@marywatkins6798 Al Jardine. The loyal one..hes talented. Hes a great singer. And distinctive voice. A key original member who stuck by Brian . Loyalty to the genius that made them all rich and famous!!
@lola9343 Such a shame the other guys. Especially his cousin. They never would've had a career without him. Al is actually the most talented who isn't a Wilson. Better than the thieving cousin. He plays really well. And is so kind to fans.👍🎸☮️
All 5 were talented. Mike had the best baritone & bass vocal range of the bunch, and wrote some great songs and lyrics. If he wasn’t such a jackass he’d be my second favorite behind Brian.
@eliotguerin192 They were all talented, but Brian defines the beach boys. And having read so much about them. Mike always looks like a jerk. Some changes were needed. But I don't believe he wrote as much as he claims. But the worst is him taking the bands name away from Brian! Even if intervention was needed way back. The rights to that beach boys name should belong to Brian. Mike wats decades to claim writng credits. Ok. But the name is Brians. There is no beach boys without Brian. Beatles dont make a competitive record to pet sounds. Brian created while the band was on the road. But undeniable Mike's voice was critical to many songs. He really cant sing now. Anyway my feelings about it. ☮️🇺🇲✌️📻🤟
@Slomofogo Irvin Berlin is still held in high regard by songwriters who have studied the art. Stephen Foster, on the other hand, was not known for writing love songs, unless you count "Oh! Susanna" as a love song. He was actually known for writing some pretty racially charged songs like "Old Black Joe" and "Camptown Races", which Mel Brooks parodied in "Blazing Saddles" as being racist - and rightly so. I contend that, just as the music of Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, and others are still studied by serious music students, as well as the music of contemporary artists like the Beatles, the music of the Beach Boys and The Beatles will still be studied by music students 100 years from now. It's only the masses, who wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass, that forget - if they ever even knew.
dude al jardine is so underrated. he didn’t have any beef with any of the other members and he’s just a pretty cool guy. no doubt my favorite beach boy.
@@StephenMountenayHenhawke, well, not with any HUMAN band members. Hateful Mikey, is a zit on a real Beach Boy's ass! Alan and Matt, still bring it. Matt, is about 97% as good as Carl was. Me, 0.03% Al, will never change. (FUCKIN' GOOD!) steve
Oh snap!!! I keep seeing “Matt” and I’m like…”IT’S AL!!!” Then, I realized the young guy singing is his son and that’s why he looks so damn familiar, lol
Right composer, wrong Song. Wouldn't it be nice is without a doubt one of Brian's BEST compositions. However, Carl Dean sang the best. GOD only Knows! Don't believe me, ask Sir Paul. He thinks that God Only Knows, is not just Brian's best, but THE best. (I agree.) steve
For my money, God Only Knows is Brian's masterpiece. It has everything, complex chord progressions, meaningful lyrics, and wonderfully arranged orchestral accompaniment and backing vocals. It's not just my favorite Beach Boys song, it's my all-time favorite song, period.
Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I think I know where you're coming from. I'd classify him more like a current Gerswhin... though his voice is sounding a bit tired and could use a little technique work. Just my opinion (as a composer/singer myself), though.
High School music teacher, here. Was teaching this song to my choir, to sing at our concert this May. Unfortunately, schools are now closed, and may not get to do this. But wanted to let you all know, teen-angers today love this song.
I've only been following Brian, since 1966. He, Dennis Carl, and Carl Dean, have been in my music catalog, since then. Except for Hateful Mikey, The Beach Boys ROCK! steve
The backing vocals and harmonies is what makes this song, as is the case with virtually all Beach Boys songs. God bless Brian Wilson, a genius and a national treasure.
@@gordeauxd Hadn't checked back here in a while. Noted, thank you. And twenty lashes for me, as I'm usually the one who is the stickler on spelling and grammar. Thanks for the catch, although for some reason I am unable to update that comment now, apparently it was when I had a different ID.
This is why Beach Boys songs are so timeless. The harmonies are written so well that, even when sung by different people and guys who have lost their singing voices, the song still sounds like it was originally recorded this way.
This song connects with young men from any generation and culture. It's just not a California "surf" thing. Brian, you created a classic romance song that this young man (in the day) totally appreciated. Thank you.
@@johnnyrockett978 I came because of Titans. They sing about wouldn’t it be nice if they were old enough to be married, but Brian Wilson and Al Jardine are probably grandparents by now so they’re too old to sing this song.
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen was Brian’s comeback tour. Seeing him healthy and singing again is a treasured memory I’ll never forget. A musical genius.
I like how during the studio session Wilson is constantly looking around to make sure everyone involved is doing their job to perfection and filling in their parts to the whole picture, no matter how small they are. Wilson can see the music visably, it's obvious.
Brian is probably my favourite because his high voice made the songs sound amazing and also Al Jardine was good to he was never against other members and seems like a genuinely nice guy.
I was blessed to meet Brian and Al years ago before a show and you could just feel how much love Al has for his dear friend. He was the nicest guy. He even hammed it up a bit for the photo I got with them. Just a treasure of a human being.
Truth! Unflinchingly an unapologetic perfectionist. Seems that musicians need the Field General with the Vision, or maybe, for the Visionary to also be a Field General, aka, Tom Schultz, Boston, to push them to play exactly what he / she is hearing in their head and accept nothing less. Just in my 53 years of life, it's easy to see that this approach, while it may hurt some feelings at the time, is easily the best way as the product is almost always superior.
Yeah, but it was mostly because of the emotional abuse he got from certain people. If he wasn't being emotionally abused, he probably wouldn't have tried as hard.
Not totally 100%. On 'I Get Around' at about the 16 second mark when he sings the word bread his voice kinda thins out, not really crack but thins. Not sure how else to put it. It's probably my favorite BB song but that one note in that song kinda doesn't work for me. ua-cam.com/video/wREBD2og5iY/v-deo.html
Brian Wilson should be recognized as the most prolific musical talents of the 20th Century. Albeit his career was rather short in contrast to some of his contemporaries... he blew all of them out of the water with his pure genius.
Wow ! Matt Jardine Killed It !!! Perfect, clear, on key, voice and expression !!! Great job , son !!! You made your Dad proud and all of us loved it !!! Thanks !!!
love this song my brother was an amazing guitarist and loved the beach boys he sadly died at the age of 51 and listening to this song brings back great memories, when I was a young boy he used to take me everywhere and there was always the beach boys playing on his car stereo he had all the albums and used to play along with his guitar. RIP dear brother
Don't forget the idea of using rhythmic instrumentation to forge melodies- GOOD VIBRATIONS the denouement of that concept 6 years after that seminal work [the greatest pop song ever written hands down] YES released ROUNDABOUT William Bruford & Chris Squire thank Brian Wilson for the whole IDEA for that awesome song!
Brian Wilson is a genius. It almost seems sad though, that his voice isn’t up to par to sing lead like he once could. Age happens, but he’ll go down as one of the best ever 👍
Also, he is on lots of medication and that takes its toll on his ability to speak without slurring. Sad, but at least he can function without the craziness that he once indulged in due to his mental state.
He never had the voice Carl did, nobody did lol, and he knew it, but he was excellent on leads in the early days. Once Carl hit 20 years old he was ready for more spotlight, he was literally a teenager until ‘66. That’s right, he was 20 when he sang God only Knows and Good Vibrations. Insane. Amazing talents all around, and Brian was indeed the most important songwriter and arranger.
@@billyshears921 I think many of us knew it at the time, I know I did. I would listen to my older brother's Beach Boys albums and play each song over and over, each time picking out a new harmony part. Listening to (and singing to) those songs served me well in my many singing groups over the years, most notably barbershop singing, which, as one of our members has always said, is the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on 🙂
Being that I have made my living most of my life as a musician, I was a "HUGE" Beach boy Fan. Every time I hear or heard their Harmony's I get/got chills. It's like Brian said, but I'll use another word, "Elation". The chills wash over my body, and drive that "Elation" right through the very core of my existence. Unreal harmony.
Makes me happy. There is something (to me) so special about harmony, tight harmony, even loose harmony. I love duets, I love the sounds of voices together. For the person who doubted that Brian Wilson is a genius, I can only say that it is well known that genius and mental health issues are often hand-in-glove. But I only know what I like to hear. There are music college professors right here on YT speaking about Brian's genius with music. And lots of people who you know, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, too many to mention, who feel that yes, Brian is a musical genius. Point is, if the music moves you, he's done what he's set out to do. But he didn't do it alone and he is the first one to say that. His book (just finished it this morning) shows me how innocent his mind truly is, he eats, lives, breathes music...and love....and fear. Al Jardine also still sounds great, his son Matt is excellent, and the fellow on the keyboards...well, he is something else again. All of the musicians here are just excellent. In the book, which jumps around so much from different years past so as to be immensely confusing, is overlaid with the ever-present missing of his siblings. I miss mine, too, so I can relate. I hope he and his cousin Mike Love can work things out a little better before one of them is gone. BTW, if you like to walk and "Good Vibrations" plays through your headset...don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing. :)
The best harmonies of any band ever. CSNY are a close second. They don't really make music like this anymore, which is why I love these trips down the rabbit hole!
True. A year or two ago I was in Las Vegas and watched Carlos Santana playing at Mandalay Bay. I'm in my 50s, and noticed that a significant part of the audience was in their 60s and 70s. There may have been a few 80+. Santana and his band were rocking the place.
That unmistakable, distinctive amazing wonderful, and joyful voice of Brian Wilson warms my heart. Thank you Brian for all the joy! Matt Jardine is spot on with his amazing vocals. Love seeing Al Jardine with the group and his son bringing it all together to share the joy still. Truly an amazing video that makes me smile. Love the Beach boys all my life. Love this new generation band with Brian. God bless them all.
Brian Wilsone's genius harmonies and melodies should be recognized as as great as the Beatles....love this poor guy who suffered terribly with depression...absolute genius!
2:39 The resolution of the bridge of this song hits so musically hard that even Al Jardine, the trillionth time he’s sang this song, has to throw his hands up in the air and just surrender to its beauty
I can remember songs that were played that had a melody and were played with real instruments.... That was the music I grew up with... real music.... miss that today...
No smoke, no fire, no fireworks... Just a group of the best musicians doing their thing. I would love to see more of these studio sessions. Great to watch the best!!!!!!
I loved seeing Brian and Al just grove along to the beat moving their hands you can tell these men truly did it for the love of their music. Unlike someone ....looking at you mike 😤😤. These men still have such talent and warm my heart every time I hear them
During the Sixties I grew up as a teen in Southern California listening to The Beach Boys. What amazing harmony and what mellifluous voices. Then about 15 years ago, I went to a Brian Wilson concert. After the concert, you could buy a baseball cap he was selling and ask him to sign it. To this day, this is my most treasured hat! Thank you Mr Wilson for all the joy you have given us, and thank you Beach Boys! ❤🎉❤
I was always a big Beach Boys fan and man is this a killer version. Brian always had fantastic arrangements and this proves it. Thanks for posting this. Kudos to Brian, Al, and friends.
I can’t tell you how much this song has meant to me throughout my life. One of the greatest Beach Boy songs. I love you guys, always have, always will.
I'm totally amazed at how wonderful the Brian Wilson songs are. I was too young to appreciate the genius of Wilson in earlier times, but I've come to understand and appreciate what an incredibly talented Wilson is and how perfect the Beach Boys harmonies were. Brian Wilson is a modern day Mozart.
Son. THAT is so good. As a musician of 56+ years and with a former brief stint as an audio engineer and producer in my experience, this is EXACTLY my favorite thing to see on UTub ... REAL music as it is professionally recorded and laid down in a great studio. Only thing I missed on this was the bari sax! Thank you guys, especially Brian and Alan!
Wouldn’t that be such a great feeling - imagine you’re a member of the beach boys and your son becomes the singer and does such a great job. That’s must feel so good that your music lives on.
Just as beautiful as the original. Love hearing Al Jardine sing. Had the esteemed pleasure of seeing The Beach Boys 3x in the 70's and so I want to say thanks to them for sharing their gift.
Brian is ' magnum opus"! Still sounds great today... after all these years.. Brian's wall of sound technique was at it's peak. What a blast these guys still are!
I was at a Brian Wilson concert where afterwards you could buy a baseball cap and ask Mr. Wilson to sign it. He was a truly down to earth guy. As a teenager living in Southern California in the Sixties, The Beach Boys were my favorites and still are today. Thank you for passing this rendition of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”along to us in the online audience! ❤🎉😊
I love this track (and this version). The melody, instrumentals and vocals just hit me every time. Was lucky enough to meet Brian at the meet and greet in Manchester on the 50th tour. Such a talented songwriter
Brian Wilson is still standing, the last Wilson brother. He is a genius.

Al Jardine also still sounds great, his son Matt is excellent, and the fellow on the keyboards...well, he is something else again. All of the musicians here are just excellent. In the book, which jumps around so much from different years past so as to be immensely confusing, is overlaid with the ever-present missing of his siblings. I miss mine, too, so I can relate. I hope he and his cousin Mike Love can work things out a little better before one of them is gone. BTW, if you like to walk and "Good Vibrations" plays through your headset...don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing. :)
Hope you won't stop liking my aspirations?
Aww those harmonies don't age. Furiously precise, and as a result, perfect. The voices going with age don't lessen a perfect piece of music one bit.
A frickin tear came out my eye damn it, it was just beautiful to hear Brian's voice no matter how time goes by
SO MANY LAYERS... BRIAN IS A GENIUS !
The best harmonies of any band ever. CSNY are a close second. They don't really make music like this anymore, which is why I love these trips down the rabbit hole!
LRB were good on the harmony as well
🎯
You did it Brian, er, Mr. Wilson.
This song makes me happy, and it’s about a decade older than I am.
Those vocals, the musicians, that production.
how is possible a song can give so much happiness .my god
1:38 That harmony is sublime.
It’s so sad to see us all get old. It’s still the same ageless person inside though.
How painfully true
The Woodstock generation are in their 70's now and young people dont know the impact the Beatles had on our culture. It makes me sad.
@@rickyrickardo8347 so true
It´s normal... not all the people be Ringo Starr
True. A year or two ago I was in Las Vegas and watched Carlos Santana playing at Mandalay Bay. I'm in my 50s, and noticed that a significant part of the audience was in their 60s and 70s. There may have been a few 80+. Santana and his band were rocking the place.
That unmistakable, distinctive amazing wonderful, and joyful voice of Brian Wilson warms my heart. Thank you Brian for all the joy! Matt Jardine is spot on with his amazing vocals. Love seeing Al Jardine with the group and his son bringing it all together to share the joy still. Truly an amazing video that makes me smile. Love the Beach boys all my life. Love this new generation band with Brian. God bless them all.
Brian Wilsone's genius harmonies and melodies should be recognized as as great as the Beatles....love this poor guy who suffered terribly with depression...absolute genius!
Brian ❤
Al is such an underrated rock legend.
The harmonies are still there. God what a great song!
2:39 The resolution of the bridge of this song hits so musically hard that even Al Jardine, the trillionth time he’s sang this song, has to throw his hands up in the air and just surrender to its beauty
So beautiful! The Beach Boys will always live in my heart!
I can remember songs that were played that had a melody and were played with real instruments.... That was the music I grew up with... real music.... miss that today...
Love the honesty of Brian.
Al's son is singing and doing a great job!But we can never forget that this is Brian's genius...and he's still doing his thing!Fantastic!!
"Something I wanted to hear, feel, joy" Brian Wilson..what more could be said, what a beautiful song
Matt Jardine ...
Damn. Just damn.
These harmonies = goose flesh.
The harmonies these guys sing are absolutely angelic
Utterly remarkable that they sound so good some 50 years later.
Matt Jardine is a superb stand in. He takes the BB back to the 60’s perfectly. What a privilege. Excellent all round great music. Thank you
No smoke, no fire, no fireworks... Just a group of the best musicians doing their thing. I would love to see more of these studio sessions. Great to watch the best!!!!!!
Love how this man and kid wanted to make music of joy.....beautiful, and whats missing a lot today...
I loved seeing Brian and Al just grove along to the beat moving their hands you can tell these men truly did it for the love of their music. Unlike someone ....looking at you mike 😤😤. These men still have such talent and warm my heart every time I hear them
Glad I grew up in an era when beautiful music was made.
Maybe the most beautiful song ever! The innocence brings tears to the eyes, the harmonies are sublime, if only if only if only!
During the Sixties I grew up as a teen in Southern California listening to The Beach Boys. What amazing harmony and what mellifluous voices. Then about 15 years ago, I went to a Brian Wilson concert. After the concert, you could buy a baseball cap he was selling and ask him to sign it. To this day, this is my most treasured hat! Thank you Mr Wilson for all the joy you have given us, and thank you Beach Boys! ❤🎉❤
Matt Jardine is such a great singer! Brian did a great job making this classic
I was always a big Beach Boys fan and man is this a killer version. Brian always had fantastic arrangements and this proves it. Thanks for posting this. Kudos to Brian, Al, and friends.
I can’t tell you how much this song has meant to me throughout my life. One of the greatest Beach Boy songs. I love you guys, always have, always will.
Song will never age and remains one of the most iconic ever. Evokes such emotion. Amazing on so many levels.
Matt Jardine is a great singer, wow!
Beautiful musical layering..every little moment intertwined with the others..beeeeuutiful piece of music
You are quite right.
I'm totally amazed at how wonderful the Brian Wilson songs are. I was too young to appreciate the genius of Wilson in earlier times, but I've come to understand and appreciate what an incredibly talented Wilson is and how perfect the Beach Boys harmonies were. Brian Wilson is a modern day Mozart.
he said he thought he was more like Bach. But he liked Gershwin most
Harmony still sounds great 50 years later!!! Don't ever stop guys....keep on rockin'!!!
Hey guys 55 years I`ve listened to. You just get better and better.Thanks great listening.
Beautiful! Only just now appreciating the depth and genius of this song, after decades of hearing it on the radio
I love this! Great to see Brian and Al together! Matt Jardine has an awesome voice.
Greatest arranger of song I have know. Saw him in Seattle concert . Went with Diane in1968.
Son. THAT is so good. As a musician of 56+ years and with a former brief stint as an audio engineer and producer in my experience, this is EXACTLY my favorite thing to see on UTub ... REAL music as it is professionally recorded and laid down in a great studio. Only thing I missed on this was the bari sax! Thank you guys, especially Brian and Alan!
Oh Brian! You’re such a humble soul!
Wouldn’t that be such a great feeling - imagine you’re a member of the beach boys and your son becomes the singer and does such a great job. That’s must feel so good that your music lives on.
Pure genius writing/composing by Brian. It's great to see the two original Beach Boys in this recording...nice job!
Beautiful! I had a long, hard day today. This made me feel so much better. God bless...
Just as beautiful as the original. Love hearing Al Jardine sing.
Had the esteemed pleasure of seeing The Beach Boys 3x in the 70's and so I want to say thanks to them for sharing their gift.
Brian is ' magnum opus"! Still sounds great today... after all these years.. Brian's wall of sound technique was at it's peak. What a blast these guys still are!
Brian is magnus opus?
+John Doe 😂😂😂😂
Sure Brian is the magnum opus of his parents!
Sandra Shetka bea
The wall of sound was developed by Phil Spector not Brian Wilson.
Brian Wilson is a national treasure, we should appreciate it while he is with us. The Beach Boys from Hawthorne, CA!!
My hometown, born and raised and still reside in beautiful Hawthorne California.
These fucking harmonies...
Bless you, Brian Wilson.
Brian Wilson is an absolute musical genius. Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Wilson and the list goes on
This is just a perfect song. 💜 Brian Wilson is a genius.
The variable tempos we do not see much in modern music today. Truly original
Brian Wilson is the MAN............ Brian, Al and of course Carl, were the voices of the Beach Boys....... really miss Carl..... Dennis as well.
Also Mike
Most definately mike. Brian was famous for the falsetto which he did perfectly.
Dennis sang "In The Back Of My Mind"! Great track
No love......for Mike LOVE?! 😂
Yep!
The best music ever . Makes you smile, can fill your heart
I was blessed enough to go to their 50th Anniversary Tour in Raleigh, NC and got pretty close to the stage to get some great pics of the band.
I was at a Brian Wilson concert where afterwards you could buy a baseball cap and ask Mr. Wilson to sign it. He was a truly down to earth guy. As a teenager living in Southern California in the Sixties, The Beach Boys were my favorites and still are today. Thank you for passing this rendition of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”along to us in the online audience! ❤🎉😊
I love this track (and this version). The melody, instrumentals and vocals just hit me every time. Was lucky enough to meet Brian at the meet and greet in Manchester on the 50th tour. Such a talented songwriter
