Subject: RE: [newmellotrongroup] Do the Beach Boys sound this good live?

I was watching TV late one night recently andsaw some program about the behind the scenes preparations to have Brian Wilsonand his band perform Smile in London.

 

Given how bad I’ve heard him soundon some late night talks shows, and how nervous he was ramping up to the big openingnight…I was surprised how good he sounded.

He looked like he was having fun doing it too.

 

Couldn’t help but notice Paul McCartneyand George Martin in the audience giving him a standing ovation at theconclusion (Good Vibrations…Brian’s version)

No, they don't but BrianWilson's band does.

It's a bit of a slavish cover of the song, though.

Talking of which, I now have 'The SMiLE Sessions' as of two days ago.  Ithink I've played it through about 8 times now. :-)
