The BLUE BAMBU ROOM

Welcome to the Blue Bambu Room, a lounge where you can kick back, listen to the waves, have a cold one, and talk about Dennis, his music, his life, his brothers, his band. TO RETURN TO DENNIS WILSON DREAMER .ORG, CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO THE LEFT.

NOTE: On June 18th, 2008, Sony BMG/ Legacy Recordings released the long awaited reissue of Dennis Wilson's masterwork, the acclaimed 1977 solo album Pacific Ocean Blue. Aside from a brief CD release in 1992, this is the first time this album has been widely available to the public since it's first appearance. Included in this release is a second disc packed with previously unreleased material from sessions leading up to a second solo album, tentatively titled BAMBU.

So, have you heard the new release? What do you think? What surprised you? Do you have questions? Reviews? Opinions? - they are all welcome here.

beach boys/csny 1974

Tori Schecter
Ed's been talking about it for a decade (if not more). I feel it's never going to happen. Too bad for us! All those great photos of Dennis that we'll never see. sigh. TS


Ouch! Touche'

However, I'm not the only one who has waited 35 years to see Billy's film,
and as you can see from above, you can order it now.

Kind of lends credence to the phrase,
"All things come to he who waits!"

Re: beach boys/csny 1974

You are right..I have the large handbill promoting the show with the Joni Mitchell artwork, which is one of the reasons I saved it. Thanks for the info.

Wow, gotta love these sites! That explains so much, except for the "Texas Tour '74" shirts I mentioned... Ya know what? Bet I got one from the CSNY camp;( Joel Berstein, I bet!); doesn't look like we were in Texas long at all! Maybe CSNY spent a lot longer there than we did...
I edited the above dates to the shows I remember attending with them. However, what is the meaning of the asterik at the Oklahoma Jam? Did CSNY headline that one, too? I thought Leon did, as this whole affair was tied in with his annual B-B-Que. (Now if I could just remember where Dennis & I went on the 26th??? I do vividly remember a very bizzare scene from Oklahoma - a true Dennis classic!)

Ed, the asterik just means the date in question wasn't listed in Keith Badman's book, or it was listed there with an incorrect date. Ian provided the missing and/or corrected dates to Andrew. I removed one such asterik when I pasted the info in, but forgot to remove another.

So...you gonna tell us that very bizzare true Dennis classic??
