Hi Adam - quick question...
On part 1 you flashed a pic of the Live in Sacramento album cover, mentioning it contained the unaltered (truly live) versions of the "In Concert" tracks.
Do I have that right? I see that download out there on Amazon and would love to hear the "warts and all" versions. So no post-production on Live in Sacramento?
I've totally enjoyed your Pet Squares videos - great job!!!
Bob
Sort of. My understanding is that it's the "warts and all" recording of both August 1, 1964 shows. A bunch of IN CONCERT came from the earlier show in December 1963 which as far as I know has never been made available in its original form.
I relied heavily on an earlier Pet Sounds post that attempted to piece together what parts are from what shows, and I confess I didn't check that individual's research. I did get my hands on the LIS tracks but I only auditioned a few of them to answer some questions I myself had. If I had to do the video over again I would probably take a closer listen to "Graduation Day" to totally confirm that that *isn't* live, since it's the one song that appears to have live flaws on the vocal track (e.g. the microphone being bumped). But that original poster said the vocals had been replaced and I took his word for it.
