Dennis Wilson - "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" live (10/22/66)

[@elizabethmuhleisen357]

He’s got the rough edge in his voice that’s perfect for songs such as this.

[@timtonner946]

Yes!

[@danielhewson2557]

Sounds like John Lennon's American cousin!!!

[@tinasabat7303]

He had such a beautiful voice.

[@tangobango9653]

Dennis was so underrated.

[@paulcasey6759]

By everyone, including himself!

[@corvairkid63]

@@paulcasey6759 Such a sad but true statement.

[@julianwilliams9518]

Not in my eyes he was a genius with no self confidence

[@Martin-iv6lq]

I'd say he was way overrated. He was a chump and a bad singer and bad musician.

[@kaboomerty1638]

holy shit, Best dennis vocal i’ve ever heard, idk if anyone else will agree but there’s something about this, his voice at his prime, but also has that soul in

[@rach9250]

Agree. It's masculine, soulful, and with a real musical sensitivity to it. I almost prefer him singing this song to John Lennon, and I'm a massive Beatles fan.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

@@beastybacon199you’re the complete opposite of masculine and soulful, or you’re a massive Beach Boys fan but like the Beatles version better?

[@davidspitzer454]

⁠@@Paul-dw2clthere both excellent. It’s good to have verity.

[@charleswillsonpeale5739]

Have you ever heard Dennis perform "You Are So Beautiful" ? I think he did it better than Joe Cocker. After all it;s rumored he helped write it.

[@markgagielo9947]

Lennon sounded so much better He almost whispered the song

[@JohnnyCameo]

Imagine being able to sing this well yet having two brothers who sang even better

[@Lightner445555555555]

I can't tell whether or not that's a compliment. 🤔

[@gopherstate777]

@@Lightner445555555555 I think it is. Dennis is not phenomenal but he is good and in tune. That is more than I can say for many singers today.

[@DJcool-tr1tk]

The overshadowing from his brothers was wild.

[@dogsbod]

Haha brilliant

[@flip1325]

Carl omg

[@westentrance]

I met Dennis way back when he was out promoting his POB album. It was at a Peaches record store in Dearborn Michigan. Real decent and approachable guy. We shook hands and he stood by patiently while my friend snapped a photo of us which I still have.

[@scottandvon]

Beatles fan here. Much respect to the Beach Boys. Dennis did a damn fine job here. Most impressive.

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

I remember back in about 1977, when The Beach Boys were touring with Chicago, Dennis did a solo version of "You Are So Beautiful." It was impressive and well-received.

[@michellebaker3557]

Love hearing Dennis sing 😊💕🌹

[@frankjgibb]

I saw Dennis Wilson sing this at the Boston Garden on Friday, November 26, 1965. It's the only song I remember as the crowd seemed to quiet down a bit when Dennis stepped to the front of the stage to sing it. There was so much screaming the rest of the night you couldn't tell one song from the next.

[@Lightner445555555555]

I bet they were all screaming for Dennis.

[@Paulhannan2004]

He has always been my favourite Beach Boy . And you saw him sing this on the day I was born. And I never knew it was a Friday. I like him even more now…

[@written12]

Wow, they were doing a Beatles song in the midst of the Beatles era

[@johnmitchelljr]

This is a musical treasure. Thank you.

[@MeatyPeach]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Dennis sing solo before. This is such a gem. Thank you for posting it.

[@sadmilkcollective]

if that's the case, you should check out his solo album Pacific Ocean Blue

[@MeatyPeach]

@ thank you for the rec! I will def be checking it out.

[@franktaconelli9095]

check out his solo album Pacific Ocean Blue

[@danielmcgowan5221]

"I don't know where but she sends me there" You've heard that!

[@lesleyadams4279]

This is a great version of this song. I always think of Dennis singing this when I listen to The Beatles singing it.

[@Raymond-d2l7n]

Great Beatles song cover! Dennis was the center of attraction for the ladies but yet, never one to hug the limelight.

[@HeartInThe60s]

WOW!! Best Denny vocal ever! We miss you so much !

[@KevinCrowley-l5b]

My favorite Beach Boy with bad judgement in choosing friends.

[@kathywheeler3844]

Love his version of one of my fave beatles songs love Dennis

[@ronwilson8759]

What a tremendous melodic and beautiful voice. Is there no limit to the musical talent of the beach boys? WOW

[@robertd8351]

I had heard of mutual admiration as well as rivalry between them but never heard such a heartfelt gem. Thank you.

[@gabevachon326]

Saw him with Beach Boys in 1975,Boston Garden. Dennis was wasted. Fell off the piano and broke his ankle. I love Dennis Wilson. Or did.

[@neilmccormick2064]

So much raw emotion in Dennis' voice. RIP 🙏

[@rcpmac]

Really surprised at how good this is especially for a live performance.

[@williamroccajr.9208]

I'd listen to a Wilson Brothers recording of the phone book.

[@handyrorn]

My music teacher Maxine Gardener instilled the love of music in me. So, I love the crescendo, HEY, you have to hide your love away. A play on words because you have to let it flow freely.

[@marthamorgan-silva6271]

Denny had a great voice!!! Miss you Denny!!

[@danielcastllomarfull]

😅😅😅

[@Mo_Taser]

Maybe Lennon's most underrated masterpiece.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

One of them for sure. The problem is it has been written off by people and even Lennon himself as an attempt at Dylan and people may tend to focus more on this than the quality of the song.

[@Mo_Taser]

@@illuminotmereloaded6896 I don't recall exactly what Lennon said about it, but I don't hear a lot of Dylan influence in it. I've always just thought of it as one of the early introspective songs Lennon was beginning to write.

[@Tkjj998]

​@@Mo_Taser same even though people and Lennon say that, I don't really get it

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

​​@@Tkjj998It's not obvious but It's quite influenced by Mr Tambourine Man and Blowing In The Wind.

[@joejones9520]

it's got simple yet ingenious guitar stuff going on

[@NancyObrien-e7t]

Love Dennis Singing This Song Dennis Sounds So Dam Good

[@johnschaefer2238]

In the 80’s saw The Beach Boys at the Nassau Coliseum, good show but Dennis took the solo on only 1 song and it was You Are So Beautiful. His solo was so good never understood why he didn’t sing more. RIP Dennis.

[@Ryan-on5on]

Dennis and John, two awesome souls taken from us FAR too soon!

[@judis6224]

Ryan,John was a year older when he passed.

[@OgGg-o5m]

I mean he sung do you wanna dance on beach boys ...Forever ,,,Cuddle up he ....help write you are so beautiful the song...he drums amazingy and just like his brothers and father he is a Genius!

wow its very lennon like in the smooth vibrato and dynamics

I'm sure Beatles' version was a cover too.. I may be wrong though

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

@@MrClean3381 No. It was an original Beatles song by John Lennon.

[@Y-two-K]

They also covered With a Little Help From My Friends as a whole band.

Nice, heart felt cover. 👍👍

[@kako1023]

Love this version better , Dennis sings from the heart.

[@amandagay7830]

I was a teenybopper in love with Denny from the first ... "First we start with Denny on the drums"

[@joebrewer4529]

Arguably on a serious level in the back of my mind is probably on a very serious level, the best early beach boys song. There’s almost nothing that compares to it out of those albums and then every time he took the reins, he killed it.

[@zuffin1864]

The dichotomy of receiving repeated corporal punishment for their childhood, then immediately being showered with fame, money, and the power that comes with it in their teens seems to have affected the members in different ways really negatively. I pray he's in a better place now.

[@martinlawrence1205]

thank you very much dennis

[@mitchellhughes5180]

Wow, beautiful voice

[@AprilShowers1955]

Beyond phenomenal and awesome! Dennis was terribly underrated and never fully appreciated! This definitely rivals the Beatles music!😊❤

awesome !! way to go Denny !!

[@OTseven]

Thank you for uploading this. I'd never heard Dennis sing an entire song solo, or even lead. Such a pleasure.

[@Andermander429]

He began writing songs on the Friends album and throughout the 60s and 70s. He's also had a solo album Pacific Ocean Blue and the unreleased Bambu. Fantastic albums once you get accustomed to Dennis' ragged vocals. Definitely check them out!

[@radioguy1667]

There's a track at the end of the album Today where he does.

[@arqueologomusical6676]

Great- Gary Lewis and playboys recording that song too, in 1966.

One of my favourite covers that our Boys did. All good lads! 🙂

Wow! fantastic. I only like a few Beatles covers (Junior Parker's Tomorrow Never Knows being my fave) but just discovered this great live version of You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, from 1966, by the equally great Dennis Wilson. Dennis's Forever is my favourite Beach Boys track too

[@andrewmielke4011]

Probably my favorite Beatles song, he sings it just as good as Lennon, love the beach boys

His "hey"s are a bit lacking compared to John's.

I don't want to sound too effusive or fancy in my praise, but thank you for paying such sweet and masterful homage to such a gem of a song. You are an artist. G-d bless you. Where are you now. Do you have more songs.

So sad that the best Beach Boys were lost (one way or another) the soonest

[@markstyles5103]

I didn't realize Dennis had such a great voice. He should have sang lead songs more.

[@WrayEllis]

Wow.

[@JohnBarrylizard]

This surprised me... pretty good.

[@oojudg3oo]

That was about the best cover i heard of this. And stayed really close to Lennon's (Beatles) version.

[@mikelwaters]

[@thomascamara8398]

Well done.

[@neilmccormick2064]

He sounds really vulnerable like he's really hurting inside. GBDW GBNF . ❤

[@mkr8019]

it's so crazy that pretty much anyone from the group would have made a better front man than the one they ended up with.

[@pauldrew3696]

It’s so true and one of the tragedies of the group. Brian was easily influenced on who he gave the leads to in the early days. Al, Carl, and Dennis were superior choices in every song but a few and Love could never carry a lead for an entire song like Dennis did here.

[@ms8596]

There's a lot of people that say that the Beach Boys couldn't have pulled off their early hits without Mike Love's leads. I just listened to a show in 1965 with Jan and Dean covering Beach Boys songs. Love was easily replaceable. Unfortunately, he was family, so no matter how much of a you know what he was, or how nasally his leads were, the band suffered on.

[@impalaman9707]

He reminds me a little bit of Dave Mason singing "Feelin Alright"....Yes, they both had "vocal fry", but with character!

[@georgehorner1578]

RIP

[@j.w.matney8390]

This should have been put on an album. Is this one of those songs Mike Love prevented from being heard?

[@Andrew-kc4li]

Dennis is great but in Mike Love we trust.

[@pauldrew3696]

Something about this guys voice that was so unique and different than his brothers. Should have been more involved than just as a drummer imo.

[@jfog6475]

Which concert??? Solid gold!!! He really had a beautiful voice

[@auroramariealmeara8622]

The party album.

[@dominic3980]

It's not from the Party Album, it's from their 1966 concert at Michigan State University, "Graduation Day".

[@susietigger2280]

This is from the Unsurpassed Masters Vol 10 it is the Party studio sessions

[@paulbrion2227]

Like how he sings the flute outro

[@MisterRlGHT]

What's with the spoken "Come now release your inhibitions now" mixed under the chorus at 1:43? Some kind of subliminal shit he picked up from Manson or what?

[@ms8596]

That's Mike Love speaking, being the cornball he always is. Can't stand anyone else getting attention. About as "with it" as someone from his parents' generation would be. Always known for being pretty lame, even inappropriate. This song was recorded about a year and a half before Dennis met Manson.

[@Archmagess]

Great cover.

[@a1chemist1]

Isn’t this just Dennis in the 1965 Party sessions without all the ‘party’ overdubs?

[@blainekeller6057]

Excellent cover

[@chrisbacos]

Dennis left us way too early and had much to offer music

[@johnstephen7610]

Wow, that was really good (except for the tambourine player, whoever it was, being late on a few of the beats). I didn't even know Dennis Wilson sang. Very nice.
