Couldn't agree more,Summer Days N Summer Nights and Today! are definitely signposts for Pet Sounds... Next to Per Sounds my 2nd fav album is Today! also Love You is underrated imo, it's basically a Brian solo album.
It fascinates me what is going on in song writers heads when artists like Brian come up with songs like this fantastic great words and music and those vocal arrangements all Brian he is a genius.
This was the B-side to "California Girls". It should have been released as a single in it's own right. I don't think I've heard this on the radio since '65.
When I got the BW "Imagination" album and saw "Brian Wilson/Michael Love" credit for this track, I thought it was something which had been shelved and which Brian had just then finished. Apparently I'd never heard the BB original...
You are exactly right! It should have been released as a single. I can never grow tired of this wonderful song. Of course, l can say that about nearly all of Brian's tunes. They grab me, and pull me in!! Heck, l am 69 years old and can not stop playing this stuff either via electronic devices, or simply in my head!
I heard this gem on the radio once in the late 1980s on an adult contemporary radio station playing a collection of old Beach Boys tunes cause 1960s music was in back then. So I heard this song, just that one time, never knowing the title, but the tune stuck with me all these yrs. I knew it had the word "run" in the song so I did a search on CZcams and finally found this song the other day. Great tune, should be more well known.
I'm so sorry, that Brian has lost his Falsetto during the 90ies. In 1989, on the Summer Camp (also elsewhere here) he made it perfect. But Al is the all time youngster, still singing like 50 years before. It's wonderful.
It is indeed Jeff Foskett singing lead. It's hard to believe how well he's maintained his falsetto over the years. But to the original comment, Al has retained his youthful voice, as well. I remember hearing him as the standout at the 50th anniversary concerts. He sounded like he was 30 years old. Super strong voice, and rocking it out.
I'm confused. Why isn't Brian singing lead here? I can understand him not being able to sing the high falsetto any longer. But, couldn't he still handle singing lead up until the high sudden falsetto part begins?
Brian never said he didn’t like the song. He has stated, most recently in his 2015 autobiography, that he didn’t care for his original vocal performance. He said it wasn’t masculine enough. He likes the song. In fact, he recorded it again for his 1998 studio album “Imagination”.
Okay for all the folks who like to cap on Jeffery Foskett, I can sort of see why now.... I have always liked him singing the high harmonies, and he had been needed for the BBs or Brian's touring bands. But he just doesn't handle the lead all that well on this one. Maybe it was just a bad day.....
Derick Sturke maybe, but Derick, its not an easy song to sing lead on..you have to admit.....right bud...but wow look at Brains genius, and the original was Brian leading on this, he had a beautiful falsetto, then Mike comes in "'Guess you know iv waited for you girl" on base...so good...just reminds me of the Beach and Bikinis..
jjs490 Not a slam on anyone. Just that Jeff -- at least on this take -- just didn't sound as good or smooth as I expected. Heck, if it weren't for guys like Foskett and Scott Totten, or Darien or Probyn, we might only have the original records and bad cover bands to listen to!
+Anthony Remedios Correct & as all those who've done a soundcheck & for those who haven't, it's just a soundcheck not a performance. It's to get levels set & that's pretty much it.
It makes me so happy to see David Marks back with Brian.
A GREAT song, and a signpost on the way to "Pet Sounds."

Love Jeff Foskett.First time I saw him (early 80's) I fell for that falsetto. Was and still is a great guy. Thanx for the memories!🎸
Jeff was always a great singer. He beat cancer not too recently at the cost of his voice. We are truly lucky to still have him with us.
my favorite song from summer days and summer night's
great job Jeffrey. one of my favorites from summer days and summer night's album.
those guys have a place in heaven to teach the angels how to sing.
Thanks Jeff..very true to the original

+Ralf Reköndt That's not Al singing lead, it's Jeff Foskett.

@@sirrealism Agreed. Al's voice has aged better than anyone else from the band.
Yea. No drugs, no cigarettes, no booze. Some sort of message is there, but probably not considered "cool"
His vocal days are over as he’s batting serious thyroid cancer these days.
Nice! Cool to see Al and David both playing Jaguars!
great frickin' song
Amazing
2:08 Good Vibes
Al Jardine playing a Johnny Marr Jaguar
Cool!

Brian on record has said he doesn't like this song. that's probably the answer
@@connorhardy3547 That's interesting. I'd like to know the reason why he feels that way about it. 😊
@@connorhardy3547 that's crazy haha cuz imo this is the best song on summer days and summer nights

@@phillipwhite7709 Thanks for the info. 😊 👍
Is this pre - Matt Jardine? I thought he sang falsetto pretty well
Matt has been in & out. Once Jeff Foskett left the Brian Wilson band & went with the touring Beach Boys Matt came back to the line up.
Such an underated song by Brian. Again, a shame he is reduced to sitting at the piano singing backup on a song where he WAS the lead
paul newman Carl sang the lead
@@podline66 Paul is correct. Brian is led on this song.
Granted, he largely damaged his voice via all those years of booze, drugs, and cigarettes.
Maybe it’s where he wants to be.
@@podline66 Wrong. Brian sang the lead on the record, NOT Carl
Looks like everyone is singing backup - who's singing lead?
Jeffery Foskett on 12 string acoustic to Brian's right
@@bcjc68rest in peace.😢
Thought he hated the high pitched lead vocal.

+Derick Sturke Definitely Probyn. Remember, this is sound check.

I always thought Foskett's voice was better suited to handle Carl's parts rather than Brian's.
I think this is sad to parade Brian Wilson out there on a walker just to sit at the piano in what appears to be a catatonic state.
Oh horseshit. Its like someone else opening up for the Stones singing Sympathy For The Devil.
