Good Vibrations - The Fendertones

[@charliebraxton1]

Amazing! the best Beach Boys cover band on the planet!

[@beautifuldreamer3991]

You know,when you hear this,one begins to realize just how much talent those Beach boys really had, and Brian Wilson's songwriting skills

[@beansworth]

I'm amazed at the sound engineers that balance 7 vocal mics with 10 singers, a string quartet, two guitars, bass, marimba, xylophone, two keyboards, a horn section, two percussionists, and accordion, and make it all sound good. REAL HEROES

[@terry7907]

Yes, almost as good as Brian Wilson by himself.

[@seltaeb9691]

I saw Brian Wilson & his band perform it nigh on 20yrs ago, never had this many singers tho & Brian performs it with commensurate ease. He'd be proud of this lot & good vibrations abound.

[@Ad001S]

Don't forget the drawbar organ.

[@harveykaye2550]

Generally everyone in the Brian Wilson band plays multiple instruments, as well as sings.

[@104thDIVTimberwolf]

Don't forget the theramin!

[@axiomist4488]

Damn !!! I just discovered these guys less than an hour ago and Im totally blown away. Their rendition of Sloop John B is incredible . This is the best "imitation" of the BB"s ever !!!

[@markpeacock5610]

And, they’re meticulous--hit every note, every instrument no matter how subtle.

[@rioblancoman]

Same here. Just found this and Sloop John. Never thought anybody could do this live. Incredible! Would love to see the Fendertones. Inspiring.

[@harrywinslow3946]

I'm 70 and a music lover all my life. In all of musical history two things stand out. The first time I heard Good Vibrations, and the first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon

[@jameshill3244]

It would take a grand total of 17 sessions totaling 90 hours at four different studios for the Beach Boys to complete the recording, using 70 hours of tape, working from April through September.These guys have made a great job of this doing it live in one take.Brilliant.

[@harveykaye2550]

There is a difference between compose and perform. Please read your history. Lastly when the original beach boys performed synthesizers weren’t even invented. For example, I don’t see anyone play the chromatic harmonica and where’s the Tannerman?

[@stlpaulie]

When you’re reproducing something someone else created it will always be quicker and simpler.

[@binthrdonthat]

With more guys and instruments. Duh and 70 years better audio etc....................

[@jameshill3244]

@@harveykaye2550 It's still a good performance Harvey. Hope your keeping well.

[@roberth8647]

Close your eyes and you think this is actually the Beach Boys. AWESOME job. The Beach Boys are not the easiest to copy, but these guys nailed it

[@philipwasley9229]

How anyone can thumbs down this. They’re brilliant

[@michaelmelton1704]

Totally agree! I would travel anywhere they were performing just to see them perform. GREAT COVER BAND! Really they are better than the original group that did this.

So would I 👏👏👏👏👏

[@danhoward9671]

Shout out to Mr. Herder. I cannot begin to imagine what you went through to get this and all the Fendertones videos performed and produced. Thank You for your work. Thanks to all the performers and support crew as well.

[@HLo-nd8gz]

Jesus...this is hands down the best cover I’ve ever heard and it’s fucking LIVE!!!!

[@jodafishpilot]

Words cannot express how much I like the Beach Boys and the superb covers the Fendertones have done. And LIVE!

[@OriginalPappy]

Been a Beach Boys fan all my life...these guys are awesome.

[@waynenightrunner]

You just said it for me Sir 👍

[@michaelkatzberg4995]

I just discovered the Fendertones. I hope they get back together to replay their amazing songs from the 60's. The young Beach Boys.

[@MIKELIN8]

Thanks for keeping Beach Boys music alive.

[@shelleydonovan7703]

Love it that the young ones are stepping up to the plate!

[@jamesanderson1687]

I've heard a lot of groups trying to sing this song. A very difficult song by the BB's to cover. In my mind, only the Beach Boys could do this song justice since they were the originator of the song but this version is great. My hats off to The Fendertones. You pulled it off.

[@peternewman7353]

James Anderson, I would say shear dedication and devotion to recreating good music, Surly they cannot make any profit from these live shows due to the large number of people on the stage. I remember when this came out I couldn’t stop playing it on the juke box in my local coffee bar.

[@cmissshelleymichelle]

@@peternewman7353 This show was a charity show for funraising purposes. Nobody get paid anything. And they also don't tour either. They just make these videos for fun. It's a fun hobby for them.

[@kevinferguson3196]

I think they do it better just because of the greater number of singers doing harmony

[@briandavis8939]

James Anderson 💯Rty

[@phodopussungorus]

It is great, but you can hear that the vocals are just not as smooth as the BBs. Really close, but these guys are great and it makes me appreciate the BS even more. All good.

[@WalterCondi-us3im]

I have to tell you guys, not only are you all amazing but I think you all are also so awesome to keep the music of the beach boys alive and believe me I know it's not easy to do what you guys are doing! That is amazing talent right there. I am stoked!!!! You guys are a fucking blessing! Swear it! Thanks for all your heard work, can't wait to see you guys in concert someday, I want tickets for met life stadium in New Jersey! LOVE you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hmackie6823]

This is beyond a cover tune,this is a career!

[@SurfCityVideo]

Out side the Beach Boys I don't know when or where you would hear better. Crushed it....

[@cobrajetter]

Three and a half minutes of pop perfection! It doesn’t get any better than this!

[@TomandBoo]

14 people don't appreciate how good these guys are. I'm a fan.

[@seltaeb9691]

As a Beatles fan, here in Britain, I heard Good Vibrations in 1966. It was the greatest song of the 60s & years later Britain voted it thus. Beating the Beatles takes some doing but you darn done it.

[@rodneyhone2220]

So good to hear from them all good again hear from them life goes so fast

[@lindabergman3127]

Fantastic as always! Fendertones please come to Kansas city❤❤❤❤

[@ayronsmama05]

I have chills so bad my skin is crawling. Damn good!!

[@johnfarrell5075]

why hasn't these talented people not been put onto a CD

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Bought this record in ' 66 when it made No. 1 in the UK, another fabulous cover from these extremely talented guys !

[@ddlargo69]

This is a difficult song to cover, EXCELLENT!!!

[@richarddalkranian3261]

Just became aware of the fendertones. Amazing, and it's all done live without overdubs. And no auto-tune, thank God!

[@carlosliwanagtorres4932]

One of the best BB’s cover, well done, Fendertones...

[@Mike583]

Wow,they did this in 2004? Hard to believe it's 15 years later & I'm just discovering these awesome guys! Love your renditions!!!♡

[@jackyfreeman5530]

I'm listening to this in 2013!!! I'm a huge BB's fan, have been since I heard them back in the mid '60's, and I've never heard anyone else do such great cover versions of their music.🙂🙂

[@rioblancoman]

19 years here. Just today I heard them. I'm ashamed of my ignorance! Blown away by this band.

[@Wulfdane]

The only group I've ever heard do the Beach Boys justice.

[@allensaunders449]

they don't do covers they do wonderful recreations

[@drrobert119]

Great cover band on Beach Boys...makes you realize what a genius Brian is and how what sounds so simple is quite complex requiring many musicians and voices to reproduce.All your covers are faithfull to the originals. The best on youtube.....Great job Fendertones.Excellent!!!!

[@philatkinson3955]

They are amazing...the craft of music is set in practice, perfection, and passion...they nailed it! Peace to the Fendertones! Do more!!!

[@jaywatson9007]

These guys are bloody amazing.

[@williefinn4932]

amazing the number of people it took to reproduce that sound...well done...the crowd loved it.

[@motorcop505]

Willie Finn For their albums, the Wrecking Crew (a legendary group of studio musicians who did most of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound background work)assisted to get that full sound.

[@shmulikanglister]

If there is ever a perfect cover band, The Fendertones might be it.

[@PhilTraynor]

I truly thought this song was one of the few that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to do a faithful cover. This is an amazing, nuanced, and truly spectacular cover. I hope you win the WC covers contest!!!

[@tonydempster8530]

I have just came across these guys they are brilliant first time I have heard their music in scotland

[@edwinherder]

It is a real Theramin. Ours was built by our keyboard player and his brother. It was as thoroughly researched as possible, and is as close to the original, built by Bob Whitsell for Paul Tanner, as they could make it. Working from photos of Paul Tanner with his, and gathering other information from people involved in building the first ones, they tried to duplicate the size and construction of the original. The only thing they couldn't find were the actual components used in the pulley system.

[@OverlandOne]

Very well done. I miss the Fendertones.

[@showtime951]

So good. So, so good. So, so, f-ing good. Bravo!

Will the group ever get together again ? They would sell out tickets for every show!

[@johnclarkwillcox516]

All of these comments ... are a testament to the extreme focus of The Fendertones - the only group who could actually duplicate what the Beach Boys did with exactitude.

[@harrietgate]

Utterly superb. Listen to them every day. Love to see all the separate parts (vocal and instrumental) blend together. You appreciate even more the complexity of Brian’s music.

[@margotbronski6847]

I read (I think on their Facebook) that they don't put out commercial recordings. Apparently they get together when the mood strikes and make video recordings. That's kinda neato.

[@bladesmark1]

2 people didn't like this wow ...... What is there not to like? This is the best ever beach boys tribute act out there, i've heard a few cover bands but they don't come anywhere near as good as these guys 10/10

[@egbertsouce3895]

Stevo 1971..........Maybe they didn't care for the bass singer? He doesn't sound so great, especially when he comes in at 0:26 and in other spots. 7-22-17

[@Eric-kw2bv]

If you mean the slight drop-off at the end of the word Egbert...He's probably been told to do that to allow other voices to come through. Both ends of the singing voice spectrum are normally stronger than the others in the middle.

[@egbertsouce3895]

No, that's not what I mean. When bass singer in dark shirt comes in at 0:26, he sounds a bit off-key to start, and seems to be bellowing, just a tad. Could be sharper; but he's not overpowering other voices. If you listen closely, you should be able to hear what I mean. They're real good--but I'm tough; and Brian wouldn't let that slide too often !! 8-7-17

[@rsaavedra6525]

Unlike Sloop John B, for example (where they nailed it), voices here aren't that great and the bass singer definitely lowers the overall quality a lot. Besides, there are a few voices out of tune here and there (way more out of tune than in the original)

[@forthorton]

The drum pattern is completely wrong.

Good job. The falsettos at the end are a tough assignment. Whoever sang the part can take the vise grips off the gonads now!

[@jw0stephens]

Falsetto is tricky and hard to sing. Look for an interesting bit on an episode of Daryl Hall's show from his house. Pat Monahan does the run thru w/o the falsetto because it's difficult. Thought that was interesting. Matt Jardine makes it look easy in the band touring with Brian Wilson and his father Al. Fantastic singer. Does all the parts as need be as well.
