True, weirdly I think bc he’s not related to the others and also maybe because he’s short. But he’s as important as any of them and has been a workhorse for them.
Brian, Dennis, Carl, and Alan! Wouldn't have been an AWESOME band? Murry's sister's son RUINED it! Alan was, and still is, Brian's best friend! Not related, (we can see how well that worked out) but a true friend. Yes, I wish Dennis Carl, and Carl Dean were still around! Alan and Matt are going to keep Brian's and the rest of the REAL Beach Boys music still here. steve
I just a degment of the Jack Benny Hour circa 1965. The BB did California Girls. I swear I could hear all the girls in the audience swoon when sang his part. He was 19 years old then.
Just gotta say it. Carl Wilson was always very good looking, but in the early-to-mid 1980s he was Greek god-like handsome. Life with Gina Martin must have really agreed with him.
IT was a well done Alto solo, Although it might have been overdubbed. This was in that period of time after Gerry Rafferty's tune ''Baker Street'' with the classic sax solo had popularized the kind of style displayed (apparently) by Mike. However prior to this demonstration I had not seen Mike display such extraordinary technique on his woodwinds. So I'm just a little bit suspicious of him.
I know EXTREMELY little about woodwind instruments, but since this Sax has a reed, you MUST change your fingers around, to get different notes. Mikey is NOT moving fingers, to get different notes! I, however know a LOT about reed valve, 2 stroke engines. (I know how a reed valve works. Or not.) steve
I blast this one in my Mercedes convertible this summer with the roof open driving along the Dana Point coast on a gloomy day with people heading to the beach and those people were cheering at me while I was blasting it while on a stop light. I live in AZ now but forever a Cali guy
Saw Brian, just over a month ago. Bucket list item! 7 June 2022. Three days earlier, I turned 64. Brian and Sir Paul both hit 80, later that month. Juneteenth? That is the day between Brian and Paul's birthdays. They had to walk Brian out, with a walker, but, at the white piano, he KILLED the songs. Alan and Matt Jardine did everything they needed to, to make the show AMAZING! Matt was almost as good as Carl, but those are MASSIVE shoes to fill. Alan, the everlasting, dependable support! I do NOT want to paint Alan into a bad corner, but he wouldn't say shit about anyone, even if he had a mouthful. Probably my favourite Beach Boy. Always there, always doing what he can! steve
Tengo 53 años y desde Diciembre 8 de 1.990 empecé a escuchar concienzudamente a The Beach Boys gracias a mi novia de ese tiempo que por cierto es nacida en Estados Unidos . Siento una enorme admiración por ésta banda musical.Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia 👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was beautiful, with the whole band together, and even Brian, looking so good ! Mike brought out his sax again and blew so nicely. Wow ! I never knew the BBs did this song ! Missed Dennis, of course .
The Beach Boys were so talented as a band and individually. While their best songs were before my time, the Beach Boys are in my top 5 favorite bands of all time.
RIP Carl. RIP Denis. Great to see Brian on stage! So glad to see you, Brian! You look great! You came a long way. Long live Brian Willson and his music! Al and Carl's vocals are AWESOME! BB's will always be the best sounding band in my time.
Thank-you so much for getting this back on Y T ---------------I saw this -------------and all I can say is how badly I miss ----------Carl Wilson, who was by this time The heart & Soul of the group. --------------------Miss you, Carl Wilson. ------------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
Once agian a wonderful effort by by the Beach Boys Community. .... Beautiful leads by AL and Carl.... Wonderful Beack Boys harmonies.....great sound..... Mike shows his talents as a great sax solo mimer.... And Brian, at the stage of the Beach Boys Saga after being sacked by the band for several years, being gracefully being aloud and relegated to stand in mining the bass player part to right of the stage (not present at the recording of the song....)..... Beach Boys always were and still is a collective of talents which is what makes them truly special and everlasting.....
well of course Brian created the sound of the BB's on record so even at this stage after being under the "care" of Gene Landy Brian became someone the Boy's were always happy to use as a figurehead.
As a lifetime fan from the beginning-----------Fall of '62--------------This version of " California Dreamin" , is in my All-time Top 5 by The Boys. That Rickenbacker 370 12-string , by Roger McGuinn, is huge. Vocals arranged by Carl Wilson & Bruce Johnston, instruments & over-all production, by Terry Melcher. ---------It's just classic .------------------------------MJL< 74 y/o
Love this song! Just awesome performance! Tremendous singing of both Al and Carl. Neither can be outdone here. Mike Love really does a fantastic job playing his saxophone! The band is fabulous! Everyone together makes this a masterpiece that cannot ever be beat by anyone! Outstanding!😊❤
#1 credit for this fantastic version of the John & Michelle Phillips classic, goes to the Late Terry Melcher. It was his idea to get Roger McGuinn & his 370 Rickenbacker 12 string ------and, his idea for that fantastic sax bridge, which I still believe had to be Steve Douglas, from The Wrecking Crew. Vocals were arranged by Carl & Bruce, resulting in a rocked-up Beach Boys version of a song that came so naturally to them, it is almost as if BW & Mike Love could have written it. ---------------MJL, 75 y/o
One of my Top 5 BB's songs of all-time. 1986--------25th Anniversary. --------love that Rickenbacker 370 Roger McGuinn is playing ----------Carl played the 360 model. -----------Can't verify, but I'm 90% certain that's Steve Douglas on SAX. ------------------RIP, CARL WILSON .---------------------MJL, 75 y/o
This '86 version of the '65 /'66 classic, is one of my all-time Top 5 by The Beach Boys, & I say this as a fan from1962. Roger McGuinn's fantastic guitar, his Rickenbacker 370 12 string, & the " Jingle-Jangle" sound, added with Steve Douglas from the legendary " Wrecking Crew" , & his Tenor Sax, make what IS a Beach Boys song by itself, into a classic remake, one to surely challenge The Mamas & The Papas original version. The harmonies , with Al & Carl taking leads, and Bruce hitting the high notes perfectly, make this song another BB's classic for all-time. I'm hard pressed to name a better remake, & both John & Michelle Phillips agreed. Terry Melcher gets all the credit, for getting both McGuinn & Douglas , as he produced the song. Notably, BW had NOTHING AT ALL, to do with making this ; perhaps that helps explain his obvious discomfort & lack of interest in this appearance on " Solid Gold ". plainly, he's out of place & he knows it. That's all due to Eugene Landy, who insisted on being credited as co-producer, & demanding royalties for BW's participation. Melcher told him to take a hike, so Brian was left out of the recording. --------------MJL, 76 y/o
Although this is clearly Lip syncing and playing to tracks, I think Mike Love actually does play saxophone in real life. I am not saying he played this solo in the studio or anything either but...anyway.
@@steveskouson9620 Well I wasn't actually there at the time but his documented that he played sax in the early Pendleton's days. Very rudimentary. So no I don't have proof. But I'm going to go on with my life not really knowing for sure.
Solid Gold was always a lip sync performance show. This is an awesome cover. Al and Carl put their all into the leads and the harmonies rule on the backing vocals. Terry Melcher also deserves major production credits during this era. Over all, one of the best covers I've heard. Should have been a bit prior to Kokomo :). Thanks for the post!!
Excellent job on the remake very good instrumentation true talent and the band is still going strong congratulations Beach boys on a very long career keep up the great work keep that wonderful surfmusic going thank you so much Richard Herron Azle Texas
INDEED "Elora", this was a stage 'playback' performance from SOLID GOLD; there's NO doubt about it. As a "self-proclaimed" SOLID GOLD "sort-of" expert in classic, vintage & rare SOLID GOLD episodes, this one REALLY caught me off guard; I thought I had seen all or most episodes, but watching this now, proves I still had one more to go! It does look very, very heart-warming, to see all the main Beach Boys up front & center stage...like Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love and the two brothers that were still with us at that time...Carl & Brian Wilson. How fitting it was too, to have them record (at an earlier time of course) a staple song in American music, "California Dreamin' " that appeared on their 1986 greatest hits album, "MADE IN THE U.S.A.", which contained several hits from the past, as well as two new recordings, one of which, was their cover version of the said song, "California Dreamin' ". Well now...we learn something new everyday, boys & girls! BCRadio
This was re-recorded as a 20 year tribute to the original. The group had to get permission from BOTH John & Michelle, to do it. ---------Carl & Bruce arranged vocals & instruments. Terry Melcher produced & got Roger McGuinn, to play his Rickenbacker 370 -----------Carl, is playing " Old yeller", his Rickenbacker 360 12-string. -----------------Classic 80's. --------------I want to go back . --------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
I usually don't like covers of classic songs, but this one is so tastefully done. And yes, we need to give Charles Lloyd credit for Mike Love's sax solo. Charles must not have been available that day for the videotaping.
No, Mike usually faked the sax solos on videos around this time. Kokomo and Problem Child for instance. John Phillips faked the solo in the Ca Dreamin' video.
Great to hear that it was Charles Lloyd! Crazy that no one knows who played the instruments on the original recording! Other that Roger McGuinn of The Byrds on 12 string guitar!
It almost hurts to see the amount of talent on that stage! Thank you for taking such wonderful shots and making it clearer than so many live stage performances.
Back up musicians? Front left Jeff Foskett, front right Billy Hinsche, on drums Bobby Figeuroa, Ron Altbach right rear on keyboards, percussion Mike Kowalski, long time touring member since late 60's Ed Carter between Ron & Bobby behind Brian.
No question about it-------------after Dennis died, & Carl went solo x 2 years, when he returned, he was by far THE HANDSOME --------& magnetic member of the Boys. ------------Always carried himself with class.----------------------Wolfsky9
Hands-down, from the 70's, & through the 80's THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY THE BOYS. ------------Should have been a monster hit. ---------------Roger McGuinn on his Rickenbacker 370-12 -------------Carl is playing his 360-12-------------------WolfSky9
@@lastfewtokes of course it is. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that they made it sound awesome. Having the mama and papas singing blends it great with old and new sound
I like this version of the song better than the Mamas and the Papa's. I sed to come home around midnight after doing afternoon shift, l'd put on my Beach Boys made in U.S.A. tape, crank it up and sing along in the shower. Great way to get rid of stress. I used to be able to hit most of the high notes, but l was alot younger and didn't have asthma.
Mikey is so good, he can play different notes, without moving his fingers. Mikey "Love." the Milli Vanilli of the Beach Boys. (Wait, since he as sued all 3 Wilson boys, for the Band's name, Mikey Love now owns the Beach Boys tribute band.) Yes, my lifetime favorite band, is owned by Hateful Mikey! Just glad that The Brian Wilson Band has a show, here in Phoenix this summer. 7 June 2022, in Phoenix. Yes I do have tickets. steve
@@steveskouson9620 To be fair, Al is completely playing in a different key on guitar here. If he was actually playing, he’d be a fourth below the band (key of C, whereas the song is in E).

This is the best version of this song. The Beach Boys were so underrated.
In their homeland,after 65,yes,the rest of the world, no.
No one can beat the quality of Al Jardine and Carl Wilson’ vocals on this song! Fabulous!
I totally agree with you..🎉

Carl what a beautifull artist We miss him so much
I like also the voice from Al Jardine
November months always makes me think of this tune 'California Dreamin' on such a Winter's day'
I love Brian's hair here! Really all of the guys look good here!

So good!
That's a beautiful version of a great song. The California Sound! Nice to see Brian involved and healthy. Good sax solo by Mike, too.

The Beach Boys were a great part of my California dreaming.

Absolutely brilliant ❤❤
Al is sooo underrated
I agree. And when they all do harmony I can't tell which voice is his, so I'm glad to know he did some of the lead vox on this track.
Jardine rules!
Superbe
Currently, Alan and Matt.

I usually don't like covers of classic songs, but this one is so tastefully done. And yes, we need to give Charles Lloyd credit for Mike Love's sax solo. Charles must not have been available that day for the videotaping.
No, Mike usually faked the sax solos on videos around this time. Kokomo and Problem Child for instance. John Phillips faked the solo in the Ca Dreamin' video.
I was being facetious about Mr. Lloyd not being available that day.
Matt S .... John Phillips was aPIG.
@@andreamurphy1126 oink, oink
Great to hear that it was Charles Lloyd! Crazy that no one knows who played the instruments on the original recording! Other that Roger McGuinn of The Byrds on 12 string guitar!
Mike Love not even trying to move his fingers in a convincing way
None of them are convincing ^^
Like Brian does with the bass!
And he still doesn't when he "play" bass at the end of his shows! But for Brian, noboddy complains...
Relax bro. I'd like to see you do better as a 108 year old
This was 1986, they were in their 40's. I'm sure they have played it live many times.
Mike love is a fucking tool.
Mike Love nailing it on the sax…
yes, playing air-sax
The Beach Boys are professionals through and through.
They all looked very good here!
Elora , Thank you for this version,it is great. I have never seen it before.
Al singing lead, Carl and Brian is the Bonus..
Adrian Baker and Bruce Johnston arranged the harmonies on the Beach Boys Version of California Dreaming.
It almost hurts to see the amount of talent on that stage! Thank you for taking such wonderful shots and making it clearer than so many live stage performances.
Mike's sax skills really improved since Shut Down :D
Also, that brand of saxophone Mike is playing is Little Tikes. My child has that same brand.
Mike is not really playing with anything but himself.
@@kako1023 Unless it's a tambourine, which I hope he's mastered by now 🤣🤣
@@cthewave9955 NO, ML surfs off Brian's Back , that was his ticket.
@@kako1023 Well...as per "An American Family," ML did surf 🥱
Now there are 2 Classic versions of this Legendary Classic Song
Back up musicians? Front left Jeff Foskett, front right Billy Hinsche, on drums Bobby Figeuroa, Ron Altbach right rear on keyboards, percussion Mike Kowalski, long time touring member since late 60's Ed Carter between Ron & Bobby behind Brian.
Mike Meros on Keyboards, not Ron Altbach.
The definition of harmony, in Websters (should) says see "The Beach Boys".
No question about it-------------after Dennis died, & Carl went solo x 2 years, when he returned, he was by far THE HANDSOME --------& magnetic member of the Boys. ------------Always carried himself with class.----------------------Wolfsky9
Hands-down, from the 70's, & through the 80's THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY THE BOYS. ------------Should have been a monster hit. ---------------Roger McGuinn on his Rickenbacker 370-12 -------------Carl is playing his 360-12-------------------WolfSky9
have to agree. All time favourite song - at 66 - best version of an immortal song that captures the spirit for us who were there.
bradman1100 .... So Very True... I was only 26 !
ABSOLUTELY agree - 1000 percent !
The embodiment of vocal perfection.
Man, I love The Beach Boys, but clips like this make me understand why many are glad the Beatles broke up in 1970.
I would have really enjoyed it more listening to them playing & singing live vs a recording.

Had to watch this again and again, I think I like it more than their own songs
Wow! I thought the Mommas and Pappas were gold on this song but the boys actually rocked it better!
no
Helyes they did
This was lip synced
@@lastfewtokes of course it is. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that they made it sound awesome. Having the mama and papas singing blends it great with old and new sound
awesome vocals
ruclips.net/video/EOFnrB9Sv-I/видео.html
I like this version of the song better than the Mamas and the Papa's. I sed to come home around midnight after doing afternoon shift, l'd put on my Beach Boys made in U.S.A. tape, crank it up and sing along in the shower. Great way to get rid of stress. I used to be able to hit most of the high notes, but l was alot younger and didn't have asthma.
ruclips.net/video/EOFnrB9Sv-I/видео.html
Carl, had to have had the best all around voice in rock and roll. Too bad the smokes got him.
I Love it!... And for those who never knew...Mike has always..played the sax... NO band..can top their sound.. Period!
ruclips.net/video/EOFnrB9Sv-I/видео.html
Mikey is so good, he can play different notes,
without moving his fingers. Mikey "Love." the
Milli Vanilli of the Beach Boys. (Wait, since he
as sued all 3 Wilson boys, for the Band's name,
Mikey Love now owns the Beach Boys tribute
band.) Yes, my lifetime favorite band, is owned
by Hateful Mikey!
Just glad that The Brian Wilson Band has a show,
here in Phoenix this summer. 7 June 2022, in
Phoenix. Yes I do have tickets.

@@steveskouson9620 Funny...how Brian still does gigs with him at times.. I think they ALL get along much better than the 'Mike haters'...think.
The concert was everything it was billed
to be. Brian's band left me breathless.
2 things off my bucket list. Chicago was
just as good!
steve
@@steveskouson9620 To be fair, Al is completely playing in a different key on guitar here. If he was actually playing, he’d be a fourth below the band (key of C, whereas the song is in E).
