Sgt Pepper vs. Pet Sounds - on film

The mini-films on this page were all recorded live at The Brighton Beach Boys Christmas Eve 2006 performance in Brighton.

A sold-out, singing and dancing crowd (who we'd like to thank for their participation) were treated to excerpts from the Pet Sounds vs. Sgt. Pepper show as well as the regular Beach Boys specials, including the fresh and newly-worked-out Surf's Up, Long Promised Road and Catch A Wave, plus a few special Christmas songs like Sleigh Ride, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and our own surfin' version of Silent Night!

Although we captured the live experience quite roughly on very few cameras and with no re-takes, you can still get a flavour of the show, with strings, brass, percussion and a front-line of quality singers.

So, for your delectation, we present God Only Knows from Pet Sounds, the title track from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the à capella intro from Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

We would also like to extend the hand of thanks to those who assisted us to record the event: Paul Zenon, Paul Adsett, Alan McGowan and Richard Daws, without whose kind assistance this page would not exist.

Enjoy.
