+TheDiabethick Many great singers do that lol in particular, Joe Cocker did that a LOT. When I sing, I kind of do it too. It's really just a matter of getting as much of your body into your singing as you can, and it somehow feels right, despite it looking odd to others.
evry musician even the legends like elton & sir paul & dylan take their hat off to brian..he is the man he started it all from the late 50's early 60's he was the tunesmith..
i guess getting older means having emotions closer to the sufrace. this music never made me cry when i was a kid. now i cant help it. maybe its because i appreciate beauty more now that ive seen the ugliness people inflict on others, and the harmony, purity, and innocence of beach boys music means so much more.

You obviously came from another planet of which I implore you to return to. Since when did looks make someone other than what you think they are? Tell it to Steven Hawking ô¿ô
@gpawlicki Thank you for that. I realize now that I need to know alot more about music, if I am ever going to understand what you just said. Maybe I will someday. Thanks for caring !
@Jeff5196 "Moving the goal posts" is just an analogy for "changing the game". The technical point is equally simple. Basic chords, a.k.a. triads, contain 3 notes. Think of them as every other white key on a piano (take a, c & e from abcdefga to get an A minor chord) . EJ is crediting BW with using the c or the e as the lowest note. The idea has been around for ever, e.g. in jazz or anything post-Monteverdi in classical - though maybe was "rediscovered." BW did lots of stuff so well. . .
Could someone who knows keyboards and music, please explain what EJ meant at sec 45 to 50, with regards to BW, "moving the goalposts" when it came to writing songs??? Elton said he was getting 'very technical', and it sure sounds like it ! I would like to have some understanding of what Elton meant, if that's possible, without giving me a semester of music lessons. I am just a consumer of great music, not a creator.
In a scale you start with the root then have seven notes in that scale the definition of a chord is any combination of a root and a third or a fith note played at the same time. You can add any note in but a chord has to be a root and a third or fith. For example your typical chord is comprised in a root a third and a fifth. Brian was one of the first song writers in pop and rock that would have the bass note weather played on piano or bass guitar to play a fith a third or sometimes a seventh giving the chord structures to his music a highly unuique and game changing quality. Before this the baas useally play the root and the rest of the chord structures would be built up from there. Truly a genuis.
It is just soooo good to see these two legendary artists up on stage together ... Elton's words here are poignant, & so true .. pure & simple .. exquisite !!
in the 60s i wasnt very keen on the beach boys but since live aid ,i love them ,and this video is fantastic,i like brian wilson,he sings like an ordinary man,but with a huge experience of life ,the ups and downs
When was this recorded? I don't think Brian sings quite this much anymore. He let's his band handle lead vocals while he occasionally claps and sings back-ups.
I luv u Uncle Eltie!
First time seeing this....amazing!!!
if sir elton comes to your gig and fills you with so kind words, believe me, you must be pretty damn good!
goes straight to my pandemic playlist in early 2020.
Who is the fat clown on the left of Brian?
Someone better than you.
@@kathleencollins5531 Hahaha, would not like to hear him play Beethoven or Bach ....
Why is everybody expressive but Brian ?
Isn't that Van Dyke Parks in the audience when the clip starts?
Elton doesnt know what to do with his hands! XD

That was really cool. Brian's voice sounds (nostalgically) good here!
2 of the best ever for sure. they are certainly 2 of my favorites.
touching...
God I love the band! Brian is blessed with them, and they are blessed with him,.
Two of my VERY FAVORITES IN THE WORLD!!!! Love you both. Love this song too. Thank you!
FABULOUS performance by two of my favorites + GREAT song.
Wouldnt it be nice if ELTON JOHN was a member of the beach boys ??
Gotta give it up to Elton for a hell of a job. Too bad neither of these guys could duplicate this effort in 2012...
00:52 Finish and let me fucking sing.
That just makes me smile...

Brian Wilson is a Rock God!
I've never really understood why brian doesnt play keyboards when they're infront of him. Does it make feel comfortable.
now thats the beach boys--not whats on tour these days

Heroes
@CeeRoyJenkins he looks naked hahaha
@CeeRoyJenkins - mmm, could that be because he's never been the lead singer in a band?
You obviously came from another planet of which I implore you to return to. Since when did looks make someone other than what you think they are? Tell it to Steven Hawking ô¿ô
what great harmony!!!!! even with brian not at his best-it sounds fantastic!
Jeffie! Lose some weight dude!!! Get well.
@CeeRoyJenkins it's like watching paul mccartney without his bass.
You can tell Elton John doesn't know what to do in a song without a piano in front of him lol, look at all his gestures
@gpawlicki Thank you for that. I realize now that I need to know alot more about music, if I am ever going to understand what you just said. Maybe I will someday. Thanks for caring !

Is that Chris Cross to the left of Brian Wilson?

Pet Sounds really does blow your head off, its so unbelievable.

Love it! Thanks! Still these videos with their endings cut off always makes me wonder WHY?

Come on. Check the original recording of this song from Pet Sounds. Brians voice at it's best.
Brians wife at 0:25!!!
I canot believe that Elton is reading the lyrics from a prompter in front of the stage!
Elephant John as Morecambe and Wise
this video is brilliant..
Elephant John as Eric Morecambe put it,he could sing Puff the magic Dragen,two for the price of one
Luv it
What an unbelievable performance. The singing by the lead vocals are very good, but the backings and the whole sound of the song is just fantastic!
ur an idiot
