Mike wasn't present for these sessions: he was in Rishikesh with the Maharishi in February & March, and stopped off in London for a few days on the way back.. |
|
2
|
'New Song' is in fact the mysterious 'spanish guitar instrumental', long thought to be a Smile out-take. |
|
3
|
Long thought to have been seriously disrupted by the unrest in the wake of the assissination of Dr. King, in fact this tour was barely affected at all: of the 35 dates, only 4 were cancelled with a further two being rescheduled. The original source for the story of this tour being badly affected was Nick Grillo, who was undoubtedly mis-remembering the later Maharishi tour, which was a complete fiasco. |
|
4
|
The date of this session is seriously questionable given that Dennis was touring with the band in Florida at the time. It's likely that the date was noted incorrectly and is actually March 13th. The two previous sessions are accurate, as Brian was the only BB present. |
|
5
|
The show is called off 20 minutes before the scheduled start when only 800 fans show up. The capacity of the Singer Bowl is 16,000. |
|
6
|
The Maharishi withdraws from the tour to fulfill a film contract. The rest of the tour is cancelled at a cost to The Beach Boys of $250,000. |
|
7
| These shows were all recorded. |
|
8
| These sessions were filmed and the footage used in the "I Can Hear Music" promo. |
|
9
| The vocalist on this session is unknown, but sounds about 10-12 and African-American. |
|
10
| Recorded for the Live In London album. |
|
11
| Cancelled due to poor ticket sales. |
