Songs that you prefer Live to the Studio Version

What are the songs that you think the BB's have done better live than in the studio? I'd say Marcella, Let the Wind Blow, Aren't You Glad, Darlin', Wouldn't it be Nice and You Still Believe In Me. What do you think?

Let The Wind Blow is the ultimate example - Not a Mike hater, but anyone who prefers his vocal to Carl's on that is crazy

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

really?
Wouldn't it be Nice?!?!?
This is my fav song of all times, but that studio track? the guy's perfect vocals? How could a live performance compete? what era are you preferring? the ones without Brian, how?

During the early 70's. For some reason i think Al Jardine's voice suits the song better than Brian's maybe i'm just crazy.

I don't by any means consider them superior, but I really dig the Hawaii rehearsal versions of Good Vibrations and Surfer Girl, as well as the subsequent Wally Heider version of God Only Knows...there really is a whole lot of passion in those versions. Kind of like a feeling of innocence lost.

i've always been a fan of Darlin' performed at Knebworth, it's really fast, but I enjoy that.

It's not really better, but just different, I like the rocking version of "Heroes and Villains" on In Concert. Al & Carl do a great job on the vocals.

and You Still Believe In Me. What do you think?
It is my favorite Live Beach Boys song....really well done on
In Concert
. But I don't find it better than the studio version.
I think Do It Again live is FAR better than the studio version.

"Darlin'" is better than it's studio counterpart, at least until 1980. I'd also say "Marcella", I much prefer the live take of that to the studio one.

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

This, a bazillion times. The 'Liveness' of the Heider tunes aside, they are insanely beautiful.

I can't think of any, really, aside from "Darlin." As much as I love the Beach Boys live, I've always been more partial to studio versions of songs in general.

Yeah, they're definitely a studio band first and foremost. I honestly think they should have all stopped touring and begun writing individually and collectively more. Alas.
Plus, although I think Carl's vocals are superior in live versions of "Darlin'" what I miss is the awesome phat piano sound that the recorded version (and all of
Wild Honey
obviously) has... it's awesome.

What Brian has done in the past decade with performing rarities live, there's a lot to choose from.
Marcella (I know, not so rare)
Salt Lake City (pretty on par with original)
Pet Sounds (instrumental)
Lay Down Burden (far superior to the studio cut)
YOur Imagination (same thing)
Melt Away (I LOVE hearing Jeff's voice on this)
Please Let Me Wonder (Brian's band of angels once again)
Love and Mercy (All Star Tribute Live with Boys Choir Harlem)
The Night Was So Young
Friends
Keep an Eye on Summer (acoustic live)
Little Girl I Once Knew
Good to My Baby
Busy Doin' Nothin'
Do it Again (love the capella part at the end)

I definitely prefer the live versions of Do It Again and Marcella live over the original.
Always dig the lick on the intro to Do It Again, one of my favorite concert moments!

Their version of 'I Get Around' from the TAMI show kicks the sh*t out of the studio version. One of my favorites!

There's really not much as I miss Brian's voice on most of the prime live tapes. We Got Love was better live, Surfer Girl from the 67 rehearsal and Gettin Hungry from the Hawaii concert come to mind. All I Want To Do On Rarites is better I think. Pappa Omm Mow Mow wasn't as good on Party. Hide Your Love Away and Barbara Ann (with Brian in the sixties) were better live as the Party versions are sloppy.

I know it's regarded as a throwaway track, but Papa Oom Mow Mow from The Lost Concert is just awesome-for a small moment Brian just seems to forget where he is and goes for it.
I really must do myself a live compilation this weekend
Great thread, by the way

Will do-lets just say there is alot of evidence to get through. I'm thinking 15 tracks as 'The Beach Boys' and then 5 or 6 tracks from Brian/Carl solo shows. Any good ideas where to start?
