      The live version of H&V on the 1973 live album just stomps. That’s honestly my favorite period of the BB as a live band. There’s a live performance of “It’s about time” on RUclips that is soooo good. It’s ironic that “Sunflower” ended up being their lowest selling album, because it’s honestly one of their best.

The worst vocals, at least on Good Vibrations and God Only Knows, are five days later on March 13 in Perth, the show for which Carl apologized. RUclips has no video of that show, and only audio of those two songs. There are a series of RUclips videos that are labeled Perth that are actually this Melbourne show. There is also now and audiotape on RUclips of an entire Perth show, but it is the show that took place on March 14, the day after the show for which Carl apologized.

    Wonderful to see this finally in such great quality, thank you. This is actually one of my favourite periods of Beach Boys history although, like Elvis in his final years, there were good nights and bad. I think on this tour, the band were travelling in two completely separate operations because of various tensions. Poor Carl had to go on national television and make a 'hostage video' apology for their erratic performances. It was really Al Jardine who was trying to set the example through quiet competence. Although they got roasted by the media, the tour was a huge success, they played big outdoor sports arenas right around the country. I love this version of Help Me Rhonda, and for reasons I can't explain, I also like Country Pie. Great stuff!

    • @1401minstrel
      @1401minstrel 4 года назад +3

      Actually, Carl's apology was for his performance alone, and it was specifically for the first Perth performance. He placed the blame squarely on his own shoulders for that performance. However, he was asked about the other performances on that tour during that same interview, and he said "They've gone fine." As we can see from this video, that was not the case. The interview can be found here: ruclips.net/video/1zVTSzP2RdM/видео.html

      Btw later learned that this was the show each of the Wilson brothers were fucking with H, so I think the Valium and alcohol mix was just a pg 13 version of the R rated truth. But nonetheless I’m glad he shortly cleaned up and aside from those cigarettes stayed strong while his other brothers had their struggles he was an anchor

      Not Mike at that point. By 1978 he was well into TM and had not been into substances for at least 10 years. He was just overcompensating for his cousins' conditions. And not Al either. Al kind of carried that show. And actually, Dennis seems to be in pretty good shape here.

    I saw the them on this tour at the Sydney show grounds in what was a massive downpour which was so bad that only a few thousand of us turned up. But those who did were gifted a show that 45 years later is still one of the greatest concerts I ever attended. The stand out memories are the Band who were amazed that so many of us had turned up due to the insane rain and of Charles Lloyd playing of his sax.

    Love the way Charles Loyd sounds with the band, Carl's comping on the piano in particular. I think Carl's out-of-character behavior is the ACT of defiance of all the negativity (particularly Brian turning against Carl and Dennis) and violence (Mike's cousin punched Carl before they went on the stage) imposed by the others in the band. That's why he still sounds great on most of his musical performances. He knew what he was doing. He also thanked Charles Loyd for all his solos after he finished soloing as he's the only one who knew exactly where his solo would end. I wished I were there to say "Carl, pick me up for real!"

      They had to hold it together because the Wilsons were all blasted. It's sad to see them like that. They were such incredibly talented musicians. Carl was usually the glue that held the band together, but he's in rough shape here. Despite the high levels of intoxication, this concert is still not terrible. Just nowhere near their full potential.

    David Frost insisted Brian be a part of the tour contract. So, they dragged him out like a performing bear. I was at this concert; Brian was not there at all. Dennis and Mike were not speaking at all, and Dennis would leave the stage any time a 'Mike' song was played. Al spent the night stopping Brian from wandering off stage trying to bum a smoke from a Rodie. It was an interesting night. Years later I met Brian on the Smile tour, I told him I was there in 78. I felt like asking if he was there too.
