HUUUUUGE Musical Event going down... TONIGHT in London (Brian Wilson)

<< < (3/4) > >>

Trauma-san:
As soon as I see one, I'll let you know.  I'm checking about every couple hours, lol.  

Trauma-san:
I downloaded the album, pretty damn good, but it's a horrible quality recording from the audience that is muddled and hard to hear.  It's crazy, he'll do a song and the crowd goes nuts applauding and the next song just starts at the end of the first song, so they don't even stop, they just keep playing music for 45 minutes.

Trauma-san:
Now, he's singing this awesome song about 'the barnyard' with the background singers baying and neighing like sheep, lol.

CharlieBrown:
Trauma can you put up the tracklisting or what the file is called with it all on as all i've been able to find is one of the bootlegs thats been going round for years. Cheers if you do.

Trauma-san:
Sure.  It starts out with "Prayer" which is an acapella song without lyrics. Figure that one out.

The harmonies are great, so the crowd gives a rousing ovation, and then Brian just jams into "Heroes and Villians", but it's arranged differently than before.  It starts off with the "dit diddy, dit diddy, dit diddy How I love my girl!" part from the bootlegs, and then goes into 1,2,3,4! "I've been in this town so long...." from the released version of H&V.  From there, they play around with different themes of it and stretch the song into about a 6 minute song.  

Next track is "Do you like worms?", but with more lyrics over the timpani, more melodies, and much more of the "bicycle rider" theme over the top of the song.  You'll know what I'm talking about if you have the boot.

It then goes into "Baryard" with Brian singing "Out in the barnyard the chickens  do their number" and going on with crazy lyrics like that, while the guys in the background act like sheep and shit.  

It immediately switches into "Old Master Painter/You are my sunshine" almost exactly like the original recording.  Sounds really depressing, and is really short like the bootleg.

The strings glide down straight into "Cabinessence" almost exactly as the original bootlegs.  

Supposedly what this section is all supposed to be about, or one rumour I've heard is... the prayer at the beginning is just to show the album is spiritual.... the first song, "Heroes and Villians" is about his family (fictional)... He's talking about this girl he met, Margarita, he married her, they had kids (heroes and villians).  She dies, and he goes on living for the kids.  At the end of that song, they flash back in time, and "do you like worms" is about life before the girl, Barnyard & Cabinessence are about his life on the farm with her, etc. and "Old Master Painter" is her funeral.

They stop for about 10 seconds, applause, then break into "Wonderful" which sounds... "Wonderful".  Damn, the harmonies and shit are just beautiful, so awesome, like the original version, but watch out, because there's about 10 versions out there.    At the end, it basically buts right up against "Look".  "Look" is the one that sounds like Good Vibrations, and has the "duh duh duh duh DUH, duh duh duh...." thing from Good Vibrations in it played staccato on the harpsichord.  Look stops about half way through, where they fit in the "Child is the father of the MANnnnnnn" loop from the song of the same name.  This is probably the best part of the album.  At the end of "Look"... the bass starts throbbing in, and the complete "Child is the father of the man" harmonies break in, pretty awesome shit.  At the end of that, It breaks straight into "Surf's Up!" with orchestra.  The end of "Surf's Up" has "Child is the father of the man" butted up to the end of it, also... which sounds amazing.  "I heard the word, a children's song... "A CHILLLLDRENNNNS SONNNNNNGGGGGG..... THE CHILD, THE CHILD, THE CHILD IS THE FATHER OF THE MANNNNNN"  Beautiful.  

Stops here for another 10 seconds or so, rousing applause, and then he breaks into the mythical "elements" section.  This was the biggest mystery around SMiLE.  It starts off with "I'm in Great Shape", with vocals (which were never on any boots)... breaks into "I wanna be around Friday Night", which explains why the songs are often called the same thing.  This turns into "Woodshop" where Brian pulls out an electric drill, and the band puts down their instruments and plays hammers and wood and saws and shit.  Pretty wild.  The strings keep playing, and the Brian breaks into "Vega-tables" which sounds pretty similar to the bootleg versions, with both of the outros played simultaneously... fits perfectly.  The end of "Vega-tables" breaks straight into "Holidays", with lyrics.  Segues smoothly into "Wind Chimes", pretty much like the unreleased SMiLE version.  This ends with all the fury and splendor which is "Ms. O'leary's cow" followed by "FIRE".  The orchestra put on red firemen's hats for this part like they did in 1967 to record it.  "FIRE" fucking THROBS, it sounds like you're in the middle of hell, and the band played this part the loudest of the entire album.  There are vocals to it, but they're just "doo doo AHH AHH's" and stuff over the top in harmony.  "FIRE" ends with the "Water-water-wata-water-water" chant from "I love to say Da-Da", with Brian going "Is it hot as hell in here, or is it me? It really is a mystery... if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take my misery..." and other lyrics... and he goes "I wish I was really at the BEACH" and when he says "Beach" the whole mood changes to a bright little upbeat song, the part from "I love to say Da Da" before the wah wah part.  Then it breaks into the "Wa Wa" with the backup band singing "Blue Hawaii" over the back of it.  More lyrics about water.  Turns into a nice little "Down in Blue Hawaii... so far away from Blue Hawaii... I don't know what I'd do if you should die..." pretty beautiful stuff.  Builds up at the end, to a strings suite, With ascending "AHHHH's" like on Prayer, which are interupted by Brian going "AHHHH" and running straight into "GOOD VIBRATIONS", with unreleased vocals from an early version than that released.  There's also a slow section with the band going "dum, de dum, dum, de dum... " The band goes nuts and rocks out the end of the album, ending with ascending "AHHHHH'... AHHHHH HHH AHHHHH" harmonies to close out the album.  

There's no real tracklisting because it's all jsut one big file, and the album can only kind of be divided up into 3 suites, since there's no real 'songs' it's all a fluid movement between themes.
