apologia for placement of Be True to Your School on Little Deuce Coupe: 🎼When I cruise around🏎 🎶The other parts of the town🌎 🎵I got a decal in back📼 {team Betamax Blocker decal emoji}... The drum roll intro is the sound of drivers 'revving up [their] engines' (hence the 'real mean' sound) right after one 'loud braggart' issued his de facto challenge to a drag race (by '[trying] to put [the other] down [by saying] his school is great') and just before 'some Honeys will be coming along' to stand in between their cars and wave their kerchiefs, thereby signifying that it is indeed time for both to 'come off the line', whereupon our hero (whom we are assured elsewhere in canon is a 'real cool head' and FWIW is 'making real good bread') 'popped the clutch' and before long 'it's understood [he's] got a fuel injected engine sitting under his hood', leaving the poor loser only to stare at the 'decal in back' fading out of view...

I get around and fun fun fun are definitely the studio recordings. it was the first thing i noticed when listening to the record and it really bothered me. I’m pretty sure the reason fun fun fun at least sounds so different is just because it was slightly sped up, but i really do wonder why they did that. maybe they just thought stuff like dennys drumming came out too sloppy on those two tracks specifically or something but idk

Cool video- early 70's were such a great time for the live band.

Interesting convention!, would love to be with you guy's in a pub for a few hours just talking Beach Boys. The Philharmonic orchestra CD reached the top5 in the UK I've listened to it just once and like the both of you I really couldn't hear much different in any of the tracks. I agree with the comment below from jfeast5469 a box set and solo albums would be very interesting, especially Dennis's music.

I loved this album n as at the Live In London concert, Brilliant! Greetings from England.

Enjoyed watching this! Have both the Live At Knebworth 1980 and 50th Anniversary Tour CDs, as well as the late 1990s Philharmonic CD. Can't think of any tracks on any of those three that I'd consider too weird or that don't fit with the rest of the CD. This has nothing to do with weirdness of any of the songs, but have read that when the Beach Boys were putting together the songs they'd be performing during their 50th Anniversary Tour, Brian went back and forth with Scott Totten, over whether or not to perform "Marcella". Brian, thankfully won out on that. A slight criticism I had of the 50th Anniversary Tour, was I thought, rather than using old video footage of Carl and Dennis performing "God Only Knows" and "Forever", with the living band members singing/playing along with C & D's isolated vocals, they should have performed those two songs 100% live, with possibly Jeff Foskett stepping in for Carl vocally and David (who sounds remarkably like Dennis, pre-1976) doing the same. Interesting that David sang lead on "Getcha Back", maybe that was an inside thing in the group, given the song's title, and that David was once again back in the group.

Hey Betamax! That looks like a mighty thorough Stooges box set! Good to see you received one since they are a little tough to come by presently. Hey on the topic of sound chips, good to see your sound chip works. When I got my 66 Batman set the 'na na na na na' tune never worked. Ha ha, oh well. Take care man!

Thanks guys - and yes, you should definitely do box sets and solo albums. :)

This was a dumb marketing decision. The Stooges made 190 shorts and this set only includes 100 - nearly half are missing. I have them all on DVD from Sony and in pristine condition. I also already own their feature films and other extra material on blu-ray and DVD. This set isn't worth the asking price and I'm definitely passing on it.😊

I have 19 Beach Boys 8-track tapes. Best of the Beach Boys Vol.1, Best of the Beach Boys Vol.2, Smiley Smile, 20/20 + Wild Honey (2-fer), Friends + Smiley Smile (2-fer), Sunflower, Surfs Up, Holland, Sufin' Safari, Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, Little Duce Coupe, Shutdown Vol. 2, All Summer Long, Beach Boys Concert,Pet Sounds, Dance,Dance,Dance (renamed from Today!), California Girls (renamed from Summer Days & Summer Nights), and a weird early Beach Boys collection by Springboard records with the Hite Morgan stuff. I am enjoying your videos! I learned about you from Steve at Beach Boys Basement.😃

Have you compared the blu ray with the dvd’s for picture quality differences?

Great vid. I still have my Lost and Found on cassette.

This wasn't a bad album. Not their best but certainly not their worst. Played the crap out of the album.

Do You Own THREE STOOGES VOLS. 1-13 VHS Tapes From 1980-1985 Ones?

HOLD HANDS YOU LOVEBIRDS!

Does This Set has THE CURLY SHUFFLE Music Video by Jump N Saddle?

What Put in MICRO-PHONIES When Curly Hat Comes Off was Edit?

Does This Set Has HOLD THAT LION! When Curly had A Cameo?

Got the sec when it came out. I wish were follow up volumes!

Great video! Well done gentlemen!

I can tell you: you could buy CD’s separately at Starbucks. Didn’t have to buy a drink.

1. I totally agree with Steve's choice of Teeter Totter Love as odd man out on the Smile box. As your discussion went on, that came to my mind before Steve said it. 2. In my entire record buying life, there were three albums I wanted but could never find on vinyl- Stack O' Tracks (heck, I would have settled for the 1970s UK reissue) and James Brown's three Christmas albums from 1966, 1968 and 1970, the latter called Hey America. I did get the Hey America single. I had almost every other James Brown album, though. 3. If Jumping Jack Flash had been included on the Beach Boys in Concert, it would have been the odd man out for obvious reasons. But it also would have been a highlight. I love the Carnegie Hall performance. 4. I certainly fault Capitol for including Ronda instead of Rhonda on Endless Summer, but I actually approve of their choosing the LP version of Be True To Your School. It has a more vibrant, sunny sound and is stereo, like the other 1963 tracks on the set. Also, the faster tempo and the Honeys cheerleaders may have sounded a little jarring beside the lush sounding songs. 5. In my opinion, they should have removed How She Boogalooed It from Sunshine Dream and replaced it with the great Dennis B-side Celebrate the News, and then find something else to fill up the next year's Rarities album. There were plenty of songs to choose from for that LP.

On Sunshine Dream, I’m surprised neither of you picked The Beach Boys Medley. It’s not even a song!

These are great.

Great discussion guys. For The Beach Boys Concert Lp I would pick Long Tall Texan or Monster Mash as my choice for an odd track to include. @thebeachboysbasementwithst6444 Steve - Hawaii actually went top 10 in Australia during The Beach Boys tour there in early ‘64 so technically it was a hit for them.

CHICKENS COME HOME was Remake of Silent Short of LOVE EM AND WEEP 1927, Both Films MAE BUSCH Does The Role of Ex-Girlfriend is Black Mailing Some One For Mayor.

Love this, glad I stumbled on your channel.

Great conversation and thoughtful picks. Stack-O-Tracks is a weird oddball album in and of itself. However Catch A Wave has an error in it. The three drum beats which lead into the a cappella opening intro are cut out of the track. Not that the a cappella intro would be part of the track if anyone were to use the songbook that goes with the album they couldn’t because there is not enough dead air at the start of the track to allow someone to sing along with it properly. For an oddball album that is the weirdest track.

I actually have a Taiwanese bootleg of “Best Of The Beach Boys” on the Taedo Records label.

I meant by Mr. Love & Mr. Johnston!

Good evening sirs! My copy was signed (Stack of Tracks)@ a concert!

I actually saw the Ten Years Of Harmony release on vinyl, cassette and 8-Track. The 8-Track didn’t last long, though.

Good evening sir! I have that album autographed by Mr. Love & Mr. Johnston! Thank God!🎉

This was one of the first albums that my mom ordered from RCA Music Service in 1975-1976. That issue didn’t include the poster, as the official Capitol release did. When this hit the CD market, there were 21 tracks (Good Vibrations being track 21).

Frosty may have been included just for filler material…which could also explain why 409 was reused as well. And, the way the cover of the album was, it was called a “shorepack” cover: not as heavy as standard gatefold covers, but slightly thinner than most single pocket covers. I believe that albums by The Rascals and Nazz (Todd Rundgren’s first recorded band) were also released in similar covers here in America (and Britain got “Beatles For Sale” in a very similar style cover.)

The digital release has changed! Very weird!

The James Watt controversy was in 1983, and Ringo's July 4 performance with the Beach Boys was in 1984. The Statue of Liberty project was for the 100th anniversary of the U.S. acquisition of the statue. That centennial was in 1986, when "Lady Lynda" was rewritten as "Lady Liberty;" that appeared as the B-side of "California Dreamin'," but it wasn't on any album as far as I know.

Carl was touring as the opening act for the Doobie Brothers in 1981 (just before they broke up for eight years), which is why Brian is singing lead on "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations." The 1981 album is the only one of the quasi-legal live albums that I have, and I'm not too fond of it, although I listen to it once a year. The sound quality isn't great, and the group doesn't sound very good. I'm surprised you didn't mention the occasional unwelcome interruptions from the police audio, or whatever it is that suddenly appears in one or two places on that album. I think there's a little bit of the concert missing, because the length of the performance was slightly longer than the amount of music that can be put on one CD.

My copy of the album is one I bought when it was still available only as an import from the U.K. on the pale green Capitol label, with the back cover photo from "20/20" as the front cover photo.

According to the site Beach Boys Gigs, this took place on June 14, 1974. Blondie Chaplin had left six months earlier, and Ricky Fataar did his last concert as a Beach Boy on September 8. That site also says that Elton John came on for "Barbara Ann" and stayed through the end of the show, while Paul Simon joined them for "Fun, Fun, Fun," the closing number.

"Amusement Parks U.S.A." was released as a single in Japan and reportedly went to #3 there, but it's not in this concert; maybe it was too difficult to play live.

When I went to college my friend Preston was backstage & brought me Dennis Wilson's drumstick since I had to study for an exam!

Very cool I’m going next month to the vip after party I can’t wait should be fun

Nice job man. Not too clued up on the show but what I saw (I think it's a classic tv show). Witty, weird & wonderful. A show way ahead of it's time. Patrick MacNee was superb, effortlessly smooth and stylish. Very inventive show. I think I mostly saw the Diana Rigg era. For fans a definite must buy set. Didn't know that some of the series was lost..Great info😎

I asked Via Vision, and they said this DVD set would work in region 1. My guess is that the set is all-region but PAL.

I’ve heard that The Beach Boys actually played on the Disco version of Here Comes The Night themselves.

Wait…no Rock And Roll To The Rescue?

Thank you for this. I just discovered the release of the Australian blu-ray Tara King collection, & though the advertising claims region free coding means it works on US players, I was anxious about whether the discs truly play without issue. It's reassuring to hear there were no playback problems. I look forward to seeing these excellent episodes in their restored glory. The original home video vhs & dvd releases of years ago seemed a little ragged, as the transfers were made using complete but well-worn prints at that time. I'd like to have seen a comparison of on screen still images or video showcasing the improvements of the new edition, compared to older releases, but I understand that this was an unboxing video, not a quality review, & I appreciate the walk through!
