The Beach Boys Vocal Rehearsal Part 2

[@dr.livingstone]

Dennis: "How can I be behind when I'm on one note?" LOL

What’s the time stamp?

john kelly thanks

1:27 He makes a good point 😂

[@maplespak]

ONLY the Beach Boys, totally unique. No rock group will ever sound like the Beach Boys.

[@waynejohnston6611]

maplespak I agree.

[@MichaelsShortFilms]

The fact that they can just bust out into that amazing harmony at will is just dizzying.

[@timhancock6626]

It's called practice, and just when you think it's right you practice it again, and again until 👌

[@toniigx8]

it’s so cute hearing them all blame and get annoyed at one another

[@just4music687]

Can literally listen to "Heroes and Villains" and "Wonderful" on loop for HOURS xoxo

[@jeffclaterbaugh6415]

… and THAT folks, is exactly why they called Brian "dog ears". He can hear every note of every instrument and every vocal in every song he hears. This, despite having partial hearing loss from his idiot father hitting him.

[@cobrajetter]

a gift from God.

[@wuddude1599]

In one interview Brian said he was 96% deaf in his right since birth.

[@ns7353]

[@rbbain2589]

I like " I'm still on the first note"

[@ringodingo]

Harmony vocals were their business!

[@carlsalazar4490]

It must have been nerve taking to live up to Brian’s expectation. How he was able to instantly hear if a vocal was wrong and come up with a correction. It’s amazing to me that these vocals weren’t multi tracked but sang live to tape.

[@GolfTesla]

dedication paired with precision, and here, a lot of patience and professionalism

[@DoofsterDan]

I just came here from a clip of Brian leading a studio rehearsal of instrumental parts of God Only Knows. The complexity and pressure of perfection in multiple moving instrumental parts then doing the same with vocals is jaw dropping.

[@mr.nobody68]

2:05 "I can't hit that fuckin note!" - Dennis

[@vickielawson3114]

Sounds like a transition chord at the end of the first few takes, so this was maybe intended to lead into something different than the way it was assembled for the BW Presents Smile in 2004.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

Amazing, practice did make perfect

[@saw980]

Gorgeous!

[@cynthiarowley719]

I'm so glad they didn't erase the tape. I bet ever scrap was saved like a remnant of velvet. Brian Wilson could use it for something 😊

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

Can you imagine how amazing Brian Wilson would be if he had BOTH his ears!!!!

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

Wow, the Beach Boys with Marshalls!! (2:45)

[@bempol546]

Is this part of a song or just a vocal exercise? It's godly.

[@TheSuperTett]

Heroes and Villains from the Smile Sessions

[@timhancock6626]

Benjamin. It's called "practice makes perfect". In our choir we find that we can learn a piece in five repetitions. To get it to standard takes another fifteen or more, depending on how fussy the musical director is. You just keep going until it's right, or as right as you can get it.

[@walshy2116]

Damn, that would get old quick.

[@orcapodmedia]

No wonder they hated each other.

[@vincevirtua]

@@orcapodmedia well Brian pretty well retired from doing this much longer after these sessions like this, so I guess.

[@ComeAlongKay]

@@orcapodmediathey didn’t hate each other. Mike Love maybe had some issues but they didn’t hate each other, the Wilson brothers all loved each other from what I’ve heard and Jardine was known for being chill I think.

[@ComeAlongKay]

@@vincevirtuaand this is how they got as good as they are, also this is what musicians do they do a lot of takes particularly really beyond good ones like Brian. Most are too lazy to deal with that level of excellence I guess.

[@AnjuAndKafei]

Dear Lord I can’t believe that I just heard MIKE LOVE tell one of the other Beach Boys to “sing from your throat” Mike was born with an extended nasal cavity that acts as his ‘throat’ with which he uses to “sing”

[@1401minstrel]

Yes, and singing from your throat is the quickest way to ruin your voice.

[@SnoW-wc2rw]

“Somebody hit a bad note” It was me :/

[@Pimp-Master]

at 3:27, the picture. Oh my, that looks horrific! I'm keeping it.

[@timoteo950]

The only surfer, Dennis, is in decent to good shape.

[@natiquinn830]

I think it looks great, they look like they're enjoying themselves 😊 it's from the Zuma Beach photo shoot

[@larrylewis5721]

Sounds slightly speeded up, here.

[@MichaelsShortFilms]

It's being sung faster

[@larrylewis5721]

+MichaelsShortFilms Still sounds more like speeded up....their talking between singing is a bit too rapid for normal chat and sounds just a touch "chipmunk"-y. I'ts not important. And I'm not taking anything away from their talent, of course...as you note, that they can "bust out" singing like that is indeed amazing.

[@daisyjane1070]

I've heard that some singers do that to check their harmonies. Apparently the bum notes stand out more when you play it a little fast. I've never heard about the BB's doing that though.

[@NOWtheband]

It is.

[@matthewme8311]

beatles couldnt even come close to the BBs

[@TheStarclipse]

True!

[@johnsimanungkalit4770]

Stop comparing stuffs between them. There are so many things The Beach Boys never done (can't be done) what The Beatles had done. These 2 bands are godly fabulous

[@SnoW-wc2rw]

@@johnsimanungkalit4770 definitely agree both are fantastic on their own way and that’s all that matters

[@fetobeatle]

😂😂😂 the beatles armonies are flawless mister.

[@ComeAlongKay]

Agreed. They also really took from The Beach Boys arrangement and vocal harmony wise.

That's Carl---------------leading the group------------------at least, I think it is. It may be BW-------at times, it IS BW, AT TIMES, IT'S CARL.

it’s brian, the tape is just sped up 😂

[@waynejohnston6611]

I have everything Beach Boys and everything is good especially the smiley smile album. getting hungry is weird but I liked it. Wayne Johnston

[@MrWackypackages]

What year is this?

[@Jasandcam]

1966

[@waynejohnston5295]

One time I had myself believing Sloop John B is a pet song and guess what it is on the Pet Sound album.

[@waynejohnston6611]

I can play and sing like the Beach Boys. It's easy. especially when I play and sing their music since 1986. Wayne Johnston
