I love how they added their 70s flair to this song. One of the most complex Beach Boys songs ever recorded still sounds great live with a more simple feel. I also love that they added some SMiLE elements.

Al does a great job on this one. His son, Matt, is doing a great job singing falsetto in Brian’s band. This is one of the few bands with a large catalog of songs.
Never knew that Al Jardine stood in for Brian Wilson's vocals. I guess that Mike Love decided he would sing this song after all. Nice to see Dennis at the keyboards too!
I wish there was more footage of the band performing from 67-74, when, in my opinion, they were at their peak as a performing act. Plus their outfits were probably so goofy in all of these shows and that would be fun to see too.
@@photoslum I concur. They wore goofy matching outfits the entire time they were under Murry's thumb. In this period they dressed themselves, and IMO look the coolest I have ever seen them, and they look comfortable as well. They barely broke a sweat, while performing a piece of very complicated music with near flawless execution. They made it look easy! TBH, I had no idea they were this good on the road, and that the outfit backing them up was so on point, but that is what youtube is for, my friend. Cheers!!
Al Jardine though. Amazing - effortless vocal. Couldve been a frontman vocalist in a top band in his own right. How was it possible that some many superb voices arrived in the same place at the same time in history, and Brian Wilson happened to be there too. God moves in musical mystery tour ways. :-)
@@MidosujiSen Honestly, it's a good reference, but I think it was left out for a reason lol Don't get me wrong, it doesn't sound too bad live, but the part that was recorded and discarded sounds too weird hahaha
@@isaacarguelles2012 Yeah it does sound a bit wonky, but I think it's cause it wasn't finished. Some guy called adwolf16 did a recreation of the first Smile suite like 10 years ago and incorporated that part, came out great.
Love all the comments about Mike, and Dennis (yes he had sexy hair, and great attitude) but can we show some love for Carl- how great he looks in 70s fashion, how awesome his voice is? Carl rocks!
+Thom Eiser Al never called attention to himself, but he was immensely talented, level-headed, and underappreciated. Hearing him was the highlight of the 50th anniversary concert for me; his voice sounded like he was in his 30s.
I wish I could have seen that tour, but unfortunately, I was unemployed and couldn't afford tickets. :( You're right, Al and I think indeed I think the entire band are massively underappreciated, other than Brian, who of course everyone knows was a genius. But the other guys were brilliant too.
Mike's bit is taken from the heroes and villains chanting sections from the smile tapes, something unheard to fans of the Day, it's got a lot more merit than people give it credit for
MASTERFUL. JUST so, SO good! These guys always seemed to put on a brave face and you would never know it but this band, this family, IMO paid their dues big time yet they certainly persevered and like the legends they are they made it look easy while they did it...
I recall seeing this on TV. They were also featured in Good Vibrations from London the following summer with Blondie doing a rockin' Wild Honey. The early 70's were a good period for them, small venues and deep cuts. Saw them many times and only wish they did more than 22-25 songs.
Everyone rags on Mike loves Tagline in the chorus not knowing that Brian actually wrote that part for the song, it’s just hidden further beneath on the studio version. You can hear the guys performing it in the SMiLE backing vocals montage.
You wanna talk about ROCK ROYALTY ; WELL,..THIS IS IT !! One of the Greatest Songs ever recorded from one of rock's Greatest albums PERIOD END OF STORY !!
Wolfsky9 I’ve followed your comments for quite a while and appreciate the memories you share about The Beach Boys. If there is such a thing as a purist fan, I think you are one. What do you think about the meanness people spew on here?
you don't take a huge rip off a cigarette like that(!) - I think he said he tried it a little bit in the 70s...here and there - just enjoy it as much as his cousins...heh.....the drug use he was really opposed to was Brian using lots of coke - and to a lesser extent acid - but the coke really added to Brian's paranoia and trashed his voice....
Al Jardine is aways great! Around this time Dennis had put his arm through a window and couldn't play drums for along time, but still managed some keyboard work.
A lot of people like to talk about how hard it was for everyone else when Brian had his mental problems, of which the substance abuse was really just a symptom. But not enough people talk about how much courage it took just to BE Brian Wilson, being pulled so hard in different directions, in such an endless tug of war between creation and self-destruction, between what he wanted to do creatively and what people expected him to do, between all the light in his soul and all the darkness in his mind. He was being torn apart and stitched back together constantly and just to go out there and perform like he wasn't coming apart was courageous, was valiant, was and is one of the most remarkable things about Brian.
+Deborah Outman Fuck him, he was a spoiled little fat fuck who wrote a handful a decent track, 9,000 years ago.This music and his work is no longer vital. Soon...this shit will never be heard of or seen again.
@@mondegreen9709 they still wore the striped shirts through to the latter half of 1967. There are pics from the lei’d in Hawaii performances (after the Monterey Pop festival) where they’re still wearing striped shirts. They switched to the white suits a few months later.
Many thanks for this excellent film. Just as on the 1973 Concert album, it's a shame they cut the "My children were raised..." section. It's my all-time favourite moment in music. They were able to perform it live (as shown on the recently-released Hawaii 1967 performances); they just chose not to. No wonder Brian didn't like touring with them...
@@skarrambo1 it's an alternative version, because the "bycicle ryder" theme that carl sings is not on any of those ones either...probably he wanted to incorporated some missing parts of the whole suite (remember that it was decades before we could hear a longer cut)..
Al Jardine. GREAT vocal. Such an underrated contributor. Nice to see him getting some much-deserved love in these comments.
Agreed. Al killed it on this.
@@Shellinois are you one of the people that sing with brian now adays
I love how he coughs to clear his throat and then KILLS IT
And no one wore a pilgrim hat better ever ... :)
Yes, and on Looking at tomorrow..
Great vocals from Al on this.
Any idea why they moved Al to sing lead for this song? Wasn't he mainly used as their drummer?
@@kma5699 Dennis Wilson was their original drummer, Al always played guitar and he was also lead on Help Me Rhonda and a few other songs.

The evolution of how this song was performed live is fascinating. They had perfected it by '74/'75 in my opinion.

+vcoaster
Trivia - Dennis taught himself how to play the piano!
+vcoaster after brian left the road, the majority of his vocals were performed by Al, and a few ones by carl...
Susan M According to an article I read about Pacific Ocean Blue, Bruce said he taught Dennis how to play the piano.
I think dennis knew basic piano and a little simple boogie woogie he picked up as a team before that though @@damnitboy9635
Wow, Al Jardine looks awesome. Such an underrated voice

Absolutely true
outfits then werent goofy. They look awesome

This look really suits Al.
Agreed
Al Jardine really hits it out of the park.
He always does
Who could replicate that, no the band, complicated music and vocals, but they did it live, amazing
I'm very impressed with how great this song is as an opener.
The Beach Boys heroes and villains will always be my personal favorite beach boys musical piece
Mine too! 👌💐👍
Al Jardine though. Amazing - effortless vocal. Couldve been a frontman vocalist in a top band in his own right.
How was it possible that some many superb voices arrived in the same place at the same time in history, and Brian Wilson happened to be there too.

Great callback to the original H&V sessions, wish that part made the song.

Love this version with Al as lead singer my two favorite voices are Carl and Al so I am delighted with this version Beautiful !
they really nail it even live!
Al Jardine : The George Harrison of the beach boys . Love this song !
lol don't cut yourself on that edge.
@Randy Marsh Not even close
I sort of see Al as the Bob Weir of The Beach Boys
@@Jowell92 Do you even know who George Harrison is..?
Carl is George Harrison of beach boys.
Brian is John and Paul!!
Al Jardine great job - as always - Carl and Dennis too
Al you are great- voice looks and loyalty.
Love all the comments about Mike, and Dennis (yes he had sexy hair, and great attitude) but can we show some love for Carl- how great he looks in 70s fashion, how awesome his voice is? Carl rocks!
He was made for the 70s

Did you go to the one in Seattle?
Al...the far underrated staple of the Beach Boys.....YOU ARE A HERO!
Love this song! Long live the Beach Boys!!!
really good performance besides Mike on the chorus
Al and Carl sounding great like usual
Mike's bit is taken from the heroes and villains chanting sections from the smile tapes, something unheard to fans of the Day, it's got a lot more merit than people give it credit for
Such an amazing band
Everybody must master a beard and a hat the Al Jardine way at least once in life.
Oh, and fuck you, Mike Love.
Fuck you Mike Love
Beards are back in a big way. The Beach Boys were amongst the first.. I say great!
Best version of this tune. Al Jardine
MASTERFUL. JUST so, SO good! These guys always seemed to put on a brave face and you would never know it but this band, this family, IMO paid their dues big time yet they certainly persevered and like the legends they are they made it look easy while they did it...
Al Jardine makes it look effortless.
Dennis Wilson had the best hair in this concert.
I’m straight but goddamn
Dennis Wilson had such sexy hair- and an even sexier personality. Sure he had his demons, but he had such a good heart
I wished they showed more of Denny
I think we can all agree Mike Love had the best hair and personality of the band
@@kevinr.3542 I agree
Amazing live , brilliant, one of my favourites, got all their albums
Man they sound so good. I always show this to anybody who only knows the striped shirt BB's and it blows their minds!
Show them Pet Sounds!
It certainly adds depth but the striped shirt b&w BB shows had so much energy
3:22 proves only brian wilson can pull off such a fascinating transition
2:15 to 2:34 is pure bliss
LOVE AL JARDINE
We all do 💜

Didn’t realize Al sang lead. He’s got a really good voice…as good as, if not better, than Mike, imho.
Mike is cheesy and sucks
Much better than Mike Love's very ordinary vocals, imo.
Yh Al Jardine very underrated, has the best vocals that's left of the remaining Beach Boys! Great version of H&V!
I was there, had a blast.
can we switch brains so i can know what it would have felt like to have been there?
Why did everyone look homeless in the 70s?
Why yes we did, thank you. Much like the early 90's.
Because you associate a natural appearance with homeless people.
Daniel Brennan Why do homeless people today look like they're from the 70s?
plumeri66, LMBO! :-) Good one, ha haHA hahaha HA HA haha! :-) :-P

Scotty MacFarlane heroes and villains part 2
What is Mike taking a puff of in the first minute of the song? Oh yeah, and Al Jardine doesn't hit a bum note...not once throughout the song. Respect.
And Mike has the gall to say he never partook in drug use...
@@767scarecrow What a fuckin hypocrite
@@767scarecrow he never said that
Great Look for Al and Great Vocals
aww man, i wish i was all burnt out, clapping along at this show.
Dennis you made it!
He was fine as wine
You wanna talk about ROCK ROYALTY ; WELL,..THIS IS IT !! One of the Greatest Songs ever recorded from one of rock's Greatest albums PERIOD END OF STORY !!
Fantastic from Al
Glad I saw this video--all these years I thought Carl Wilson was lead singer on "Heroes and Villains." Nope, it was Al Jardine.
Not on the studio version, though.
+alartandy Idiot. Do your research. Brian sang lead.
+President Oxford
I think Al may have done some vocals live that Brian did in the studio. There was a subtle similarity in their voices.
The studio version has Brian singing lead on the verses, Al on the chorus
Long live the memories of Dennis & Carl Wilson. xoxo The Clarences
man I'd love to be there just vibin
I totally agree oth you on that from one of their biggest fans
BOTH Al & Bruce looked so much better with facial hair ! -------Early 70's, my beard was as long as Al's. -------------------WolfSky9

What a wonderful time in history the 70's was xD
Near the top of Beach Boy songs.
just great music so talented
Thank God for Al Jardine…
Dennis is an absolute dream boat ❤❤
Mike Love NEVER ceases to amaze me.
😂
Even the surf rockin Beach Boys can't escape the hippie era tho
Lovely little Al jardine ❤️
Love this one!
50 years ago. They were so ahead of the times
Al did great job!!
so Awesome , Love it
Holy shit Mike was smoking a joint on stage! (~1:14)
What else would that fucking useless turd do?
Holy shit thats awesome lol
Probablly a cig. He doesnt support drug use, never has. One of the few redeeming factors the man has.
you don't take a huge rip off a cigarette like that(!) - I think he said he tried it a little bit in the 70s...here and there - just enjoy it as much as his cousins...heh.....the drug use he was really opposed to was Brian using lots of coke - and to a lesser extent acid - but the coke really added to Brian's paranoia and trashed his voice....
This is my favorite version of the song. I like Mike's counterpoint vocal. My only complaint is not enough sketchy hobo beards and dire outfits...
Al never received the credit for his outstanding vocals!!
Al sounds incredible here. Effortless 🙂
Al, Carl, and Dennis all sang their parts tremendously! The saxophones added a lot to this song and performance.😊❤
Funny how much the look of the band and fans changed in just a few years.
no
Carl was only 24 or 25
Probably 24..born December 1946.
Me It is stone
This video has 1,200 Heroes and 34 Villains as of June 20, 2019
Al Jardine is aways great! Around this time Dennis had put his arm through a window and couldn't play drums for along time, but still managed some keyboard work.
Al looks great with a beard!
Mike Love, dancing like your creepy uncle since 1960...
It makes me uneasy
Love that song 🎵 💕 ❤
1:46 Mike ruins everything.
Agree! Mike has plenty to do in the show without blowing the songs he's not in. He does take down this concert version a notch.
pro12tc I don't think he ruined it
pro12tc you hater
Mike Love was under a witch’s magic curse for fifty years.
lunarvision no he wasn’t
Al Jardine is the cutest and best. Love his voice. Actually, I think Carl is the cutest and best and Creepy Mike is just that.
Don’t forgot the shortest!
The Boys should've recorded a country-folk album with mostly Al, Mike, and Dennis leads I think
I love the saxophonists in the back

Yes! Mike Love was and is a dirt bag. Al Jardine was and is a sweetheart.
This rocks.
