Remember...

[Andrew G. Doe]

... the story of Dennis hiring an orchestra to serenade Christine on her birthday ?

This you will not believe...

Seems some BBs associates have been trawling through their own archives in recent months.

Could this all be a result of BRI or Capitol conducting a major trawl for a wonderful 50th anniversary package?

We've had the Olympia footage, the BBs in Paris, now this from Carli Munoz*...

Just suppose these are the rejected clips?!?!

I'm guessing Ed Roach might be able to confirm or deny whether such a trawl has taken place?

I'm hoping the actual serenading by Dennis was also filmed!  You can hear a voice that I'm sure is DW calling "slower" and singing along at one point.

Carli deserves a medal – nae, a knighthood – for sharing this. It's one of the highlights of recent years as a BBs fan!

Yeah thanks for these links AGD. Is that Dennis saying "That's enough" at the end then?

Yes, and "slower" too... and if you crank the volume way up, you can just hear DW singing along in the middle.

Now, there's a thought - what if he's got footage of the actual performance ? 

[D409]

That's incredible ! Hope there is footage of the actual performance, but didn't Christine get sent the bill for this ? (in error of course !)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo... would Dennis do that to his beloved ?

That was for the heart-shaped flower bed. 

[The Shift]

Incidentally, I've found the sound quality on this piece to be superb. If the performance was indeed filmed, we'd have a darn-near studio quality recording of Dennis performing one of his finest compositions.   

Oooh, the excitement!

[Steve Mayo]

thanks for the links andrew.....nice additions to the rebuilding of a collection...

The heart-shaped flower bed...of course...I knew the story sounded familiar !

[Rocker]

Very beautiful. This was probably one of the last times, Dennis ha something like a project where he could bring in his creativity, right ?

Excellent question, but keep in mind Carli uploaded this clip over a year ago, as opposed to the Olympia & Paris footage which just seemed to pop up last month.

[The Shift]

Agree. But I doubt that the search would have started this year...

and if it hasn't started yet, then material like this might imply that someone's missing the boat!  


Add:   Also note how relatively active Mike, Brian and Al (or their representatives on Earth) are on Facebook at the mo'.  They don't really need to be ...

I missed the olympia/paris footage. Could anyone please point me in the right direction?!

Many thanks ...

I doubt Capitol's planning a damn thing.

Now, why would somebody professionally film the rehearsal, but not the actual performance?  Somebody needs to contact Mr. Munoz to see if he has the actual performance.

Now, all I need is to hear the POB tour rehearsal tapes with Carl and I can die a happy man.

I doubt Capitol's planning something great. We'll have a new compilation with 3 or 4 new stereo mixes, probably.

Mr. Positivity!

...not to mention the newly found extended introduction to "Pom Pom Playgirl"!

[Loaf]

I'm going to wake up in a minute and start a thread on here about how I had a great dream that a 5-CD & 5-DVD box set was being prepared of entirely unreleased tracks, gigs, mixes and videos.

I actually had that dream... and it included the finished version of SMilE! with the never before heard song, Ebb and Flow....

[The Shift]

What keeps playing with my mind is that we've been lusting for various live sets, SMiLE sessions and other stuff like WINBNTLA, stuff we knew was in the vaults that we'd like to hear.

But what if someone was to play a blinder here and come up with a box of phenomenal stuff we had no idea was out there?  Imagine a package of stuff of the unimagined richness of the video that Carli put up on YouTube, and perhaps even better?

Say, a pro-shot vid of the entire BBs gig on Hawaii in '67?  In-depth footage of Brian in the studio recording Good Vibes? Of Dennis Wilson showing Billy Preston a few chords and contributing the lyrics to You Are So Beautiful?  Audio of Van Dyke Parks being asked to explain "over and over..."  Clips of Brian spilling a drink over a girl in the audience back in the early 60s, then asking her out...

I just like it when something happens that makes you feel anything could be possible!

Complete with sleigh bells and the first Proud Mary riff, proving that BRIAN actually wrote the song! ;-)

[shelter]

So unreleased Beach Boys songs that had been on YouTube for ages have been taken down, unreleased songs turn up with a better sound quality than on any bootleg, and BB associates are en masse going through their archives. And this all is happening almost simultaneously. Interesting.
