Good Vibrations : Brian Wilson In The Studio

With heat advisories up and down the eastern seaboard, it is safe to say summer is here. And that means the FM stations at least around here start dusting off their Beach Boys collections. In my travels this morning I heard the classic "Good Vibrations". And though many of us know the history of the song, I don't think many remember the music video.

In this video set I present to you the Good Vibrations video which has a short look at the making of the song at the end. Good Vibrations, to me is the transition piece from Pet Sounds to the 30 years unfinished SMiLE. It was released on the drug soaked substitute Smiley Smile album as Brian Wilson went into seclusion.

Though chronologically incorrect I've also added Brian Wilson's studio tapes from The Pet Sounds songs "You Still Believe In Me", "That's Not Me", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", and "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder". It is fascinating to hear the command Brian Wilson had over his musical ideas and how he articulated them to his session men and women.

Enjoy!
