Maybe my favorite album from the late 60s era. Time To Get Alone is worth the price of admission alone
>>74534790
It came out in '69
>>74535064
Neat. Do you know what show that was?
>>74535685
There are a few songs that a friend showed me by other bands in the 60s that basically stole melodies from the Beach Boys songs already. One was almost a direct copy of Heroes and Villains, retitled something else w/ different lyrics and there are some others, but idr their names
>>74537131
I always thought Summer Days was pretty well known, maybe a bit overrated imo (some great songs though - girl don't tell me, let him run wild, etc). All Summer Long is really great and worth a listen
>>74553238
Thank you for answering my thing on 20/20.
Does someone know why on a lot of live recordings you can barely hear Al's guitar? I find it very strange, or is it just buried way down in the mix?
yeah all summer long is great too. I found some cool Brian interviews

Either you don't know how greentexting works or you can't read. I was defending Pet Sounds from morons who think that OK computer is the end-all be-all of music

Incredible idea for gaslighting, sonny! Sorry about Cornell and Bennington!

This is probably my favorite American Spring song

>>74553979
Nice stuff man. Thanks for the share
>>74554233
Ah, cool. Thanks.
>>74555994
Mike's daughter is a qt. Is she still performing with California Saga?
>>74556748
>Nice stuff man. Thanks for the share
I love how driven Brian was in those days. He was immensely talented, ambitious, and lucky to have gotten so far
I like that song, I really need to look into more of their stuff. If you are into american spring you might like this interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20l4v2ihN5M
If I had money I would have bid on this in a heartbeat, assuming it's legit
http://www.gottahaverockandroll.com/beach_boys_brian_wilson__i_get_around__handwritten-lot18765.aspx
>>74557103
That whole LP is full of great stuff.
Yeah, I've heard that interview before, it's nice. I know people think Brian was on coke during it (but then they say that about pretty much every interview from this period where he's lucid).
Love Marilyn and Diane's voices
This beats the Beach Boys version imo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuWp4UMJzCk
Their Good Time is pretty good too
And of course Sweet Mountain, Flowers Come in the Spring, and a really cool version of Tennessee Waltz
The Dennis version of Flowers Come in the Spring is pretty interesting (called Fallin'). I believe he wrote it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKOItN0JiSc
This song Brian wrote about Marilyn from 76/77 is pretty cute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSpXaR9YgUg
The synth on Love You is killing me.
>>74557220
>This song Brian wrote about Marilyn from 76/77 is pretty cute
Ha. I was just coming to this thread to post that as an example of one of my favorite unofficially released/bootlegged BB songs. May the UK copyright laws never change because, that (hopefully) eventual Love You reissue is one of the reissues/expansions from The Beach Boys I'm looking forward to the most.
Like I'm sure pretty much nearly all the reissues that they will hopefully do will have something neat & new/better to our ears to here but, without a doubt the reissues/expanded editions I'm looking forward to the most are Friends, Sunflower, and Love You.
>>74557220
That sounds great. I can't believe I've never really listened to any BW productions that weren't the beach boys. I only just found Guess I'm Dumb after glen campbell died.
>>74557376
It's great, really all of the "California Feeling" album/bootleg is among my favorite material from their entire catalog. I would KILL for a Love You release with the extra 76 era material or even better a proper Adult/Child + California Feeling release... not to mention the Bedroom Tapes. It's crazy how much incredible material was passed on and never released in favor of lesser tracks that made up their later albums. I really thought there'd be some Love You 40th release last year but I guess not. 2026 I guess?
>>74557470
>I really thought there'd be some Love You 40th release last year
I would love that or even some sort of Brian Wilson Loves You tour that some people thought might happen but, I think the thing to remember is these reissues mainly happen because of some law in the UK that is something along the lines of "unreleased material older than 50 years becomes public domain in the United Kingdom" so yeah, would be pleasant surprise to see a 76/Love You collection sooner than we thought but, if not that, as long as the UK copyright laws continue to hopefully be what we are there's pretty much no doubt we'll get one in/by 2026.
What era/year is My Solution from? That's one I'm really surprised didn't make it to Made in California.
>>74557470
Do you have the Rarities bootleg and Get the Boot? I can hook you up with some mega links
ITT
>>74557470
I just don't think there's enough public interest for any of the less commercial stuff. Maybe we can get a 50th with some bedroom tapes, but it seems unlikely while Brian is still alive
>>74557679
I love that The Beach Boys are seen as elitist fedora tippers' music that's great
Does anybody know where I can find the complete Unsurpassed masters bootlegs? I'm missing a couple volumes sadly
>>74557679
so you're the one who made this thread right?
>>74557720
>will be 59 when that Summer in Paradise 50th expansion comes out
HEY NOW
>>74557642
Not really sure what year My Solution is from, I would guess late 60s/early-mid 70s but I'm really not sure. Yeah, while MIC was great, there's still a lot of stuff they didn't include
>>74557678
I used to have them but my HDD with most of my music failed recently. I would appreciate it.
>>74557697
Yeah, that's a shame. Brian and his band (inc. Al and Blondie) did play Honkin' Down the Highway last year from Love You but yeah, I couldn't see there being enough interest for a tour playing the entire album. What I really can't believe was that they passed on a Smiley Smile/Wild Honey 50th tour in favor of yet another Pet Sounds tour (yawn), while I did see them again this year, it wasn't quite as good as last year imo. I would like to see Mike and Bruce if they came as I hear they're doing some Wild Honey related set.
