Analogman

These are the episodes he filmed before he walked away last year. I have read that he did not want Comedy Central to show them.

A lot of that stuff was recorded in Brian's house. Also, you are hearing stereo tracks as opposed to mono, individual vocals instead of group vocals, and the work of Stephen Desper (enigineer) among other things. Also - I think they went from 4 track to 8 track recording by the time.

As many readers surely know, on December 31, 1999, Phish ushered in the new Millennium with a 7 hours and 45 minute set in the Big Cypress. Since then, the Vermont quartet has held the record for longest continuous concert by a jamband. Over Independence Day weekend, however, Virginia's ZEN broke Phish's record, performing for 20 straight hours at Snowshoe Mountain, WV's The "All Together" Jam Marathon. All proceeds from the group's marathon event benefited New Orleans' Musicians who lost their instruments in Hurricane Katrina. ZEN performs next at Albany, NY's JAHFest.

I have been listening to both bands since I was about 6 years old - so I say these things out of the love I have for them both. It's just a shame The Beach Boys always get tagged as unimportant due to not having "deep lyrics" or a "heavy image". If you listen to ltheir later stuff or view later images of them, you can see that they actually did change with the times - but they had been marked as unhip by then - so no one paid any attention. When Pet Sounds came out Capitol put out a greatist hits album - as they were not pleased with Pet Sounds - just as Mike Love was not. Why? Becasue B

Thora Birch's mother Carol Connors, use to be a porn actress.

So what - only Bob Dylan was doing anything differenet then. The lyrics fit the songs. Or form follows function. As for studio trickery - Sgt. Pepper is all about that: ADT, sped up tapes, massive overdubbing, etc. There is no way in hell The Beatles could hold a candle to the vocals of The Beach Boys.

Do a google search using the words Paul McCartney and Pet Sounds - see what you find.

Git R Done

Sloop John B was put on there on there by the record company - Brian did not want it on there. This album is really a journey about one's (Brian's) coming of age and the confusion he was going through as people were calling him a genius, Capitol demanding more "hits", (no putting out a record every couple of years then, folks) and his desire to create something outside the limits of the three minute single.

Something Wicked This Way Comes?

Me too I wish the dvd's were not 60-70 dollars.

Northern Exposure Due South Lost

Well, I have been studying it since about 1972 or so - so it is ingrained in my aura.

John and Paul I have known that since the third grade.

Who played drums on the Steve Miller song My Dark Hour? This would be Paul McCartney. The Beatles were suppose to do some work in the studio that night - but this was when Ringo, John, and George were trying to get Paul to sing the papers making Allen Klein the man - he refused - and they had a blow up and did not work that night. Steve Miller happened to be at the studio and asked Paul if he wanted to help him out.

I knew you would know!

anyone?

I forget what he is listed as - executive producer - maybe.

Since no-one got the other two I posted - Who is the woman Ringo is dancing with in one of the photos found on the White Album poster?

They had some great songs - I am not the much of a greatist hits type guy - but their greatist hits cd, is uh, great.

No love for The Guess Who

Well, for starters Caroline No, one of my favorite songs was recorded mere hours before my birth. I own the following: Original pressing on vinly Cassette from the 1980's Cd with Dr. Landy's name on the back Cd boxset Soon - I will buy yet another version. Looking for: 8 track/reel to reel versions

Nills plays in Wiclo.

no

I wonder what came of his record label deal with Columbia?
