The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (stereo SMiLE mix with extended "Hum-be-dum" section)

- Decided there weren't enough extended versions of GV already out there in the world, so I took the already extended SMiLE mix and looped the transcendent "Hum-be-dum" section (starting at 2:49) that I could listen to forever.
I tried to emulate what it’s like to hear this song performed live where this part is stretched to involve the audience singing along with the band.
There Is always more room for More Hum be dum
It’s the Jell-O of harmonies.
My favorite part of the song! Happy to see it extended like so!
The best reverb length in any song
I'm as obsessed by the hum-be-dum section as Brian is obsessed with Be My Baby. Really love this version!
From what I understand, that’s a very _serious_ level of obsession.
I think that that section is one of the most creative uses of sound waves humanity has ever formed
The Hum-Be-Dum extended version would have been a lot awesome in 1966-67 just like The Beatles' Hey Jude. I don't know if i'd call it "anthemic mantra", it's really "good vibrations" to enjoy as a great part of this magnificent piece.
Every time I listen to good vibrations without the hum be dum I feel like It's missing something
The "hum-be-dum" section feels like heaven is opening up
This version you made is one of my favorites, ever.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Greatest pop/rock song ever recorded!
I think the verses are the most beautiful part of the song. They're so haunting, I wish there was more. I especially love the way it starts with no introduction as if dropped from the sky
My favorite part of the song thank you so much
I love and prefer the extended Good Vibrations also
There's no meeting the sheer exuberance of their performance on this song. The joy is without bounds. I think it was the highest point they reached...and then they fell away, bit by bit.
Nah. They had more than one more resurgence of brilliance, though unfortunately no one was really paying attention at the time. The Sunflower/Surf’s Up era immediately comes to mind, and Holland was another nice little short-lived period.
They may not have quite scaled the heights of Pet Sounds or Good Vibrations again, but I definitely wouldn’t say they fell off completely after this. Not even remotely.
@@Shikta-poobah67 Bit by bit were my words and while the albums you note did cause ripples, it wasn't the same. For my money, Til I Die remains the best song Brian wrote after the SMiLE debacle and the material from that was dissipated by being spread across many of the next albums, usually rerecorded (as in Wonderful, for instance). And I might note Carl and the Passions, So Tough is a fine album.
@@PaulSmall422 Well yeah, it wasn’t the same because not only had the times drastically changed, but the Boys had been excommunicated by the burgeoning hippie elite, who were the tastemakers at the time of Sunflower’s and Surf’s Up’s release. They had been blackballed by the radio, with DJ’s receiving specific instructions to *NOT* play any new Beach Boys music. Record Stores had been instructed to not advertise any new releases. It was an insane and absurd overreaction. It had almost nothing to do with the quality of content, and almost everything to do with them being deemed ‘uncool’ by the tie-dye mafia.
As for my wording at the end of my last reply, fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply that you were saying they never once did anything great again, but I just personally thought there were a lot more great songs in the post-SMiLE era that went completely overlooked and ignored at the time. You mentioned “Til I Die”, which is one of many wonderful songs from that era. “This Whole World” is another one that for all intents and purposes _should_ have soared to the top of the charts. Several others, but I don’t want to get carried away making lists.
As for Carl and the Passions, it’s not a bad album, but not really a personal favorite. Some great tunes though. When it comes to 70’s Beach Boys, I’m personally a big fan of “Love You” and the unreleased “Adult/Child” album, though I do realize those are basically Brian solo albums presented as Beach Boys. That, and I also understand that they’re very much for niche tastes, and not everyone’s cup of tea. After those albums, I pretty much lose interest to be honest. MIU? The Light Album? Kokomo? Not for me.
yep. their ultimate peak...
Duele decirlo pero creo que Brian Wilson sí encontró el sonido que estaba buscando y no The Beatles, una sola mente pudo contra 5 o 6 que eran los de Liverpool... simplemente un GENIO.
absolutamente
Maybe it’s because he was left to himself in the studio, whereas the Beatles had each other to contend with. If this makes sense.
La competencia no era justa: Brian Wilson contra cuatro Beatles y un George Martin ¡Y aun así lo logró! Ojalá hubiera ganado con SMiLE...
Ethereal, from another world.
it's very self-referential; the sound is a literal demonstration of the meaning of the words "good vibes' -- it's so brilliant
Una obra de arte increible
Brian Wilson, find him in dictionary under "Genius"....
The first time I thought, ok well I get it, and a few more would be nice but this is just too much...The second time though I truly understood. Thank you.
The greatest pop/rock song ever made! #1
When I listen to the single version of good vibrations without to him and you dumb it’s just missing the harmonies that the Beach boys were known for and when the whole band comes together it’s amazing I love the extended mix there’s just something wonderful about this song it’s still a genius song all the way through.
Hermoso!
It’s the Be Here Now of HumBeDums…
And they’re both fantastic
@@festeringdarkness5113 true!
LOV!E!!
Is there a live version release with the Hum De Dum preformed by The Beach Boys I am aware of Brian's live version release but not the Boys
Author: can you somehow get me this track? I love this so much and want to add it to my iTunes but it’s obviously not on iTunes music. Please and thank you ❤️
Closes way to get it is Good Vibrations from the SMiLE Sessions album. That has the hum-be-dum section, and i think it is on itunes
You can always download the video as mp3 and add it

copy and...paste paste paste paste 🙂
LOVE this song, but Brian Wilson's genius needn't be tampered with - the original arrangement was perfect as-is, imho. 💖🎶
do you think this is the only version of the song that exists now? you can just not listen to this and move on, you know
There’s a better stereo version now at least. Way better though, mono kills songs.
