Brian Wilson Concert--August 7, 2004

Brian Wilson
Cirkus, Stockholm, Sweden
August 7, 2004

The contributor writes: "Hearing 'There's no other (like my baby)' in the first acoustic set was like being brought back to the Party-sessions - it was a great version of that song. On the semi-spoken parts of 'Drive-In' Brian had real good power in his voice! Before Marcella Brian said: 'I will start with a soft intro and then we'll go on rocking.' Than he played a 50's doo-wop style intro on the piano with Taylor singing some soft backgrounds - after that the heavy guitars of Marcella started! Between the 2nd and 3rd set of Smile, Brian and Jeffrey had some sort of one-liner-conversation - very strange... Brian dedicated this concert to the Stockholm Strings and Horns. On the verses of 'Love and Mercy' some of the lyrics seemed to have been rewritten - there were some minor changes in them (and it did absolutely not feel like he was singing wrong)."
