To repeat my post on Endless Harmony:

Was Nelson Bragg looking over John C's shoulder whilst that statement was being typed?

Another one for someone to try :

She’s Leaving Home sung by Beach Boys.
Mind you the “Beatles” version of God Only Knows is not good even though Brian’s Twitter shared it.

Are we sure Totten and Cowsill would have happily moved from M&B to Brian?

Great question and difficult to answer.

Two vocal performances that are really on another level include
Wouldn’t It Be Nice
Breakaway

It is an outtake from the Good Vibrations sessions. The Smile Sessions box had a whole disk (over an hour?) of Good Vibrations outtakes, so a lot to choose from.

Wow that Clayton Opera House show is potentially very reachable for me.
But I'm not fully sure yet.
Have any of Al's shows been selling out? Thinking how long can I hold out without risking missing out.

Not worth of its own thread but AI related:

Chat GPT thinks this is the chords and lyrics to Surf's Up. Bizarre.

Cool info.

And of course Abe Laboriel Jr provides post Smile premiere comments in the Beautiful Dreamer DVD. What a guy.

Cool that Probyn was involved. Of course we would have welcomed seeing more of our heroes also performing (Darian, Scott T...). Interesting to ponder the reasons behind the band being what it was. Noting that there might have been political reasoning, I wonder if something close to the 2012 lineup was considered.

Haven't streamed the show yet but reports from others have certainly aroused my interest.

Do we know anything about the house band for the night?

Answering my own question, it seems the house band included Probyn and the fella from McCartney's band.
Anyone else confirmed?
(not to sound defensive, but surprised no one else is interested in this question)

Who remembers the incident during the What Love Can Do era, which also included a remake of God Only Knows, when promotional video of the new God Only Knows was posted, but apparently tampered with in some way to be part original version, part BW remake, and part assistant studio engineer's brother singing a snippet, or something like that? There was plenty of commotion trying to figure out what on earth was going on before the reveal.

God Only Knows "1966 home demo" is pretty good.

Does the tag use any of the authentic vocal from the released version?

What seltaeb1012002 really should have done, is held off posting anything until April 1, and then on that day introduced the above mentioned "home demo" as a genuine long lost article. It would have been a cruel but interesting experiment and perhaps with a free pass if posting on that day 

Agree it is "only" intriguing and eerie. But wild nonetheless. And the possibility of rapid development certainly adds to the intrigue.
Is anyone suggesting it sounds "just like" Brian?

Wild.

BWPS Heroes & Villains with AI model Brian vocal?
Would it sound more like 1967 released H&V or 1966 cantina vocal?

Although I don't feel quite right saying it, whole BWPS album with AI "vintage" vocals is intriguing.

"Vintage" Brian on Summer's Gone?

Dennis on A Day in the Life of a Tree? Or Brian...

Do we know anything about the house band for the night?

During a BeachBoys Talk interview, Alan Boyd mentioned there's something that was found that would "blow people's minds". It's from Chuck Britz's collection. Whatever it is, I'd hope they are pushing for that to be released some time in the not too distant future.

Maybe it's something Smile-related, in which case they could release it with stereo mixes of Smile.

Sounds tantalizingly similar Adam Marsland's report of what turned out to be Wild Honey era Surf's Up.

Netflix's Outer Banks 3 (never head of it) has Sloop John B in its trailer on YouTube. Actually some interesting cutting and mashing of the song. The trailer was suggested to me by the algorithm and I guess I am glad I took the bait.

Does Brian Wilson sing both harmony parts to the first chorus of Sloop John B?

Can someone arrange another interview with Joe Thomas ?

I think I recall the title Metropolis…but I wonder if that eventually came out as half moon bay.

Good Vibrations 30 Anniversary Box?

Late to the party on this one, and sad to read posts from last hear about asking Billy Hinsche about the mystery Carl guitar.
Looking at the headstock, does it not remind anyone of PRS guitars?

Has anyone able to get anything close to a definitive list of unreleased material from the Radio sessions?

Aside from I'd Go Anywhere, I recall mention of a remake of She Believes in Love Again, and didn't Al try to get Waves of Love included?
It seems that there was a little bit of crossover between material considered for Radio that was specifically recorded for Radio, and material that was recorded for other projects and subsequently became or almost became part of Radio...Is it fair to say that Daybreak Over The Ocean is as much a part of the Radio sessions, as such, as Waves of Love?
Was Don't Fight The Sea ever considered?

The David Marks looks more like Pete Townsend

Sail on Sailor is certainly a fine enough title, but I would have liked a title that is lifted from the lyrics of a song like Sunshine Tomorrow.

(you hate them all don't you?  )

A handful of posters on this board have created more Mike Love apologists in the past few years than probably the previous twenty. 

Reverse psychology?

Perhaps this was Mike Love's plan all along.

Is OSD secretly working for Mike Love?

If true, this would be confirmation that there is no depth to which Mike Love will not sink.

This was a joke in case it wasn’t obvious.

Whilst I acknowledge that these latest interview comments appear distasteful and are  unnecessary, I do not feel particularly inclined to engage too deeply with the complex personal dynamic between Mike, Brian and their respective circles.

I’m supposed to be seeing “The Beach Boys” next month. I fear that we are reaching the end of the road so looking forward to it.
