Good Timin’ w/ Dennis on lead?

[c-man]

Folks, there IS a high quality line recording of Dennis singing the lead on "Good Timin'", as described above (with Audree in the audience).  I believe that is from the REHEARSAL for "Midnight Special", but as Jon stated, they did NOT perform it on the actual show (trust me, I watched the original airing and taped it on VCR, and replayed it numerous times over the next several years).  I did read somewhere (probably the Add Some Music fanzine) that "Good Timin'" was rehearsed, but not performed on the show.  And yes, Dennis sang the lead at Radio City Music Hall, but Mike took over for the Easter Seals Telethon, probably b/c Dennis was a no-show.  STILL can't understand while Carl wouldn't sing it! 

And is there actually a version with BRIAN singing lead on "Good Timin'" (other than this solo shows of the past ten years)?  If so, WHERE and WHEN was THAT??

[Mikie]

Thank you.  I was waiting for somebody to call me a liar.

I, too, taped the original Midnight Special with The Boys back in 1979 on my old RCA VHS recorder, so I know which songs were broadcast that night.

[Jon Stebbins]

So then then we all agree that the premise of this thread about "seeing" Dennis sing Good Timin' on You Tube...or in a documentary ...or on Midnight Special was in error? I'm glad.

[bgas]

No video has ever surfaced of Dennis singing Good Timin'.

You said that already.

Would you two quit bumping heads on this?
Mikie, just send him a copy of your video and be done with it.

Problem is, all I have is an audio clip - no video. I never argued the video point because I know what's out there, complete with dates and locations.

Now, anybody wanna see my video from the 70's of Dennis singing the lead to "Help Me Rhonda"? Or the other one (for the ladies) from 1974 of Dennis streaking across the stage? Or the one of him telling the Nixon joke?

[Bicyclerider]

Songs that aired on the BB's ONLY performance on the Midnight Special in 1979...Good Vibrations, Here Comes The Night, Surfin USA, Angel Come Home, Lady Lynda and R&R Music. If Good Timin' was performed it was either in rehearsal, soundcheck, or was cut from the orig. TV airing. No video has ever surfaced of Dennis singing Good Timin'. Thanks.

But didn't Dennis sing this on Midnight Special in 1979?   

[bgas]

can you post the one of him telling the Nixon joke here?

[Mikie]

Sure, if the Admins agree not to kick me off the board.  It's a family board, from what I hear......

[Andrew G. Doe]

It's only dirty if you think about it. 

[bgas]

It's only dirty if you think about it. 

OK, then.
This shouldn't be hard for most everybody on here: 
Promise not to think, so we can hear the joke..... 

[Jay]

After Dennis told the joke in Hartford in 1973, Mike said "that joke left a bad taste in my mouth".

Manson family, maybe. ^_^

And is there actually a version with BRIAN singing lead on "Good Timin'" (other than this solo shows of the past ten years)?

Was one on You Tube, but it got yanked.

OK, so when and where was that recorded?

Midnight Special – April 27, 1979

This is a taping session for the TV show. At the beginning of the song Dennis says, “Hi Mom”. Then Al says, “He’s serious, she’s really out there. Audree’s out there – she is!” Dennis sings lead on "Good Timin’" then says, “Carl & Brian wrote that song. Carl was suppose to sing it but……he chickened out folks”.

Beach Boys Concerts - Radio City Music Hall - March 1-4, 1979

Dennis sang lead on "Good Timin'" during these shows. Bootleg recordings exist of the March 1 and March 3 shows.

Sorry bro, but you are wrong on this. I was listening to this recording last night with those comments from Al and Dennis toward Carl. It is from Radio City and it is soundboard

I wanna hear the Nixon joke!!! 

"I am not a crook! Aroooooh! Manson's guilty! I'LL GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSE'S AT NIGHT AND WRECK UP THE PLACE! AROOOOOOOH!!"

I thought I had a board recording of Radio City Music Hall '79 somewhere in my piles of tapes and discs...not gonna sift now. Hey Ed Roach...you were there...give us some insight.

I think 80 or 81...? If it was the latter, probably did it because Carl was gone.

[Mikie]

I looked through my audio stuff, and the 1979 shows I have don't include "Good Timin'" sung by Dennis. I've had this recording of Dennis (with Al & Carl with Audree in the audience) on a Dennis Wilson comp since the early 80's. If this is indeed from the Radio City concerts in March, 1979, it's one of the best damn sounding soundboard recordings I've ever heard on a bootleg. If this entire concert exists in this quality, it should be released!

Also, if it's proven that this is from Radio City Music Hall in New York and not recorded with the other Midnight Special songs, I will sit corrected.

Dumb Angels Vol. 14 track #11. Never seen a video for it though.

Maybe Nixon learned how to record from Brian and the " lost " SMiLE tapes ?

Dennis told a joke during the Beach Boys concert on August 24, 1973 at Dillon Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut. Dennis was very vocal that day, standing up front on the stage, interacting a lot with the crowd and generally having a good time. Jack Reilly introduced the band at the beginning of the show.

Richard Nixon was President of the United States at the time. Henry Kissinger was the Secretary of State. Tricia Nixon was Nixon’s daughter.

Dennis: "Hey, I’m tellin’ a joke! He (Nixon) was walking on the beach by his San Clemente home and he was walking and looking down at the sand going, “Ah poo, what next?" Ya know, and he looks and it said in the sand…..somebody urinated in the sand and it said, “Richard Nixon is a Prick”. And he was outraged; he called all his aids, called the FBI, the CIA, he called everybody in. He said, “I want a urine analysis.” (Dennis interrupts the joke with “Are you listening?”, and the crowd responded with, “Yeeeeeeeees!”). Awright. And I want a handwriting analysis within two days! So….two days later his big aide comes up and he says, “Sir, I have some very bad news to tell you." He said, “The urine analysis….it’s.…well.…it’s Dr. Kissinger’s urine. But the bad thing is…..it’s in Tricia’s handwriting”.

Huh huh huh huh huh.       Huh.

So, OK. There's the urine in the sand, but what does that have to do with handwriting?
