like the morning coffee!
come il caff�!

Yeah.
s�

The Byrds were great.
I Byrds erano grandi

They just became our friends.
Divennero nostri amici

I mean when we came to L.A.,
intendo quando siamo venuti a LA

they came and hung out with us, you know.
giravamo insieme

That 12-string sound was great
and the voices were great.
La loro 12 corde e le parti cantate erano forti

So we loved The Byrds.
amavamo i Byrds

They introduced us
to a hallucinogenic situation.
Ci introdussero al mondo degli allucinogeni

Hmm.
hmm

And, ah, we had a really good time.
Ci siamo divertiti

The Beatles
actually started the folk rock
I Beatles veramente iniziarono il folk rock

in California.
in California

It was... and it probably
was the California guys
i ragazzi della California

trying to grab hold of that sound.
cercavano di afferrare il loro sound

It's all full of strange coincidences.
E' tutta una serie di coincidenze

John Hall of the Rickenbacker company
flying to New York
John Hall della Rickenbacker vol� a NY

because he'd heard
The Beatles played Rickenbacker
perch� gli fu detto che i Beatles le suonavano

and going up to the suite
e and� in hotel

with the second
Rickenbacker 12-string ever made,
con la seconda Rickenbacker 12 corde mai fatta

giving it to George.
e la diede a George.

He brought it for John
La port� per john

because he's the one
that played the Rickenbacker.
perch� era lui che le usava

But George had the flu,
the other three had gone out
Ma George era malato e John non c'era

for a photo session,
and George nabbed the 12-string.
per fare delle foto e George afferr� la chitarra

Mm hmm.

That changed pop music, you know,
Quello ha cambiato la storia del Pop

rock music I guess you would call it.
e anche del rock

We should have the nerve
to call it rock music,
Dovremmo avere il coraggio di chiamarla rock

I mean it was rock 'n' roll music.
voglio dire era rocn'n'roll music

Everything was influencing everything.
tutto influenzava tutto....

With this huge witches brew of, you know,
in un enorme calderone

and things would pop out.
e le cose uscivano

I mean and transatlantic, too,
'cause we were all listening
anche da una parte all'altra dell'oceano
perch� ognuno ascoltava

to each other's records, you know.
i dischi degli altri

And The Beatles were
doing their cop on The Byrds
I Beatles prendevano qualcosa dei Byrds

with one song and then
they were doing The Beach Boys
in una canzone e poi fu il turno dei Beach Boys

with "Girl", you know.
in "Girl"

♪ I wish they all could be California girls ♪

I was a sucker for Brian's work right away.
Ero pazzo del lavoro Di Brian Wilson

I was very close friends
with Felix Pappalardi
Ero amico di Felix Pappalardi

and he was the guy
who pointed out to me
fu quello che mi fece capire

the Bach-like qualities.
le particolarit� della musica di Bach

And he said listen to this chord sequence.
disse di ascoltare la sequenza di accordi

They're using like Bach
chordal movements in there.
Usano una sequenza tipica di Bach

I mean that was really important.
Era notevole....

♪ Yeah, but I couldn't wait

♪ Back to the cutest girls in the world ♪

♪ I wish they all could be California girls ♪

Well, they were the other band
that we admired.
Loro erano l'altra band che ammiravamo

They were it.
erano loro

Everybody else... and they were
as establishment as they could be,
Erano molto interni all'enstablishment

but they were good.
ma erano bravi

They had good songs 'cause of Brian
Avevano le belle canzoni di Brian

and they had really interesting harmonies,
interessanti armonie vocali

completely different than anybody else.
completamente differenti da ciunque altro

So, we liked them a lot.
Ci piacevano un sacco

May I have,
I'm sure most everybody knows
Sicuramente tutti vi conoscono

but for anybody who might not,
may be introduce you by name?

Who determines
what will be done next?
Chi ha l'ultima parola?

Well, I guess I do. I don't know.
penso io, non lo so.....

I write the songs and produce them,
io scrivo e produco....

so I have a lot to say about it.
cos� sono molto coinvolto

I can't see something in Mozart
Non vedo nulla in Mozart

that's better than Brian Wilson.
di meglio di Brian Wilson

I think you could make that case.
Penso si possa dire

Those guys would have loved him.
Sarebbero d'accordo anche loro

Hmm.

He's really just too good.
He's
e' davvero bravissimo

Yeah.

He's not a guy that comes
down the pike in many lifetimes.
Non ne nasce uno tutti i giorni

Chi non ha cercato conforto...

and the solace of your own room,

il conforto e la privacy della tua stanza,
il tuo spazio.

It can be said in a million ways,
puo' essere raccontato in molti modi

but I mean just that...
that song was so beautiful.
...ma quella canzone � meravigliosa

Beach Boys was a primary thing
I Beach Boys erano una cosa fondamentale

when Cream was kind of
philosophically driven by it,
quando invece i Cream erano guidati a livello
spirituale da quelle cose

by the idea that we could
somehow do something like that.
dall'idea che qualcuno riusciva a fare quelle cose

Or be inspired by that,
Pet Sounds, you know.
Essere ispirati da ci�....Pet Sounds

They lived right down
the street from us, Brian and Marilyn.
Vivevano in fondo alla nostra strada, Brian e Marilyn

And one day I went over there
and the whole living room
un giorno vado da loro e vedo il loro salotto

was full of sand.
..era pieno di sabbia

And there was nothing in the living room
non c'era altro che

but a Steinway and a piano bench
and just all sand.
un piano Steinway, un piedistallo e sabbia

And I looked at her
and I said what is going on?
ho guardato lei e ho chiesto se era tutto ok

She said I know it's crazy
but he's writing some great songs.
Lei disse che sapeva che era strano
ma lui stava scrivendo grandi pezzi.....

Mm hmm.

And he was writing Pet Sounds!
Stava scrivendo Pet Sounds!

I won that record
on the radio, ah, on a call-in!
Vinsi quel disco alla radio

Like I was standing by the phone
Ero l� al telefono

and some trivia question was asked.
e mi chiesero qualcosa

I called right away and answered it
and I won a record!
Indovinai e vinsi il disco

And it was Pet Sounds.
Pet Sounds

It took me a few spins to understand, like,
Ci volle tempo per assimilarlo

what's going on here.
per capirlo

But I just fell in love with that record.
Ma me ne innamorai

It's different.
E' speciale

You know, it's off in a corner by itself.
sta in un angolo da solo

Nobody else did that successfully,
Nessuno ci si � mai avvicinato dopo

not to the level they did
non a quel livello

'cause they didn't have a writer like Brian.
perch� nessuno � Brian

I was just kind of maybe too young
to really appreciate
Forse ero un po' troppo giovane per apprezzare

how incredibly sophisticated the music was.
quanto incredibilmente sofisticata fosse quella musica

I just saw five guys wearing
the same shirt holding one surfboard
vedevo solo cinque tizi vestiti uguali
che tenevano una tavola da surf

and I thought it was lame.
noioso....

Hmm.

But all that changed
when I heard Pet Sounds.
Tutto cambi� con Pet Sounds

That's said to be responsible

Si dice che Srg. Pepper venga da l�....

We had the radio on
and The Byrds came on.
Avevamo la radio accesa e arrivarono i Byrds

I mean it was The Byrds.
Voglio dire...i Byrds

We were sure of it
because we knew them.
Ne eravamo sicuri perch� li conoscevamo

We knew them personally
and we were friends with them.
Eravamo amici allora

So we said God,
if The Byrds can have a hit,
Dicemmo Dio , se i byrds hanno una hit

anybody can have a hit!
allora pu� averla chiunque!

Hmm.

So, we've got to get back to L.A.
Tornammo a LA

But we were staying at the Albert Hotel.
Stavamo all'Albert Hotel

That's where all the musicians
kind of stayed
Dove stavano i musicisti

when they went into town.
quando stavano in citt�

And since John and I had gotten married,
E siccome io e John ci eravamo sposati

I wanted to go back home.
volevo tornare a casa

And he said we can't go back home.
e lui diceva che non potevamo

We can't.
no

The music business is here in New York.
il business della musica � qui a NY

That's when he woke me up
in the middle of the night
e' stato quando mi svegli� nel mezzo della notte

and he said I'm writing a song.
e mi disse di questa canzone...

Listen to this.
ascolta...

And he played:

Has it been a while
since you've been in this room?
E' da un po' che non vieni in questa stanza?

I was just saying that
this is where we first sang
Dicevo proprio che la prima volta ho cantato qui

for Lou Adler, in this studio.
per Lou Adler, in questo studio

In this room, too?
in questa stanza?

We recorded in 3, but this is where we,
Registravamo in tre, ma qui

just where we're standing right now,
proprio qui dove siamo

we sang practically
the first album for Lou.
abbiamo cantato tutto il primo album

And what were some of the songs you sang
e che canzoni cantasti

in the audition that you had?
all'audizione?

"California Dreamin'",
California dreamin'

"Monday Monday",

"Go Where You Wanna Go."
Go where you wanna go

- You had some good ones, then.
- You know.
ne avevi di belle....
..s�

- Wow.
- We had some material.
- wow
- avevamo buon materiale

And he said, with his hat
pulled down over his nose like this,
e disse, col suo cappello calato sul viso....

you know, "Why don't you
guys come back tomorrow.
Ragazzi perch� non ripassate domani?

We'll talk about this tomorrow."
Ne riparliamo domani

"Okay."
okay

And when we came back,
e quando tornammo...

the contracts were
all over the floor at Studio 3
i fogli del contratto erano sparsi sul
pavimento dello studio

and they were handing out pens like here!
e ci porgevano le penne!

Sign this! Sign this! Sign this!
Firma ,firma ,firma....

Well, then the audition went well, obviously.
L'audizione and� bene, ovviamente

It did!
s�!

I think the first studio I recorded in,
Il primo studio dove registrammo

that's all the equipment they had,
just this little slab here.
tutta l'attrezzatura...sta tutta qui dentro

The piano was in the middle.
il piano era in mezzo

Hal Blaine and his drums were there.
Hal Blaine alla batteria l�

John Phillips and his 12-string, P. F. Sloan,
John Phillips e la sua 12 corde, P.F. Sloan

maybe Glen Campbell,
forse Glen Campbell

Billy Strange, one of those guitar players...
Billy Strange, un chitarrista...

- All in here.
- would be in a line.
Tutti qui.
Stavano in fila.

We were at the end of a take
and Denny Doherty...
eravamo alla fine del lavoro
e Denny Doherty...

it was pretty wild through the night.
era stata una session movimentata

It got wilder and wilder.
molto movimentata

A lot of Crown Royal bags
laying everything.
Un sacco di sacchetti in terra....

And Denny had fallen asleep on the piano.
denny dormiva sul piano

And John said
"Denny, get up. I need a note."
e John gli disse di svegliarsi, gli serviva una nota

And we couldn't raise Denny.
Non si svegliava...

So, we put... got a microphone
and pulled it over here.
Cos�, mettemmo un microfono qui

Hmm.

And put it over Denny like that.
lo avvicinammo a denny cos�

And John leaned down
and sang the note to him.
John si stese e sugger� la nota a Denny

Denny sang the note,
he got the note he wanted,
Denny la cant�, avevamo la nota!

he went right back to sleep.
poi torn� a dormire

But it's a fantastic room. I mean it's...
Stanza fantasica!

This room looks
exactly the same I would think, no?
Questa stanza ha l'aspetto che mi aspettavo

The room looks exactly the same.
Sembra la stessa

The speakers are a little different.
Le casse sono un po' diverse

But the room looks
and feels exactly the same.
Ma la stanza sembra esattamente la stessa

Ed � inevitabile, succede...

the dynamics in a group

We were so confined
Eravamo segregati

to the four of us living together all the time.
Stavamo sempre insieme

We were always together.
Vivevamo insieme

And when we were rehearsing,
e poi le prove

Denny and I under the table
were playing footsie.
Io e Denny facevamo piedino sotto il tavolo

And Denny was also a big flirt.
E Denny � stato un grande flirt

He just wanted to take it
to the maximum, you know.
Voleva vivere al massimo....

He had a great sense sense of humour
Aveva un grande senso dell'umorismo

that little look in his eye, you know.

He was just so hot.

On the cover of our first album
I'm lying back in Denny's arms.
Sulla copertina del nostro primo disco
sono sdraiata in braccio a Denny

This is before we got caught.
E' stato prima di essere beccati

Really, the first night that we were together
davvero, la prima notte che siamo stati insieme

we had all been sitting
at the table and John and Cass,
eravamo seduti con john and Cass

we looked over and they were asleep.
Ci siamo accorti che dormivano

And that's when Denny just got up
Denny si � alzato

and he walked over to the sliding glass door
and off we went.
e siamo usciti dalla porta scorrevole

I was raised in a very free atmosphere.
Sono cresciuta in un ambiente libero

To me, having an affair was not as serious
Per me, una relazione , non era importante

as it was to the rest of them.
come lo era per loro.

I had had an affair before Denny
Avevo gi� avuto una relazione extra prima di Denny

when John and I had first gotten married.
quando ero gi� sposata con john

So, it was something that John
had already experienced with me,
E' stato qualcosa che John ha conosciuto con me

and that's when he wrote
"Go Where You Wanna Go".
E' stato quando ha scritto
"Vai dove ti pare"

John was really crushed and upset about it
John era innamorato ed arrabbiato

and so the lyric of
"go where you want to go,
il testo della canzone
Vai do ve ti pare

do what you want to do,
fai ci� che vuoi

with whoever you want to do it with" bitch!
con chi vuoi (puttana)

So, I mean, I was busy.
Cio�, ero indaffarata

I was a very busy girl.
Ero una ragazza molto indaffarata

And I was having a lot of fun!
E mi divertivo molto

I had ended up
with an acetate of Pet Sounds
Avevo in mano un acetato (anteprima) di Pet Sounds.

and I was going to England
E stavo andando in Inghilterra

to visit my friend Andrew Oldham,
a fare visita al mio amico Andrew Oldham

who is a producer of The Rolling Stones.
che produceva i Rolling Stones

And Paul McCartney came by
E arriv� Paul McCartney

and I played them Pet Sounds
Ascoltammo Pet Sounds

and they were listening
to everything that Brian was doing
Loro asoltavano tutto quello che Brian faceva

and thinking about how
they could use certain things
e pensavano a come utilizzare quelle idee

that he was doing on Pet Sounds.
che lui aveva avuto per Pet Sounds.

Out of that comes Sgt. Pepper.
Da l� arriva Sgt. Pepper

There was a lot
of stuff going on.
Succedevano unsacco di cose

All those records you bought,
those vinyl... we bought,
Tutti quei dischi che compravamo..

you weren't even born...
Tu non eri nemmeno nato...

were just the best.
'Cause everyone was at it.
erano le cose migliori.
Perch� tutti ci mettevano il meglio.

I have two favorite records,
as a lot of people do,
I miei preferiti, come per molte altre persone,

and one of them is Pet Sounds
and the other is Sgt. Pepper.
sono Pet Sounds e Sgt. Pepper

You can listen to the records
Se ascolti quei dischi

and you can see the cross-pollinization.
puoi percepire il mischiarsi delle idee

It was a magical thing.
Era magico.

Any time something good happens,
Quando succede una cosa bella

it's gonna show up other places.
si mostra anche altrove

It's gonna be mirrored back.
viene come specchiata

Well, that was just like cross-pollinization.
Ecco , quella � una impollinazione incrociata.

I mean The Beatles also
grew up listening to skiffle music.
I Beatles crescerono ascoltando musica Skiffle

George admits "The Bells of Rhymney"
George ammette che "Bells of Rhymney"

and "If I Needed Someone" are very similar.
e "If I needed someone" sono simili

I think he sent Roger a little card about it
Penso che scrisse a Roger a proposito di questo.

that he still has, you know.

Someone would have
written most of a song, say,
Qualcuno scriveva una canzone incompleta

you know, Paul or John, and they play it
sai, John o Paul, e la suonavano

and when it felt good okay, that's how we do it.
e quando era a posto, la lasciavamo cos�.

We would just jam. We were buskers.
Improvvisavamo. Eravamo buskers.

The riff was...
Il riff era...

♪ Oh, what will you give me? ♪

♪ Say the sad bells of Rhomey ♪

Anyway, so George liked that riff and he wrote:
A George piaceva il riff e scrisse:

♪ If I needed someone to love ♪

based on that.
basandosi su quel riff

He made a tape of it
and gave it to Derek Taylor in London.
Fece un nastro e lo diede a Derek Taylor a Londra.

Derek came over to my house,
he said George wants you to know
Derek venne a casa mia e disse che lui voleva farmi sapere

that he wrote this song based
on your riff in "Bells of Rhymney".
che la canzone si basava su "Bells of Rhymney"

When you hear beautiful music
it gets inside you
Quando ascolti qualcosa di bello
ti entra dentro

and sometimes you want
to do a little something like that
e a volte vuoi fare qualcosa di simile

maybe, but your way.
ma alla tua maniera

Or wow, he did that
so maybe I could maybe...
Lui ha fatto cos� quindi io....

and it's an open-ended thing.
� una cosa in evoluzione...

But that's fair, right? That's... that's fair.
Ma � giusto cos�.

But, you know, outright theft
isn't that good but you...
Beh, rubare proprio non si fa...

But in that sense
I thought it was really nice.
Ma in quel senso va bene.

You have the heavy...
Hai della roba...

you're a little bit on the heavier side.
roba importante...

You got the Pet Sounds
and the Sgt. Pepper's over there...
Hai Pet Sounds e Sgt. Pepper l�...

I have some very good shit over here, yeah!
Ho un po' di bella roba qua...

I'll stick with this.
Direi che mi � andata bene.

Yeah. And these records come
Questi dischi

all of a sudden like an avalanche.
arrivarono tutti insieme, a valanga.

Mm hmm.

And there's nothing like them before.
Non c'era nulla cos� prima.

It used to be that
every time any of these came out
Era cos� quando uscivano...

it was like this giant event
ogni volta un grande evento

and people would talk about it
and gather together
La gente ne parlava, si ritrovava

and put on a record in their room
and listen to the record.
oppure metteva su il disco nella propria stanza

- It's so cool.
- For days.
- che bello
- per giorni e giorni

For days!
Giorni!

And they'd be deciphering,
you know, why is he wearing this cape,
E pensavano,perch� sta indossando

poncho, from the Renaissance Fair.
quel poncho (collegamento con Renaissance Fair)

Yeah, one of my favorite things
about all these bands
una cosa bella di questi gruppi

is that they're, in a sense,
they're sort of super groups,
� che erano dei super gruppi

you know.
They have multiple lead singers.
Avevano pi� di un cantante

They have multiple songwriters.
Pi� di un autore

But I think the beauty of all this
is how they came together
Ma la cosa bella � come mettevano tutto insieme

and brought the best of
that they had for something.
e portavano il meglio per la causa

Yeah! I mean just listen
to Buffalo Springfield
Voglio dire, ascolta i Buffalo Springfield

- and all those bands.
- Yeah.
- e tutte quelle bands
- s�

You just get something
completely remarkable and unique
Qualcosa di notevole e unico...

- when it's...
- Oh, yeah...

A combination,
a collaborative, that you can't...
Una combinazione, collaborazioni...

you just can't do, with all your own DNA.
cose che non puoi fare individualmente.

You just can't.
non puoi

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

Nice to see you all!
E' bello vedervi

Welcome.
Benvenuti

Would you be kind enough
to act as spokesman,
Sii gentile e fai il presentatore,

introduce yourself, and then
let us know who else is involved.
presenta te stesso e gli altri

Ah, my name is Neil Young.
Mi chiamo Neil Young

All right, Neil. How do you do?
Ciao Neil, come stai?

I'm the lead guitar player.
How do you do?
Sono il chitarrista solista

This is Richie Furay.
questo � Richie Furay

Hello, Richie! Nice to see you
Ciao!

- This is Steve Stills.
- Hello, Steve. Nice to see you.
Steve Stills

How does three Canadians
and a couple of other fellows
Che ci fanno tre canadesi e altri due tizi

all fall into together?
How did that happen?
insieme? che succede?

Well, we, ah,
Bruce and I came to Los Angeles
Bruce ed io siamo venuti a LA

in an old hearse to try to,
you know, make stars, you know.
su un vecchio carro funebre

We're gonna be stars.
a fare le star..

So, ah, we were just about to leave
and I saw him in a van
Stavamo per andarcene e l'ho visto su un furgone

going the other way on Sunset
and he stopped and he...
nell'altro senso di marcia e...

and we stopped and we all stopped
and then we started.
ci siamo fermati e tutto � partito da l�...

We were in Fort William, Ontario,
Eravamo a Fort William , Ontario

and the owner of the club
said these guys that we,
e il proprietario del club dice

you know, employ regularly
are gonna come in
che una band nuova suoner� dopo di noi

and do a set in between
you guys and the main act.
e prima dell'attrazione principale.

It was Neil with a little trio
called The Squires.
Era Neil con un trio chiamato The Squires

And he was doing exactly
what I wanted to do,
E faceva esattamente quello che avrei voluto fare io

which was to play folk songs
on electric guitar.
cio� fare folk elettrificato

And we hung out together for a week.
ci siamo frequentati per una settimana

We talked and dreamt and fantasized
Abbiamo parlato e fantasticato

about what we wanted to do.
su ci� che volevamo fare

And we were inseparable.
eravamo inseparabili.

Buffalo Springfield,
you know, that was a big one.
I Buffalo Springfield erano grandi

I saw them back in '67 or '68.
Li vidi nel'67 o '68

They came to Gainesville
and played with The Beach Boys.
Vennero a Gainsville e suonarono coi Beach Boys

You know, I never got over it!
Non lo dimenticher� mai.

It was a really
mind-blowing show, you know.
Fu sconvolgente.

It was like that's as good
as it's supposed to be, you know.
E' stato fantastico proprio come te lo aspetteresti.

It was maybe better.
Forse meglio.

Buffalo Springfield had like, you know,
I Buffalo Springfield avevano

just like legions of the girls that,
you know, I wanted,
un sacco di ragazze intorno,
che avrei voluto io

you know, were like just looking that way.
ma guardavano loro.

And I thought, you know, this is...
Pensavo che fossero

this must be a pretty good band.
una grande band.

- We went to L.A. with Cream.
- Yeah.
- Andammo a LA coi Cream.

And I hadn't been there
more than about an hour
Non c'ero mai stato per pi� di un'ora

and there was a knock at the door
and then Stephen Stills
bussarono alla porta,
era Stephen Stills

was there with a guitar, you know.
con una chitarra.

He just came in.
Entr�.

I took his guitar out of the case and said
Prese la chitarra

"I hear you like this".

- He played you "Bluebird"?
- He played "Bluebird".
-suon� Bluebird?
- suon� Bluebird!

They'd end with this really long
"Bluebird", like, you know,
Finivano la canzone

trading guitars for...
'til it just got really intense.
incrociando le proprie parti di chitarra
era intenso...

It was great.
Grande!

The Byrds picked up the Buffalo Springfield
for an opening act
I Byrds li scelsero come supporters

and it lasted until
David Crosby saw us for the first time
e dur� finche Crosby non ci vide per la prima volta

and he says "Get them out of there.
They're too good."
E ordin� di farci scendere perch�
eravamo troppo bravi!

I remember thinking
when we did it this is a bad idea.
Ricordo di aver pensato che fosse
una cattiva idea farli suonare prima di noi

'Cause they're -
they're really amazingly good.
Perch� erano bravissimi.

And we had hits, you know,
so we could follow them,
E noi avevamo delle hits, quindi
potevamo reggere

but they were awfully goddamn good.
ma loro erano meravigliosi.

What was good about it
is that we had a wealth of material.
La cosa buona era che avevamo
un sacco di materiale buono

What was bad about it, it was
in really divergent directions.
quella brutta che il tutto andava
verso direzioni divergenti.

The first song we had, "Clancy",
la prima canzone, "Clancy",

with the Buffalo Springfield,
we did the first take
incidemmo la prima take

and the voice comes back
from the booth and said,
e la voce dalla regia dello studio disse:

"It's too long. Play it faster."
"Troppo lunga, suonatela pi� veloce".

Mm hmm.

And that's when Neil and I
looked at each other and said
Io e Neil ci siamo guardati e ci siamo detti

oh my God, we've gotta
learn how to do this ourselves.
- dobbiamo imparare a fare le cose per noi stessi!

There's Neil and I'm listening
to something that he's doing.
Ecco Neil,ed io sto ascoltando
qualcosa che sta suonando.

And that's the old original console.
Quello � il mixer originale.

This was only 8-track.
Era quello a 8 piste.

That's why it's an old Altec console
with like big knobs.
un vecchio Altec con manopole grosse

And right after that,
I think we got an MCI or something
E dopo quello arriv� un MCI, credo...

and went to 16, which to me
was all we ever needed.
e quindi un 16 piste, tutto ci� di cui avevo bisogno.

But this is like after we obviously had learned
Ma qui � quando

to make them ourselves. I see, no...
abbiamo imparato a fare le cose

That's probably the engineer
that was hired for the session.
C'� probabilmente un fonico assunto per la session.

He's gotta sit down now?
Stava seduto?

Just go sit down there.
Vai vai, siediti l�....

Should we talk about "Questions"?
Parliamo di "Questions"?

Well, to start with I had this what...
you know those magical days
Partiamo da....
Sai quei giorni magici

where a lot of stuff happens?
quando succedono un sacco di cose?

I met Judy Collins
and Eric Clapton on the same night.
Incontrai Judy Collins ed Eric Clapton la stessa notte.

I went to the Whisky to see Eric.
Andai al Whisky a vedere Eric.

And so I'm flirting with Judy,
trying to listen to Eric,
Flirtavo con Judy e cercavo di ascoltare Eric,

who's blowing my mind,
and so I'm overwhelmed.
che mi stava spazzando via, ero sopraffatto

And then later on, Crosby had
brought Eric to my little house
Poi pi� tardi Crosby lo port� a casa mia

in Laurel Canyon.
nel Laurel Canyon.

And the changes to "Questions" were derived
E i cambiamenti a "Questions" arrivavano

from a song of Judy's called
"Since You've Asked".
da "Since you've asked", una canzone di Judy.

And I just took
this first three chords
Presi i primi tre accordi

and changed the cadence and everything.
e cambiai la cadenza ed altro

And then it evolved into the song.
E si trasform� nella canzone.

And I think I was playing it for him
as I was trying to write it,
Penso di avergliela suonata mentre la scrivevo.

and it later ended up
on a Buffalo Springfield album.
Poi fin� su un nostro album.

I haven't listened to that stuff
for a long time,
Non ascolto quella roba da un po'

you know, the west coast music,
at all and so...
sai, musica della West Coast

The original version you...
La versione originale...

No, I haven't heard
the original version of "Questions"
No, non sento la versione originale

for a long, long, long time.
da un sacco di tempo.

And it really took me back.
Mi porta indietro

♪ What was it made you run ♪

♪ Tryin' to get around
The questions... ♪

It took me back to
a song that I had done, too,
Mi porta indietro ad una canzone che feci

around the same time.
in quel periodo.

Ah, a little later, actually,
called "Let It Rain".
Forse un po' dopo,"Let it rain"

And it was one of the first songs I'd ever written.
Una delle prime che ho scritto

And it... and there, you know,
there's that kind of...
C'era dentro....

I was influenced by it, I think.
Ero stato influenzato

Yeah, I thought that we talked
about having, hopefully,
Ne abbiamo parlato

you play on that song with Stephen...
hai suonato quella canzone con Stephen

Yeah.
S�

I wondered if that was gonna be...
it's not gonna bother you
Mi chiedevo se ti infastidisce

that there's the...
there's a similar feel or...
che il feeling sia simile

Well I didn't... I must have copped it
Devo aver preso ispirazione

and not even known, you know.
senza neanche accorgermene.

We can edit that part right out.
Questa la tagliamo...

Well, no, no! I think, no,
No,

that's very important for people to know.
� importante che la gente sappia.

Well Stephen owes you one.
Beh, Stephen ti deve un favore...

♪ Come on lover, talk to me ♪

Sorry I got lost.
Scusa mi sono perso.

Whatever happened
in the solo section was great.
Quello che � successo nella parte del solo � bellissimo

- Cool.
- With you and Eric together.
- Bello
- Tu ed Eric insieme!

Yeah. When Eric's playing
in the top of the second solo,
Eric suona nel clou del secondo solo

you know, he's playing in the higher register
usa note alte...

and I think anything in the lower register
penso che qualche nota bassa

would be cool as a complement.
sarebbe un bel complemento.

♪ Where are we going love? ♪

Eric was very meticulous
about reminding me back then,
Eric me lo spieg� molto bene allora

he said
You know, when you're doing this on stage,
...quando la suoni dal vivo

you must take turns.
devi fare a turno

Much like schoolyard, you know.
Come nel cortile della scuola.

Gentlemanly.
Educatamente.

I had got an invite
to go and watch
Fui invitato

Buffalo Springfield rehearsing
in a house in Laurel Canyon.
a vedere le prove dei Buffalo Springfield
nella loro casa nel Laurel Canyon.

I had met this girl called
Mary Hughes who was
Avevo incontrato questa ragazza chiamata
Mary Hughes

the kind of beauty queen
of the Strip at that time.
Tipo la regina di bellezza del Sunset Strip

Jeff Beck was dating her
and Keith Moon was dating her
Jeff Beck e Keith Moon uscivano con lei.

and I somehow managed
to get into the equation.
In qualche modo c'entravo anche io

And I'm with this beautiful girl
and there's joints being passed around
Sto l� con lei e intanto girano un po' di canne

and they start to play.
e cominciano a suonare.

And they played at a level where
it wasn't too loud for everybody
Suonavano ad un volume abbastanza normale.

and they were rehearsing a set,
I think, to play for a show.
Stavano provando lo spettacolo.

And then there's a knock at the door.
E si sente bussare

And someone goes to answer
and there's an immediate vibe
Qualcuno va ad aprire e subito
si diffonde una cattiva vibrazione

in the room of that
something's wrong, you know.
Qualcosa che non andava...

And they open the door
and there's a policeman standing there.
Aprono la porta e c'� un poliziotto

And there's a squad car in the background.
e una pattuglia dietro di lui

And he says,
"You'll have to keep it down.
Dice di abbassare il volume

We've had some complaints about the noise.
che c'erano state lamentele

What's that?"
Poi sente l'odore

And next thing you know,
they're in the room.
e subito entrano tutti

And I had nothing...
I had just put down a joint.
Io non avevo nulla...
Avevo buttato a terra la canna

I had nothing in my hands,
Nulla

but, ah, I was handcuffed to somebody.
Ma fui ammanettato

So, we were all taken to L.A. County Jail.
e portato alla prigione della contea di LA

Meanwhile, it was like where's...
what happened to Stephen?
Nel frattempo non si trovava Stephen

Stephen, when he realized
who was at the front door...
...che quando aveva fiutato i guai

Yeah!

Jumped out the bathroom window
and ran off.
Era saltato dalla finestra del bagno e corso via!

There's a party that
we heard about, too, your...
C'� un party del quale abbiamo sentito...

was it your house
that had a party in the Canyon?
Era a casa tua no?

Is that the same party you mentioned?
E' proprio quel party?

What? Disastrous.
Disastroso...

What I heard was
you were there, Eric was there,
So che tu c'eri e c'era Eric...

Neil was there, and so were the police.
C'era Neil....e la polizia.

- I'd say yeah!
- That sound right?
S�
- Torna tutto?

Neil and I were sitting
in a bedroom in the back
Neil ed io eravamo seduti in camera da letto

and we here this.
abbiamo sentito

And I said go check that.
E ho detto di controllare

I'm gonna go next door and call lawyers!
Stavo per chiamare gli avvocati.

And I book it out the back.
E sono scappato dal retro

So, of course, that blew up
into ruining my reputation.
Cos�, ovviamente, mi sono rovinato la reputazione.

Oh, he was the guy that booked, you know.
Ero quello che scappava...

And, ah, and I went next door and...
Andai dal vicino e...

totally reprehensible.
Assolutamente riprovevole

I should have manned up and... and it wasn't.
Avrei dovuto presidiare...

I've never lived that down
and felt awful about it ever since.
Non c'ero e me ne sono sempre pentito

Neil got really aggressive
and was out the door
Neil fu molto aggressivo

and he was gonna go
chase the police away.
Voleva cacciare la polizia

'Cause he's Canadian and I guess
in Canada you can do that...
Perch� � canadese e forse in Canada si pu�...

It was really exciting
to get to Los Angeles
Era eccitante arrivare a Los Angeles

coming from Gainesville, Florida.
da Gainsville, Florida.

And in my mind,
it was the weather and the girls
Nelle mie aspettative, bel tempo e ragazze

and the surfing and the cars
and it was a young mentality.
il surf e le auto, pensieri da giovani...

This is kind of where people
that really were big dreamers
Qiu � dove vengono i sognatori

went to because
that's kind of allowed here.
perch� � loro permesso sognare..

There are people that believe that
Persone che credono

it might be possible to do
something that's not ordinary.
di poter fare qualcosa che esca dall'ordinario

The first thing I remember
going down Sunset Boulevard
La prima cosa che ricordo del Sunset Boulevard

looking out the car at the all
the record companies, you know.
sono io che guardo dall'auto le sedi
delle case discografiche.

In those days it was MGM,
you know, Capitol, you know,
In quei giorni la MGM, la Capitol,

all these labels that aren't there anymore.
etichette che non esistono pi�

It was true. I got out there
and man, these recording studios
Poi ci sono andato in quegli studi di registrazione

are all spotless and engineers
are really remarkably good.
tutti puliti e con fonici bravissimi.

This is where Phil Spector
and Brian Wilson were working.
Era dove lavoravano Phil Spector e Brian Wilson

People started showing up here
trying to work with the engineers
La gente sperava di lavorare

they worked with
and the studios that they worked in
coi loro fonici, negli stessi studi

to make things sound... fat.
Per ingrossare il suono.

In America it's very, very different.
In America � differente...

Abbey Road was
the only place that, basically,
Abbey Road � l'unico posto

we ever recorded, right.
dove lavoravamo.

There it was almost like,
ah, almost like the BBC.
Come fosse la BBC

All the engineers had
these white overalls on.
Coi fonici in camice bianco

And, you know, if you wanted
to bring the bass up
Se volevi alzare il basso

you had to go to the producer
who then went to the engineer
andavi dal produttore
che lo diceva al fonico

who then brought the bass up.
che alzava il basso.

You were secondary somehow
to these people in white coats
Eri in qualche modo subordinato a questi professionisti.

that were really making the music.
Che producevano musica

They had all these
like professors guys.
Avevano tutti questi professorini

You know, scientists upstairs.
Scienziati osservatori

We were in the studio.
Eravamo in studio

It's like an old 40s movie.
Come in un film degli anni '40

Oh, what's that you want?
You want to play?
Che vuoi?
Suonare?

Mm, let me see what I can do.
....fammi vedere che si pu� fare...

Very different here.
Very much looser, much better.
Molto diverso qui, libero, meglio...

"Good Vibrations"
was recorded in four studios,
"Good Vibrations" fu registrato in quattro studi

four different studios.
Differenti studi

Well, each studio is different, you know?
Ogni studio � differente, sai?

Like you can't...
not any one studio's the same.
Non sono tutti uguali

Western was good for the,
ah, instrumentation,
Il Western era buono come strumentazione

like the bass, the drums, guitars.
Il basso, la batteria, la chitarra

Sunset Sound, I liked their tech piano.
Il Sunset Sound, mi piaceva il loro piano

I used that on the bridge
to "Good Vibrations."
L'ho usato nel bridge di Good Vibrations

Gold Star was good for just the echo.
Il Gold Star aveva un bel riverbero

The echo of Gold Star was good.

And RCA Victor,
that's where we did the vocal.
Allo studio RCA Victor feci le tracce vocali

There were so many studios.
C'erano un sacco di studi

They had that great
RCA studio on Sunset and Ivar.
Lo studio RCA sul Sunset

It was a fantastic place.
un posto fantastico

Columbia Studios.
Il Columbia...

And Western, you know,
il Western...

United Western at times it was called.
allora chiamato United Western

It's still there.
E' ancora l�....

Have you...
have you recorded here?
Mai registrato qui?

No, I've never been here.
No

Yeah, this is where
Brian Wilson, Mamas & the Papas,
E' dove registravano Brian Wilson, i Mamas and Papas

and Buffalo Springfield recorded.
e i Buffalo Springfield

Yeah?
S�?

As well as you can see
the evolution of Don Was.
Qui puoi vedere l'evoluzione di Don Was

Yeah, there he is!
S�

And let's go back further.
Andiamo ancora indietro...

And there's some more of him over there.
Ancora un po' di lui qui...

Yeah, you can here see this...
Guarda qua...

There's some more him down there -
Ancora lui...

...before he really figured it out.
prima di diventare importante

What about these guys?
E questi?

Mm, not really familiar.
mmm, non mi dicono niente...

- That's okay.
- It's okay.

- This is all right here, huh?
- Yeah. It's cool.
- Bello qui

Yeah, I want to record
a song by The Association.
Vorrei registrare un pezzo
degli "Association"

Yeah!

They're not really marked
who's doing what,
Non si capisce chi deve fare cosa

but that doesn't really matter.
ma non importa...

I was driving down Sunset
and I turned on
Stavo guidando sul Sunset
ed ho svoltato

one of those roads
that leads up into the hills
su una strada laterale che porta alle colline

and I stopped at this place
that overlooks the whole city.
e mi sono fermato a guardare il panorama

It was fantastic.
Era fantastico

I suddenly felt exhilarated there.
Mi sono subito sentito euforico

I was really moved
by the geometry of the place,
Ispirato dalla geometria delle cose

its harmony.
Dall'armonia

It's a fabulous city.
E' una citt� favolosa

To think some people
claim it's an ugly city
Alcuni la ritengono persino brutta

when it's really pure poetry,
it just kills me.
Quando invece � pura poesia, mi colpisce

I wanted to build something right then,
create something.
Volevo costruire qualcosa, creare...

I used to love L.A.
Amavo LA

when I was first there in the early 60s.
Arrivai nei primi anni '60

You can drive around and smell
the orange blossoms, you know.
potevi giudare ed annusare i fiori d'arancio

It was really cool.
Un posto molto cool

We moved into Laurel Canyon
Ci traferimmo nel Canyon

and we just loved the scene there.
e ci piaceva la scena l�.

And a lot of people,
a lot of folk singers would come around
Un sacco di gente e di Folksingers
sarebbero arrivati...

and play and we'd,
you know, get high and stuff.
e ci avremmo suonato insieme, ci saremmo sballati etc.

It was fan... a fun time.
Una epoca piena di divertimento

Just driving up those canyons
and people pointing out houses
Guidavi nel Canyon e la gente sapeva che quelle

of famous people that lived there,
erano le case di persone famose.

Houdini and Tom Mix and Zappa
Houdini e Tom Mix e Zappa

and, you know, it was a fabulous time.
Una epoca favolosa.

♪ I need somebody groovy ♪

♪ Someone who's able to move me, yeah ♪

Any time you
drove by the Canyon Store
Ogni volta che andavi al Supermarket del Canyon

you saw some pop hero.
vedevi qualcuno famoso

There's David Crosby, you know!
C'era Crosby!

There were people
from everywhere in Laurel Canyon.
C'era gente da ogni luogo del Canyon.

In '66 it was teeming.
Nel '66 era pieno...

And you might see anybody.
Potevi vedere chiunque

Like I one time saw
Crosby blow through there
Una volta vidi Crosby

and scoop up these two girls.
caricare queste due ragazze...

And he was wearing a cape, by the way.
Indossava un cappello, a proposito...

Disappeared, you know, into the night!
Poi scomparve nella notte

Frank Zappa lived across the street.
Frank Zappa viveva dall'altra parte della strada.

And he once stood in the middle of the street
Una volta si mise in mezzo alla strada

reading me the lyrics of
"Who Are The Brain Police",
e mi lesse il testo di "Who are the brain police"

like Alan Ginsberg. It was...
come fosse Allen Ginsberg..

And I kept going whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Io dicevo: whoa! whoa! whoa!

And then I heard Frank Zappa
do an orchestration
E poi sentii Frank fare una orchestrazione

on a track without the yelling over it.
di una traccia

And it was... it was otherworldly.
Era ...una cosa ultraterrena...

It was really... really incredible.
Incredibile

There's not the kind of scene
there is in New York
Non c'era il genere di scena tipo New York

and the east coast cities
where there's a club you go to.
O altre citt� dell'est
dove ti recavi nei clubs

We would go over to people's houses
Noi andavamo a casa di qualcuno

and yak it up for hours and hours!
ci stavamo per ore

And play music, you know.
E suonavamo

All kinds of music all the time.
La musica che si suonava allora

I wrote a song
with Brian Wilson one time.
Una volta ho scritto con Brian Wilson

Brian came over to my house.
Brian venne a casa mia

I said wow.
He had never come over before.
Dissi WOW, non era mai successo.

And he came up and he said,
"You got any speed?"
Venne e chiese se avevo dello Speed

And I said, "I think so."
I went to the medicine cabinet
Dissi che credevo di s� e andai nell'armadietto

and I gave him two Biphetamine 20s.
e gli diedi due Biphetamine 20s

He... he wanted two.
ne voleva due

And this is about,
mm, 4:00 in the afternoon.
E questo alle 4 del pomeriggio

We started playing a song.
It was like a...
Cominciammo a suonare...

Okay, we're playing that
and we're playing that and playing that.
E ancora e ancora...

And it finally gets dark and I go to bed.
Alla fine si fa buio e vado a letto

And, you know, seven,
eight hours later I got up
Sette, otto ore dopo mi alzo

and Brian is still at the piano going...
e Brian � ancora l� al piano...

- Still playing the same figure?
- Yeah, same song, yeah!
- Ancora quella?
- S�, ancora quella...

- Really fast.
- It's only got one verse.
- Ha solo una strofa

And they finally released it,
called it "Ding Dang".
Alla fine la pubblicarono, si chiama Ding Dang

And whenever I see Brian
these days he points at me
Quando vedo Brian, mi fissa e dice :

and goes "Ding dang!"
Ding Dang!

There's a lot of strange stuff happening here.
Accadevano cose strane qua...

George and I just drove up
to wherever Micky Dolenz lived
Io e George guidavamo fino a casa di Micky Dolenz

and Stephen Stills was there
and several other people.
E c'era Stephen Stills e altra gente.

And they were all
being hippies in the nude.
C'erano tutti questi hippies nudi

And when they saw
it was George and I driving
Ma quando videro me e George arrivare

they all run in and got dressed!
corsero tutti a vestirsi

And we were going
well, that's not very hippie.
Noi pensammo che non fosse molto hippy....

You just felt like
you could do anything, you know.
Sentivi di poter fare di tutto...

You just felt like
there was nothing stopping you,
Come se nulla potesse fermarti

is the way that...
and Hollywood was right there
Hollywood era proprio l�...

and the music industry, or a good part of it.
e il music business, o almeno una buona parte.

And Sunset Boulevard, you know.
e il Sunset boulevard , sai...

It just... it reeked of what happened in the 40s
Ricordava gli anni '40

with the movie stars and that lifestyle.
Le stars del cinema e il loro stile di vita

And, in a sense,
we emulated it in a different way.
in un certo modo, noi li emulavamo....

There's a certain thing
about freedom of spirit,
...quella sensazione di libert�....

a certain thing about lack of rules,
..la mancanza di regole....

lack of previous stuff holding you in place.
...la mancanza di riferimenti al passato che ti inchiodassero al suolo

Certain people wound up,
you know, in certain places
Certe persone hanno preso una direzione

and chemistries happened
e generato alchimie

and they inspired other
chemistries around them.
e ispirato alchimie attorno a loro

I kind of compare it with
Vienna at the turn of the century
Mi fa venire alla mente la Vienna di inizio secolo

when all those architects
and painters and furniture builders
quando architetti e pittori e costruttori di mobili

would drink massive amounts of coffee,
bevevano un sacco di caff�

and what are you doing
and what are you working on now?
e si informavano di continuo su chi faceva cosa....

Paris in the 30s with Gertrude Stein and all,
Parigi negli anni 30 e Gertrude stein etc...

you know, all those artists coming together.
artisti che si riunivano

But I think this era, in time,
is gonna be treated exactly the same way
Penso che quel periodo sar� visto allo stesso modo

in a couple of hundred years by the historians.
tra duecento anni dagli storici

The power of music is undeniable.
La forza della musica � innegabile

I truly believe it can change the world.
Io penso veramente che possa cambiare il mondo

I do.
S�

Small ways, but...
A piccole dosi...

I'm not letting this go!
Non mi arrendo...

You know, the politics in bands
Sai, le discussioni nelle bands

it gets pretty heavy sometimes,
possono diventare un guaio

especially when one guy's
getting more songs on the record
Specialmente quando un membro ha pi� canzoni
degli altri sul disco.

than somebody else.

And David had written
this song about a ménage à trios.
David scrisse questa canzone su un menage a trois

♪ What can we do
now that we both love you ♪

♪ I love you too ♪

♪ And I don't really see ♪

♪ Why can't we go on as three ♪

I didn't think it was appropriate
Non pensavo fosse appropriata

for what we were doing,
per quello che facevamo.

but he thought it was
cool and hip and everything.
Ma lui s�, pensava fosse Hip e Cool etc...

And we decided
to do a Goffin and King song
e decidemmo di fare una canzone scritta da
Goffin e King,

called "Going Back"
and he was just up in arms about that.
Going Back, e lui non la prese bene

It just wasn't, you know,
Era...

something that they thought
was in good taste, you know.
..qualcosa un po' di cattivo gusto per loro

It was risqué,
it was out on the edge, you know.
qualcosa di rischioso, al limite...

To me it's not out on the edge at all.
Per me assolutamente no.

It's just a love song.
E' una canzone d'amore.

It has happened.
E' successo

I mean otherwise the French
wouldn't have a name for it!
Se no i francesi non avrebbero un termine per ci�.

It wasn't so much
David writing the song.
il problema non era David o la canzone

It was the realization that
he actually lived it, many times.
era sapere che gli era successo davvero, molte volte.

That was what pissed me off.
mi faceva incazzare....

He knows it was a naughty song to write.
E' una canzone crudele....

You gotta remember, Crosby was like Brando.
Devi sapere che Crosby era come Brando

He had no boundaries.
non aveva limiti

Carole and Gerry
had moved from New York to L.A.
Carole e Gerry traslocarono a LA

and they had starting writing songs that...
e cominciarono a scrivere canzoni...

not the kind of girl band stuff
they'd been doing.
meno delicate di quelle che scrivevano.

But more of like a hipper style.
Ma pi� in voga coi tempi...

And David was...
he was, um, insufferable.
e Davi era insofferente

He was tough to live with.
Era dura conviverci

He didn't get his cool song on
non aveva la sua canzone figa...

and we did this kind of
really commercial song instead.
e facevamo roba troppo commerciale per lui

So, he was angry with that.
Era arrabbiato

The breaking point
really was when Chris Hillman
Il punto di rottura fu quando Chris Hillman

got mad at David
and said we gotta get rid of him.
Si arrabbi� con lui e disse che dovevamo cacciarlo

The fun thing is that
everybody thinks that
La cosa divertente � che tutti pensano che

that's why they
threw me out of The Byrds.
sia quello il motivo della mia cacciata dai Byrds

Ladies and gentlemen,
Signore e signori,

They threw me out of The Byrds
'cause I was an asshole.
mi cacciarono dai Byrds perch� ero una stronzo!

He was saying things like
you guys are not
Diceva cose tipo:

good enough musicians
to be playing with me.
voi non suonate abbastanza bene per suonare con me.

I went oh, really?
Io dissi: ma davvero?

- That's not cool, you know!
- Yeah.
Non era molto carino.

So, we didn't like that attitude very much.
Non ci piaceva quell'atteggiamento.

You know, I say
it's because I was an asshole.
Ho detto gi� che ero uno stronzo

It wasn't that simple, of course.
ma non era tutto l�, ovviamente,

If you give kids millions of dollars, you know,
se dai a dei ragazzi milioni di dollari

they'll screw up.
li rovini.

We held it together for a pretty long time.
Siamo stati insieme un bel po'

Bands tend to devolve.
Le bands tendono a deperire

They evolve up the point where they're exciting
Arrivano al top e sono eccitanti

and they're new and they're good,
e nuovi e bravi

and then after that they
work their way slowly downhill
poi c'� la discesa

until it's turn on the smoke machine
and play your hits.
e ti trovi a suonare il gratest hits con la macchina del fumo sul palco.

And that's not good enough for me.
Non era per me...

It's just not.
No

I've done it.
L'ho fatto....

You know, 'cause it was
the path of least resistance
Sai, era il percorso pi� facile

and it made me lots of money
and all that good stuff.
mi ha portato un sacco di soldi
e molte cose buone.

It's not good enough.
Non abbastanza per�...

I feel like
we hear these songs,
ascoltiamo queste canzoni..

we grew up with these songs,
and then we take them for granted
ci siamo cresciuti e le diamo per scontate

and I feel like there's
this thing happening tonight
ma qualcosa sta succedendo stasera

and in your hands,
and in this band's hands,
e nelle nostre mani...

where you're kind of
bringing them back to life
possiamo donare loro nuova vita

and reminding us of the brilliance.
e ricordarci di quanto fossero brillanti

Can you talk a little about that?
Puoi parlarne?

It really started with, ah, seeing this film,
E' cominciata vedendo questo film,

which was "Model Shop".
Model shop

And it was a movie
in '67 done by Jacques Demy.
un film di Jacque demy del '67

That movie looked like
the sound of The Beach Boys
Quel film era come il sound dei beach Boys

and The Mamas & Papas.
e dei Mamas and Papas

And so, it sent us on
an exploration back to that time
E cos�, siamo andati indietro nel tempo

and to look at the records
that, you know, made, ah,
e preso in mano quei dischi che fecero

made that age of innocence
of southern California writing
l'et� dell'innocenza del songwriting californiano

from '65 to '67, you know, come alive.
del '65 al '67

Most of the groups
that we're talking about,
I gruppi dei quali abbiamo

that we've picked from,
I think they were...
preso le canzoni

those are the ones that are the premier
southern California rock bands
sono stati gli iniziatori a quel tempo

from that year at that time.

Something happened
there that engendered
Qualcosa successe, che ha marchiato

a whole lot of music, a whole lot of
un sacco di musica

new ways of approaching the music possible.
una nuova maniera di approcciare la musica

Whatever it was, it was a good thing.
Qualsiasi cosa fosse, � stata positiva

I don't think you have
to put too much effort into it, really.
Non penso che i pezzi richiedano un grande sforzo interpretativo

I think they're classics.
They're timeless.
Penso siano dei classici senza tempo

And a good song will sound
as good then as it'll sound today.
e una buona canzone � in grado di suonare bene
oggi e domani

You don't have to do much.
We didn't reinvent them at all.
Non devi fare molto, non abbiamo reinventato nulla

We actually stayed
pretty true to what they sounded like.
Siamo rimasti vicini al suono originale

And oddly enough,
that sound is pretty relevant.
E stranamente, � un suono pertinente

It's pretty current right now.
Abbastanza attuale

I think, you know,
people have been trying
alcuni hanno provato nel tempo

to put salt on its tail for a long time,
a smuovere le acque

trying to figure out why it happened there
cercando di capire perch� era accaduto questo

and how it happened there.
e come era accaduto quello

And I... you can guess
Penso...

and you can point out certain factors
che tu possa concentrarti su certi fattori

that you think would
have been influencing it.
che potrebbero avere avuto un ruolo

But I don't know if we'll ever get it named.
Ma penso sia fatica inutile

It did happen.
E' successo

And it still is a place
where people come to make music.
E ancora la gente viene qui per fare musica.

Maybe it started with
this optimism of The Beatles
Forse � stato l'ottimismo dei Beatles

to Ed Sullivan was the beginning of '64,
All'Ed Sullivan Show nel '64

so that is the perfect kickoff
where there's this fad, right?
Quello fu il perfetto calcio d'inizio

People want to be their own Beatles.
La gente voleva essere i Beatles

And then so that lasts for two,
two and a half years.
e duro due anni, due e mezzo forse

Well, it probably changed a lot when
E tutto cambi� quando tutti

everybody started writing
more complex, longer songs,
cominciarono a scrivere cose pi� lunghe e complesse

which is kind of up until
Pet Sounds and Expecting to Fly.
tipo Pet Sounds o Expecting to fly...

Songs were three and a half minutes
and they could do...
Canzoni di tre minuti e mezzo ma dove

they realized they could do a lot more.
gli autori capiscono di volere di pi�

Don't you feel like some of these songs
Non vi sembra che alcune di queste canzoni

structurally, like word-wise and sound-wise,
Strutturalmente, a livello di testo o di suono

they're almost like more related to dreams?
siano associabili ai sogni?

Because they feel like
music before was more written
I sogni sembrano musica prima di essere scritta

for like the conscious mind
and this seems to be like more
per come la mente cosciente e questa musica

coming in touch with the subconscious,
viene a contatto con il subconscio

which is on the way to psychedelia probably,
il che ci porta alla psychedelia suppongo

just that in-between?
proprio a met� strada...

Well I think we talked about
"Expecting To Fly"
Stiamo parlando di "Expecting to fly"

and maybe that's the end of it?
che forse � stata la fine di tutto?

You know?

I'm not sure I would be the one
to say why it's the end of it,
Non sono sicuro di voler fare questa affermazione

but that's very different than
everything else we listened to
Ma � molto diversa dalle cose che abbiamo ascoltato

and I wouldn't say more ambitious,
non direi pi� ambiziosa...

but it seemed like something
cracked open maybe right then.
ma sembra un punto di frattura

That era begins with
this collective idea of these
Quell'epoca comincia con queste idee collettive

musicians and this
creative force coming together
di questi musicisti

to make something bigger.
per costruire qualcosa di grande

And then the era ends
when it becomes more
E il periodo si chiude

about the individual,
su qualcosa di pi� personale

yeah, searching their
own life and their own path
con ognuno che cerca la sua vita e il suo percorso

and, ah, yeah, you get
all these groups breaking up.
Tutti questi gruppi che si sciolgono...

When you have strong minded people
Quando hai a che fare con forti personalit�

and they're having these
visions of a new type of art
che vedono nuove possibilit� di fare arte

and they start to compromise,
then it just doesn't last maybe.
ma devono giungere ad un compromesso....
forse non dura.

What do you remember about
"Expecting To Fly"?
che ti ricordi di Expecting to Fly?

'Cause we recorded that for the record.
Perch� noi l'abbiamo registrata....

What do you remember
about recording that song?
Che ti ricordi della registrazione?

Actually, I wasn't allowed on those sessions.
Veramente, non mi hanno fatto entrare

You're not on that at all?
Non c'eri proprio?

No, that's when Neil
had decided to take flight.
No, fu quando Neil decise di prendere il volo

- That song was a warning.
- Was it?
- Quella canzone era un avvertimento
- Davvero?

- Yes, I'm leaving.
- Really?
- Me ne sto andando....

And I'm going to wait until it's absolutely
...e aspetter� il momento in cui

critically important
to the survival of the band,
sar� decisivo per le sorti della band

like the night before Johnny Carson
booked the first rock band.
Come la sera in cui Johnny Carson invit� la prima rock band

Neil quit the day before
we we're getting on the plane.
Neil se ne and� il giorno prima di salire sull'aereo
