Sloop John B - Beach Boys Cover (Live From The Bus) 

You can tell by the way the lads are smiling at each other that they’re having a great time and that they all realize how much they’re all nailing it. Wicked cover.

Such a great cover the harmonies are spot on!!

I've been listening to beach boys for pretty much my whole life and I gotta say, I'm really glad I found this!

Greetings from Germany......wowwwww 😜😜😜....absolutly premium music!!! 🤩

You sing fantastically and wonderfully. It is a beautiful, great performance. I thoroughly enjoyed this performance. I only knew this song from the Beachboys repertoire

You all killed it! You done The Beach Boys proud!!!!

Good job, boys! When I was in college in the early 1960s in Southern California, my favorite group was the Beach Boys.

Absolutely adored that wonderful arrangement and very nice 👍

Hey Josh, this is Ryan’s dad. Have you guys covered Beach Boys “Little Deuce Coupe”

WOW!! These guys harmony vocals are AMAZING!! Really well done!!

So good ,this is insane .!🇮🇪🎶 .

Brilliant

Great performance

That was fun👍✌️

🤩🤩💟❣️💗💓💞👍👍👍...j'adoooore..bravo

I hate to say it, but this far outshines the Beach Boys.

Nice!!!

Шикарное исполнение!!!

Groovy

Wow! even better than the original! Прекрасное исполнение - не отличишь от Beach boys, браво!

You go, Napoleon!

would they do Harry Chapin?

😊

Can’t believe The Beach Boys used to cover this song.

As excellent as Josh is in so many ways, not everyone has a good falsetto voice, in fact not all singers can sing in a decent falsetto, but Josh does have that😉.

The bass player is absolutely an essential to this operation

I am 71 and have listened to the Beach Boys recordings for years. This is the best cover of Sloop John B that I have heard.

Seeing kids singing 60s songs really makes me happy. Great job.

I wonder if many people realize how insanely complicated this song is to pull off. Not just the arrangement, but everything down to the most minute vocal has to be spot on. Probably why this masterpiece is rarely covered. You guys freaking nailed it out of the park. Kudos👍

I lost my sister in 2015 to MS , our favorite song was Sloop John B , after she passed we were cleaning out her place and I was taking some of her things to her friends in Vancouver , I was alone in the car and a 60s Rock channel was playing , thinking of her I spoke out loud and asked her to play Sloop John B on the radio , as God is my witness seconds later it came on . Rest in Peace Carey .

I'm 67 and been listening to the Beach Boys since I was 10. You fellas have blown my mind. To be this young and be THAT good is incredible. Keep up the good work. Great music for these quarantine days.

I would legitimately pay to see this line up tour playing Pet Sounds live.

I'm 65 yrs young, and I can't tell you how much it moves me to see these young people embracing my generations music. You guys are awesome!!!!!!

Josh Turner, Everything you touch is gold. This is from a guy who still remembers the day 'love me tender' by Elvis came out.

Brian Wilson is a flipping genius. Guys, please do even more BB's.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess which guy was Garfunkel. One of the best things about Josh's channel is watching the smile on his face when it all comes together. Priceless. Keep it up! Enjoy these immensely.

Thank you guys for this awesome cover. Im 72 and Im crying so hard...brings back such great memories. ❤❤

The bass player is stellar - that is not the easiest bass line to play - love all the harmonies, esp. the high harmony. Keep doing what you are doing!

Respect to these young and fine Gentlemen.Well done. I am 74, and think this is the best cover of this song I ever heard.

Love the bass line. He nailed it.

I play this whenever I need a boost. Sometimes you just need to see someone enjoying their craft and company. Thanks for making me smile....again.

The Beach Boys have rightfully taken their place amongst the greatest rock and roll bands of all time... i STILL think they're underrated. They were/are that GREAT ! Well done, fellas.

Dude imagine if these guys did some of the other songs from pet sounds with a similar lineup. I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times would make me cry.

I just love how these guys are true to the song. Not flashy, either. I’m a fan.

You can see how much fun they are having. You can also see when they know they've nailed it. To me, that's the best.

I never cease to be amazed at the talent and versatility of Josh Turner. He must be the most underrated talent of the day. And he finds such talented young people to perform with. If you need an uplift just find a Josh Turner vid. I discovered him when looking for Don't Think Twice Its Alright. His performance trumped Dylan's and make my eyes water.

It's the best version I've ever heard of that song. The group is just fantastic.

Past tense of sleep is sloop

Just a roomful of nerds making the world a better place. Thanks guys.

It's official. I've listened to every cover of "Sloop John B" on the internet - and this is the best one. Everyone can quit trying, there's no point. This is the best one.

I thought the guy second from the left was just hanging out but then I realized he was doing a great falsetto

Wow, Art Garfunkel looks great, glad to see he’s still making music

This is probably one of the best versions of any song I've ever heard, cover or no. The leads, Joshua and Carson are fantastic, but seriously all of you guys are really tremendous. I've never commented on any RU-vid videos. Ever. But had to comment on this. It's such a happy sounding song and you all sound so good together, you've really made my day. I'm so happy I found this video. I've been sitting on my sofa with my 3 year old son, singing along with it. Priceless. Truly wonderful 😀

Wow. Not a weak link in the whole chain! Everyone performs great individually and as a band. Just great.

The best thing about this video is Napoleon Dynamite harmonising #Skills

It’s nice you have friends.

josh clearly enjoying the falsetto singing :)

OMG! This is fantastic! I wish I had had people around me who could sing like this, years ago! You guys are wonderful! The best cover of Sloop John B. that I have ever heard! The Beach Boys should be very proud! Thank you for posting!

Somebody said “just a bunch of nerds”......Gosh I wish I was one of those nerds!!! That was just spectacular!!!

I was a teen when this came out and believe me, you guys just did a great job!!! Talent in spades!

This is my favorite Beach Boys song and these guys were incredible.

Absolutely nailed it! Such a meticulous cover played flawlessly, great job!

Kick ass everything really but damn that falsetto was rich! Love it guys. Full speed ahead!

For his hair's sake, I'm hopin' Ben Cooley played Garfunkel.

Singing a Beach Boys song while wearing a Pink Floyd shirt! How awesome is that!

Amazing. For years Josh has my favourite RU-vid artist. Not many people have his talent.brilliant

Sorry 45 times….. hard to believe that young people could cover this classic song so true, raw and authentically. The instrumental is great but the perfectly timed harmony kills it!! Absolutely perfect!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I had to watch this like 15 times to watch each instrument and vocal and beat and harmony to really believe that these kids covered this song so beautifully.

47 years old...from Argentina...not the better times right now.....Your smile and harmonies brings joy to my life...thanks

This is absolutely brilliant! It really puts a smile on my face, thanks so much!

Not Everyone can do a Beach Boys cover and do it justice like that. The perfectionism within their music makes it such a tough act to follow, not only their sound. Plus, the nostalgia they haul is unbeatable, but THAT, that reminded me of beach childhoods.

Its nice that you let napolean dynamite play too

Made a second account just to like it again

I lived not far from the Wilsons and my brother knew Carl. As a small kid i got to go to their house twice in the early 60's. Will never forget. Great job guys.

It’s a shame I can only like these videos once. That doesn’t sufficiently convey how much I actually like them.

Real singing, real instruments and melody. Gives me hope the world will survive.

They even talked Art Garfunkle into sitting in on this one... Impressive!!!

young people playing The Beach Boys! Yes, we still have hope...

I'll join the "Oldies" group at 73 years young. Also respect and love to these young musicians and their talent! I've been watching this young talented guitarist for a while when he post. Most folks our age know and love this song. Please....Keep it. A god given talent shouldn't be wasted!!

Josh is definitely one of the best musicians I have seen in RU-vid so far. All his live covers are nearly flawless and sound like perfect studio recordings with no AutoTune or pitch correction software in sight, while he is a fantastic guitarist, singer and acapella arranger all at the same time. Not to mention his musical tastes are diverse as well, from Chopin and choral music to Hendrix, The Beatles and The Beach Boys - you just cannot get better than that!

this is arguable one of the greatest songs ever written and you guys crushed it.. such a lovely rendition it was really nice to listen to. TY.

As a 180 year old man, I must say how appreciative I am of your oldies covers. I watch them with my great-great-great grandkids to show them what it was like when I was a young, 130 year-old whippersnapper

Love this song! And your falsetto!

Amazing guys! Great harmonizing! Even Brian would be proud!

Man, I've must've watched this about 4 times now. So good!

"Nice", Josh? Really? This is astonishing! Amazing!

It's amazing how Rock and Roll influences the younger generation. That song is older than everyone in the band. Heaven has one Helluva Rock'n'roll band. God bless music! The ultimate universal language.

That put a smile on my face. Awesome cover!

I literally clicked on this video alone Like 5000 times

My grandfather was named John Boyer, and he loved to sail. He passed away this year at the age of 90. I'm listening to this video in his memory

Brian Wilson re-arranged this song ,which was his genius ability, for the Beach Boys. The song was Al Jardine's idea. This song was originally recorded by the Kingston Trio although they did not write the song. This Live From The Bus Group absolutely nailed this song and may have out Beach Boyed the Beach Boys which is saying a lot.!?

This video is a classic! People are going to be watching it for years and years. Thanks a lot guys for brightening up so many days!

Ha! The young Art Garfunkel (left from Josh!)

The guy in the hat and glasses has a fantastic voice for this song

Love the Beach Boys BUT this is BRILLIANT !!!

We come on the sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up I want to go home So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home The first mate he got drunk And broke in the Cap'n's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home (Hoist up the John B's sail) Hoist up the John B I feel so broke up I wanna go home Let me go home The poor cook he caught the fits And threw away all my grits And then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home Why don't they let me go home This is the worst trip I've ever been on So hoist up the John B's sail See how the mainsail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I wanna go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home

We can’t stop playing this - you’re all living your best live❣️ Bravo❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've watched this countless times. Perfection.

Josh has a cool "Rick Moranis" thing going on there.

You just don't see Taylor Swift or lady Gaga or even the Stones having this much FUN making music; Josh and the boys re-define entertainment...
