…with this man around.
Especially when he does things like this. This is a truly “once in a lifetime event”… I thought seeing Pet Sounds live was special. This is what many Beach Boys fans have waited almost 40 years for. SMiLE, his first full project after Pet Sounds, was never released, and no-one really knows what the complete record sounded like.
The fact that he is revisiting something he believed in but didn’t have the courage to release at the time (due to his insistence on keeping ‘good vibes’ with the rest of the Beach Boys, who didn’t approve of the direction of SMiLE) is amazing.
To quote the Capitol Records exec who he dealt with at the time:
“I think Pet Sounds was just the baby being born…”
