55) Brian Farts Into His Piano: Take 8 Complete!!!

2011-10-20T13:02:00.000-07:00

Seeing as that it won't be included in the boxed set and remains unbooted I decided to share the complete take 8 of "Brian Farts Into His Piano". A very unusual session indeed! It only makes one wonder what takes 1 - 7 sounded like and what Brian's intentions were with this quickly forgotten experiment.....

A request for Jvct. There are several versions of these sessions out there. This one I only have in MP3. If you haven't heard it yet, well you need to. I love these Paley produced songs. So whacky. Highlight: "You're Still A Mystery".

Oh, well, HERE IT IS.

53) Good Vibrations From London TV Special (1972/06/03)

2011-08-18T12:50:00.000-07:00

Sometime early last year a package was sent to me with this cd. The guy had recorded an FM broadcast of this television show on a reel to reel and said it was a significant upgrade of what existed before. When I listened to it, I was blown away. It's a very strange stereo mix you'll have to say!

This recording has not yet circulated so this is the first place to discover it. I did not include the other acts (Sha Na Na, Richie Havens, Melanie and Joe Cocker) as this is a BB blog. Here we go with 3 songs:

01) Do It Again (2:51)
02) Wild Honey (2:42)
03) Help Me Rhonda (3:29)

Total Time = 9:02 but some of the best 9 minutes you'll want to put on any of your 70's BB concert mixes!!!

52) Miscellaneous Unbooted Tracks

2011-08-17T19:12:00.000-07:00

Don't get too excited about this post. I found this on one of my old data dvds but wasn't moved that greatly. Some of it has found its way out on "Winds Of Change". Some are OOPSed songs from Friends album. I added the "hot" mix of "Rock And Roll Music" to make it a little more interesting. Here's the line-up:

01) Amusement Parks USA - Alternate Version (3:04)
02) Darlin' - With Harp Tag (2:56)
03) Match Point Of Our Love - Alt Version #1 (3:22)
04) Match Point Of Our Love - Alt Version #2 (3:21)
05) Meant For You - Backing Track (:39)
06) Mony Mony - Alternate Mix (2:47)
07) Pitter Patter - Alt Version (3:26)
08) Rock And Roll Music - "Hot" Alt Mix (2:57)

LISTEN HERE

I've been wondering about the track "I Don't Know". On January 12th, 1967 Dennis produced a session for a song of his with this title. According to Mr. Badman's research the line-up would have been this:
Bruce Johnston - keyboards
Carol Kaye - bass guitar
Tommy Morgan - harmonica
Bill Pitman - guitar
Lyle Ritz - upright bass
Carl Wilson - guitar
Dennis Wilson - drums
And what I hear on this recording are guitars, bass and drums (sounding much more like Hal Blaine to these ears). No harmonica or upright bass. So what in the hell is this? Is this even a BB production? Well...simply..."I don't know".....

Update: A very wise man had this to say:
OK - "I Don't Know" is the instrumental track to Bruce & Terry's "Dont Run Away", recorded 2/15/1966 at Columbia
... and "New orleans" is actually "New England Waltz", a Love You outtake recorded March 1977.
So there you have it then!

50) The Beach Boys Story (BBC 6)

2011-08-01T17:03:00.001-07:00

I've really been enjoying this radio program that aired in 6 parts in June, 2011. Since I live in the States I never got to hear it until now. Fascinating interviews, interesting insights, etc. Well here it is! Each part is an hour long and is an MP3 (128 kbps) so not too hard on your hard drive:

PART 1: Beach Boards And Buggies
PART 2: On The Crest Of A Wave
PART 3: Pet Sounds
PART 4: SMiLE And Meditation
PART 5: Trying To Change The Label
PART 6: Making Waves

49) Brian Wilson on Howard Stern Show

2011-08-01T13:36:00.001-07:00

Two shows to share with you here. The first is from February, 1989. The notes I got with it say this:

Brian Wilson
1989 02 xx
The Howard Stern Show
WXRK-FM NYC

FM > REEL TO REEL > WAV > FLAC

Brian Wilson stops by the Hollywood Roosevelt
Hotel to talk to Howard Stern during a week of shows
celebrating the Grammy awards.

I'm not a Wilson/Beach Boys fan but I saved this show
just because it was so wacky. (But then it's Brian Wilson
so what else would you expect?) For example:

Stern: You guys live together?
Wilson: No, not in the same house, no - in the same world, yeah.

Enjoy!

This comes in 3 parts:

PART 1
PART 2
PART 3

The second show is from July 24th, 1998 and is in a heavily compressed MP3 format (64 kbps) but it is all I have.

2010-04-01T09:57:00.001-07:00

Make sure to check back on these (1970, 1971, etc.) because shows will be added or upgrades might be found. I don't have all of my collection with me at the moment so I can only share what I have here. If anybody has anything to contribute, please e-mail me and we'll set something up. This is an attempt to share freely what is available for each year. DJole is doing an excellent job on the 60's material so I thought I would take a stab at the 70's.

1971 is only represented by concerts so far but they are all great ones. Grab the FLAC wherever they are available because they are usually from a much better source than the older MP3s. And even when I put the MP3s together I often had more than one source to choose from. One concert here is taken from 3 different sources for the MP3 version although the FLAC version is still far superior and comes from a master reel according to the notes.

So, here is what we have to start with:

38) Summer In Paradise (US and UK Versions)

2010-03-30T10:44:00.000-07:00

Since I have been getting so many requests for this collection of handy drink coasters, I thought I would share them here quickly before my 1971 project. Now you in your own home can do an A/B comparison of both in lossless FLAC!!! By the way, I almost did that once but after I made it through the US version I just simply didn't care about it anymore.

Anyway, I make this offering for historical purposes and for the fact that both of these cds are long out of print therefor hard to find. I'm sorry, I don't have any cover art just the audio files. And for those who are looking for my regular stuff, don't worry. Plenty more on the way.

P.S. If anybody objects to me posting this here, let me know and I will pull the plug immediately. If you notice I usually focus on rare concerts and stay away from commercially released product. However since I don't think they'll be re-issuing any of this anytime in the next 50 years I don't mind it here.

I'm putting up some music this time so everybody can catch up on the DVD's (more to come by the way!). I only have 5 shows from 1970 that I can find in my archives (those of which came with me when I moved across country I should say). And only 2 of them do I have in lossless FLAC. But here they all are along with plenty of bonus studio material from the same year. If anybody is sitting on something not included and would like to share, please contact me and we will set something up.

Fixing the FLAC files, they will be back soon.

These are a bunch of odds and ends from the 1969-1971 era. Some tracks are different in MP3 format than FLAC (due to availability in my collection) so you might want to pick up both sets in order to have all of the tracks.

Thank you so much to my friend Jay for sharing this one with us. Here are his notes:

"Brian is in horrible condition. Dennis yells out 'I love Shawn'. Shawn was Dennis's wife and Mike's daughter!".

No Carl here. Brian sings Carl's songs and his voice is just absolutely awful. Dennis proves himself to be an excellent live drummer. Mike is a terrible dancer.

2010-03-14T14:12:00.000-07:00

I just recently got a 2 disc set called "The Beach Boys Video Biography". The second set is basically the first 8 songs from this televised concert and since they were in AVI format I felt I should share them here. I have the entire show on DVD but this was more readily available and easier to post. Here are the songs:

01) Everyone's In Love With You
02) All This Is That
03) Country Pie
04) Surfer Girl
05) Heroes And Villains
06) Help Me, Rhonda
07) God Only Knows
08) Wouldn't It Be Nice

The missing songs are:

09) I Get Around
10) Rock & Roll Music / Surfin' U.S.A.
11) You Are So Beautiful

Check out Brian on bass during "Heroes And Villains" amongst other songs!

26) Hanszun's Recording Of Brian In Holland 1972

2009-12-23T11:37:00.000-08:00

A very well respected BB authority claims that this recording is in fact Al Jardine. But the owner of the original tape has this to say about it:

"will you tell mikey, thanks and everybody else it was brian, it was on my own recorder. marilyn and i became friends during that time, my wife baked bread for both brian and dennis
and his family, and brian and marylin even came to my house in amsterdam, where i gave him some albums by the dutch group Supersister which he liked apparently."

Also:

"When Brian Wilson and the other Beach Boys ,recorded Holland in Holland, I lent Brian a small UHER reel to reel tape recorder, so he could have something for ideas at home...
when i got it back, when he left for the usa again, it still had some music and parts of a song on a tape."

Have fun with this one. It is made up of 3 files:
01) Daddy Dear / Suzie Cincinnati - Original untouched MP3
02) Daddy Dear / Suzie Cincinnati - Mono mix MP3 (much better sounding)
03) Daddy Dear - Labeled "Master" and completely a mystery

If anybody here can identify the person or persons responsible for #3, I will personally dance at your next funeral. Or even something better.

At a total time of 08:13, this is a very short two song set. According to Keith Badman's book, this was from a tv show where they performed two more songs. If this is the case, this performance was already posted on "Dutch Treat". However the versions on "Dutch Treat" sound terrible compared to the two songs here. Have you ever wanted a truly beautiful sounding stereo soundboard of a live "Surf's Up"? Look no further.

18) Wall Street

2009-12-07T00:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, I was feeling a little bad about throwing this one out but screw it. This is a masterpiece that everybody should hear. It's a Van Dyke Parks composition written on September 11th, 2002 about the date one year earlier. It is simply incredible. If you still have dry eyes after hearing this one, move on to Anvil or Judas Priest.

I e-mailed Van Dyke about releasing this song and although he did get back to me it seemed liked he scrapped the whole idea of a new studio album. If he happens to check out this blog and does not like it being here I will pull it immediately. But it has to be heard. I cannot hold this to my own without sharing with the rest of the class.

LISTEN

I don't feel like laughin' now I could use a laugh and how
I could use a telephone All alone Me and my old radio
Let's forget the news all right We won't get the blues tonight
Just gotta get together Tell that so and so
Shankin' the Big Apple tree Barkin' for a bite
You see sun is up on New York town Honkin' round run down my Battery
Drop me off at Walk Don't Walk It's about another block
And it's been lovely here on Wall Street

I can see nothin' but ash in the air Confetti all colored with blood
The jewel-encrusted mud-flattened Hudson
She's beaten and battered and buttressed and broke
Dining on dregs, gone begging, no joking
And in the confetti is human desire, love-letters lost in space, now smoking
The mouth of the river yawning south to the sea

In this cloud of disarray Floats a falling man in grey
Upside down and holding hands with his mate Why wait for speculation?
Like two stones we gravitate There's no time to hesitate
Just time to say I love you Say I love you Wall Street

Two flaming birds on fire They kiss their lives good-bye
Whereon the concrete street they meet in dying Without a trace of our embrace
You can't place my face though you are trying
'Til dust will stop our labored love We must drop all fear now of flying
A heart-beat from The Hudson down to the sea

17) Country Love

2009-11-27T14:00:00.000-08:00

OMFG, I couldn't resist sharing this travesty. Funny because I have never been able to sit through the entire thing without...well...shutting the damn thing off. I am neither a fan of late 70's country music or Mike Love's nasal vocals so it is just a really bad affair for me. I will be returning to more quality material next.

11) Thank God For Wonderful

2009-11-19T18:41:00.001-08:00

In 2004, I got very bored with everybody's SMiLE mixes so I decided to do my own mix of post-SMiLE music. It took me about five days mostly using Adobe Audition and Sonic Sound Forge. I just rediscovered it a couple of days ago and finally decided to share it. This is FLAC so it's kind of big but if I get enough requests I might make an MP3 version of it.

01) Wonderful (2:21)
02) Wind Chimes (4:35)
03) Vegetables (2:20)
04) She's Goin' Bald (2:35)

07) Cool Water (11:09)
08) Wild Honey (2:45)
09) I Was Made For Loving You (2:05)
10) Here Comes The Night (3:50)
11) A Thing Or Two (2:02)
12) The Letter (1:51)

10) 1972/03/?? NYSU or St. John's University?

2009-11-19T13:01:00.000-08:00

This has been available for a long time noted as being St. John's University in Jamaica, NY dated 1972/03/08. However in Keith Badman's book, their tour didn't start until March 16th in Albany, NY. The set list for that show perfectly matches the contents of this recording so I have been using that date and venue since. To make it more confusing, read this. Incidentally, Badman's book has them taking the day off on the 25th and never setting foot in St. John's University. Who do we believe?

Anyway, fantastic performance and very decent audience recording from that era. During "Wonderbill" Carl stops the performance to tell off some people who were fighting in the audience and threatens to stop the show (Mike talks some shit too!).

Setlist:
01) Wouldn't It Be Nice
02) Long Promised Road
03) Sloop John B
04) Take A Load Off Your Feet
05) Cool Cool Water
06) Disney Girls (1957)
07) Do It Again
08) Heroes And Villains
09) Wild Honey
10) Surfin' USA
11) Surf's Up
12) Let The Wind Blow
13) Darlin'
14) Wonderbill
15) God Only Knows
16) Help Me Rhonda
17) Student Demonstration Time
18) Good Vibrations
19) California Girls
20) Surfer Girl
21) I Get Around

Interesting to also note that this line-up still has Bruce but also has Blondie and Ricky.

This show is legendary. Backed with an orchestra on the 2nd set, this may be the only live rendition of Dennis Wilson's "Cuddle Up" that I am familiar with.

Some positives:
- The band is in the peak of their live power with their greatest line-up ever!
- Many songs that were later dropped from their live set!

Some negatives:
- Audience recording, although not too bad for the era but the taper's batteries ran out during the second set (during "Cuddle Up") so the speed starts getting sort of "whacked".
- The audience is totally unappreciative and disrespectful to the point of constantly heckling the band. Very depressing.

Yet, I love this document. This is history and is mostly fun to listen to. There is no evidence to support that this show was ever recorded professionally.

I've been looking for my old BB concerts and I found this oddity (unfortunately I only have it in MP3 format). This was the second concert recorded in Hawaii on August 26th, 1967. The concert from the day before (25th) is much more common.
