Beach Boys - "Rock and Roll Woman" cover of Buffalo Springfield track + 1968 European tour footage

Rare awesome tour footage including a 2 minute cover of Buffalo Springfield's classic "Rock and Roll Woman". Plus tour clip highlights from the bands 1968 European tour. Clip is taken from the rare out of print 1988 documentary "An American Band". It's just coming to light that this track and several other tracks may actually have been composed by Dennis Wilson & Carl Wilson or Brian WIlson and the track and copyrights sold in order to recoupe losses the band were going through from sluggish sales of "Smiley SMiLE, Friends, Wild Honey & 20/20". It also just was recently discovered that Dennis Wilson actually did co-write "You are so Beautiful" with Billy Preston in 1974. But who knows..Either way it's a great version of this track.

HEY Selector..We get it! You hate the Beach Boys...Move on already-The Beatles were brilliant, as long as George Martin was pulling the strings correctly. On their own though?? Have you heard any Solo Beatles stuff??? Sounds like George Harrison was the ONLY true songwriter in that band.

Have u heard IMAGINE bunnybrains?? Probably the best song ever written....Just in case YOU DON"T KNOW that was John Lennon ON HIS OWN without The other Beatles AND without George Martin.

LISTEN..I love the Beatles, And if we're we going to go head to head on Lennon stuff, the 1st 2 Lennon Lp's are amazing"...BUT..Insulting me just makes you look like a turd. I just love the Beach Boys stuff (circa 1965-1974) and I don't think you could have ever really heard any of it, really. Seriously, the tracks "Surf's Up" & "Feel Flows" are two of the best songs ever recorded. You should really expand your horizons out of that Beatles shadow you're in, there's more out there..

I always wished for a recorded version of this somewhere, but the American Band video is the ONLY place I've ever seen or heard it...

@bunnyhead71 if you read the lyrics john lennon wrote for in my life there were extra verses that didnt make sense [but then a lot of songs dont make sense dont follow leaders and watch your parking meters] when lennon played a demo of a day in the life for crosby he thought it was great nobody seemed to be doing long songs yet
