Does anyone know where I can get a mp3 of 'Dreams 'by the Surf Coasters? By the way, to those of you have seen them live in person. When they play 'Dreams' did they use a second guitar or perhaps a repeat pedal? |

No, just one guitar live. I never cared much for the recorded rhythm guitar in the original, so I'm a pretty big fan of the live version. Ferenc played rhythm several times I believe when they played in the US. I learned this song off a You Tube video Brian took years ago. I do really enjoy the live versions. |

"Dreams" was my the first song I heard by The Surf Coasters; Phil Dirt used to play it all the time. I was captivated by it's simplicity, and the modern tweaks it gave to trad. I am partial to the original recording rather than the much later re-recording or the live trio versions- I think it really needs a rhythm guitar to keep the groove going. Also, later versions dumped the offbeat bass line, which I think is an essential hook. "Dreams" is on the Frankie & The Pool Boys set list for this summer! —Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

It will definitely happen (and don't forget, Surf Coaster's drummer Naotaka Seki is a Pool Boy!) Please go to the SG101 Con, it will be an amazing event, total surf overload! —Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |

That is so cool! I love the three piece version of Dreams, but I feel it is just begging for at least a five piece band to do it. just me dreaming... Joel |

Love Dreams too. In that particular video, when it comes to the bridge part, is the fuzz coming from the bass player?? I'll have to watch the video more carefully when I get more free time. |

Yes, the bass player stepped on some effects pedal for that part. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Kuri had a Zoom multi-effects pedal for that tour. Same as Shigeo, I don't remember if it was bass specific. I do not believe it was. |

The original version is on the Surfside Village album: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00005GX5G/ref=sr_1_6_olp?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1271706590&sr=1-6&condition=used There are also three copies of it on eBay with Buy It Now prices ranging from $13-$26. —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |
