The fans were so loud that the Beach Boys vocals were
often drowned out to the point that before this album could be released,
the group had to go back into the studio and re-recorded some of their vocals.
The album is extensively overdubbed vocally (and two tracks, "Fun Fun Fun"
and "I Get Around," are complete studio recreations). Fred Vail, who in
1963 was a local Sacramento disc-jockey and about to become concert promoter,
it's his voice on Concert introducing the Beach Boys. At the show at which
Concert was recorded, the Beach Boys did do many of their own songs (e.g.
Don't Back Down, Be True To Your School, Surfer Girl) that didn't make the
record.
"Sacramento Remote" is the original master tape of this album. The initial attempt to record The Beach Boys in concert was made Dec. 21, 1963 in Sacramento. Those recordings apparently didn't turn out completely satisfactory, so the group's Aug. 1, 1964 shows were recorded and produced most of the CONCERT album. However, four tracks on the album are not from the 1964 shows -- "Little Deuce Coupe," "Long Tall Texan," "In My Room" and "Johnny B. Goode." The assumption is that they must be from the Dec. 1963 show, however the master tapes for those shows are missing, so there's no way to know for certain. I also should mention that two of the tracks on the CONCERT album -- "I Get Around" and "Fun Fun Fun" -- are studio recreations and not live recordings at all. Would I be correct in assuming that the "IGA" track on SOT Vol. 6 (ALL
SUMMER LONG) is actually the CONCERT recreation session? |
