The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

The Beach Boys came to my city in April of that same year. I was sick in the children's ward of a hospital and they came to visit the kids. I remember sitting in my bed when cameras were flashing in the outside hallway. Suddenly, Mike Love and Dennis Wilson came into the room I shared with another kid. Mike Love came over and chatted with me and we laughed that we were both named "Mike." He gave me an autographed photo of the band that I still have. They invited all those who could to come into the hallway were they performed a couple of acapela versions of their songs. It was a great memory for a seven-year-old. :-)

People need to understand just how hard this song was to pull off live. All those complex arrangements, harmonies, different instruments used... there are a total of 29 musicians on the original recording, including the six Beach Boys. Nowadays, you could easily include all those arrangements in a live version, but back then they had to make it work with just 2 guitars, a drumkit, a keyboard, and an electro-theremin. They were able to pull off a stripped-down version very well, and they deserve a lot of credit for that.
@nessy9022 9 ай бұрын
The difficulty pulling it off live is quite audible. It feels like a real missed opportunity, in that if they'd augmented the band with a bunch of pros, as The Beatles did for the live broadcast of All You Need is Love, 6 months later, this could've been an absolutely stellar performance. Mike Love in particular looks to be really struggling with his instrument while trying convey good vibrations - in that he's playing it OK for the most part but his vocal isn't quite hitting the spot it could be if he didn't have to also contend with that.
@ongogablogian8568 3 ай бұрын

The song had been composed in the studio two years earlier with no Beach Boys playing instruments. Instead it was all studio musicians in different studios. You can tell the Beach Boys worked very hard to practice and arrange this version for the 5 of them to sing and play live. A year earlier, they attempted a live recording of this song in Hawaii and it was much rougher with the time changes and such.

Actually, Carl did play guitar and Brian did play tack piano and both played percussion( Carl played the shaker and Brian, the tambourine) on the studio version. Dennis, in turn, played the Hammond organ we hear on the second bridge ( the "gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin with her" part) also on the studio version. All of them sang on the track, either singing lead vocals or backing vocals and in the case of Brian, Carl and Mike, both.

I love how the reverb along with Mike's voice makes it sound like Mike is sadly singing to himself alone a big room or perhaps a large cave.

This sounds like a kind of live performance which is really unbelievable! Such o complex stuff was not intended for live playing, which makes this guys even more valuable!

It’s hard to believe that during this performance Brian Wilson, the man who wrote this song, was institutionalized. Mind blowing..

One of the greatest songs ever. These guys are rock Gods of course like the e.g. Beatles, Stones, Supremes, Four Tops, The Miracles. My goodness the music from that time was epic. Can’t get enough of the song and music, it DEFINITELY makes you feel 👍GOOD !

I grew up in the 80s. Those Sunkist commercials were how I was introduced to the song. Goes to show how the use of a top 40 song in a commercial can almost spoil the song, because when I finally heard Good Vibrations, I thought of Sunkist. I've pretty much forgotten about those commercials, almost.

@@thehighllama8101 so many soda commercials had catchy jingles! Feelin 7up I'm feelin 7up, a&w root beer's got that frosty mug taste, you're the pepsi generation. As I recall, the sunkist commercial also had a part where a voice says "bubbly bubbly bubbly". Ooo we ooo, Sun-kist. I was more of an orange crush kid myself.

Saw this on a "Beach Boys Weekend" on VH1 in 1988, and I've never looked back from loving Fender Stratocasters (Al's) and Telecasters (Carl's) as my favorite guitars. I have loads of Strats and Teles to this day, yet they're still my dream guitars and I want more of them because of this particular video!
