"Live At The Roxy" is a pretty bitchin' performance IMO. With regard to
including it on Smile, it was always supposed to be on the album - in fact
it's highlight on the cover. However, it doesn't really 'fit' the album, so
to speak. Then again, Our Prayer and Vega-tables don't seem to belong on the
same disc either. Man, I'm making my head hurt here.
Smile is such a diversified collection of tracks, well - maybe that's the
whole point. Compositions that are so completely and utterly different - yet
somehow seem unified in the context of the album.
Maybe I don't have a clue either! All I know is Smile contains some
superlative music...so who am I to say? Good Vibrations 'fits' because
Wilson, back in 67, said it fits and that's good enough for me!
