@@marcusbradley4399 I'm glad we still have Brian. I wish we still had Carl. It's gotta be hard on him having outlived his younger brothers. My BF is in the same position (outlived both of his younger siblings), and he still head trips about it.

Brian is one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk the earth. Pure, pristine, unblemished, ego-less, and as bright as chrome in the sun. Thank you, God, for Brian. Can we borrow him for just a little longer? I’m sure the angelic chorus is missing his voice, but we still need him.

WoW! No matter how many times you hear Brian Wilson sing it's always like your hearing him for the first time! His singing is so Pure and Beautiful the voice of an Angel singing! Never will there be another Brian Wilson!

Brian’s child-like innocence makes me want to keep anyone from ever hurting him again.

I see Christopher Cross, Bruce Johnston and Timothy Schmit singing backup...wow! Brian looks and sounds great!!

Such a beautiful, incredible man!! Such a musical genius! So many generations have been touched through his lyrics and music.

A true legend Brian Wilson

Who would have thought that 23 years later, Brian would still be recording and touring?!

Brian Wilson is a musical genius! God has given this man a mega-gift.

This man is an international treasure! I was not into The Beach Boys in the sixties;; more into James Brown and Motown. Rediscovered them recently and am absolutely blown away by Brian’s harmonies, instrumentation, use of voices as instruments and unique bridges. That’s not even to mention how he expresses all that we feel as humans. If I could spend 15 minutes with any living person it would most definitely be Brian Wilson.

Like you, I was into 'other' music, namely British Invasion of the time, chiefly the Beatles, and the Beach Boys didn't catch my ear until 'Don't Worry Baby', and later 'I Get Around'. But only a few years back did I become a HUGE Brian Wilson and Beach Boys fan.

Couldn't have said it any better, Jim! I keep coming back to this video several times a year. It may have been BW at his peak in later years. Based on his personal history of disliking to perform live, this is something of a miracle! (I think his wife Melinda is underappreciated, too!)

Imagination had some fantastic songwriting but Joe Thomas' corny production choices kind of reduced the quality of the final product. On Spotify there is an acapella of Imagination and it's incredible. The Harmonies, the melodies are superb. I feel like Brian wants to surround himself with people who make him feel comfortable more than anything, but sometimes his music suffers for it. I feel like if he had a great modern producer like Paul Epworth or Daniel Lanois who really get 60s+70s production he could still make a great album that stands the test of time. But then again, Brian is years past the age most people retire and decades past the age most musical geniuses like him die. We shouldn't really be demanding anything of him, considering just how much he's already given the world in spite of his struggles with mental health and addiction.

​@@robbiedubbelman3024Unfortunately, Brian was working with producers who understood him shortly before this. The Andy Paley sessions bore so much interesting music, very artistic and novel arrangements and productions akin to his 60s output. He then had the opportunity to be produced by Sean O'Hagan of the High Llamas which, most of us know would have unequivocally resulted in his best ever solo album. It was Melinda who instructed Brian to move away from Andy Paley and toward Joe Thomas. I actually like Imagination a lot but, there's absolutely no reason the Paley sessions couldn't have been finished in its own right before moving on to Joe Thomas. Check out You're Still A Mystery on the Made In California album - really novel chord progressions, super eerie and ominous atmosphere - and, features The Beach Boys' vocals. It really is quintessential Beach Boys both in terms of style and substance, it's just a shame Melinsa misjudged the situation so badly

@mikedavis8008 I think there's a lot of pre-recorded stuff going on here. When he does the title track (approx. 25 minutes in) you hear a lot of harmonies but an absence of anyone (apart from Brian) onstage providing those harmony parts. Besides, they sound like Brian's voice (multi-tracked). It's a great album, loved it since it came out, but this 'live' show sounds too close to the recording to be accepted as a genuinely live concert. David Evans.

He STILL sounded GREAT! What a BEAUTIFUL voice! 👏🏽

Brian's music is his gift to our ears - so pure and heartbreakingly authentic in every way.

Brian did such an amazing job at this concert 💯 My Dad would've loved and enjoyed watching this video; he was a huge Beach Boys fan! He's the one that got me into the Beach Boys ever since I was a kid. He had a great taste in music!

I still love this album. Great songs, arrangements and the Brian Wilson touch.

I always loved Brian singing when growing up. I will be eternally thankful for his music. This documentary filled my heart with hot as I watched it. Thank you Brian!!!!

He'a gone through such hard times and he didn't lose his softness, this is what I respect on him the most, he's a strong and wise person. I wish him so the best. I love you Brian..🇧🇷💚💙💛

He's a true SURVIVOR -- and he withstood Mikey's pushing, as well, for all those years.

We never have and never will deserve the blessing to the world that is Brian Wilson

Wow! You are a pure gifted musical genius! I wish you were only about 30s-40’s so you could go another 40 years! Thank you for all you’ve done! I grew up with all these songs. I’m from L.A./O.C. And I remember vacations water skiing in Illinois with a group of friends there and then CA. Girls would come on.. I loved it! I still love Good Vibrations forever!

This album came out not long after both my dad and best friend died within two months of each other so this really helped me with my grief. I love Brian and his music - it has really helped me and inspired me. When I hear the word genius, the first person I think of is Brian Wilson!

Never ceases to amaze me. 😭😭😭. Perfect.

Love seeing Brian happy, smiling, and so enthusiastic! Enjoyed hearing from his wife and seeing their family of children and dogs. Enjoy listening to the new selections too! Pleased to hear he has that studio in the basement of his home! He needs to put it to good use everyday!❤

Beautiful. Never heard this before.

Surfs up till I die!! Thanks Brian for writing the soundtrack of our lives!! 🌞

Brian is America!

I just finally saw this and was worried about the post Landy Era, but Brian, this was beautiful. I've listened to this album and I loooove it, it came out of nowhere and I'm in love!!!!!

He is the most humble mega-musician/composer that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting backstage.

One of my most favorite concerts of all time was seeing Brian Wilson and incredible band play and perform the entirety of Pet Sounds and selections from Smile, and a whole set prior filled with the Endless Summer-type hits, but seeing Pet Sounds in full, performed by and with its creator was musical heaven; it honestly felt like I was in the presence of one of the great composers in the rock and historical musical pantheon, like Bach, the Bach of rock!

That short clip of Dennis putting his arms around Brian and Carl and pulling them all together was a real tear jerker for me. They were all worn out, battle scared and in need of healing at that point. Brian singing "Lay Down Burden" while it was shown really just went straight to the heart. Point 43:23. Point 40:25 for whole song (written by Brian to help him lay down the heavy burden of losing his two brothers.

I’m blown away - really.

Wow the interview with Sean Lennon was pretty amazing.

The Imagination album is so damn good. Yeah Joe Thomas’ production choices make it sound a little too commercial, but the songwriting is impeccable and Brian’s vocals are really damn good.

The dude on the keyboard when "She Needs Me " starts is from the group, Chicago (Robert Lamm ?) Jim Peterik with the loud striped shirt and hollow body acoustic was in Survivor and Shadows of Knight out of the city of Chicago. This was when solo Brian was his best in health and writing,I believe. So glad he has an adoring family and support.

With Timothy Schmidt you cant go wrong..Brian Wilson rocks

What a band - chris cross, timothy b schmitt...

My Dad went Fishing with Dennis along time ago in a Galaxy far far away, Dennis was the nicest person ever, he had a Heart as big as all outdoors! ❤ I miss him so much 💕

this is literally one of the most underrated pop records ever. every song is so fucking good

We all have touchstones of Music, usually from our teens. Songs we know every word to, Songs that transport us. I was in. my Teens during the Beach Boys (and Motown!) -- Heaven!

Simply fantastic...an amazing musician, a magical concert!

Hearing Clapton say how I Get Around blew him away during the Yardbirds or Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and then getting influenced by the power of the Pet Sounds that influenced so many of those eventual powerhouse artists and acts from England. The power and magic of music and the influence it connects always amazes and excites me as a music and history fan of all of these people.

Awesome feature and love seeing TBS!

They were before the Beatles in my life!!!!

I grew up in Inglewood (one town north of Hawthorne) Brian and I were born in the same hospital in Inglewood. When I get discouraged and lose my way I put on some Beach Boys and everything is right with the world again Reminds me where I am from and who I am. Brian has touched so many lives with his music. I gave his Imagination cd to my oldest brother and he loves it.

Brian is a musical superstar. Getting to know who The Beach Boys were back in the late 60’s was just a fantastic.

I have always love ❤️ the music Brian has written and has a great harmony. I will always be a #1 fan. Brian Wilson pet sounds concert was just a complete blast 💥. My hoodie from the concert always gets me many compliments. ♥️

I loved Imagination at first listen when it came out, and often revisit it. Probably Brian’s best post-BBs work, despite the very “of its time” production. The songs really shine in this live setting, I wish the record had been cut with this sort of vibe. How good is Brian here?! His falsetto on She Says That She Needs Me is just soaring. I have seen Brian many times from 2002 onwards, including the BBs 50th anniversary tour, and all were compelling but his performances here are out of this world.

Brian Wilson is The Beach Boys I’ve always had a problem with how the group used so many different people with their touring. I just choose to think of Brian as the constant that made such wonderful music

I was never a big Christopher Cross fan but Cross fits with these guys perfectly. With the album Imagination, Brian Wilson proved he was the essence of the Beach Boys. Even the kate great master Sir George Martin -- the Beatles' genius producer visited Brian Wilson to discuss his process. After all, The Beatles were 4 composers + George Martin & The Beach Boys at their best -- had only Brian. This is why he was admired so much.
