It's like having the entire Wrecking Crew, all the vocal overdubs, and every session musician who played any part all on stage all at once. Look at this in awe: all from the mind of the Living God of Harmony: Brian Wilson.
The Beach Boy's music was enormously more complex and hard to perform than one might think. These folks really pull it off!
I have many musician friends who say they "don't like" The Beach Boys yet haven't even listened, there's definitely some weird derisive and dismissive elitism thing going on - the irony being that The Beach Boys were literally the most complex and innovate band and the progenitors (or, at least co-progenitors with The Beatles) of everything me and my friends actually listen to from the 90s and 00s. Pop music progressed more between 64 and 67 than it ever has done since thanks to Brian Wilson his counterparts
Now you see how many multi track layers of music Brian Wilson had to arrange to make one record in the studio. Genius.
What ever happened to this group? Their music sounds so great to me at least, extremely close to the originals.
Hard to support 8/9 singers and the whole band too!
Back visiting in '23. Fendertones SO nailed this presentation in '04. Beachboys pure!! Hope all you guys healthy and happy.
Congratulations to the Fendertones, I have been listening to the Beach Boys for some 35 years and must say how spot- on your instrumentals are as well as your vocals The Beach Boys would be very proud of all of you for doing it so well. In 2007 in New Plymouth - New Zealand I went to see Mike Love perform and it was amazing, and when I looked around the audience all I could see was a sea of grey hair and everyone was up and dancing. This performance was the biggest highlight of my interest in music from the 1960s. To the Beach Boys thank you for such beautiful uplifting music and to the Fendertones thank you for keeping the music alive, you blew me out of the water, you do it so well it brought tears to my eyes.
Brilliant. I love it. On the other hand, some people here seem pretty sour about this rather large group, especially the number of singers, almost like it is cheating in some fashion. It is rightly pointed out below that in the studio the BBs did many many overdubs of the vocals (often replicating the same tones), used great outside singers (such as Jan and Dean) and then eventually used the Wrecking Crew to play many of the instruments such as on Good Vibrations. Not to mention the world class studios and a genius (Brian) at the helm. To approximate that sound live with a smaller group, I guess you could fly in vocals and use midi but this is largely old school. Hey, these guys are doing the same thing live as what was done in the studio even artificially producing a great double-tracked vocal sound. The newest digital equipment allows this type of magic. By the way these talented players are obviously people who are/have studied music (they have charts and understand arranging), have probably had a good bit of ear/vocal training, play damn well and have organizational ability to put something like this together. Outstanding. Talent hands down. Study the best, replicate it and perhaps branch out on your own.
Yeah, the Beach Boys never recorded an entire track live in the studio in their career and it is silly to think that any group of four or five individuals could with any credibility duplicate a Beach Boys studio track. To their credit, the Fendertones make no pretense at being the Beach Boys Rev. 2.
Agreed, look at the live performances of Pet Sounds and Smile and you’ll see Brian does it too!
Let 'em bitch. These guys are great.
You get it,....wall of sound technology....I saw the BB's play, they had 10 guys on stage, 2 drummers, 3 rythm guitars, also it took 6 months for Brian to mix all of the sounds in Good Vibrations.....
Yep, with the complexity of the harmonies and instrumentation, I would expect an extended band if they want to do it right... and these boys do it right.
I don’t think anyone has said how spot on the lead vocal was.
I’ve always found Mike’s original annoying and diluting any rock quality the song had.
This one rocks all the way!
I was at this concert n what a great concert they put on, and everyone was dancing and having a great time!
Lucky you😁sure it was fantastic
This was an epic effort. (is it true they did other musicians music on another date (s)? Thanks
Boy these guys are good!
These guys shoot the lights out. Love them. BB would no doubt approve!!!!
This music is timeless when I was old enough to listen to music my mom ( dead and gone now ) had me and my siblings listened to the beach boys ,Jan and dean along with many others of the era I can listen to this all day . I can remember when I drove from NC to Oxnard CA every week a hotrod shop that was below the blue moose lounge that played this type of music all the time I would hang out there on my layover waiting to head back east
Edwin, I've asked this before, just trying to stay current. What plans, if any, do you have to tour your current line up? I run two music festivals, always eager to include you in whatever format you can tour. What's new? Doug Day, Sweet Chariot Music Festival (Maine) Pine Mountain Music Festival, (U.P. Michigan).
Just plain old FUN, feel good music!
As a life long Beach Boys fan, I commend you for some really awesome sun n surf sound.
Ditto!
I totally agree !!!!
Damn, what production and vocals incredible.
Love the Fendertones. Fabulous sound.
The Beach Boys were my first concert back in 63. Glad the Fendertones are keeping it alive.
mine was Van Halen in Shreveport.
I wish it was Beach Boys !! I was born in the wrong era
Damn! You guys have a pulse of the early 60s. Sounds terrific!
Great sound, great to hear young musicians are into our old music. You nailed it guys.
I'd really love to know what Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce or David think of these guys. What must it be like to see a cover band nail their creations so lovingly and accurately? It's gotta be a real thrill/honor, and I bet Fendertones would love to get that sort of feedback (but maybe they have?)
It's more like a cover orchestra
Awesome rendition of this Beach Boys classic! The kid with the glasses sounded exactly like the late Carl Wilson! The boy absolutely nailed it!!!
Wtf...how could anyone dislike this?
Exactly
Amazing--they nailed it again !! How do they do it??? This has to be one of their best covers, if not THE best? 7-28-17
Outstanding group. The instruments pretty much nail the old Wrecking Crew tones. Wow!! The vocals are excellent. A few intonation problems here and there... but nothing serious. This incredible music needs to live on. The current band that calls themselves the Beach Boys isn't doing very well.
Yes they were fabulous 😂wish they would tour👏👏👏
I can't stop watching the fender tones ,they are extremely talented and look like they are having so much fun.started by stumbling on there remake of monkeys uncle.
This really shows how amazing the Beach Boys were.
The BEST BB's tribute
WOW !! They nailed down the sound .
in the studio they overdubbed so many vocals it was never just a live recording with the beach boys. Brian was to picky. SO they are doing here what they beach boys did in the studio.
These guys sound just like them and i think they do an amazing job
The Beach Boys made a live performance: th-cam.com/video/XpeqBHZJinw/w-d-xo.html
In the studio the Boys played on the recording with help from the Wrecking Crew. Wanna know why the bass line translated so well live because Brian played it on the record version and live through 1964 into 1965. They sang the vocals once and then did an Overdub for a 2nd Vocal Track. They sang as a group amd doubled only once. The Track lay out is 1st Gen- Basic, Overdub Instruments, 1st Vocals. 2nd Gen-Basic, Overdub Instruments and 1st Vocals with Double sung at same time. Brian was working with Three Track.
@@jamespfitz he is exactly on the mark about the early recordings. It's well known, well, I mean except by YOU Jim hahaha.
Of course live NOW, the Beach Boys guys aren't the singers they once where but I think in some ways a bit better.
These guys don't just do the song, they do the record.
Exactly!!
@@davidpanzer1166 Exactly, exactly.
OK, here's what I really think...and I quote,..."I've ben a 'Boys of simmer', fan since the mid 60's. So I find the Fendertones are "friggen great." They have captured it all. The Beach Boys shpuld be proud that there are talented artists, who will replace their sound. GPM-53.
thank you for keeping the BB5 music alive ...........this takes an incredible amount of work to accomplish and it's not lost on me !!
Fantastic! Nothing like 60s music we grew up in the best era for music
whoever mixes this group knows their stuff..Great sound and talent..Fun,Fun,Fun...Dance,Dance,Dance!!!
Better than the original !
Quite impressive to find THAT many Beach Boys fanatics in one room. Well done!
Waves of energy from these guys- great stuff!
Talk about capturing the grandeur! That is a fantastic arrangement and a stellar performance.
Love these guys! Absolutely the best. So cool!
Great stuff. I'm impressed with how great these love recordings sound. You pretty much never hear love recordings that are as good as studio work.
God bless these guys...true classical musicians in every sense - playing classical music as accurately and reverently as possible.
Good band who have taken note of the original and copied well, a great night out with these boys I guess.
these guys are fabulous !
Brian Wilson inspires everyone. Great performance. Love these guys !
Great musicians. Loved it.
That baritone sax!!!!
Brian's music is timeless!
Adds tremendous energy to an already energetic song...love it!
Some critic once described the sound of the BBs as "roller rink in the sky"-and you've got it down- what a lovely airy spacious quality this has!
KEEPIN' THE MUSIC ALIVE is what you're doing! And doing it well! The music is bang on.You guys are your own "Wrecking Crew", who, according to the things I've read, actually played the music on many of the BB recordings.I would dearly love to hear you do the Beatle's " Tell Me Why" as on the BB's Party LP. This is happy music.
Part of the soundtrack of our lives! Movin' - groovin' - shakin' and shimmying!
Singing real good..the amount of singers the secret!!
but the BAND IS BEACH-RIFFIC..
know this is '04...but are these guys...all 25 of them still out there???
up in canada, need to know
jctoronto
YT viewers...you're watching brilliance from 2004......
can we reconvene these 20-25 or so and make the magic again this summer?
BBoys 50 yr anniversary!!!
if potential 'project' whether live or tv or net is underway...please advise.
I would definitely want to be part of this someway/somehow.....if travel involved let me know...ive got a carload who'd get there!!!!!!! wherever it is..
repping on eastern Canada and the USA......
jctoronto
Why don't the Beach boys and the Fendertones merge and go on tour.
John Carey well that would redundant of the redundant wouldn’t it?
The beach boys never sounded this good live honestly although the falsetto Needs to be double tracked
one word...
TOUR!!!!
ok- three words...
TOUR Chicago / Indianapolis
Tour Wisconsin.
No... these guys are definitely BETTER doing the Beach Boys better than the Beach Boy's themselves....
I'm begging you.... cut a CD
It proves how great Mike Love was ......he knew what he was doing......peace and LOVE (Mike Love)
No problem. It's all good !! lol Good vibrations to you
John
Love the use of Danelectro guitars! I feel they should be more popular
Guy doing Mike's lead sounds like Al, reminds me of Paul Dano - Paul Dano portrayed Brian Wilson
This rendition of the song absolutely captures the joyful essence of what it was like to grow up in the early ‘60s, as I did. It may be the best version ever. Millions of American teenagers in those years listened to the Beach Boys on car radios. We lived in our cars. If you really like this version of the song, you would have loved going to high school in the early ‘60s. It was a wonderful era.
Only if you had your own car.
Granted we listened over 3” monoral speakers, but I always heard it as “dance dance dance right there in the car!”
These guys are really good!
Fantastic! Mike Love actually worked with them on Surf's Up. And Chad Odhner (glasses, blue shirt) has sung onstage with Brian Wilson.
If you're not moving and grooving on this song you probably need to be resusitated
Id like to hear these guys do Fun, Fun, Fun.
This is a neat series. I've Broken down and multitrack recorded some Beach Boys songs for practice so I appreciate the great productions these guys do right down to the orchestration on the original studio versions! Wow!
Do you have a video?
Awesome harmonies! Not an easy accomplishment when it involves so many voices, so my hat's off to this group. I wonder if they're still touring?
They don't tour. They claim it's just a hobby.
I counted 16 in the troupe . Originals had 5 . Kinda funny !
close my eyes, I'm a teenager back in the 60's, hanging out at the neighborhood pool. Good times, indeed
I was quite prepared to dislike the Fendertones - I generally loathe "tribute" bands - they nearly always seem to be pointless displays of mimicry of the original artist(s), with costumes, equipment, hairstyles, etc. But rare indeed are tribute/cover artists able to so thoroughly embody the spirit and essence of the bands they are inspired by. The Fendertones are clearly one of these extraordinarily scarce exceptions. They aren't pretending to be the Beach Boys - they're just playing/singing the songs they love in the way that best reflects their individual talents. Anyone who doesn't enjoy their music just doesn't like the Beach Boys.
amazing cover
These guys rock! The Beach Boys overdubbed everything in the studio and never sounded live like they did recorded. Mike Love overdubbed his own leads on almost every track...for a live interpretation of recorded Beach Boys...these guys got it down.
You guys I would love to listen to you live
What is history of group? Where are they from?
I have had the pleasure of seeing the real Beach Boys 3 Times in the last 30 years. Hate to say these guys are better than the real Beach Boys were live!!!
I started seeing the Beach Boys in 1974 and all told since then have seen them about 125 times. The Fendertones are an incredible band and you are correct for 99% of the time except for the Beach Boys 50th anniversary tour show. Go Fendertones ! Keep the Beach Boys music alive forever !!!
Bari sax layin down some fat grooves. nice!
its cool.. Love and Mercy!!!!
These guys could put together a Broadway show on the Beach Boys story about some of the greatest American popular music ever recorded! It worked for the Jersey Boys.
Superb!
These guys are GREAT!! I am a big Beach Boys Fan and these guys are just getting it done!!! Keep on Surfing, sand in your toes and the Beach Boys playing in the background, my idea of Heaven!!
pay no mind to the nay sayers...any band who has their audience dance in the aisles is a damn good band!!
This is real fu_king music....!!
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like "I Get Around"?
Just Awesome! Great job folks....Surf's UP!
I'm back in Junior High...awesome job Fendertones.
To John Armata: Do negative, uninformed, cynical comments come to you from above, or even from a good place? If you don't enjoy cover or tribute music unless it's done exactly the way YOU would do it, then don't listen to it and for _heaven's_ sake don't comment on it.
Look..John Armata. If you are going to faithfully recreate the Beach Boys music, one can nickel and dime it or do exactly the way it was done by Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike and Al and the "Wrecking Crew" in the studio and that requires many polished musicians as the Wrecking Crew and enough singers to cover all of Brians layering of harmonies on the original studio session tracks. That's what The Fendertones do. They faithfully recreate Brians music. Listen to them cover "Heroes and Villians" and tell me these guys aren't serious about their work. They don't get paid to do this. They do it because they love the Beach Boys music.
T. Hargus He comments ,and then disables any coming back. Theres always one.
you got it right !!!!!
This is excellent 😂😂😂😂
These gentlemen nailed it, very, very, well done.
@memejawd No criticism intended. We're certainly in agreement that no one sings like Brian!
If that doesn't get your blood pumping I don't know what will
I was a multi instrumentalist in The Royal Navy Band UK. When I was discharged, after going to sea, I joined a "POP GROUP" playing drums, and as a backing vocalist, presenting this song. My life included, recording over 8 albums, 3 double albums, and, ten plus years on the radio, with....PROVEN....OVER FIFTEEN MILLION LISTENERS!
Truly great sounds.
FOR JOHN ARMATA WHO DISABLED ANY COMMENTS BACK TO HIM: First of all,the music and vocals from the Fendertones sounds incredible.They achieve on stage live what I've not heard even the Beach Boys achieve because so many of their great songs were down to Brians brilliant production work as well as the music. You say that the BBs used 5 ( mostly 4) vocalists because Dennis Wilson didn't sing much. No ..he didn't,but they used more than Brian, Carl,Al and Mike. Jan and Dean apeared on lots of BBs stuff. Blondie Chaplin,Billy Henshe,Daryl Dragon,Ricky Fataar, John Stamos.... All of those people ,plus a few more contributed musically and vocally ,both live and in the studio . Look at how many were on stage for the BBs 50th tour.. so your trting to score points in that regard,is factually incorrect.
winterlandboy You forgot Bobby Figueroa.
+winterlandboy
You forgot Glen Campbell (yes, THAT Glen Campbell) who stepped into Brian's bass and vocals. Bruce Johnston replaced Glen in April 1965. He also wrote Barry Manilow's hit, "I Write the Songs"
+rick charles Brian overdubbed The Boys voices multiple times to create the sound he wanted. Even Mike singing lead on songs had his voice overdubbed 2 or 3 times. It ended up sounding like a whole choir of voices on the studio recordings. Thus The Fendertones use many live voices to recreate the sound of the studio recordings and they nailed it.
Dennis Wilson sang backup and harmonies on a lot of BB song so yeah in that regard he did sing. After he hurt his hand and could not play drums for a while until it healed he co-sang lead on some songs. Dennis Wilson took a backseat to one on his solo album.
yes they did
i really like the the fendertones songs there up beat and cool
@stockedandready That's right. The top falsetto is off but it
s hard to sing those falsetto notes iwth 100 guys on stage. There are too many guys on teh stage, and that's the problem ...it takes away the intimacy of the sound of a real BBs concert. GREAT effort....protools and all I LOVE this band
@smileysmile1 Check the other postings - the reason there are so many singers is to reproduce the effect of the double- and triple-tracked vocals used on the records.
i love how anders says "keep on dancing'" right before the video stops.
Amazing so long ago still young kids then. Now grown with families.
