I met Al in 2015. Nicest guy you ever talked with! Humble and friendly. Such a gentleman.
Al Jardine ... a great real BEACH BOY
his son matt has some pipes
Matt has KILLER pipes!

Got chills when they started the Beach Boys version of this song. This could only be understood if you grew up listening to these guys!
Al Jardine still has his voice! It's 2018 and almost 60 years since the Beach Boys started and this guy's voice is virtually unchanged!
That version is actually tremendous .
Went to see them (with Al Jardine and Brian Wilson) in Montreal a little more than a year ago. A birthday gift from my wife.
I very much like them but I would'nt call myself a diehard fan.
At the end of the show they were shaking hand with people down the stage, took my chance and went to shook hand with Al Jardine and next thing I knew I was in my wife's arm crying like a 60 years old little boy who just realize that their music have been part of my life for more than 50 years.
@@RodolfLeclerc No band personifies summer & good times like the Beach Boys.
No. Just no.
I've met all 3 Wilsons. I met Carl several times. Everything you heard about Carl is true the sweetest guy. Al is also a very nice guy.
what can you tell us about the others?
I met Al and Jeff Fosett both very nice an humble. I had a not so nice encounter with mike and bruce asked bruce to sign my program and he laughed and said my hand hurts. I was surprised I always thought he was nice. David Marks was also very nice to people he ran into in the lobby. Ed Carter was awesome.
@@bredmon Sadly not much. Dennis walked past me as I was talking to Carl and tasseled my hair with his sweaty hand and said good show huh. Brian I got to take a picture with as past of a V.I.P. rip off package we weren't allowed to talk to him and he didn't say anything
@@TheCraig8754 yeah…Mike and Bruce are jerks. It’s been fairly well-documented.
Al was so underrated and so underutilized. Great talent!
I agree that Al is underrated, but IMO only with regards to the larger music-listening public, including many BB fans. But within the BB, I think Al's role was commensurate with his talent, and how often he was featured speaks of the group's high regard for him. He sang many BB songs, including one of their 4 number one hits, "Help Me Rhonda." In all, I think Al played a significant role, and isn't it incredible that he lived through the crazy '60s, a member of one of the most successful bands in the history of R&R, and he lived an amazingly successful life free of drugs, horror stories, and even free of all drama/lawsuits that afflicted Mike and Brian. Al did the whole RockNRoll lifestyle about as cleanly and respectfully as a man can do it. Congrats!
Penny Enicks oh no, he was over utilized! Esp . in the 60s
Before seeing the videos I didn't realize Al sang lead on as many songs as he did. I suppose it was hard not to be over-shadowed by the talented Wilsons and attention-grabbing Mike Love. Though low profile, he was/is very good as a lead singer, and as I've said elsewhere second only to Carl.
He was never underrated - where you get that notion from?
It’s so great to see so many positive remarks here.
I call him "Big Al Jardine".
Because he's tall in wisdom, talent & kindness. His son Matt is a huge star too.
And figure the odds that Al's son Matt would be gifted with that falsetto voice!
Al Jardine is a legend!
Al jardine is a legend and really seems good person
I literally have no words, this is simply magical.
Whenever I listen to Sloop John B, I have these visions in my mind of a sailboat anchored in aqua clear water under bright sunshine...and picturing Dennis Wilson leaning up against the mast with a grin on his face, surrounded by Brian, Carl, Al, and Mike Love...one of my all-time favorite songs by an original American band, The Beach Boys.
Jeff, Al and his Son Matt sound absolutely amazing...Bravo!!
al jardine , just gets better with age
Al Jardines young bloke sounds like he could of been an original Beach Boy.How cool would it be to sing with your old man who is a legend around the world for his contribution to music and being in one of the worlds most famous bands.Signature sound that takes me back to my childhood and the hot Australian summer.
I know everyone talks about Al, but his Son has a great beachboys voice!
This is a HUGE piece of rock n roll history. Pay attention. Download. It's huge.
I saw the Brian Wilson Band at Parx Casino last November. Al was more or less the lead singer on most songs (he did all of Mike's leads), and he still sounds like he did back in the 60s.
I freaking admire Wilson as a god of music and love Mike Love and alwzays give him his props, but man, i'd PAY to see the Jardines in concert!! This is thoroughly enjoyable!!
I like how he changed it from 'worst trip' to "best trip'.
In 1976 my music teacher Mr Roland played this song on the piano and turned me on to the Beach Boys. They were and always have been one of my favourite groups. Even through the punk era that I was totally involved and immersed in.
One of my all-time favorite songs. I remember singing it on the school bus in 2nd grade.
bp4924 it’s my favorite Beach Boys song. It’s wonderful.
76 people didn't get it, can't recognise class, look Al is a legend, end of story! ❤️👍
I think some people can't reconcile the studio version, with an
unplugged solo version of a single aged Beach Boy.
Too bad. Unrealistic expectations always lead to
disappointment.
Proud Papa.
WOW! Matt has certainly been blessed with the same amazing voice that his dad has. I very much look forward to watching the other videos of them performing together. Absolutely loved hearing both men harmonising together!
There are lots of children of famous singers who can sing really good, such as Georgette Jones and Ronny Robbins.(imaging inheriting the voice of one of the all-time greatest singers).
Matt can't hit the HIGH falsetto notes,
his dad did. (Alan can't hit the high
notes he used to. Neither can I.)
Alan, Brian, and Matt, all national
treasures!

Al Jarine helped to creat one of the most beautiful musical utterances of the last 65 years. I have a hard time not breaking down in tears every time I hear the vocals come on the Beach Boys version.
Beach boys forever 👍👍👍
I believe that Al Jardine is such a nice man. I saw him with Brian Wilson a few years ago and he really was there for Brian. Great job, Al!
I always appreciated that Al stood with Brian after Carl and Dennis died and Mike completely alienated the band in the years following. I feel like Al has always had Brian's back.
@@fraziermichaelj Of course, I totally agree with you. Thank you, Michael for your reply. I saw Brian and Al and Al's son at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California. Brian was so fragile and Al was there supporting Brian. Beautiful and brotherly.
@@fraziermichaelj eh, yeah... but the guy has what, a dozen songs that he's written since 1963? He is very lucky to be where he is. Even his only solo album that relatively recently came out is severely lacking in solo written compositions. Him and Bruce Johnston are so lucky.
He's still great and his son awesome
Wow still sounds very good at his age. Great!
Would have been great if Marty had not died so early, and could have done some shows with his son, Ronny.
In the 60's I was at the beach every day in Huntington Beach. The best way to hear the bass in Beach Boy songs in those days was to tape my small 9 volt transistor radio to the mouth of a quart Mason jar. AM radio didn't do justice to music in those days. That's why record sales were so high. It was the only way to get the real sound of a song.
So much talent.
Good recovery by Al, starts the verse wrong at 3:40 but recovers it and gives a cheeky grin
Absolutely magnificent from Al! I have huge respect for him, absolutely underrated for the Beach Boys. So, so glad he's still going strong after all these years. Loving the performance!
The Genetic Harmonies go on forever.
Matt Jardine is amazing!! Can’t wait to watch his career grow 🎶❤️
I’m bawling…..❤❤❤❤love him so much
Saw Al and Matt perform with Brian Wilson at Santa Barbara Bowl a couple of years ago. Such a great show!
Wednesday, June 28, 2023 - Hello 😀❗
Half a century and this song still makes my head spin ❗. THANKS 🎼🎶 🎵
Magical Melody ♥️ . L u c i e n (French)
My all time favourite song. This is phenomenal. Cheers
The roots of this song go back to the 1600's. Poet Carl Sandberg saved it for posterity as a poem in his 1927 collection called "The American Songbag". Later as Al said, the Kingston Trio and then the BB brought it back to life.
Yeah, impressed with the performance and I hope other guys don't mind but it's really nice to hear how strong Al's voice still is.
Love Al and Matt!
This is beautiful! A young man getting to create w/his Papa. You two are very lucky. I love it!
I think back to Blossom Music Center concert in 1978 or 79 when I met Al and his young son Matt at the hotel we were staying. Nice meeting then and in future encounters.
Al, you are one of the unsung heroes of modern music. You deserve so much more recognition.
Al always had the California sunshine in his voice......still has....
Matt's brown outfit reminds me of Van Morrison's outfit in the Last Waltz. Van's was more of a leisure suit. I love it, so retro.
Tremendous.
I love the way he said "I feel so break up".
That's the original lyric of the Kingston Trio
J'ADORE ...
BB version is the most memorable song from my childhood. Tears of joy
It seems that the Beach Boys went forward, in spite of Brian; and probably Al kept the Band afloat, ship to shore; Brian's subsequent crash landing notwithstanding.
Mycket bra låt o sångare!
Al`s amazing voice always a great moment to listen to
Thanks Guys!
This IS the best song
Al-an con-tribu-ted
Sloop John B was originally recorded by the Weavers back in the early 50's.
I was a super big fan of Beach Boys. I wasn't even much of a Beatles fan as I was so loyal to "My" Beach Boys as I called them. Never met 1 but saw them twice in concert. 2nd concert Brian no longer touring & was Bruce Terry (if my name recall is correct).
It wasn't until some years later that I really started to appreciate how great Al Jardine & what he contributed.
Totally awesome
Still listening in 2023!
A long time ago, my father was doing a performance,
that I didn't go to. He was a decent amateur singer, and
12 string guitar player. I'm sure he played the Kingston
Trio version. I was still in high school, at that time. I
had the family van, and was taking 3 girls to another
concert. A local band, called Papa doo run run. They
did/do Beach Boys music.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa_Doo_Run_Run
Anyway, I always thought that both concerts had the
same song. Dad doing the KTrio version, and Papa
dooing the BB version. Oh, that concert, I SAW a
Leslie Speaker in action for the first time.
steve
That was so cool!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wanted to add to the comments but after reading them theres really nothing i can add lol..I have watched and listen to the Beachboys all my life and really have enjoyed the pleasure and great feeling it gives a person afterwards..the only complaint i really have had over the years is Mike Love..his singing thru his nasal passage always killed it for me..but what can i say I still enjoy them to this day.
wow this is so good ...makes me think of my dad and grand dad...
Bless your Golden (well, also Buckeye and then Empire) State Heart, Al, for posting this. You are awesome in so many ways and absolutely a BIG part of the Beach Boys sound, both vocally and instrumentally, from the git go. Interesting and a blessing how you met and became involved with the Wilsons. You are great and haven't lost a thing at age 75 here (77 now!) Keep on doin' your thing. We all wish you the very best in every way.
Great stuff Al, you were part of the greater sum. You rock man!
Hi Al, great memories listening all the Beach Boy s greatest hits ,First album at 15 yrs old ,was the one with GTO on the cover ,alot negative things happen in my early years, l listened to the album it cheer me up . They say music is the best medicine,believe they are right.
Nice version
Go BBs
like that he begins in the Kingston Trio folk style, Al is the best. Voice is still fantastic
Love it! I like listening to Sloop John B.
Matt is still hitting the high notes.
Absolutely amazing!
When I saw them in 1974, they opened with this. Everyone was there but Brian.
1 of my all time favorite Beach Boys songs !! This is really a great version of this classic !!
I love this!
Thank you.
Best version ever! Thanks
How amazing, so nice
Dear Al and Son. Come to Melbourne Australia. The mecca for music.
Both were here during late 2016 at the Palais. An amazing 2 hours !
This was awesome!! Thank you for posting!!
I like al jardine & Matt jardine
I'm 68 and remember singing this in my Folk music class in the 8th grade. Saw the Beach Boys back in 64 or 65. My second concert. First was Trini Lopez. (Auditioned for the Cricket's after Buddy died)
Ive been a huge fan of both the beach boys and the kingston trio. I have heard and loved both versions of the song for many years but to see al perform both versions side by side was awesome. Thanks for sharing
I love so much this song Sloop John .B
Thank you!
brilliant!!!!!
Legends
Awesome!
I do love the Kingston Trio's version of this, but Brian's version is phenomenal, IMO.
Increible Al, la voz es increible, en verdad, además tiene un cierto aire de tristeza la melodía que te llega.
Love it!
Great Video; love the earlier part of the song with alternative harmony. Also good to see Al using a Takamine guitar; I have a couple of these and can testify to their great quality and good value.
I like the Jamaican folksy version also. Alan has still got it. He sounds great. So pleased that Matt is still singing with them. He takes over the falsetto parts nicely! I hope he keeps the band going. Thanks for this video, it was personable and a fun one!
great job
Talent
2020 love it 😀 👏👏👏
Nice !!!
