So while reading an ESQ from September of 1999, Matt Jardine was asked about what a fan would expect at a Friends and Family Show and he mentioned a few tunes such as Wild Honey, Til I Die, Surf's Up, and Be Here in the Morning. I know Mike/Bruce's band has done WH and Til I die, and Brian's band has obviously done those two plus Surf's Up, but did Al's Friends and Family Band perform Til I Die, Surfs Up, or Be Here in the Morning? I'm fairly certain they did Wild Honey on the Live in Las Vegas concert album. I know Eric's setlist site has some of the setlists for Al's shows, but has anyone else experienced any of Al's shows? What type of rare/deep album tracks did Al's group performed live? I know of the ones on the Las Vegas Live album, but did he expand upon that at any point? It'd be great if he performed stuff from his Postcard album, (like do a whole California Saga medley with Lookin down the Coast, Don't Fight the Sea, California Feeling, and maybe the Tidepool Interlude.)

Perhaps I asked in the wrong thread (the Fire Hats thread), but I'm still curious if Andrew or anyone else could lead me to what I was asking here:

Not a "Fire" session because...
Too early and...
Wrong studio.
Although...
When I interviewed Chuck Britz back in 1985 at Western, he related a session for Fire that he engineered there. Another mystery...
Along with all your research (on the fantastic Bellagio site) and the book you did with Tobler...what's the outlet of this and other interviews you've done over the years? (Perhaps write another book? 😉) I would LOVE to read all those interviews and what not...and speaking of reading something of yours, I'd love to read other observations in your experience over the years of meeting beach boys/various related folk, attending concerts and beach boys conventions..it would provide a unique point if view for this young beach boys fan. There's so much I'd love to hear about that you've experienced.

I've been watching a lot of the tributes in conjunction with Sesame Street's 45th Anniversary and one of the show's longtime stars Bob McGrath reminds me a lot of Bruce Johnston, both in singing voice and in demeanor. I then wondered if the Beach Boys ever made an appearance on Sesame Street and it looks like they never have. It seems like they'd be a perfect fit, especially considering the Muppets have performed Beach Boys songs in the past. It's not too late to have Brian Wilson interacting with Muppets on Sesame Street, I personally would love to see that.

I'd love to visit the alternate universe where Brian was a guest host on The Muppet Show in 1977. I'm imagining he performed Ding Dang (duet with Animal) and Solar System.

At his "Postcard" release party at the Roxy in 2012, the setlist included "Lookin' At Tomorrow", "California Saga", "Wild Honey" (sung by Matt) and, of course, "Postcard From California" and "Don't Fight The Sea". Less rare, but still not your common jukebox fare, "I Can Hear Music", "You're So Good To Me", "Honkin' Down The Highway", and "Sail On, Sailor". IIRC, Billy & Bobby alternated the lead on that one, quite flawlessly.

Any chance that will ever get recorded, or that at least more information will ever come out about it?
Also, I think someone mentioned at some point on here that "A Thing or Two" was (or was at least rumored) to be intended for Redwood. Anyone know if there was ever any Redwood recording of that? Admittedly, the one that we hear on
Wild Honey
sounds a lot more like the rest of the album, production-wise, than "Darlin'" does.

While hanging out on the Bellagio site, I was checking out the timeline and noticed the sessions for Wild Honey (single), Bluebirds Over the Mountain, and Aren't You Glad were took place (9/26/67 through 10/4/67), then Brian's sessions with Redwood for Time To Get Alone took place. So a few questions just about these facts from Andrew's site:
-I know Brian has credit for writing WH and AYG, but how involved was he with the production? I was thinking the credits were "produced by the BB" for the album.
-Did the Bluebirds from 1967 sound like the single/20/20 track we know now or did it have a Wild Honey type song? Though I figure Bruce produced it, it may not have been in that same style.
-During the Redwood sessions (10/14 & 10/15), TTGA was recorded, but was this when they recorded Darlin' or at least the track for Darlin'? I was thinking they might have did the instrumentation. I know I read about all of this years ago, but I can't remember what the source was.
-I wonder what Brian's inspiration for Time to Get Along was? It's not as much in the style of the R&B style as the Wild Honey album was. I feel like TTGA has a Smile-like production quality to it, especially Brian's early version with the horn section.

A few "My Diane" questions...
1) Was Brian Wilson involved in the revamping of "My Diane" in 1977?
2) On the demo version floating around, Dennis' vocal is single tracked. Did he recut the vocals in '77, or was there always a double tracked vocal on the original multitrack?
If there's one thing I'd love to hear on a future BB's rarities set, it would be a high quality version of the original demo (original vocal reverb intact!)

"Time To Get Along" would be a great title for a final Beach Boys album.
Hey, I didn't know a version of "Bluebirds" was recorded for Wild Honey - is this a new information or did I miss that for a long time?

According to AGD's site there are two sessions for Bluebirds: 29/09/67 and 16/10/68. As 20/20 seems to be an album of 'stuff in the can' I wonder if they're the same recording rather than 16/10/68 being a remake?

Hello ? No one here bothered to read the footnote to the 9/29/67 entry ?
"A Bruce Johnston session"
That means...
not
a Beach Boys session. Bruce offered it to the band when they were looking for material on
20/20
.

Yes I read that and I thought it was obviously implied in my post about 20/20 being an odds and sods kind of album.

Is this really from 1964? And how can I tell an original from the recent reissue? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

looks original to me..... I have a couple of copies of it, but not handy to check..... but seems to tick all the boxes..
one thing to check is on the back bottom right hand corner where the RIAA logo is shown....the fact that it has that is good...
also, the number 6 there indicates which plant the record was pressed at..... I cant find the link right now, somebody else???,
which tells you exactly where that record was pressed...
the shrink and cover look correct, as is the inner sleeve. the cardboard cover seems to appear as it should, as do the minor blemishes in the shrink wrap
..... so visually, without close up pics on other specifics.... this one I would say is good to go!!

I've got an indepth question about a particular thing Brian used to do: using a tape recorder with his voice recordings of "yes, "no," and something else, I can't remember.
My particular questions are:
when was this used? how often?
Who was it used with? Capitol Records folks?
Was it just a one time thing?
My only sources are the eronious BB An American Family tv film (which I don't trust) and one of the BB/BW bios, which might have been Brian's WIBN My Own Story (which I don't trust either).

According to Leaf, Brian turned up to at least one Capitol meeting in the sixties with a collection of some eight tape loops, which included "yes", "no" and "that's a great idea".

That's brilliant!
Imagine when someone finds those tapes and wondering why there's one word answers...then realized it was Brian Wilson, King of One Word Answers...assuming he didn't record over those tapes.
