I think the reference to Carl never missing a note was perhaps to his vocals. Yeah The Ed Sullivan guitar intro was pretty bad........ he was 14 give him a break
All the folks having their "Aww Brian is cute" thoughts are as disturbing and creepy as Brian was from about 1970-1989. I wonder if his kids thought Bri's smack/coke/booze abuse and wacked out behavior was cute when they were growing up. I also question some of your alleged love of Brian. An obese, unhygeinic Brian spazzing out in public is sad. The guy used to be a functioning adult on top of the world, and fried himself through drugs and neurosis. I don't buy the schizo excuse either.
@peterp21 I am sure not a day goes by when Brian's mis-spent years don't bother him, which makes it all the more important for him now to grab every day and squeeze the most out of it, creatively, which he seems to if his media profile is anything like accurate, condemning people for their addictions and addctive natures is like condemning breathing for making imperfect lives too long, and prolonging imperfection. True forgiveness comes with reparation,Brian does that every day as an artist.
Even though it's a shitty live recording, it still demonstrates pretty good vocals by the group. Dennis was just 6 months from dying, but could still smack the drums.
Dennis looks terrible, though he at least shaved off the beard and long hair at this point. The bloating from alcohol is very obvious. If he hadn't drowned, it was only a matter of time until he dropped dead.
It's had to believe that by Dec 0f that year , 1983, probably less than 4 months from this video, drummer Dennis Wilson would die 'way too young' . Its too bad that Bruce Johnston's after song 'praise' didnt include Dennis' drumming as well, in addition to Carl Wilson and Al Jardine's Singing on "Runaway". That indicates under appreciation and band friction, ...Of Course, who is to say ..that a little credit goes along way,,, toward self respect ..and staying the course.
@gjmaztr7 LOL, right. If only Bruce had thanked Dennis, he wouldn't have died ACCIDENTALLY. That's the "Wilsons are gods, the rest are assholes" contingent for you...nothing is ever the Wilsons' faults. And "stay the course"? When was Dennis ever ON the course? He was a degenerate alchololic, smack/coke abuser, and womanizer. He was also unreliable and simply didn't bother to show up in working condition/at all on tour. Maybe "under-appreciation" was in order?
@gjmaztr7 I watched other clips from this show. The second drummer had to fix tempo problems multiple times so clearly Dennis Wilson was struggling quite a bit during this concert. When that is the case, sometimes it is best to play through as a group and draw attention away from the problems.
when I watch these videos, the ones from 1983 I almost cry seeing Dennis in the shape he is. I still watch them though, and I thank you for posting them. I saw them at the ohio state fair in 1982, and again in 1986. the show in 82 imho was the better of the two cause Dennis was there.
if dennis hadn't shaved he wouldn't have looked as bad, even though it was obvious. sometimes I think even if he had gotten clean, he wouldn't have been in the world much longer. SRV a fine example he got clean then bam! died in a helicopter crash. life is full of irony.
Ed Carter is lookin at Brian like this guy is nuts, and Dennis looks like he is about to barf all over the drum set....on the video of the same concert, Carl's whatcha do to me MIke Love gives somebody the finger.
It's obvious. The BB were so tired of his horrible drumming and being drunk that they hired another guy {Bobby Figueroato I do believe} to sit right on stage and play with him.... and BB songs aren't all that tough to play on.
They obviously COULDN'T afford to fire Denny. When they did look what happened. He died a few months later and what was left of the Beach Boys as the great band they were died with him. Poor Carl was the only real Beach Boy left and he was fighting a losing battle while Brian was being Landified.
The Beach Boys weren't the same after Dennis died but Carl was not the "only real Beach Boy left." Alan Jardine was an original members as was Mike Love and Brian WIlson (though his participation was sporadic). Bruce Johnston was a member since 1965.
@BB45s I meant Carl was the only one carrying on in the true spirit of the Beach Boys & Brian's musical vision. Therefore he was the only one in the band at that time, imho, who was keeping the Beach Boys name/good reputation alive. I'm very aware Al (who I like very much) and Mike were original members, but @ that time Al was sided in the Mike faction (opposing Carl & Denny) which was exploiting the BBs reputation & doing their best to ruin the legacy of great music 4 the sake of making a buck
This is just fantastic, thank you for posting! Brian looks like he's really enjoying himself. He & Al aren't really the right heights to share a microphone haha!
Yes, actually none of them were perfect. Carl and Al were the best in person for me personally.Dennis was not the only one who drank. check out one of the Australian performances where Carl wa smashed. I heard bad and great notes from them all, which is why my favorite sound from them is as a group in harmony warts and all LOL
@BeachBoysGuy1...... im a huge beach boys fan..so i put there greatest hits on my mp3 . to work out at the gym...as yu do... we...ll ....it turned out to be one of those shite throwaway live!! cd,s...it was just crap..live.......i fell off the damn machine...i stik to studio hits now...
@BeachBoysGuy1 Of course no band is perfect either. I wish Carl and Dennis were alive today....though if they were their ears would be bleeding from listening to all the new crap they make now a days
Maybe, I guess Carl's "notes" were lost in transit. Truth is, none are greater than another. They all contributed to THE greatest vocal group of all times, no do wop nor jazz singers gave us such wonderful sounds.
@BeachBoysGuy1 Sure he did. Carl did not sound very good in 77 and 78. Due to chemical dependency issues, sure, but still - there are some "ouch" recordings out there.
@BeachBoysGuy1 Carl never missed a note? Are you kidding me? You obviously haven't seen the Beach Boys' performance of "Wendy" on the Ed Sullivan Show...
