Good Vibrations the Lost Studio Footage

  • I edited this footage on my iPad from the doco Doin it again.
    Edited! I get tired of all the dopey comments on this, so lets clarify a few things.
    1. The song was recorded over a period of about 6 months in 4 different studios.
    2. I'm guessing this film was recorded in a day and is probably more or less lip synced and acted for the purposes of promotion.
    3.Bassist Carol Kaye played on several of the "Good Vibrations" sessions, and has been identified as a prominent contributor to the track. However, analysis by Beach Boys archivist Craig Slowinski indicates that none of those recordings made the final edit as released on the single. So I hope that has cleared that UP!
    4. No more DOPEY COMMENTS! I'll delete and block ya!
    5. Just enjoy what we have here.

      It's unfortunate he didn't have a George Martin, or George Martin himself, to keep his ideas organized and on track. He might've finished a contemporary version of SMiLe in 1966. In a documentary with Martin, he stated George 'fixed' the bass part' in California Girls the way Brian had always wanted it but couldn't seem to capture it. Lennon and McCartney were great writers and musicians, but not for George Martin in the middle years of Rubber Soul through the White Album, they might've not had the influence on modern music that they have now. It almost wasn't fair, Brian was doing everything and Love and Jardine were giving him so much shit abot the direction of the music when he needed their cooperation the most. They might have become an even greater band post SMiLe era, really adventurous and eclectic, not just a surf and car band. I guess the statement they made at the time up to that point was loud enough that it still has us talking about it 50 years later.

    I haven't seen any mention of just how young the 'Boys were when they started making this music; when their first single, "Surfin'" was recorded in late 1961, Brian was 19, Dennis was 16 and Carl was 14! Between 1961 and 1965, they recorded 12 albums, almost all of which Brian had composed, arranged and produced - is it any wonder that he had a breakdown? Around the same time, Brian decided to stop touring with the band and the job of stage manager became Carl's - when he had barely turned 19! So, to all you folks who want to downplay their talents and contributions to American Rock/Pop music, I have one thing to say to you: I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU DO THAT.

    Progressive surf music - sounds like a contradiction in terms, but…- What’s always been amazing to me about this song is it’s way advanced from anything at the time; harmonically inventive, a masterpiece of arrangement, orchestration, & production; and IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE THE BEACH BOYS! If you listen to this next to one of their early records, you can hear the common elements, the thread of continuity. From where they started, most people would think that no matter how well-executed, there’s just so far anyone could take that concept. It’s astounding for that simple, conventional sound to have evolved into this complex, sophisticated, unique result AND still maintain the same character.

      There was no sampling and no loops. It´s all hand made but in the end you hear the first or another generation of the pure instrumental takes.

During the group's most innovative period of music-making, from 1964 to 1967, Wilson developed elaborate techniques for assembling the band's songs, which combined elements captured on both 4-track and 8-track recorders, as well as making extensive use of tape editing.

I know they used to get mad bcuz he would be stressing the points of sound or effects that the feeling was coming from and had to constantly keep telling them thru sounds. For example when the base really starts rolling in with the whirring sounds, there's a part in the movie where they weren't building up enough. They couldn't understand what he was going for but eventually they got it. Brian Wilson supposedly different than the normal people, but normal couldn't create a song like this. I feel bad for all the crap he went thru bcuz people don't understand mental illness or they have no patience for it.

    The main studio musicians who appeared on the final version: Hal Blaine (drums), Al De Lory (piano, harpsichord), Larry Knechtel (organ), Al Casey (guitar), Ray Pohlman (electric bass), Lyle Ritz (double bass), Paul Tanner (Electro-Theremin)... and Dennis Wilson, who contributed about a 30 second Hammond organ riff..... (during the "break down" where they are singing"Gotta keep those good vibrations happenin' with her....")

      Lennon and McCartney said the same thing. From my perspective, it was one their last intelligent comments. That was the turning point for rock and roll. The Beach Boys all but created that genre. Their influence was to Rock and Roll, what Muddy Waters and Sister Rosetta Tharpe were to the marriage of Blues and Soul...creating THE Motown Sound. I am proud to have witnessed that incredible "marriage."

That was the early 1970's; a lot of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Captain and Tenille and Chicago, the big stuff back then. And some Beatles re-releases on Apple Records too; the 45 had a big green apple on the label.

      A chorus of notes that make up a chord. I’m sure serious sheet music would show all the notes that have to be hit perfectly. And Brian heard them all in his head before this song existed. Sounds like 5 or 6 part harmony. Choir directors hope they grow up to be Brian Wilson.
