It looks like this will be a very good movie. There were only one Elvis and there is only one set of Beach Boys. Brian Wilson is said to be a genius. I know he wrote some great songs and harmonies that have stood the test of time.
Did you know he was born deaf in his right ear? Go see it . . .

His songs along with the entire Beach Boys Band sound are at the top of my all time favorites. Frankie Valley, Bee Gees, Abba, Journey - all the groups with incredible harmonies and amazing recording engineers - as well as amazing lyrics and catchy melodies. What are some of yours ?

Looking forward to streaming it. There is also a really good TV movie made about them years ago - back when they still made really good TV movies and mini-series - I don't remember the name of it though.

Some many years ago, maybe as much as ten or more, there was a documentary screened on UK TV about Brian, I remember it being very interesting.

I'll rent it as soon as it comes to Netflix. I don't go to the theater anymore. I measured the volume in one at 110db between explosions, enough to cause hearing damage to my most important musical instrument - my ears.
Also, I was a kickstarter supporter for The Wrecking Crew movie, and I'm supposed to get my DVD this month. I'm excited.

Was it Summer Dreams? It is on YouTube.
I am seeing Love & Mercy in an hour. The movie reviews have been oustanding, some even claiming it will do well at the Oscars.
I'll let ya know.

The movie was great, well worth the admission price. The actors were fantastic.
So, how do you get a Harpsichord type sound in a Beach Boy song recorded when you don't actually have a Harpsichord? You use women's bobby-pins scattered across the strings of a piano.
Genius.

Frankie Valley, Bee Gees, Abba, Journey - all the groups with incredible harmonies and amazing recording engineers - as well as amazing lyrics and catchy melodies. What are some of yours ? One of my favorites, the fifth studio album from the English progressive rock band 'Yes', a three track album called "Close To The Edge". It featured an 18 minute title track on side one, and two songs, "Siberian Khantru" and "And You and I", on side two. My two favorite tracks are "Close To The Edge" and "And You and I". Another of my favorites is the fourth album by Seals & Crofts called "Summer Breeze". My two favorite tracks from that Album are "Summer Breeze" and "The Boy Down the Road". Who could ever forget the Beach Boys "I get around", "Louie, Louie", "Barbara Ann", "California" "In my room", "Kokomo", "Dreamin'", "California Girls".... Just too many to name. Jeaux

Trax, I'm so looking forward to the movie. I think you'll really enjoy these videos. This one is a video of them in studio: Good Vibrations the Lost Studio Footage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVlSVkzbJDA It's funny watching Brian "air drum" along with the great Hal Blaine. These next two just show photos but you get to hear the session in progress - the music arrangement is just incredible by itself and in part 2 near the end you'll hear the vocal tracks with and without music - awesome. Behind The Sounds: God Only Knows Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVUBpzlELOgBehind The Sounds: God Only Knows Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCTVcNsJGX0There's also a behind the sounds on YT of Wouldn't It Be Nice you'll see in the search results on the side when these come up. Enjoy!

My wife and I saw it this weekend. Highly recommended. The Wrecking Crew is actually given props in the movie quite a bit.
Colorado Springs has a small theatre which plays more independent and art-type movies. We see 3 or 4 movies there a year and for the most part we've really enjoyed them.
One of the trailers played before Love & Mercy was for a movie called "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl". I've never seen a trailer that actually choked me up in the 60s or so like that one.
After several have seen Love & Mercy, let's check back in here. Don't want to spoil it for others who plan on seeing it.

Enjoy! Thanks Josie. The studio one was new for me. I appreciate the links, thanks! Also, in my original post I said that Brian Wilson had been born deaf in his right ear. That was mis-quoted, he wasn't born deaf in his right ear. There is another reason why he is deaf and I don't want to spoil it here. Trax

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
