Thank goodness for Al. He is as real as it gets and an advocate of all the Wilson’s.

Keep it clean like Al Jardine.

Al Jardine always presents an interesting perspective to The Beach Boys' story because he is the only original non-family member (besides David Marks.) I love his "A Postcard from California" album and his work with Brian Wilson. Fortunate to see that pair during the 2019 tour as well as The Beach Boys in 2012 and back in 1980. I hope he continues his songwriting and making music. I've been to Carmel and Big Sur many times and always think of him. Best wishes to Al and all of the other Beach boys! Congratulations on the new documentary!

4:53 How about “Feel Flows”, “All This Is That”, “Surf’s Up”, “Til I Die”, “Long Promised Road”, “It’s About Time”, “Funky Pretty”, “This Whole World”, “Slip on Through”, “Mess of help”, “Hold On Dear Brother”, “Here She Comes”, “Cabin Essence”, “Sound of Free”, “Tears In The Morning”?!?!? 😳 I feel like “Endless Summer” shipwrecked them creatively. An entire amazing body of work is completely overlooked or flat out ignored… and we get “Kokomo” shoved down our throats for the millionth time.

I'm so glad you posted that list of tunes, because for me that is the real gold mine. Deep cuts from Surfs Up, Sunflower, Holland - SO many amazing songs. And this was after the absolute gem that would have been Smiile.

@@johncoltrane7899 I absolutely love that era and I think it’s a shame that it doesn’t get any shine. It would be like if all we heard about The Beatles was the fab 4/ mop top era. Imagine a Beatles doc that did 3/4 up until rubber soul and then rushed the rest as an afterthought. It sounds ludicrous, but that’s how I feel The Beach Boys are treated.

I'm glad Al doesn't toe the line and isn't all sunshine and roses

Who is sunshine and roses? There has NEVER been any time period ever in the Beach Boys careers that they weren't dysfunctional abused, and abusing psychos. Just listen to the tapes of Murray screaming and swearing at Brian in the studio early 60s. It never got better. Doing sound on the road meant dodging bullets literally, daily fights, lawsuits every 10 minutes - a nightmare. Then to close out the Peace era in '68 Dennis pissed off Manson stole his song, changed some words and put it out on his LP w/no credit to Charlie, this after letting Charlie's girls n boys stay and then take over his house on Sunset for a couple months. So of course Charlie has his minions go murder at the Producer Melcher's house for revenge except he didn't know Sharon Tate was leasing it blah blah blah; then Brian becomes captive of the psycho Beverly Hills Dr who finishes off what little brain Brian had left and it goes on to this day. Ob La Di Ob La F'd Up. 🤣

I love that Al said he was disappointed that it ended in 1980! There was so much more to be told!

I agree with Al - there's a lot more to tell than what is in this film - or in the new book, for that matter. The Beach Boys didn't end in 1980.

💯 I absolutely love the Rickey and Blondie era. Sunflower to Holland was such a fantastic era and all we ever hear about is “Endless Summer” and how they are “America’s Band”.

They kind of did end in 1980, as they stopped regularly releasing records that year and Dennis hit the skids before dying three years later. Scattered releases of more terrible music continued through the 1980s before ending with the deplorable "Summer in Paradise" in 1992. That tragedy was followed by another in 1998 when Carl Wilson died. Then the band basically folded into Mike's horrendous tribute band. So, yeah, they did end in 1980.

@@ronfowlermusic The only dreck they released between 1992 and 1998 was the criminal and deplorable "Stars & Stripes." After 1980 they only released garbage and the last few '70s records were more misses than hits, so I stand by my comment.

@@steventierney1422 we did get “That’s Why God Made The Radio” in 2012, and the reunion tour. That was their chance to correct course, and for a while it looked like that’s exactly what was happening… Brian even started writing a follow up album… and then Mike Love took a big dump in the picnic basket and ruined it. Brian’s excellent album “No Pier Pressure” was intended to be the follow up to TWGMTR. That’s why there are so many songs on it with the other Beach Boys. Even Blondie is on it… Mike ruined it for everybody.

In a perfect world Mike doesn’t get to tell his distorted story of The Beach Boys. Without Brian and Al telling the story than anything else is skeptical.

I would like to see David Leaf speaking on Brian's behalf.

God only Knows for me, was a song that moved popular music to a different area in the art of composing. Pop music grew up and was reaching out to the classical realms. Many composers from the 17th and 18th centuries have influenced modern day music. Bach for example. MCCARTNEY'S for know one and A Whiter Shade of Pale based on his air on a g string.

Mike Love is a huge tool. Always has been.

The doc was a great part one. The vocals only track of California Girls is stunning.

Whats your favorite song?….thats what the interviewer comes up with?

I really hope this documentary does the late 60s/ early 70s justice and doesn’t just focus on the aftermath of “Endless Summer”.

oh well, maybe next doc..

Just saw the documentsry yesterday evening. Made me really nostalgic. Been a Beach Boy Fan since 1976 and will ever be until the end of my life. I actually was born in Oct. 1961 when everything started for them. So it's a kind of connection to them and I used to play drums the way Dennis was playing. It was cool that way and not the regular way. Actually when I got married 25 years ago, we arranged that a classical trained singer together with the church organ performed "Forever". Still get chills when I'm thinking about it. Greetings from Germany.

Alan and Mike are legends, greetings from Mexico!

They never talk about the horrendous things Murry Wilson did to Brian. Brian's Dad had some serious mental issues.

It took forever but the Beach boys are now where they belong at the top of the heap.

I think Al, Mike and Bruce are just happy that anyone is interested in them at this point in their lives.

The problem is he is his own worst enemy. Instead of being grateful for being part of the group and all the fame and money that came with it, he can’t help himself with the … I wrote this and I wrote that and Brian screwed me because I didn’t get credits. Partial truths don’t support his arguments and it’s always been no Wilson’s no Beach Boys. In the early days he added some nice hooks and sang decently but by the mid to late 60’s he was nothing but problematic.

I’ve been a fan from the first time I heard Be True To Your School, I was 12 years old, I still have some of the original LPs my parents bought for me, Surfer Girl, Shut Down, All Summer Long, Summer Days and the Today Lp not to mention, Pet Sounds which I still carry the CD in our car, and the Surf’s Up LP. I have the books I’ve read, I played Bass Guitar in our band, my career of 30+ years in radio, played The Beach Boys on the air hundreds of time, saw Love and Mercy and to top it off, met the guys twice and the Wilson’s mom, Audrey with Carl and have the photos. I will tell you that Carl was an amazingly friendly guy to me, a stranger, we talked with his Mom, it was a great moment in my life being such a fan since I was 12..I won’t give Disney a dime to watch it..I pretty much know the deal, God only knows, a great American story….😊
