Mom knew I loved the Beach Boys and got me Pet Sounds for my 13th Birthday. After my boy-girl party me and mom discussed the album as it played. I think she liked to hear me talk . Rest with The Father MOM.Love you.
The wrecking Crew were behind almost every great act to come out of LA. From Phil Spectre to The Beach Boys, Carpenters, The Monkees. These brilliant musicians were there. Lets celebrate them.
what planet do men like Brian Wilson come from? I have tinkered with sounds and instruments for over 20 years and I just cant understand where that much creativity and productivity as a writer come from... much less the sheer beauty and complexity of most of his best material... how do you understand music at that level with all the key changes,bridges, hooks, harmonies and nuances? nobody else can do what BW did. not before. not since. maybe not ever. He is still the best!
As a musician who loves getting my studio tan, this is superb insight on Brian's creative process, which is fascinating. He knows what he wants but is open to making spontaneous changes. Surrounded by these great musicians, he's the ultimate "kid in the candy store". These must have been wonderful times for Brian, a man truly in his element. He was so concerned with being as good as Phil, I don't think he realized he was eclipsing him by this point especially.
This IS NOT "Rock Music", at all. This magnificent music is modern-day SYMPHONY MUSIC. Composed by a genuine composer. The more you hear it .. the deeper you love it & appreciate its beauty & spiritual quality ... light years ahead of the mere bass lines of The Beatles at that same moment in time .....
It is fascinating listening to the work that goes on behind the scenes in these recordings. Brian was indeed a perfectionist, but my God, it shows in the final production. He was so professional, clever, funny, hands on, knowledgeable, the list goes on. I doubt we will see/hear the likes of Brian's superb talent again. Least not in my lifetime.
6:54: I’ve spent a LOT of time in recording studios in my career, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard double tracked vocals that tight be for. It’s even phasing at a few points.
What an incredible archive of Brian Wilson’s genius! It’s as if we have the we-were-there tapes of Beethoven’s creation of his fifth symphony! Thanks to everyone who made this possible. A great channel to say the least.
Brian was a genius. Too bad he had major mental issues, couldn’t compose without hard core drugs. Seems earlier, he was non stop touring the world. Love you Bri.
@@AdamFloro appreciated your output, but all musicians while on LSD and or hallucinations do better work. Even Brian Wilson said it. Same for the Beatles. Revolver, the album was a great masterpiece and Brian wanted to make a better album which he did. Good Vibrations. Now the Beatles wanted to have a better album so the Beatles made Sergeant Pepper. 60’s was a fun time. Take care. I mentioned good vibrations, I meant Pet sounds
@@michaelleone1957 for sure it provides inspiration, but it also tears your brain apart. That’s why I said not worth it. Just look what happened to Brian.
Barry Spencer The Beatles were truly inspired and magic certainly happened in the studio... but Brian had this immense God funnel going right into his brain. Today, Pet Sounds and Smile are just profound art by my estimation.
wow.. FASCinating stuff!! It is so illuminating to hear the backing track without the vocals.. make one realize just how detailed these arrangements are, and how hard Brian and the Crew worked on them. Thanks a ton for putting these up!!
I love that Pet Sounds is finally getting the recognition it deserves! I remember when I first started listening to PS and session outtakes and I was like what is this! Why don't people know this exists! It was kind of like a secret and if you met someone else who liked PS it was like they were in the secret club too.
+Afro'd Avenger Music Reviews And if you hear the bonus song "Hang On To Your Ego" from the re-release of Pet Sounds, at the very end you'll here when Brian asks if he can get a horse in the studio LOL I was blown away to find out that was real! LOL Or you can look up "Barking Session"
The last song the Beach Boys wrote explicitly about cars in the 60's was I Get Around in 1964. Their last song about surfing was Don't Back Down, also '64. Brian didn't take LSD until April 1965, well after their musical course had been diverted toward more introspective and adventurous songwriting with "The Beach Boys Today!" album, the majority of which was written/produced in 1964. The stories about purchasing thousands of dollars of hashish was about writing Smile with Van Dyke Parks.
Thank you so very very much for sharing these sounds and sights and notes from one of the greatest pop records ever. This is a real treasure. Thank you.
It fascinates me so damned much as well. I can't imagine how many musicians have mastered all the possibilities with using one instrument, let alone an orchestra.
BTS, thank you for putting these videos together. They're a delight and an inspiration. Brian Wilson is a national treasure and you are appropriately honoring him -- while entertaining the rest of us music junkies :)
A master craftsman at work. Truly some beautiful and quirky stuff going on here. I love to hear the individual segments and how Brian tries to convey what he wants from his head to the studio floor. Thanks!
I was hoping the scenes of teaching Hal how the opening drum part of Wouldn’t it Be Nice and the “incorrect” piano part here were based on real events and they are nearly identical.
I love this page,I really LOVE this album (my favorite one),I really love that genious called Brian Wilson.Thank you for sharing!P.s.Italy here so please excuse my "poor" english :-)
It's enchanting to dream about where Brian would have taken the music industry without the drug abuse. I can't even begin to imagine all of the brilliant music he would have created and conducted as a follow up to Pet Sounds, Revolver and Sgt. Peppers.
+BehindTheSounds Wikipedia, despite its many faults, suggests that had SMiLE in its entirety been released, it would have elevated the Beach Boys to a new level, potentially artistically beyond the Beatles for a time, and presented America's youth with "a conscious attempt to rediscover the impulses and ideas that power American consciousness from the inside out."
+Heinkle A shame but as we all know from the past the brightest lights burn fast. In this family Brian was/IS the most unlikely of the bunch. God Bless You Brian Wilson ~♫~♪~♫~
Fan from back in the day. Even listening to the hits on tiny transistor radio even a stupid kid realized there was something different going on. Got into the mid 70s revival. But really never had the opportunity to know about what really went into sessions like these. Then in the late 80's session tapes like these were played by Coward Stern as his way of putting down & making fun of Brian Wilson. As he often put down everyone and seemed to pick on The Beach Boys too often. But people and myself heard how a genius carefully crafted his music. Perhaps that helped rekindle serious interest. And so ended listening my to coward stern, forever.
I'm 15 and this is my favourite album of all time then SMiLE and OK computer but pet sounds are on another level and Brian is genius good to see this channel doing behind the scenes
This is 1966. Interesting to hear flanging on Ray Pohlman’s guitar in the right channel at 2:00 when he plays the piano figure back. I doubt there was a pedal for that in 1966. Maybe it’s a Magnatone amp vibrato. Either way, I’ll always hear that in the track from now on.
@@theccpisaparasite8813 That's what I said about the guitar on "Pet Sounds"--the song! I asked my sister once (wrong person to ask about musical instruments) and she swore it was a steel drum!
I did look up Carol Kaye - and her body of work is truly jaw-dropping. I'm ashamed to say I only heard of her recently in a 'Beach Boys at 50' radio show. She's a genuine musical icon and deserves far more recognition.
"He hurt you then..." The flute line there just blows me away every time. So simple. Vocal on the fifth, flute on the third, but playing a major chord inversion. Not quite sure of my maths, but it's brilliant - the flutes play a major chord (backwards) over two minor chords. (E over Abminor and Csharp minor, then D over A and A minor)
Got the album Yesterday. I'm busy wearing it out. Fantastic. 13 Tracks in Mono with a bonus track. Plus 13 tracks again in Stereo. Don't listen to todays crap. Learn from the greats.
Brian Wilson's father Murry Wilson told of Brian's unusual musical abilities prior to his first birthday, observing that the baby could repeat the melody from "When the Caissons Go Rolling Along" after only a few verses had been sung by the father.
When listening to the first part of this video I notice that Carol Kaye (or whoever it was) is playing a bassnote I didn't think was there in this song. It's at 0:31. Just before the F#minor chord. She seems to play G in the A chord. But it makes the song even more exciting actually! Thanks for uploading! By the way, love Brian's cough. Such a funny guy
I've always thought that Brian is like a modern Mozart, with his amazing creativity and ingenuity. Plus, as many know, Mozart himself wrote entire symphonies in his head.
According to the liner notes in the reissues, the vocals for this song are recorded at Columbia Studios, which of course did have an 8 track machine, so it is possible that it's all Brian.
Well what freaks me out is how he had all these sounds in his head. There wasn't a lot of trial-and-error on these sessions, except maybe when Brian would be telling parts of the orchestra what he wanted and they didn't get it. You read interviews w/orchestra members and they always say he knew exactly what he wanted but they didn't think it was going to work b/c they'd never played stuff like that before. Anyway, yeah, it's beyond my comprehension how someone could have that much vision.
I always thought this was two different guys singing fighting over the same girl! But its just two different sides of the Brian vocal--you got the sweet, sensitive Brian competing with the loud, obnoxious Brian. Also, why did this song wait for Pet Sounds? It does sound it was written during the Today period and would have fit perfectly on that LP, the same way Sloop John B fit the mood of the Summer Days LP
Sloop John B wasn't recorded until after Summer Days was recorded and released to stores. The backing track was recorded in July of 65, the vocals recorded in December. And Brian always intended it to appear on their next studio LP.
I love how Brian just blows Al de Lory's mind at 2:14. Brian: Al, that was really a great mistake, I mean it Al: No kidding... I thought it felt wrong.... Great song. Thanks for uploading.
I didn't know Jim Gordon played on this album. He later went on to be the drummer for Derek and the Dominoes and wrote the famous piano interlude in Layla. He was a schizophrenic and murdered his mother in the early eighties. He's been locked away ever since. On a lighter note: Thanks so much for these videos, Behindthe Sounds, they are really well made.
Always been very curious to know what the originally written 8-note sequence before the "really great mistake" that was eventually incorporated into the instrumental track for the first verse was supposed to have been. I doubt if BW would remember even if someone were to ever ask him, but you never know.
Mom knew I loved the Beach Boys and got me Pet Sounds for my 13th Birthday.
After my boy-girl party me and mom discussed the album as it played.
I think she liked to hear me talk .
Rest with The Father MOM.Love you.
I like how he compliments people. Really a great way of producing.
Right? It’s really nice of him to do that. Also professional
Two words come to mind when I think of Brian Wilson.....Freaking Genius!
Amen!
He was the pop generation’s Mozart or Beethoven. He still hasn’t been fully appreciated by the culture the way he should be. Hopefully someday
these shorts are some of the best stuff on youtube. Thank you for making them!
Indeed, it's like being in a studio with Picasso, watching him create.
Phenomenal. The insight you get from this really blows my mind
Awesome stuff...
God bless Mr. Brian Douglas Wilson.
Brian was only 24, the man is an absolutely genius
I thought he was 23 actually!
23
The wrecking Crew were behind almost every great act to come out of LA. From Phil Spectre to The Beach Boys, Carpenters, The Monkees. These brilliant musicians were there. Lets celebrate them.
1:55 damn the Love and Mercy movie was so accurate and faithful
I was amazed as well, good sir. Such glorious touch of detail is amazing. Ah ah.
Bio pics always have a way of making things seem really corny and I honestly couldn’t stand that movie
what planet do men like Brian Wilson come from?
I have tinkered with sounds and instruments for over 20 years and I just cant understand where that much creativity and productivity as a writer come from... much less the sheer beauty and complexity of most of his best material...
how do you understand music at that level with all the key changes,bridges, hooks, harmonies and nuances?
nobody else can do what BW did. not before. not since. maybe not ever.
He is still the best!

This is the ultimate song for any guy or girl who has patiently waited and welcomed being the rebound love. been there...thanks, Brian.

The more you hear it .. the deeper you love it & appreciate its beauty & spiritual quality ... light years ahead of the mere bass lines of The Beatles at that same moment in time .....
colindominy To Brian, this is rock music. This is what rock music would become to him at the time.
+colindominy The Beatles were and will always be overrated
TheSuperTett
Hahaha, no.
+colindominy The beatles were awesome, but this is way above them, the level of intimacy of this album even scares me.
The Beatles never made an album as good as this. But the sheer volume of amazing songs they wrote makes them the greatest.
5:06 this part of the song always gives me goosebumps, absolute genius
this whole album, and especially bisecting it like this, makes my heart swell... it's just way too much beauty to handle at once
I wish I could write songs like this, it's incredible how Brian Wilson made such a catchy song with such a complex arrangement and melodies.
It is fascinating listening to the work that goes on behind the scenes in these recordings. Brian was indeed a perfectionist, but my God, it shows in the final production. He was so professional, clever, funny, hands on, knowledgeable, the list goes on. I doubt we will see/hear the likes of Brian's superb talent again. Least not in my lifetime.
8:39 It's only just struck me right now how perfect and genius that string arrangement is.

man the climax at the end of this song is out of this world
@@michaelleone1957 he composed very well before he started using drugs. His hallucinations did inspire songs though, but if you ask me, not worth it.

That was a hell of a throat clearing at the beginning.
lol! ikr.
My grandfather would be proud
Brian probably just stepped outside and smoked a joint.
It cracked me up.. him just being Brian 😄
scott d I immediately thought he had taken too big of a rip. 💨
What a piece of musical history Brian & the Wrecking Crew created.
It certainly trumps Rubber Soul.
Barry Spencer The Beatles were truly inspired and magic certainly happened in the studio... but Brian had this immense God funnel going right into his brain. Today, Pet Sounds and Smile are just profound art by my estimation.
That's certainly debatable
Got to get this album before i check in upstairs. What a masterpiece.

Just think about how good Brian would be without the acid…. Clapton has said that about himself and cocaine.
my fav pet sounds song
god what a crazy bass line!
Thank you so very very much for sharing these sounds and sights and notes from one of the greatest pop records ever. This is a real treasure. Thank you.
Thanks so much for posting such an enlightening picture of the making of Brian Wilson's best masterpieces!
Talent in abundance...one of my favorite albums when it came out. Still to this day.
It fascinates me so damned much as well. I can't imagine how many musicians have mastered all the possibilities with using one instrument, let alone an orchestra.
“Three Blind Mice” flute line; gotta love it! All the music sifting though his brain & soul…
Jim Gordon's tempo was perfect. Legendary sticks right there. What a shame how everything ended for him.
and for his mother...
Medicine for the soul, administered through the ears. That's Pet Sounds.
BTS, thank you for putting these videos together. They're a delight and an inspiration. Brian Wilson is a national treasure and you are appropriately honoring him -- while entertaining the rest of us music junkies :)
Good god that timpani and drum kit intro is *soooooooooooo* good
Brian, I love this song--esp. the Baby Don't Yah Know
A master craftsman at work. Truly some beautiful and quirky stuff going on here. I love to hear the individual segments and how Brian tries to convey what he wants from his head to the studio floor. Thanks!
This song's got something for everyone:)

baby, don't you know
Brian's beautiful voice at 6:30
Wow this video is fantastic, so detailed. Thanks!
This stuff is just amazing. Thank you.
Brian has been my mentor since 1963. Hearing this makes me realize that he has rubbed off on me.
I know some of these guys are still around, BUT.....the music they originally made can never be surpassed.
It's enchanting to dream about where Brian would have taken the music industry without the drug abuse. I can't even begin to imagine all of the brilliant music he would have created and conducted as a follow up to Pet Sounds, Revolver and Sgt. Peppers.
Had it not been for his drugs usage, a lot of his creativity wouldn't have gotten out.
Rob McKay Smile was falling apart by late 1966 and Brian stopped working on it completely around May of 1967. Sgt. Pepper wasn't released until June.
Rob McKay Strawberry Fields Forever was what broke him, not Sgt. Pepper's.

Oh how good is this, fantastic
This album must have broke the Beatles brains.
It did!
Just a little bit ;)
They admitted it.
Then the Beatles returned the favor with Sgt. Pepper’s
@@jamsistired I always thought that Sgt. Pepper was the best album ever. Then Pet Sounds literally smashed my head in two.

might be a twelve string?
a masterpiece in the making
Brian's confidence and command in the studio for his age was unprecedented...
God bless Brian Wilson
I did look up Carol Kaye - and her body of work is truly jaw-dropping. I'm ashamed to say I only heard of her recently in a 'Beach Boys at 50' radio show. She's a genuine musical icon and deserves far more recognition.
I just love this whole series ! thanks so much JHP
As someone who played Bass Clarinet, I always appreciated his use of Clarinets on this album.
Thank you very much for this!
8:39 When those strings come in...:):):):):):):)
Ah ah Brian was critic on his vocals in this song. I've always thought it is the best Brian's voice ever. Just a bit more than perfect.

Ahem! Some Behind the Sounds videos of SMiLE would be great. Really enjoy the style on these they are the best Pet Sound vids on the Tube.
Only 3 people could come to such great compositions and melodies... Mozart, Beethoven and Brian Wilson!
Yes, the 1997 pet sounds sessions box set.
This must have been expensive to record
Good Vibrations was the most expensive song ever made during it’s time
I always thought this was two different guys singing fighting over the same girl!
