The Mellotron Group

Twenty years ago, Brian was still getting over the ravages of cocaine use  
on his voice. I remember seeing him on SNL and being horrified. Back in the  
early nineties I used to fantasize that one day he would return to the 
stage.  His voice is better now than I ever hoped. Sometimes I close my eyes 
when he  sings a song like Caroline No or Please Let Me Wonder and I can still 
hear  the voice that grabbed me 48 years ago.

I was watching TV  late one night recently and saw some program about the 
behind the scenes  preparations to have Brian Wilson and his band perform 
Smile in  London. 
Given how bad I’ve  heard him sound on some late night talks shows, and how 
nervous he was ramping  up to the big opening night…I was surprised how 
good he  sounded. 
He looked like he was  having fun doing it too. 
Couldn’t help but  notice Paul McCartney and George Martin in the audience 
giving him a standing  ovation at the conclusion (Good Vibrations…Brian’s 
version)

No, they don't  but Brian Wilson's band does. 

It's a bit of a slavish cover of the  song, though. 

Talking of which, I now have 'The SMiLE Sessions' as  of two days ago.  I 
think I've played it through about 8 times now.  :-)
