YEah...
"Brian Wilson Concert last night...Smile is one of my favourite Beach Boys Albums" yeah, cos the point about Smile, right, is no-one's actually HEARD IT...cos they never finished it...cos the concert you were at, right, was the first time ANYONES HEARD IT...(or am I wrong...did I miss the point?)
And fancy all those OLD people daring to enjoy it? Honestly, they should have had a special preview concerts so that the real fans, the ones who can hear records that DON'T EXIST can appreciate it in comfort...perhaps in an anechoic chamber, in complete darkness.

I knew all that...Surf's up is another rich source of Smile stuff...just wonder how close all your expert compilations are to the real thing (or even the performance of it at the RFH, which seems to have become the de facto real thing...). I thought that Van Dyke Parks rehired (whatever)to complete it with him, which led me to beleive thatt any bootleg versions available hitherto would have been lacking somewhat.
My understanding is that Parks wrotes some new lyrics in some of the songs (Holiday, DaDa, maybe a few more), but it seems that most of the music was already known. The Good Vibrations boxset had a wealth of material, and other parts of the sessions have surfaced on various bootlegs.
I read that Jason was at one of the RFH concerts too, and said that it was like being on every drug he's ever done.
