1
| A sweetening session for the TV special version. |
2
|
Brian inducted Leiber & Stoller, and performed an impromptu version of "On Broadway". Allegedly it was this that caused Sire records boss Seymour Stein to offer him an LP deal on the spot. |
3
| The band performed "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena". |
4
| Brian wasn't at this session. |
5
| Brian co-presented the Producer of the Year award with Michael McDonald. |
6
|
Produced by Gary Usher, Mike, Alan, Brian & Bruce added vocals to the existing Fat Boys tape. Something must have happened later on, as the only audible BB voice on the released version is Brian... |
7
| The song was co-written, and the sessions produced, by Carl. |
8
| Although present, Brian didn't perform. |
9
| Alan was ill, and absent from these shows. Brian replaced him. |
10
| Roger McGuinn appeared with the band. |
11
|
This was a Brian Wilson session, as opposed to a session for Brian Wilson. The song was released on a Woody Guthrie/Leadbelly tribute CD. |
12
| This was in fact the first of a three week series of sessions for the song. |
13
| Carl was absent, allegedly due to his upcoming wedding to Gina Martin. |
14
| The Bay State Bluegrass Band session. |
