Is this supposed to be a song played at said show? I was there at the Frankfurt Smile concert and I didn't take notice of any song (safe for the Smile set) I hadn't heard before.

I've got that boot. Really nice packaging. The track entitled "Julia" is actually "Sail On Sailor". Brian dedicates it to Probyn Gregory's friend Julia, hence the title.

Score one for the bootleggers!

"Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you Julia"....before c-man said it was actually "Sail On, Sailor", I thought maybe Brian covered the Beatles' song.

Thanks! Is that the boot with Brian as some sort of Teletubby, surfing valiantly nevertheless, as the cover?

It has a caricature of Brian surfing.
Beautiful digipack package, btw.

Other songs included are: Come to Hawaii, Little Girl, Get Around.

Tks. In the meantime I got an option to purchase it. Should I?

I wouldn't spend more than $50 on it. But that's me. Soundwise, the live tracks are pretty good but definitely not great. There are some kinda cool artificially-done stereo mixes of a few authentic '60s SMiLE tracks on there, in excellent quality. That and the packaging are the main draws. The caricature of Brian is great.
