You bring up an excellent point about the 2004 release though. It does seem like a simplified version and it makes sense that they'd release it before taking it on the road. While it is a great listen you can tell it's not exactly the masterpiece that it was intended to be.

Well, the opposite of this actually, the tour begat the album. As in, Brian was wrapping up his Pet Sounds tour, and they thought "How can we top
that?" The answer was a SMiLE Tour, so they compiled a 45 minute set comprising of three suites of music, all from the aborted SMiLE album and surrounding mythos. That tour was such a success, they went in and made a studio version of it, and that is the album Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE.
