It's the best version of this song I've heard. The Fendertones have the 2nd best. What makes you think it's too fast? What, do you prefer the shitty Kingston Trio's lame version?
In the B section of the chorus I cant even comprehend whats going on with the vocals. Its beyond amazing, only a genius thinking in more harmonies than humanly possible could arrange that. The greatest band of all time!
And all of it lives in Brian's mind. He is a national treasure, and a musical genius. And, he was born with just one ear drum. He's never heard anything in stereo. Even more remarkable...
How can you possibly be serious? "Beyond amazing!" "Genius thinking!" "More than humanly possible!" None of that is true. beach Boys harmonies are quite good, but they conform to well established musical theory that hs been understood by serious musicians for centuries and exemplified over and over.
I can't seem to stop watching this version. Dennis on the drums, pushing the tempo. Nobody fell behind, and they absolutely killed it! Mike just couldn't figure out that they were a rock band.
@@maakeklein4073I think he means hard on Carl's voice in the sense of trying to keep up with Dennis's tempo. He just manages to stay the right side of tanking it, but it should have been just a tiny bit slower.
Steve Melleby, Right on bro. This is my favorite B/Bs video. Because in only 3 more years Dennis would drown. Denny is so animated here. Always played like he meant it. Total absorption in his music. While every Wilson boy had that spirit? Dennis was the REAL Beach Boy.
Saw them numerous times and met the brothers when I was a kid (around '65). My neighbor was their insurance agent and they had come over to his house to do some business. I was in the pool with a bunch of other kids and when they came out we all got to meet them. Man, it's only recently that I realize how special that time was. Looking around today, I'm feeling a deep melancholy for those days.
This is a great song and the best version I have ever heard. As others have said, Denis rocked those drums and basically challenged his band mates to meet his tempo.
That's actually true! One of the few instances that Mike Love didn't act like a total jackass. Although his looking through the telescope with his hands was kind of douchey. But mild for Mike.
They were a tight money making concert band in these years, and the presence of a somewhat de-catatonicized Brian in the mix didn't hurt the presentation. I think you can see/hear how hot they thought they sounded.
Several observations: If you read or know anything of their history together, it amazing they are still alive and able to be on the same stage with one another. I worked back stage security back in the late 70's and met them all over the years, and it's doubly amazing Brian can still form sentences after the way he has cooked his brain. This particular song is so magnetic, hypnotizing, and wickedly sad on so many levels, that it is absolutely astounding.
I love how Carl looks at Brian and moves as Brian sings the word "town" at 0:12, just as Dennis slams the drums. As musical director, Carl felt every beat and listened to every note. Brothers in perfect time with one another.
@Joe M You're the dick, jumping on the bandwagon because some goon thinks its great drumming. It's good drumming, but nothing special for a seasoned pro.
No fake backing tracks, no in ear monitors, no auto-tune. Real people playing real live music, a decade into just being an oldies act, yet still 100 times better than any of garbage live acts of today.
They were a great band at singing, but they failed at playing instruments. That's why at their concerts, starting in the 70s, they brought an additional band: another percussionist, another keyboard player, another guitarist and a bassist.
this song reminds me so much of my relationship with my father. everytime i hear it i struggle to think of a world without him. how much he wanted to come home
Yet somehow Carl was the greatest singer in the band by an 84 Reagan type landslide. Brian sounded like an American Idol first round reject here as he did in virtually ever performance since the 60's. I can't fucking stand Mike Love but he still sounds good and Al Jardine is easily the greatest remaining Beach Boy. Not even close. Even Al's son, Matt, puts Brian to absolute shame these days.
@@reneep9972 These days, 2018, Brian is 76 years old. Doesn't matter if he's clean and sober, father time robs everyone of their powers. I do realize Brian was 38 in this video and had already lost his voice.
It was always in my head that Mike's voice or Brian's falsetto were the defining part of the Beach Boys. 0:55 though, it made me realize that it's probably Al Jardine. In every song, he usually had the interesting/unusual tenor harmony that stood out and made their vocal harmonies so unique.
Agreed Diane. Carl's voice was God's voice in the flesh and Al Jardine was second best. Never understood why Brian gets so much credit. Great writer, average singer. Dennis was a witch on the drums! What a great performance.
@@reneep9972 Brian's voice was the most versatile. Not always the best, but he couls take up a baritone or a strong falsetto lead with ease. He may not have had the voice that everyone wanted to hear, but he had range.
When their music came out, it was a simpler time for me in LA. Reminds me of the fun I had spending time at the beach, we could always hear the music from someone's radio. I do miss those times.
This song means so much to me. About a year and a half ago my aunt suffered a cardiac arrest and her brain went without oxygen for several minutes. They managed to resuscitate her but the damage had been done and she was forced to be a prisoner in her own body for a year while suffering full body cramps and spasms. I remember visiting her in the hospital and they had cd's with her favorite music playing and this song happened to be her favorite. I never knew that about her before it was too la
I was at this concert. wow, almost 40 years ago. Didnt know it then, but it was the last time this original line up played together. Denis was in fine form. I didnt expect Brian to show, but he did. One of the greats, The Beach boys..
Dennis Wilson has to be one of the most underrated drummers of all time. I was looking through Rolling Stones' list of greatest drummers and I don't believe he even made the list. This performance, among others, proves that Dennis wasn't just a clubber. The man had technique, rhythm, and impeccable timing. RIP Dennis and Carl as well
I was at this concert. Its funny how time plays tricks on the memory. Brian was helped onstage, and it seemed his contribution was minimal, however as I watched this I was amazed how together he was. This was an amazing performance, by one of the best bands in history. Apart from Denis upping the tempo, and everybody having to keep up, its a classic.
The Beach Boys had been touring for years while Brian Wilson stayed at home collecting royalty checks. If you didn't know, there was a little resentment over that. Dennis was probably the coolest Wilson brother but he was also a drug user and had a hard time holding tempo. This is an old Jamaican song and after this, my favorite Beach Boys song is Sail On Sailor.
@@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH I think he did it more to piss off Mike Love , who he didn’t get on with . The Wilson’s were the real talent , wrote all the classics yet Love is still touring today .,
Just watched a video of them doing this song at the studio in Capital Records not long ago, still sounding great 30 years later!! I soooo wanted to see these guys in concert when they came to my area... was gonna get backstage passes, meet&greet, the whole package.. couldn't get anyone to go with me :(
Is it just me or does Brian's hair look amazing here? Though it's a tough call to say which Wilson had the best hair. Musta made Mike awful jealous with those three hair gods walking around.
I feel like Mike felt a lot of jealousy as a young man. He had three super talented and better looking cousins, and his little brother was nearly 7 feet tall and a player in the NBA (whose son went on to also be in the NBA - the Cav's Kevin Love).
@@reckbomb82 I couldn’t believe that when I read that Kevin Love was his nephew. The joke when he resigned with Minnesota was that The Beach Boys had to perform as part of the deal😁
Amazing good. The Beach Boys somehow, despite themselves, always could pull it together. I love Brian's voice in the 70's and 80's, all sweet and cigarette ravaged but never for a moment not perfect. And Dennis somehow pulling it out of what must have been a decade of drug haze, and even Mike, Mike Love weirdo as weirdo can be, sounds just brilliant and perfect. The boys always managed some kind of sublime, creative ecstasy. They're the one real American folk band.
This is one of those songs I can binge-listen too. And I have for 55 years. If I had a bitcoin for every time I've listened to it I'd be able to fix the national debt.
Bullshit Andrew. Dennis was an absolute fucking witch on the drums! HOLY SHIT that was unbelievable. High as a kite, probably. Who the hell cares? This is possibly the best rendition of Sloop John B ever. Makes the Kingston Trio's version seem like a fresh pile of horseshit.
I just watched this for the first time after recently getting back into the Beach Boys and I think it's the best overall concert I've seen of theirs. They were firing on all cylinders that night. Would loved to have been there. So good!
I've seen the BB several times and they were great each time. As for the complaints I've read here, I don't understand it. This band is one the greatest of all time...period. Who cares they aren't perfect live...who the he'll is? Personally I think this is a great performance and more than worthy of praise.
@@magicmulder Some people are too damn hard to please. I listen to music of several recording artists like Elvis and I actually prefer some of his live recordings over the studio recordings like blue suede shoes, Don’t, and Love me tender. The only recording artists that have better studio recordings than live recordings are the doors and Van Halen.
I saw them fired up like this at Ventura County Fair in 1981 right next to the Beach. It was my 13th birthday. Proud that I got to see them all togerther that night live. Brian even came out for a long set of songs.
HELL YEAH! Dennis the best part of this song. Carl's singing was second best. Amazing performance by all of them except for the vastly overrated Brian.
@@reneep9972 They wouldn't have been popular if it wasn't for the vastly "overrated" Brian Wilson. Brian was the one who wrote and produced the sounds HE WANTED. Hardly "overrated" What he had was a gift from GOD !
Mike Love sounds like Sponge Bob..but seriously this is excellent.I sow them live around this time .They were fantastic and Mike Love was really "the show"
59 year old, slugging beer at home in New Zealand, just watched this, i'm stumped as to what to watch next. What a band..
The Band - The Last Waltz
@@greatunz67 One of the greatest albums/shows of all time. Filmed at the Winterland Ballroom in SF, wife and I attended,
The Band? Not even close!
Hey, I'm a 65 year old in Cornwall doing/thinking the same
One of the best Harmonies around. Also solid musicians.
I'm 73 ... Saw the Beach Boys live several times in the 60's and 70's... they put on a great show!
Amazing live band
Também era o meu sonho
Best version I've ever heard. Brings back memories. 🙂
On the Nebworth CD or video
Love Dennis upping the tempo with the shuffling drums at 2.10.
I have to watch this at least once a week to cure my seasonal depression.
Ha ha i also listen to the SOUND OF SILENCE...
if you live in Berlin, at least once a week.
@@erikmckean9552 watch RONNIE-GUITAR for unique CLASS.
Bless you! They were the best weren't they x
@@mumcabs watch also BANAADIR STAR BAND texas
Arguably the best live performance of the song; all the members looked so happy and in sync.
It's the best version of this song I've heard. The Fendertones have the 2nd best. What makes you think it's too fast? What, do you prefer the shitty Kingston Trio's lame version?
Agreed Renee. Space Ghost has no taste.
The best live performance of this song is by Bud and Travis, circa 1962.
i beg to differ
It's the best version
Knebworth, 1980 - I was there - it was AMAZING!
Me too...great gig, with Santana. And the B52 bomber raining ping pong balls & the giant revolving stage. This was also their full & best lineup.
@@barrydavid5110 Just realised I was there too!
In the B section of the chorus I cant even comprehend whats going on with the vocals. Its beyond amazing, only a genius thinking in more harmonies than humanly possible could arrange that. The greatest band of all time!
Absolutely, you are correct
Respect ❤
spot on mate
And all of it lives in Brian's mind. He is a national treasure, and a musical genius. And, he was born with just one ear drum. He's never heard anything in stereo. Even more remarkable...

When they lost Dennis they lost a great drummer
But I think this was a little hard on Carl's voice.
Why hard on Carl's voice.
He had such a range higher than this.
I think I could have sung better than love!
@@maakeklein4073I think he means hard on Carl's voice in the sense of trying to keep up with Dennis's tempo. He just manages to stay the right side of tanking it, but it should have been just a tiny bit slower.
@@maakeklein4073 Mike love is one hell of a singer, even if he is an asshole
Dennis Wilson absolutely killing it on the drums....man that was good
AMEN Steve. He was the best part of this song!
i agree dennis was amazing way underated drummer
Yes better drummer than he was given credit for
Steve Melleby,
Right on bro. This is my favorite
B/Bs video. Because in only 3 more years Dennis would drown.
Denny is so animated here. Always played like he meant it. Total absorption in his music. While every Wilson boy had that spirit? Dennis was the REAL Beach Boy.
upped the tempo they all fell in without missing a beat ,legends
Oh those were happy times being young cruising Van Nuys Blvd, in the San Fernando Valley, back in 1967 listening to this music.
This is just an amazing performance. Elite level rock n roll. Like everyone else I get Dennis Wilson and the energy he brings.
One of the most fun songs ever. Thank you for sharing God bless everyone happy Easter

Never mind mate. Those experiences are yours to treasure forever. A lot of us never had them. Be thankful, grateful and enjoy. Smile!
It's been 42 years since this concert amazing. They never miss a beat
This is a great song and the best version I have ever heard. As others have said, Denis rocked those drums and basically challenged his band mates to meet his tempo.
Yep, we had a drummer like that back in the 70s. Always speeding up...
But they probably planned it this way...great song!
Best drummer ever
61 year old watching and listening on a cold winters night living this
Love Mike’s & Carl’s voices on this song + Denny on drums!!!! ❤️😎💕
Fabulous work, Dennis. Rest in peace.
Best performance of this song I've ever heard. Love Dennis rocking those drums! Even Mike managed to not make an ass out of himself for once.
That's actually true! One of the few instances that Mike Love didn't act like a total jackass. Although his looking through the telescope with his hands was kind of douchey. But mild for Mike.
Hahahahaha
He was holding notes like he wanted to sing more, was not getting enough play for the acid he kinda looked like he might ....
it's true Mike is actually doing a good job for once!!!
They were a tight money making concert band in these years, and the presence of a somewhat de-catatonicized Brian in the mix didn't hurt the presentation. I think you can see/hear how hot they thought they sounded.
What a great version. So much energy...And Brian's voice so strong.
Sure is nice to look back and see them all there again.

Also, kind of hard.
@@toddcunningham3213 Thanks for commenting. Watched it again myself (probably for the 1st time in 4 years). Great clip!
A sadness runs through me everytime i see Dennis banging on those drums.
Me too!
Always listen to this song with my dad. Thanks to him I grew up with The Beach Boys!
Al’s voice was so amazing during this entire concert. He really filled out the vocals nicely.
Best live version I’ve found of this, what a band. So good
Great Concert with all Original members of the Beach boys. Dennis was Awesome beating them Drums
Great to see Dennis on the drums one more time. RIP!

@sternenkind It's astounding to me that Brian, the master producer, can't hear out of his right ear. He has never heard stereo.
I saw that and thought only brothers could know that
That Is some tight drumming. Really feeds a lot of energy into the song
I agree. Dennis was at the top of his game here and made this the best version of this song ever.
The whole band is so tight. Amazing musicians and vocalists.
"Tight" drumming, you daft twat.
@Joe M DICK??!! And nothing but the DICK!
@Joe M You're the dick, jumping on the bandwagon because some goon thinks its great drumming. It's good drumming, but nothing special for a seasoned pro.
