Really, really, really really bad BB videos

[hypehat]

Well, I hope you're OK now. Did you recieve the appropiate counselling? Are you entitled to legal action? etc, etc 

[Mike's Beard]

Jeez Mike, cover it up please!

[The Madcap]

Jeez Mike, cover it up please!

My thoughts exactly. It's a good thing Brian wasn't there. The sight of Mike dressed like that could have seriously set back all the psychological progress he had made.

All these videos remind me of one of the few good things about having been born in 1992, I didn't have to live through the 1980s.

So the Summer In Paradise "performance" was an actual Beach Boys concert? I've always wondered about the concert scene in that episode of Full House, where the family comes out to sing with the group. Was it an actual show? Was the audience told that part of the concert would be filmed for a tv show?

Actually, that was a great, great gig. Two years earlier in 1991, the band played one of the shoddiest shows I've seen. Turned up, pressed the auto-pilot button, went home. I think the mixer levels were still set to 'stadium'.

1993, I'd primed my then girlfriend, who insisted on coming, that they'd probably be pretty average if not actually bad... and they were outstanding ! Blew me away. About 30 minutes in, she turned to me, smiled sweetly and said "when do they start getting crappy, I wouldn't want to miss that".  

Matt Jardine's falsetto was just incredible.

Played with the obvious attempt to make people hurry up and leave the venue so the janitor could start cleaning.

Had more to do with the fact that the first performance of SIP earlier that evening didn't go smoothly. And as they had the plan to record a live-version, they did another (more successful) attempt at the end of the show.

[Dave in KC]

After so many years of just listening to the CD version, this live version is so different. Thanks for the link. That is one tight band right there.

I found the video of "Summer In Paradise":
http://vimeo.com/2774491

I've never seen that video before. Very cool! Except for the hilariously bad dolphin animation.  When I made my previous comment(wondering if it was a real concert), for some reason I was thinking of the Still Cruisin video. I don't care what anybody says...Summer In Paradise is a really good song.

In the scene where Stamos plays guitar to that women outside, close your eyes and tell me that doesn't sound like a Dennis Wilson song.
