Wow. This has got to be the LAST time that they sounded like the 1960s Beach Boys. Those harmonies were perfect! I'm not one to gush like a fanboy, but WOW!
not true there is the campfire tv segment from the late 80s. ua-cam.com/video/8bAg73OBicg/v-deo.html Brian is there, its 100% live (this vid here propably isnt) and they even sing the first half of this song.
@@daveidmarx8296 yeah its quite amazing! I think its apparent that Brian never lost the know-how to harmonise and sing, but his voice just simply wouldnt cooperate like it did in the 60s. still its nice to hear him and also Mike Love actually comes off as a chill, cool dude which is pretty much never the case normally.
ML's specch is a little cheesy, as usual. But this is a great a capella rendition, as usual, by this wonderful group. Terrific footage, thanks for this upload. Fabulous to see Brian & Carl here together.
In 1983, Interior Secretary James Watt wanted to exclude the Beach Boys from the National July 4 celebration because he thought the rock element would be unsuitable for a patriotic celebration. Nancy Reagan reportedly got into his face and let him know she was not happy with that decision, and it was swiftly reversed. Ever since, the Boys have been known as America's Bank, I mean, Band.
Made me sad that they sang about them ending up buried side by side on a hill, because that's exactly where they are now, in Simi Valley California. I've been to their graves.
One of Brian Wilson's big influences was the Four Freshmen. This song, Full of Spring, was one of their hits. You hear Four Freshman harmony in many Beach Boys songs as admitted by Brian in an interview. But here the Beach Boys sound much better than the Four Freshmen. That fifth voice really makes a difference.
+sokerplair -- At 2:30, you can hear/see Carl come in a split second late with the high falsetto. That leaves me to believe that Carl was actually doing the majority of the high octave that you hear in this video.
2:36 Mike hears Brian hold his high note a split second too long and go ever so slightly flat and looks over to the man he famously referred to as having "dog ears" for harmonies and normally undetectable mistakes... seems dog ears run in the family, eh Mike? :p Seriously, though, this is beautiful and was by this time second nature to them as they'd been warming up with it and singing it since before they were famous, even. There used to be many clips of them breaking into this on the spot during talk shows, interviews, etc and no matter the year, or how they sound on other songs on a given night, they always sound like their young selves, circa '64, including Brian, when they sing this song. Brian really did the Four Freshmen proud.
I heard someone hold their note a little too long and then I heard someone go flat, and as I noticed it on the video I saw that Mike had noticed it as well. lol
+Robert Schirm Sir --yes, it really is BW, & that's what is so frustrating--or at least WAS, in the mid-80's. At any time he wanted to, BW could sing this well. He chose not to onstage to the total frustration of the band, especially Carl & Mike --they knew better, & it made them deeply resentful. In those days, the guys NEVER knew if BW would sing when he was supposed to, or if he did, how he'd choose to sound. It was to say the least, maddening. --The guys are singing to a pre-record , or at least it sounds like it to me! Wolfsky9
+Robert Schirm Sir--to add : in case you're wondering if that's Jeff Foskett on the pre-record, no it's not. As good as he once was, Jeff never had that " whine" you hear so perfectly from BW. Oh, he came close at times, but it wasn't the same, & he'd be the 1st to admit it. No, it REALLY is BW here. Wolfsky9
+Robert Schirm -- At 2:30, you can hear/see Carl come in a split second late with the high falsetto. That leaves me to believe that Carl was actually doing the majority of the high octave that you hear in this video.
+kelhenny12 I too think it was Carl singing the falsetto. Bruce definitely had the ability to do it, but I think he was doing tenor. Brian was singing alto I think. His voice by now had lost most of it's amazing qualities it had when he was younger. If you watch it carefully, It appears Brian is surfing around in the alto, tenor areas at will. From what insiders say, Brian so easily could map parts in his head that this would probably be easy for him. What an incredible contribution the Beach Boys have made to the world.
I'm sick of seeing dolts comments on Brian talking about "all the drugs he did" or his "mental illness" etc. Nobody fuckin knows what he did & if ya ain't a doctor don't say shit about his problems...the man is THE greatest music genius in American music history. Period.
Hey, now. I'm a liberal and I love the Beach Boys' music. Their current tour paints a fitting tribute to their career of 51 years. Thanks for the post.
Good day to all:We Love President Ronald Reagan,and We Love Nancy Reagan from all of our hearts!President Ronald Reagan was the greatest U.S.President in U.S.History with Deep Respect TG.
@J Kilroy, Carl, Brian, and Al are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd best singers of the band, respectively, and Brian is a better songwriter than all the other members combined, though they've all written some great songs.
Don't know the reason, but this didn't happen. There may have been talk of the current shell of a Beach Boys band, consisting of Mike Love and Bruce Johnston and a backup band, playing at Donald Trump's inauguration, but it didn't happen.
Anyone else notice how they all separated into what would becoming their touring groups? Bruce and Mike now tour together as The Beach Boys, and Brian and Al tour together. I'm willing to bet Carl would have chosen Brian and Al over Mike and Bruce in the "divorce" of The Beach Boys too.
Not sure - Carl and Brian (mostly Brian’s wife) didn’t get along too well for most of the 90’s… they only really made amends because Carl was dying. I have to imagine if Carl had remained healthy, the touring band would have chugged along into the 2000’s and maybe beyond. Obviously just my opinion, as we’ll never know what would have happened…
Reagan was the best president we've had since Kennedy, and it is fitting that the Beach Boys performed, also the best US band with the best harmonies of any band to date.
And he's there without being propped up with a tambourine. That's simply amazing. Of all the Beach Boys he's the least talented. And his nasal voice detracts from the beauty of the blend of the others voices.
Not perfection but pretty darn close to it. I've heard them do it better in concerts of yore. But still, nobody can harmonize like the Beach Boys. Even on an "off" night, they're still better than practically everybody. Notable exceptions might be Manhattan Transfer, Carpenters, EW&F, Beatles w/multiple harmonies, Bee Gees, ABBA, Eagles, CSN, The 4 Seasons, Mamas & Papas, The Chordettes and of course, The 4 Freshmen. The Osmonds and The Lennon Sisters sang great harmonies too, but they were more geared for television audiences.
bulky chaffinch I couldn't stand Reagan. I'm a *socialist*. I still love this arrangement and am glad it exists. Because music transcends politics and always will.
primroseburrows Well, I despise Obama, and I hate Socialists (I lost my health insurance, am crippled with taxes, and alienated in my hometown now due to socialist policies) However, on one thing we can certainly agree--that This is, indeed, beautiful music!
Wanna cry 0:48 when Brian puts his arm around Carl...
Brian was probably so scared up there, need his brother. Heartbreaking
@@JaKeW138
Brian hears voices that scare him
In this case that may have been a factor. Yet I think that he just loves his little brother.
Not many groups could do that.....
Not rock and roll bands anyway....you'd have to get into other genre's.
I miss Carl and Dennis, they were part of the Beach Boys we can never get back, Brian is and always will be the heart tho.
Wow. This has got to be the LAST time that they sounded like the 1960s Beach Boys. Those harmonies were perfect! I'm not one to gush like a fanboy, but WOW!

@@dmer-zy3rb That is incredible!! Never seen that before. It's like a late 80s version of the Party album. Thanks for the link!

@@dmer-zy3rb Idk I hear alot of his voice from the 60s
Who's singing the top part? Is it Brian or Bruce?
Not one other band would be able to sing harmony live like the boys do here.
No, the Eagles can it also
Perfection. Carl and Brian look so handsome here too.
Carl left us much too soon as well. Who would have ever thought Brian would ever out live his brothers?
Love the moment when Brian puts his arm on Carl's shoulder -- 0.47 -- Carl, Brian, and Al grouped together-- just perfect.
ML's specch is a little cheesy, as usual. But this is a great a capella rendition, as usual, by this wonderful group. Terrific footage, thanks for this upload. Fabulous to see Brian & Carl here together.
That was so fitting. The BB were, are, and always will be...perfection. Thank you for posting this.

+Steve Jump Ronnie and Nancy were right out there at the concert waving at the crowd in their own box
Made me sad that they sang about them ending up buried side by side on a hill, because that's exactly where they are now, in Simi Valley California. I've been to their graves.
1:05 Carl's eyes
What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful couple.
its very hard to say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Reagan your love story is wonderful we Miss both 😍😍😍
I remember seeing this on TV as a kid and my mother saying, "I guess they showed that James Watt!"

Carl
02:11 - 02:21 --> ABSOLUTELY GENIUS.
Oh my was brian doing a falsetto !?!? Or a mini version of it?
Yeah, Brian was still doing falsetto around that time. He was still making attempts until the 90s.
+sokerplair -- At 2:30, you can hear/see Carl come in a split second late with the high falsetto. That leaves me to believe that Carl was actually doing the majority of the high octave that you hear in this video.

Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, Al Jardine and late and missed Carl Wilson..........Worldclass guys....
Pause for a moment and kneel to pray at the altar of the God of Harmony, Brian Wilson.
I can imagine the sparkle in Nanci's eyes as she look at our President.
Wow. Tears in my eye it's so good.
I Was There
Wow. What a tribute to two great people.
You won't find a bigger Beach Boys fan than me...but this sounds like it was overdubbed...as in enhanced.
kinda sorta. they sang it fully live, but to a backtrack.
Is this Brian singing the falsetto?

How lovely
Exceptional performance.
Yo why doesn't this have millions of views?? This is amazing
Perfect.
@VA24541 i believe james watt was present with a concrete foot for putting his foot in it
Hey, now. I'm a liberal and I love the Beach Boys' music. Their current tour paints a fitting tribute to their career of 51 years.
Thanks for the post.
The libs and cons I know have long gone to Beach Boys concerts shoulder to shoulder.
Good day to all:We Love President Ronald Reagan,and We Love Nancy Reagan from all of our hearts!President Ronald Reagan was the greatest U.S.President in U.S.History with Deep Respect TG.
+TIRDAD GHARIB Only Bush w was worse then Reagan give me a break,. His own kids are Democrats.
Beach Boys will always have their shit ON POINT.
they are not lip synching, I think they were singing with a backing track, so there are ten voices not five
Carl is looking fine as wine
The part from 2:00 is just wonderful :)
Ohhhh so pleasant!!!!
I'm a left socialist and do love them dearly, too.!
From a moderate righty Texan, danke.
Beautiful
That's difficult to Brian have to do a falceto sharing the mic with Al. Pain in the spine haha
"A GREAT GROUP AND A GREAT PRESIDENT"❣️
God bless Carl and Deniss
1884 wow. Wish I had a time machine :D
Darn, that's good.
two words, Pet Sounds!
Here we can see the future of BB: Bruce and Mike sing apart from the others
Mike is going a lil off key😂
Great harmony..Murry would have been proud. They sang from the heart.
they qre simply the best
Mike must live in constant fear of gusts of wind
Lol it’s funny because he’s bald
Are you kidding me.
Trump will never have this love for him the beach boys are not fiy bye night like kid Rock or Ted Nugent who loves glen camb
The real beach boys on he left
@J Kilroy, Carl, Brian, and Al are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd best singers of the band, respectively, and Brian is a better songwriter than all the other members combined, though they've all written some great songs.
@GoodGamer3000 Al and Bruce are really underrated song writers, not as good as Brian, but still really good. Songs like Disney Girls and Lady Lynda.
Love Brian putting his hand on Carl's shoulder
What the hell is that annoying undgulating sound thoroughout? Isn't this pre auto tune?
Four Freshmen song Brian loved the Four Freshmen RIP Nancy
Is Bruce Doubling with Brian ?
With the young harmony and the mature still shining after many years
Classy opening speech 👏🏼
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
ALL THESE GUYS COULD SING DENNIS TOO
Wow such harmony 🥹
Unbelievable.
What is 100 years among friends?
why would they lip synch to their 1980s voices - what is the point
Love the beach boys
Love it! We love you guys 🥰
Really they went back in time to 1884? =S #noob#learnhowtotype
30 years later and the Beach Boys will play the Inauguration for Donald Trump.
Kelly Marshall to bad the whole band won't be there
Finally not
Don't know the reason, but this didn't happen. There may have been talk of the current shell of a Beach Boys band, consisting of Mike Love and Bruce Johnston and a backup band, playing at Donald Trump's inauguration, but it didn't happen.
Beautiful
Great Band.
what's he talking about, Nancy had more wrinkles than a Shar Pei.
+0sama Bin Bobbin ... You're thinking Barbara Bush.

Que hermoso y armonioso 😊
Was he still with landy at this time?
of course.
Yes; it is great, but they are also singing along with a pre-recorded track. Love it just the same.
July 4, 1884!?!? :D
Esse foi o PIOR momento na carreira dos Beach Boys. Não musicalmente, mas por dedicar uma homenagem dessas a um oligofrênico desses.
bruce johnston reminds me of sylvester stallone
The Beatles could never
Reagan was the best president we've had since Kennedy, and it is fitting that the Beach Boys performed, also the best US band with the best harmonies of any band to date.
Ted Kennedy was once in The Beach Boys.
Michael David he wrote “don’t go near the water”
And he's there without being propped up with a tambourine. That's simply amazing. Of all the Beach Boys he's the least talented. And his nasal voice detracts from the beauty of the blend of the others voices.
Hey genius - who wrote lyrics and some music to Warmth of the Sun, Big Sur, All I Wanna Do, and Good Vibrations?
I didn't even know Reagan had a heart...
Not perfection but pretty darn close to it. I've heard them do it better in concerts of yore. But still, nobody can harmonize like the Beach Boys. Even on an "off" night, they're still better than practically everybody. Notable exceptions might be Manhattan Transfer, Carpenters,

Mike Love is good because he makes every one else sound incredible!
is that Denis Wilson or Bruce Johnston?
Adventures & Survival in Thailand It’s Bruce, Dennis was gone by then.
Yup, that is what is so amazing about Brian Wilson. He does not look a day over 96..
great story !
Ladies and gentlemen, on the left: The Beach Boys... on the right: two clowns.
a young man is gone was never my favorite from the beach boys
Cringeworthy. Very disappointing that the great Beach Boys would pay tribute to one of the 3/4 most odious creeps ever to occupy the highest office.
Fascist. I guess you are only happy when performers pay tribute to the top most odious creep--Obama.
bulky chaffinch I couldn't stand Reagan. I'm a *socialist*. I still love this arrangement and am glad it exists. Because music transcends politics and always will.
