The simplicty of his lyrics is what I love most about Brian Wilson. He takes those words to a place that always touches my heart, and I can almost see into his as he weaves that besutiful music into them. There will never be another Brian Wilson.

Brian rocking the leather pants & dancing like my Dad at a wedding, love it!!

Each time Brian emerges in a new decade, he emerges as a new person rarely resembling the last incarnation.

Classic.

Brian rules.

the best version..

While this is a great performance, it makes me so sad as we all know that isn’t really Brian, not the true Brian Wilson. This is Eugene Landy’s programmed version of Brian, and it makes me so sad to know that while Brian is giving a great performance, he was being tortured by Landy in private, and would never fully recover from years of abuse both drug and emotional.

1.38 scares me to death just how medicated he is..

However you view this performance, the courage Brian must have had to find to perform out front like this with his crippling insecurities is just outstanding.

He looks really good here!

His eyes are too glittery. Just sayin'.

Such a great song even if it is Landry produced.

Oh my. He looks like some kind of Frankenstein, created by Landy. It's Brian's body but he's not there.

A sort of triumph for Brian at the time, I suppose, but it has that degenerate Landy look all over it. For me, unless I see Darian and The Wondermints, or Al Jardine on stage with Brian, I'd have doubts about what underhanded orchestrations were going on behind the scenes. Thankfully, I think that today his band, wife, and friends have his back; and best interests.

you know - they don't make other people who primarily play at the piano strut around uncomfortably - (which is why - before and after this period - Brian is generally at the piano...or keyboards at least - though one time he had a keetar) - Landy was a moron if he thought making Brian do stage moves looked better than him at the piano - haha - you know what else might have helped - sunglasses - (and wearing them at night wouldn't look any goofier than the leather pants here) - I know Roy Orbison was much more comfortable with them on - the few gigs Ive played - Ive worn sunglasses - if you are a nervous person -taking out the eye contact part of things really helps (or even Brian's "smart" glasses he wore during Pet Sounds....same effect)
