take a listen to susan cowsill's terrific version of this song! she is sister of john cowsill who has been the drummer for the beach boys for nearly 25 years up until recently!!
Jeffrey Foskett - simply one of The BEST, and an important figure in The Beach Boys' legacy. You inspired SO many and will be missed dearly. Your lead, and what this song makes people feel combined - tears, man.
Unfortunately, time kills all music even the Beachboys. Who listens to Gershwin or Handel anymore except for a select few. How many radio stations can you find either of these aforementioned greats on. Few if any. Ask a 16 year old if they even heard of Gershwin. Sorry but the Beachboys will also disappear into obscurity just like all of their predecessors. What happened to the Dorsey brothers and all the great vocalists from the 30s and 40s? Where can you hear them?
when this was a new song, I used to play it over the loudspeaker at the public pool where I worked. I still to this day have people thanking me for playing the great soundtrack as part of their summer time experiences.
I was fortunate to have met Jeffrey Foskett . Extremely humble and talented person who actually was Brian Wilson’s musical director. RIP my musical brother. You will be sorely missed…🙏
With all due respect (and I love their music) Brian is NOT a musical genius. Like Billy Joel , Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney and Elton John they write pop music. Usually for vocals, guitar and keyboards. All very gifted and talented, but not geniuses. Men like a Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Schumann, Haydn, Vivaldi, etc. were truly brilliant. They wrote operas, orchestral music, string quartets, choral music and more. They wrote for every instrument and without the benefit if any technology. No ability to playback or vocal enhancement! Just ponder that. BTY, Much if Brian’s chords and progressions were directly lifted from the Four Freshmen a great vocal quartet fro the 1950’s.
@@denniselber9195 Well Denny boy, that's simply your unsolicited opinion. I'm not the only one who has said that. Many musicians that I respect, and have succeeded in the music biz, have said it. Every lick, lyric, chord and progression has been played by someone somewhere. It's ALL passed on. It's not just Brian Wilson and the 4 Freshman, Mr. "God's gift to interpreting who's a genius in the music world". Give me a fking break you douche! Tell your bullshit to producer Don Was. You know who that is, don't you? Besides, who in the fk asked you? When I want your advice I'll contact you, so stay out of my posts. I don't like YOU and don't want to be penpals. So, STFU! Now, here's my unsolicited opinion you should always remember. Don't start any unnecessary shit and there won't be any. Shoo fly!
@@dzfz2100 I’ve Ben a big fan if Brian Wilson since 1963 and love his music. I think he writes great melodies. There is no question however, that he lifted a lot if his chordal structures fro the Four Freshman a fifties Vick group. Brian us an extremely talented guy. He is not.a studio level pianist or bass player. My point was the term “genius” is employed entirely too much and nit necessarily accurate. Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart , Handel May have been geniuses. They wrote for orchestras, string quartets, chamber music, operas and small and large chiral groups, all without the benefit of modern technology or even the ability to record and play back. No vocal enhancements or over dubbing. By the way, I’m a classically trained musician with an honors degree in music. I’ve done lots of studio work and commercials. We still live a free country and I don’t need anyone’s permission to give an informed opinion, We all have that right, What are your musical credentials?
Brian Wilson was seated at the keyboard. He wrote and sang this song originally. His voice is unmatched and can’t be duplicated even though Froskett does a great rendition here.😍
Thank you for this video. Paul McCartney called "Don't Worry Baby" the most beautiful popular song ever recorded. I agree. All these years later, it still touches me just as it did the first time I put that album on the turntable. Beach Boys Forever! God Bless Brian Wilson!
One of the best songs ever from the Beach Boys. I was born in 1946 and grew up with the most beautiful music ever for teenagers. I am not religious, but thanks God I was born in that year.
I grew up listening to The Beach Boys as they have been around for well over 50 years. I loved all their songs and still sing to myself many of their songs today. Man, it is a Bitch Getting Old.
Yeah, but just think of all the old memories and good times we had in Jr. High and high school listening to these on our AM radios and playing 45's on our "record players"!
I absolutely love this one. Takes me back to the 60s in Cardiff, met my husband in 1969 dancing to songs like this. Been married 50 years this year omg can't believe it.
Nice to see David back in the band after decades - Jeff is amazing on the tenor lrad, and so is John Cowsill on drums (a really talented drummer indeed). I just feels right, after all the tragedy, to see David come back, and I hope he's healthy again. God bless these lads, for all of the pure enjoyment they've given us.
What can you say great song fantastic live rendition, don`t forget these guys ain`t getting younger, im 68 and was bought up in my teens to these sounds.
Jeff Foskett sings lead on this one and Brian Wilson does back up. You can hear Brian's voice. Jeff also does the higher notes on the other songs where its difficult for Brian to do. Its always seemless. Its just great to hear these songs by the surviving members of the Beach Boys 50 + years in. I think its selfless of Brian to let his friend Jeff help with the vocals to keep it sounding reasonably fresh. Great song!
@@stuartperry8141 He did through 1965 and sporadically in the 1970's and fairly regularly through 1985, then was quite scarce on a live stage after that.
RIP Jeff. Thank you for helping keep the Beach Boys' music and legacy alive
Oh man, just found out. What sad news.
@@jomsShootshe was a treasure.
Beach boys without Brian is. Like bread without butter
Mjh7178
Jeff was awesome. RIP
@@Michael-m1m8f I agree
Oldest brother, Brian Wilson, is still going strong! I grew up with The Beach Boys in the 1960s! They were my favorite band back then.
Jeffrey Foskett, your beautiful voice will be sorely missed. Time now to sing for the angels.
take a listen to susan cowsill's terrific version of this song! she is sister of john cowsill who has been the drummer for the beach boys for nearly 25 years up until recently!!
I'm 70 years old and I love these beautiful songs forever. Sweet memories. ❤
RIP Jeff Foskett, the man providing the falsettos in this Beach Boys live performance who just passed away today at the age of 67. 😥
Same at 70 🙏
Jeff Foskett’s voice perfectly fit on this song.❤
R.I.P. Jeffrey Foskett

How easily he sings those difficult notes😢 priceless
ありがとうジェフリー。名曲と共に安らかに
Hahah Brian chilling singing when he wants. Love him so much
RIP Jeff Foskett.
This music is timeless, it will never die.
I Couldn't have said it better than that.
Brian and the Beach Boys are an American gift to the entire world. This jam packed show in Japan!#%&! is proof of that fact.
They were amazing, grew up with these guys, i’m 70 years old and still loving it!!!!!!!

They said the same thing about Gershwin. Don’t delude yourself!

The music has a timeless quality. Like all fine art.
The Beach Boys was the first concert I ever went to. My brother and I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl 1965. Have never stopped loving their music.
The man who saved the Beach Boys! R.I.P.
Timeless 😢 i am 19 and love Brian and the Beach Boys. I will make sure to share their music with my children. The Beach Boys will never be forgotten!
I was fortunate to have met Jeffrey Foskett . Extremely humble and talented person who actually was Brian Wilson’s musical director. RIP my musical brother. You will be sorely missed…🙏

@@Gordonsmusic911 Well said. If Brian wanted to compose classical music I think he could.
@@denniselber9195 I think your opinion about Brian Wilson is very much in the minority, especially amongst musicians whose opinions actually matter.

Good job for Jeff singing in Brian's style, respecting the Beach Boys legacy and also for Bruce having strong vocals on this song too!
Jeff did more than anyone else to keep Beach Boys music alive and relevant
One of the FINEST songs in history
I agree, the melody plays all over and the vocal harmonys well...
That’s what Paul McCartney believes
Brian Wilson was seated at the keyboard. He wrote and sang this song originally. His voice is unmatched and can’t be duplicated even though Froskett does a great rendition here.😍
Thanks Jeff. Kept the Sound alive after Brian. Beautiful falsetto
This was the prettiest song they ever recorded.
You Know It !
Completely agree
Absolutely. My favorite BB song
Love it but search Lorrie Morgan and the BB singing it…AWESOME
Agreed
Jeff nailed it on this one. His vocals are off the chart.
Thank you for this video. Paul McCartney called "Don't Worry Baby" the most beautiful popular song ever recorded.
I agree. All these years later, it still touches me just as it did the first time I put that album on the turntable.
Beach Boys Forever!
God Bless Brian Wilson!
Just a perfect rendition by a wonderfully talented musician and singer - RIP Jeffery, you are, and will remain, sorely missed by all BB fans
Nice old times. Music was music.
I've been listening to this song for years and still get goosebumps to this day.
same here
心に沁みる名曲。ありがとう、Brian❤
Jeff is just great. He keeps the vocals alive and well.
One of the greatest bands in history brilliant harmonising timeless music long may they play for every generation before and after
Great vocals by Jeff, we can hear Brian backing and Bruce's vocals are so perfect!
One of the best songs ever from the Beach Boys. I was born in 1946 and grew up with the most beautiful music ever for teenagers. I am not religious, but thanks God I was born in that year.
I read somewhere that Brian had written for Ronnie Spector (Bennett) in mind
Jeff Foskett has a magic voice .. would love to see more of him featured
Wow. Still brings me to tears. Great singing all 'round.
A tear fell from my eye...and I'm a guy.
Ohhhh, we were so fortunate to grow up with these groups and their music!
For sure
BIG TIME!!!
You are so right the beach boys are timeless, they make me feel young and happy
Oh yes " very lucky. Post war boomers. Pack me up and send me back to 1959.
You got that right! I am soooo happy to be a baby boomer!!! And the Beach Boys were one of my first loves!!!
It’s amazing that they still sound great even without their greatest vocalist, the infinitely late great Carl Wilson!
Love it.
Agreed. But Carl didn't originally have a lead vocal role in this tune, mostly Brian.
Brian Wilson did lead on this
brian wilson is the master mind behind the beach boys . but Carl wilson was great
Amen. Without Carl it just doesn't work for me. And Brian looks bad here.
All Jardine’s sons have awesome voices!❤️
I grew up listening to The Beach Boys as they have been around for well over 50 years. I loved all their songs and still sing to myself many of their songs today. Man, it is a Bitch Getting Old.
Yeah, but just think of all the old memories and good times we had in Jr. High and high school listening to these on our AM radios and playing 45's on our "record players"!
Al jardine, mike love and session musians , are not the beach boys.its a farce, I would not pay to see them, they are not the real thing.
Sucks big time being old! I cant believe I spend most of my time looking back instead of doing now or any big plans in the future except dying. Lol
@@frankverd2808 Brian Wilson is on stage He is the original singer
When I feel stressed out, I listen to this song and magically, things feel ok ❤️
Me to
I absolutely love this one. Takes me back to the 60s in Cardiff, met my husband in 1969 dancing to songs like this. Been married 50 years this year omg can't believe it.
My favourites are God Only Knows, California Girls, Don't Worry Baby, Surfin USA
Yes its very soothing 😌
Rip Jeff ! Long live your voice !!
Jeff Foskett nails the lead vocals! He emulates Brian W.
Outstanding job! And you're right... He gets closer to Brian's vocals than anyone I've ever heard!
With all due respect to you, this guy stinks and has trouble holding that high note. Flat, bland rendition nowhere near Brian.
Foskett saved brian and the band.
Keith Moore I was hoping that wasn't Matt Jardine singing lead. He really went downhill fast if that was him. Looked kind of like him.
@@wizard9403 fuck off you're not Beach Boys fans
I watched it in Saint George Utah. Loved it
ONLY TO SEE!!!!!!!!! BRIAN ON STAGE SATISFYS MY HEART
This is one of my favorite songs by Brian Wilson who is a musical genius. Also, Jeffrey Foskett is a fantastic singer on this great live version.
Great job but Jeff really comes thru on lead vocals.
Great music.LIFES GOOD
He sounds just like Brian.
Nice to see David back in the band after decades - Jeff is amazing on the tenor lrad, and so is John Cowsill on drums (a really talented drummer indeed). I just feels right, after all the tragedy, to see David come back, and I hope he's healthy again. God bless these lads, for all of the pure enjoyment they've given us.
Great version. Billy Joel does a live version in a Brian Wilson tribute....absolutely awesome !
Look at the faces of these used to be teenagers, they’re remembering how much this music meant to them and still does!! Singing along!
A GREAT SONG THANKS TO BRIAN WILSON! HE IS THE GENIUS!
The sincerity of the lyrics and the melody of this is so beautiful. ❤
It's so very awesome and amazing how much they are loved around the world still. What a blessing to have seen these guys live.
How lovely! Still as good as in 1964, when I first loved it.
Outstanding harmony. Grew up loving these guys. :)
Fantastic and the big genius on the piano keep well Brian they don't come around like you anymore.
What can you say great song fantastic live rendition, don`t forget these guys ain`t getting younger, im 68 and was bought up in my teens to these sounds.
Well, I can close my eyes and dream while I listen to this beautiful song that comes from the soul. Thanks for releasing it.
Thank you Jeff!
This Never gets old😎😁
I feel so privileged to have grown up listening to this great music. LOVE THE BEACH BOYS!
The lead vocal is superb! Cheers.
Brian Wilson still had a heavenly voice at this time. Sublime
this was the first music that I remember listening to as a baby when my brain started to develope . im 43 now and I always loved the beach boys
Saw them this year 2016 and still sounds so good! Thanks Beach Boys for such great music and sound!
Did you see Brian or Mike's band?
+DAM FLA mike's
Jeff did a great job as always!
What can you say, amazing. I'm 74 and been along for the ride since the 60s.
I'm just so glad I grew up with music.
Excellent lead singing
Dang, they sound so good after all these years. Music....
edit: jeff foskett just had such an amazing voice 😢
I'm thinkin' it left something in your heart that will NEVER be "gone."
What a beautiful song still love it after all the years still got the memories ❤️
Jeff Foskett is also a tremendous guitarist.
Great music lives on - - Feb 13, 2020
Timeless 2020👏
I love the lead singer’s voice!!!! The Beach Boys were popular when I was in high school. We had the best music of the century!!!!❤️
Yes we did and somehow knew it
any century.....
This is really a gem! It's beautiful. Thanks for posting it.
Simply great songs which have stood the test of time. What a legacy Brian Wilson will leave behind him!!
Too awesome!!!
Right … we're all getting older, but this sounds as good as ever. And yes, Jeffrey Foskett is a great lead singer !
Oh man did Jeffrey nail Brian's part...with Brian sitting just feet away...great version
Oh my heart is happy! Been a true blue fan since the early days! God bless✌️💕
Me too
Godspeed, Jeff.
Way ta go Mr Foskett😊
So nice David Marks got to reunite with them for this tour.
I agree there.
The Beach Boys are the best band of all time!!!
The Beach Boys will be singing & Swinging
when they are 100 yrs old I love them. 😃
Dont worry Jeffry you still sound great!
An absolutely beautiful song from the greatest Era of rock and roll.
My favorite Beach Boys song. It brings back so many memories.
You simply can't beat these guys. Have been a fan almost as long as they have been performing.

Yeah, and Jeff was so thankful that he jumped ship to ML's cover band.
Rob Watkins Very well put! I agree totally.
@Scott Grudziadz And Jeff is not doing well.
At the Beach Boys heyday Brian did not perform live though he did perform on the recordings,
@@stuartperry8141 He did through 1965 and sporadically in the 1970's and fairly regularly through 1985, then was quite scarce on a live stage after that.
Saw em in 74 in la...again in 84 in th midwest...they ARE still awesome.
I started listening to them from the start. JUST amazing.
richardcvlr5 wait till you hear Brian’s pet sounds album. Spurred a friendly competition with Lennon .
HAVE IT ON VINYL. MUST AGREE GREAT ALBUM.
❤️ Beach Boys 🥰 💖 this song 💘 It's so beautiful ❤️
Their harmony abilities are just another level of magic!
A pleasure to listen to this song one of my favs guys voice is amazing!
Jeff Foskett does an amazing job on a tremendously difficult vocal; LIVE! Well done that man!
wow
Such genius musicians they are still ... Love it ;-)
Brian Wilson was at the keyboards. I wish he would've sang this since he was the original singer of this beautiful song.
I'm sure he would have if he could still hit those high notes.
He cant sweetie.
What a drag it is getting old.
I'm just glad he's still around
Sadly Brian can’t sing anymore.
