The layering and blend of the vocals are so perfect that even without the instruments, these songs still sound quite full. What a genius Brian Wilson really is!
So true. It's become a cliche saying, but it's true... Brian was/is a pure musical genius. People hail Spector, but I think Brian was a bit superior, though influenced by Phil. Brian's creativity was something amazing.
@@chrisPAT03 People like Lennon/McCartney, B Wilson, and Richard Carpenter were blessed with an ear which could conceive of heavenly sounds and know how to gather the vocals and instruments to make it happen. In the case of Wilson and Carpenter, they could take a song that already existed (Sloop John B, Close to You, We've Only Just Begun) and work their special magic.
@Huawei is a criminal organization. I definitely agree. Of course Brian is known for his amazing falsetto, and he was the driving force and brains behind The Beach Boys, but his Bros, Mike and Al were absolutely essential to the band's success.
Well, Brian took his intervals from The Four Freshmen so it could be argued that they are the best. Endless arguments. ua-cam.com/video/6n2BUZtD688/v-deo.html
I really believe there is something special about ‘family groups’. Since they are all related their voices just blend perfectly to create the most beautiful harmonies. They all have some the best harmonies I’ve ever heard; The Beach Boys (Wilson brothers), The Bee Gees, and the Everly Brothers.
I’ve played music with my brother (who is 11 years older than me) before and I can tell you from experience that the family dynamic means a lot. Me and my brother come up with the same ideas at the same time, even while improvising. I bet if Brian, Dennis and Carl weren’t brothers but just friends the Beach Boys would never have happened
I love the Beach Boys and The Beatles, but in my opinion the harmonies of The Beach Boys are superior. I think you can really hear the difference in acapella clips of both groups.
This is great. I would love to hear the vocals to Don't Worry Baby isolated like this. That initial harmony at the opening of the song hits me in a way that I can't describe. There are no words that can properly capture that feeling.
Jeff Foster may he RIP was a surprise to me when I got to see them with John Stamos a few years ago and Jeff sang Don’t Worry Baby. It was as close to Brian’s original and amazing. Hearing the song in full fidelity too never heard how deep the lows would be especially during the break. Stamos was vibing on the drums with the steady floor hits on top of the bar. Man. Good memory and experience
Congratulations on creating this precious video! For the first time I could see the immense richness and quality of the vocal work of this band! God bless you
Listening to their outtakes you hear how strict but brilliant Brian was. Especially conducting all of them. Any isolated tra KS by them truly are gold.
blaise rascoe that’s Mike Love’s only real contribution to the the song, lyrically and vocally. Sucks right? Sucks even worse when you learn that he sued Brian for a songwriting credit for the one lyric “goodnight baby, sleep tight baby”
@@carterc9171 Mike sings the well maybe then part however Brian did record it doing it and decided to use Mike's version. Brian's was and is way better. Look on UA-cam Mike Love vs Brian Wilson.
+William Knell Hahaha- For a while I had Wouldn't it be Nice in a 5.1 mix (before family chaos, anyway) and when that part came along- hearing it for the first time that way- it almost literally knocked me off my feet. Mind. Blown. as the kids say...
Angel - Thank you for posting this video. I am 56 and love the Beach Boys, oddly enough your video contains 2 of my top Beach Boys songs. I was literally sitting here with tears in my eyes. Beautiful!
That "ooh, yeah yeah" at 3:40 is amazing! How Brian snuck in that complex chord on the 2nd "yeah"...just SO good. And very good audio fidelity for 1966.
Absolutely no one has ever done anything quite so magical as some of these harmonies. I always liked the 2nd verse of Wouldn't It Be Nice and then the whole, otherworldly "Neeeever Ending" part. Makes my hair stand every time, and I've listened to it thousands of times.
The a capella mixes are the best part of The Pet Sounds Sessions. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is particularly amazing. The things they do behind the lead vocal are so entertaining and tonically perfect, you really don't miss the music. Then you can go and listen to the music-only track and it's like you get two songs in one!
I was going to say that... The vocals and harmonies on Wouldn't It Be Nice are just incredible. And yeah, God Only Knows and Sloop John B are amazing... AND... ok... Wouldn't It Be Nice is at the end of this clip. So good. :-) Funny thing on Wouldn't It Be Nice... it has an accordion in there - you'll hear them working on the accordion part during the instrumental tracks of the sessions... I never noticed until listening to the "Sessions" CDs...
The record companies need to do this for all BB stuff up to Holland. Apply the Stack o' Tracks formula to everything from '65 onwards, or even earlier (or even later). The Beach Boys may be the only band that this is a valid thing for - and who are you gonna compare them to? Only the fabs.
Auto tune would have ruined it. Part of the beauty of big harmony vocals is the slight imperfections of pitch. Slightly wide is what makes harmonies big and fat. Auto tune eliminates that.
@@Richard-ec8xy Asshole. Just jealous because rarely can a singer today hold a note without the help of ridiculous, atrocious autotune? Even cranked to the degree of robotic sounds, like 90% of pop and hip hop shit today.
Very nice tribute to all and especially the departed boys of summer. Saw them all together shortly before Dennis passed. One of the best concerts ever. Feel very fortunate to have taken advantage of the opportunity to see the entire group, even Brian was there, which had been rare. Overall a great and now treasured good time.
35 years old, I listen to everything and feel like I have lived long enough to understand what great music is. I DARE ANYONE TO COMPARE ANYTHING THAT IS OUT THERE TODAY TO THIS MUCH TALENT. This is pure vocal gold, I personal believe that there is a huge mass of people out there that are just aching to hear something like this from anyone new.
Thank you for posting the wonderful photos of Carl Wilson.I think he'd be amazed at how missed he is missed and how much his stature has grown since he died.He never got the recognition he deserved during his lifetime.But the more people realize how revolutionary the Beach Boys really were the more they realize how crucial Carl was to that incredible sound.He was a unique talent in his own right and a wonderful human being."Speak a man;s name and he is alive".Carl will live for eternity....
God only knows what the world would have been like without them! They cross generational boundries and make life seem like an amazing gift. Their music takes you to a sweeter place and time filled with ocean breezes and salty air.........greatest American Rock band ever period!!
I love to hear all the different components in a song. I love to find the videos of just the bass parts, the guitar parts, the singing parts. So cool to hear them separately. Thank you for doing this.
I get lost in the depths of their voices…I close my eyes and I can see the sun setting over the ocean…I feel at peace as if I’m walking through a seaside cathedral…Without over thinking it, whenever I hear The Beach Boys sing in harmony I can feel Jah’s presence in the waves breaking on the shore…
I'm 63 and I still get tears every time I listen to these cuts. Something about the sound, the message that touched me so deeply as a kid, and instantly takes me back to a time of innocence and joy.
I can listen to this a million times and NEVER get bored, just AMAZING. This proves God exists. At least there must be something out there because this harmonies and melodies are from a higher level filtered by such a great human being like Brian Wilson is.
Thank you so much for posting. This is amazing. The Beach boys music always makes me happy and takes me back to my youth now my kids love them too. They are and always be the ultimate feel good summer music.
Thank for posting this, I 1st heard the BB when I was about 7, bought best of the beach boys 2 when we got our 1st record player, about 10 years old, changed my life! Never looked back, thanks Brian!,
The human voice as an instrument so unique in each individual blended together like orchestral instruments, with that studio echo, truly amazing that touches your soul!
So much more magical with a good pair of headphones to really hear it. Absolutely beautiful. Brian Wilson is a genius to be able to think of all these beautiful melodies. Brilliant!
The best vocal group of all time. Brian wrote, performed and produced most of it but combined they created an unforgettable sound and songs. I still listen nearly everyday!
close your eyes and go back to when you first heard these harmonies......................................how could it not touch your core and become a part of who you were to become. Brian Wilson is a genius. Carl's voice like an angel. Phenomenal works for me.
I love the Beach Boys so much. My daddy turned me on to them as a little kid. They were just about my dad's favorite music group. They harmonized so beautifully. True artists. Thanks KarmicOmen for posting this! =)
Born in Tulare calif 1961. We frequented Huntington beach and Long Beach thru the 60s and on those beautiful days beach boys on the radio. Ahh what memories!!!
Here in 2020! Happy New Year from Texas! Thank you so much for the upload!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tom Petty: Dennis had the voice of an angel. Everyone in the world including John and Paul: Brian is a genius!
Genius, Genius, Genius. Brian not only arranged the vocals, but also arranged the instruments with a another group of artists. This is so beautiful - much more appreciated when isolated. Thank you, thank you for putting this out there. Well worth it.
Shadow Knight - that's very true. I remember groups like The Lennon Sisters and others whose names I can't think of right now. I do remember the Beatles saying they were so jealous of the Beach Boys because nothing The Beatles did could match the harmonies of the Beach Boys.
OMG, I love these a capella breakdowns. I can listen with supreme joy to these versions every day, for the rest of my life ... a great many experts have declared this song in its holistic final version, to be thebest, most 'prefect' rock music song ever .. hard to disagree ...
Usually, I make the comment that someone has too much time on their hands when they do something like this. This, on the other hand is beautiful. I enjoy most types of music, but the beach boys were my first favorite group & they are still one of my favorites. I have and always will enjoy their harmonizing. Thank you, young lady for sharing this with everyone and reminding me of the joyful memories of my youth. May the good Lord bless you!
WOW! I must say that it is so great to see all of these wonderful comments by you people. These musicians where simply the best in my opinion with their arrangements, vocals, song structure, lyrics... AMAZING! I wish UA-cam had a "like" button for the comments left ;). Bless you all!
When you've got it, you've got it and the Wilson boys had it! Their harmonies and style far surpassed the sounds of The Four Freshmen, one of their early influences. Thanks so much for sharing this video!
The Beach Boys' harmonies are so magical, and they make me wanna cry.
Ik this is random but im watching south park rn & i think it’s hilarious i stumbled across your comment bc of your pfp 🤣🤣

@@jacobdiaz2216When I posted this comment I had Kenny. I changed it to Pink Floyd like a year ago

Paul McCartney said God Only Knows is the best pop song ever written. I'd have to agree. Top 3 at the very least.
What would be the other 2 to you?
Hmmm....tough choice. But my personal favorites would be Penny Lane and Walk Between Raindrops by Donald Fagan.
Overrated song
Up there with Smokey Robinson’s “My Girl”
You’ve obviously never heard of charli xcx
This gives me goosebumps, and i've heard these songs 1000s of times

Jason Harlow I hear you. This is the music from my era, and I truly miss those days.
Anyone who doesn't truly appreciate the genius of Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys) needs to listen to this. Beautiful!
Mike Love is one of them
Mike ruined it
Off hand I cannot think of any ML addition to a BW song that improved it.
NetCerpher He had a good voice but it's always the same sounding

met carl circa 1982, what a warm nice guy...I miss him dearly.
wow i thought his leed playin was cool .. him and mike i liked the best.. I shook BB Kings hand back in 1989 as he was walking out of a concert!
I think he was a good man very desunt person I've herd to many peaple say what a great guy he was
I heard from the other band members Carl was very nice. Carnie said in a comment.
Carl had a sweet soul of a voice.
This is great. I would love to hear the vocals to Don't Worry Baby isolated like this. That initial harmony at the opening of the song hits me in a way that I can't describe. There are no words that can properly capture that feeling.

Arly, fiquei super feliz em ver esse seu comentário num post de Beach Boys! Sou sua seguidora aqui hehehe. Realmente, música de outra dimensão!
Purchase the _Pet Sounds Sessions_ boxed set, which is what this came from.
I don’t know if I was the only one, but listening to this was a pretty spiritual experience.
Most certainly not alone.
Piscis?
You have been Spiritualized!
These harmonies are so incredible. Shows the true musicianship of these guys. Thanks for creating such a youtube production.

Beach Boys: *hold my surfboard*
I mean both is good
@@bil2340 exactly
Apparently when the Beatles heard Pet Sounds they said Oh no, we can’t hold a candle to this. So they wrote Sgt. Pepper as a response.
Carl had such a beautiful voice.
Nobody has ever captured the feelings or angst of being very young like the Beach Boys. Their lyrics say it exactly the way it is.
That "ooh, yeah yeah" at 3:40 is amazing! How Brian snuck in that complex chord on the 2nd "yeah"...just SO good. And very good audio fidelity for 1966.
My god !!! That last part of Wouldn't it Be Nice, when they close it, was incredible. What a beautiful feeling it gives me !
Excellent. Voices to make the angels sigh, or weep!
R.I.P. Carl.
Rock On, Brian.
