers for an eventual next box, right? According to the research included on the Bellagio site, there's a demo for Marcella from late december 1971, obviously not the vocal tracks we're hearing now.

Greetings all,
While waiting on my sets to arrive, I'm hoping that someone can confirm or deny claims that these sets contain different mixes between them.
I read somewhere back in June that a specific mix of this or that was exclusive to the 2CD set and not the 5 CD set itself, and vise versa. Does anyone else recall this tidbit/news in regards to them?

been listening the last few days and I am loving it! Oh boy they NAILED the Susie Cincinnati mix this time, this is my favorite mix of it by far. Also "Sound of Free" sounds really great, love the harder guitar sounds towards the end. Has anyone else listened to the Marcella acapella like 50 times? Holy heck Mike Love's bass parts on there and the "uh-huh" harmonies on the second verse are amazing. I think I just noticed something... Is that Dennis singing the "one arm, ONE ARM over my shoulder, sandals.. that dance, DANCE at my feet ,etc, Her eyes, THOSE eyes etc"  part on the left speaker second chorus starting around around 1:36??  it sounds like him and it's amazing and I never realized it until now.



Yep, the Marcella acapella track may even be my favourite of the complete boxset. Why was it included though? As a tease for the next release? Same for Mess of Help. I thought both were tracks from 1972 (So Tough era)

Here's what you missed:

"I think my cousin Bri' was more interested in the drugs at that time."

"Til I Die is fantastic. It was Brian's last great song. I wrote Disney Girls because 22-year-olds smoking pot gave me the heebie jeebies."

"We usually ate all the food in Brian's fridge before we recorded. Surf's Up was kind of a drag because there were all these people around Brian's sandbox doing drugs. I kept out of all that! But... I should probably rerecord Take a Load Off Your Feet. Wait, was Vegetables on that album?"

"What? Surf's Up? Oh, yeah, that song was quite an experience. Van Dyke wrote that one in 15 minutes and I thought it was fantastic. Then we did Summer Days and Summer Nights, a real rock and roll type album."

Just a random comment.  

These guys were obviously paying attention in the studio in the years prior to ‘69 and ‘70.  They picked up on the harmony stuff they’d heard/ performed with/from Brian. These vocals are what we will hear when we pass through the gates of heaven!

Absolutely! I may be wrong on this but I seem to remember reading that the vocal arrangements were done by Al, Bruce and Carl if Brian wasn't interested. It's incredible what they were capable of. But also the music tracks.


To anyone with the physical release: Could somebody give me the dates and places for the early 70s live performances?

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.

Tidal has both sets available for streaming:

- San Miguel is 14 seconds shorter in the 2 CD set, it fades out sooner.
- Susie Cincinnati has car engine noises at the beginning in the 2 CD set. These sounds are missing in the 5 CD set.
- I'm Going Your Way starts with 14 seconds of studio chatter in the 5 CD set. This is missing in the 2 CD set.
- Soulful Old Man Sunshine is 13 seconds shorter in the 2 CD set, it fades out sooner.
- All I Wanna Do (A Capella) is 16 seconds shorter in the 2 CD set, it fades out while they are still singing. In the 5 CD set it continues until they stop singing.
- (Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again lasts 4:37 in the 2 CD set versus 6:50 in the 5 CD set.
- Behold The Night has a slightly shorter intro and a slightly shorter ending in the 2 CD set, it's 5 seconds shorter in total.
- All Of My Love/Ecology has a 30 second rehearsal at the beginning which is missing from the 2 CD set. Also, in the 5 CD set the "run run river run" section is twice as long. It's a 50 second difference in total.
- Awake begins with 30 seconds of studio chatter which are missing from the 2 CD set.
- Disney Girls (Live 1982) ends with Al saying "thank you, Bruce" in the 5 CD set. The track fades out before this in the 2 CD set.
- Disney Girls (Backing Vocals Excerpt) is 16 seconds shorter in the 2 CD set, it's missing half the track.

There may be more stuff that I missed.

Hot off the press, my best attempt at figuring out the lyrics for Dennis’s masterpiece Baby Baby.

Baby Baby
Tell me love is real
Baby Baby
Tell me love is true
Baby Baby
Tell me love is real

Shake it like a snake and I’ll give you a wink
Come on pretty baby won’t you do your thing
All I want to do with you is

Baby Baby
Tell me love is true
Baby Baby
Tell me love is true
Baby Baby
Tell me love is true

Baby Baby
Tell me love is true
Baby Baby
Tell me love is true
Baby baby
tell me love is true

Baby
I need you so
Baby baby yeah
Baby
I need you
Baby

My my my now
Come on pretty baby and shake your thing
Come on pretty baby I’ll give you a ring
All I want to do with you

Baby baby
Tell me love is real
Baby baby
Tell me love is true
Baby baby
Tell me love is true

As much as I am an advocate for physical media continuing to exist, and I very much am, it's obvious that the space limitations of physical media came into play here which is unfortunate, but at least they have a longer versions available for streaming which most people easily have access to. It's nobody's fault; a disc in only hold so much content.

And in doing a cursory check I believe all of those lengthened tracks are that way as well on Spotify.

Thank you immensely for this information! But I must ask, if "Student Demonstration Time" was indeed recorded @ Carnegie Hall 11/23/1972, does that mean the tracklist on the back and liner notes are incorrect when they notate the track as (Live 1971)? If so that is quite a surprising error.

Why are Marcella and You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone included?  Weren't they recorded in 1972?
