The Beach Boys- Carnegie Hall, November 23rd, 1972 (52nd Anniversary LP Review and Retrospective)
Save your requests for the end of the video as everything covered has already been planned out. You don't want Mike Love to yell at you!
To celebrate the anniversary of a rocking concert at Carnegie Hall, here is a track-by-track review of the show. Of course, the complete concert tape was released as one of the primary features of 2022's "Sail on, Sailor" boxset.
See a few unusual tracks, some unique cuts, and a couple things that were made available previously on other releases for a very fun time!
And Mike Love freaks out on the audience...

Overlooked Horror Films of the 1940s (with a Stooges bonus!)

Welcome back horror movie fans! Let's wrap up our Halloween horror movie exploration with a look at a few overlooked films of the 1940s!

Why have one spooky story when you can have three (or more?) Today we look at three films that helped to lay the groundwork for the horror anthology film as we know it.

A combination of some groundbreaking and ...

    It'd be nice if there was a stand-alone Carnegie Hall cd release available, not sure I want to shell out for the Sail On Sailor deluxe, though I ultimately probably will haha. As far as future video ideas, maybe do a Mono vs. Stereo comparison and why you enjoy certain songs more in mono or stereo. A bootlegs video could be fun too.

    Say, what would you consider a complete Beach Boys Live Collection on Vinyl? Would it include the "Sail On, Sailor" Set, because of the Carnegie Hall Concert included?

      I would count Carnegie Hall as part of a complete live collection. It has some parts that are very unique to it and not replicated here.

    I think Carl chose to do the Bicycle Rider lyrics on Heroes and Villains because the Smile album was allegedly scheduled for release not long after this very concert album was released. I believe Carl actually mentions its coming release during the banter on this concert album

    • @betamaxblocker
      @betamaxblocker 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's mentioned for their Carnegie Hall 1972 show but I don't think it gets mentioned here. But they were indeed tinkering with those songs for a potential Smile redo. It would have been interesting if that had come to fruition.

    After I purchased the Endless Summer compilation in 1974 when I was 11yrs old, I had to get their entire back catalog. I then purchased Carl & the Passions/Pet Sounds 2 LP set and The Beach Boys In Concert the next day. I love In Concert as it was the first time I heard the early singles & Pet Sounds material in stereo. Great presentation!

    Before the box set, the studio version of “We Got Love” was released as an iTunes bonus track to Holland, and is superior to the box set version, as it contains the original full length edit, not the shortened 2022 box set edit.

    I recently found your channel and enjoy your Beach Boys videos. You’re very informative and I love your humor at the beginning of each video. I picked up the 3 disc Sounds of Summer and am blown away at how good the 70s stuff is, I never knew! I’m hesitant to get their 2012 remasters catalog because part of me thinks they will remix everything like the Beatles did after they released their 2015 edition of Beatles 1.

    • @betamaxblocker
      @betamaxblocker 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Glad you like my videos! Plenty more to come! The group's 70s work is some of their best stuff! A great decade for them (not commercially though) and releases like Ten Years of Harmony help to showcase that. I know some of the 2012 stuff has already been remixed since but the 2012 ones are still prevalent on many later releases and will likely be used for years to come so you should be good to get them.

That film was basically the template for so much to come, well deserving of the attention. I've always loved the Dead of Night & Twilight Zone connections.

And "Dead of Night" will always be a classic! Loved your latest TZ video!

      It is indeed! The radio spots promoting it were pretty funny and bizarre too. Not quite sure how all of that happened.

    This may sound like a dumb question but as the Leid in Hawaii tracks actually are a live rehearsal, are there actual recordings of that 1967 live Hawaii show? I really love the Sunshine Tomorrow set. Great presentation!

    • @betamaxblocker

      Glad you liked it! Not a dumb question at all! The actual Hawaii live concerts (which were intended but ultimately rejected as a live album) were recorded on 8/25 and 8/26/1967. Those went right into the archive bin. They are now all available on the 1967-Live Sunshine release. All of the Lei'd in Hawaii live in studio material was recorded in September of that year. The CD includes a reconstruction of what the live in studio album could have been and some outtakes are on the digital set. Hope that clears things up for you.

    I enjoyed your analysis of The Beach Boys' . I'm the guy who put the compilation together, selected the songs, named it, wrote the notes and coordinated the packaging. Yes, I would have liked to have seen this package be more successful because musically I think it is solid, but Capitol just threw it out there without much of a push and then didn't even bother to put it on CD a couple of years later when CDs took over. All I can say is that I tried to pick the best music I could that wasn't on the first two compilations (although I HAD to use the masterpiece "Good Vibrations" again). By the way, we weren't really pushing the medley. We just threw it on there because we had it and it was fairly current to the project. It was a lot of fun work on their music because I grew up buying those singles and watching the Capitol orange and yellow swirl label go round and around on my old turntable. Thanks for remembering and caring about this long-lost classic.

      Wow! This is so cool! Thanks for commenting on my video (and so sorry I almost forgot your name during filming LOL ) It is a very solid and fun collection indeed! A great way to get people into deeper cuts the band had to offer as well. A shame it never got a CD release- it has definitely earned one. Since "Good Vibrations" was only on reissue copies of "Endless Summer" makes it completely fair game. Good to know about the medley. I would have thought that was a corporate mandate. Thanks for commenting! I would be glad to know any other insights into the album that you may have!

    I could wrong about this, the song Willd Honey ,is their Ray Manzarek R.I.P from the Doors Influence on that song. Because Bruce Johnson from beachboys plays organ in that Song.

    • @betamaxblocker
      @betamaxblocker หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm not sure- I could see Manzarek's organ playing being an influence on Johnston's though.

      @@betamaxblockerthe organ solo in the wild honey track itself is definitely doors influenced, but idk about the rest of the track yeah, it seems more like a looser pop rock version of good vibrations, like if it were just a typical pop song of the era but retained all the neat instrumentation of 67 like the theremin and lush drums

    Nice video, as always! I like that release, great stereo mixes and it was so good to have some selections from the Hawaii concerts but I really do not like these mixes that have been included on a lot of their releases in the last ten years, where it's backing track and backing vocals. I don't see the point. For me, it would be much more enjoyable to have a purely instrumental mix and/or a purely a cappella mix. Anyway, that's a minor gripe. 🙂

    • @betamaxblocker
      @betamaxblocker หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! I think those backing track/backing vocals mixes are just to help people who want to sing the lead vocal along with the song. The backing vocals help to prevent singers from losing their place. But I agree that completely instrumental or acapella mixes are much more interesting.

    The one song that stands out the most on Summer Days and Summer Nights is "Girl don't tell me". Everything else, no matter how weird it is, sounds like the Beach Boys. This is the only song I ever heard by them where they tried to sound like someone else.

    • @betamaxblocker
      @betamaxblocker หลายเดือนก่อน

      That one is quite rightfully called "the anti-Beach Boys song" in some reviews. I think the production style works on the album though and it's never stood out too much in my eyes.
