The fact he is still alive and we are living among this legend is unbelievable.
I was thinking the same. His brothers saved him from drugs. Carl smoked. Dennis alcohol. But somehow Brian outlived both. Amazing!
MagneForce Gaming exactly. It’s unreal.
I think about this a lot too. We really are lucky to still have him with us, still brightening our days with his work and just his presence.
When I saw him live in Dallas for the first time in 2000, during his Pet Sounds tour, I thought that might be the last time I got to see him live. But I saw him 4 more times after that! Also, going back to 1976, who would have believed that guy would have lived until 2024?
Brian is kind of like a broken fine vase, that has been glued back together, and still somehow manages to be spectacular, even if it's also obvious it got glued back together.
good analogy....
And somehow I love him even more in the end.
Its called Kintsugi.......the japanese art of fixing a broken vase with gold. Its imperfections and flaws held together with the gold of humility and love.
Thats him and me too
Good call. Wabie-Sabi is the term. It is beauty in "imperfection". Like the crack in the liberty bell.
Brian is too precious and we are blessed to have him
YESS!!!😭❤😍
❤️😷♥️❤️♥️
Brian's whole life has been steeped in tragedy, and too many parasitic humans have used his vulnerability to take financial advantage of him through psychological manipulation. Brian has a real Artistic soul and a very special sensitive person, who has struggled a lifetime to control his demons. It's an embarrassment that he never had a single person to look after his well being and help to keep his finances in his pocket and not in the pockets of everyone else. If his own flesh and blood (Murray) is prepared to ruthlessly steal from his son, what chance does poor Brian have?
Freddy Kabulaschnitza Same was for Judy Garland. Remember Bad Finger?
Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney were born just 2 days apart, June 20th and June 18th, 1942, Mike Love was 1941...I made something...just type in search bar above this title.....In Defence of Mike Love
1973:"Please get out of your room, Brian."
2020:"Please self isolate in your room, Brian."
He truly was ahead of his time
😂 love this comment! 😂😊
Clean your room Bryan and wash them Brown underwear!
this would be a great way for Brian to do a show: from home, just him and piano and doing some rare songs. No pressure, just fun
Home concerts would be great for Brian and us.
Come on Brian, we all need you during these insane times. Music has a strong healing power and there has never been a better time for healing. Thanks Brian do it for us
Love him...boy, did we sing these!
Close each show with in my room
Don't you see? He's in a very bad shape, poor guy...
Brian Wilson is an American treasure.
Brian Wilson...America's Mozart.
Rick Nowels he’s my Mozart
And i was born 1996
America's Bach is more accurate. He himself prefers that comparison.
ABSOLUTELY! Love to see BB fans here and their genius leader Brian!! Love this video❤❤❤
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Austria's Brian Wilson!
I wonder if Brian ever sits and reads these comments about him, I hope he does so he knows how great he is
This is probably the best Beach Boys moment since the 50th anniversary tour.
Saw them on that tour! Was that fantastic or what??
@@lisadc4681 yes they were great- Brian sang a lot of songs on that tour. saw them at Bethel Woods NY in June that year.
Margaret Maskara right!
@@lisadc4681 It was just incredible seeing them then. And this is so beautiful
Margaret Mskara - Agreed. Very, very moving.
"Music is God's Voice" -Brian Wilson
“God respects me when I work, but he loves me when I sing. “
There's just no way to thank Brian enough for what he's given the world.
Brian is just dripping with the joy of music
How can you not love this man? A true legend, not just musically but as a sensitive and caring human being.
He showed support for George Oil Bush thats akin to supporting terrorism.
@@zebunker coming with a statement like that is akin to supporting idiocy.
@@zebunker no, Mike love did. Brian has always stayed out of politics
@Friendly Neighborhood Moron he didn't have toddlers in the 80's, they were adults with their own band by then
@@zebunker Maybe that's before everyone realized Bush was a jerk.
Brian Wilson in a pink shirt, against a blue sky, singing in his living room, to me in mine. These are the worst of times, and the best of times 🎶 🎹🎤❤️🏝️🌍🌎🌏
Mixed Media Life I love this comment so much.
Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing
@@swingebach check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing
Brian is a national treasure-if anybody deserves the Presidential freedom award it’s him !
And God bless Melinda, without whom.............
Trump's the kinda guy to give it to Mike Love just to spite you.
Trump would rather give it to human pieces of crap like Rush Limbaugh.
Robert Syrett, haha! So funny, so sad.
@@robertsyrett1992 Yes. Orange Man BAD!
Much Love and Thanks for the memories Brian.🥰
Brian has given so much happiness to people all over the world over the last 55 plus years .....thank you Brian
I grew up just a few streets away from the Wilson family.. Hawthorne High School was where we would swim in the summer, if we didn't get to go to the beach. We were off 112th street, so close to 117th St. never even knew. Even hung out at the same Fosters Freeze
@@mudwater9140 thats so cool!!
Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing
love and mercy …. and i’m balling 😭 😭
God i admire this human being
Only God knows that you do this.
@@davidcopson5800 : You mean "God Only Knows" ?
The Pet Sounds tour he did with Al and Blondie Chaplin a couple years ago was one of the best concerts I’d ever been to. God Bless Brian.
Same, looking back after this last year and a half plus now, I realized, and I’ve seen hundreds of incredible artists and even did see Carl era Beach Boys in the early 90s with my cousins but seeing Brian Wilson perform the entire Pet Sounds (not to mention a first set chalk full of those Endless Summer classics, everyone sounded and performed excellently) and then to sit down and hear and witness the writer and creator and producer and original artist perform arguably one of the greatest collections of songs/albums, of all time, if not for sure the rock era. As others have called him the Bach of rock, i felt like I knew I was experiencing something people In hundreds of years would have used a metaphorical time travel token to experience themselves for which I was and am so grateful to have had myself. It became among my top 3 if not favorite ads well live concert ever. I cried like 7 times. God Only Knows was a doozy, thankfully for the first set I got to get my ya yas out and dance in the aisle as the median age of the show was about 20-30 years older than me, an ‘85 baby, ofc there were many other young 20-30 something year olds, but I could tell Al and Brian were actually getting a kick out of seeing me uncontrollably dance, Its one thing to respect people behind me and also those that can’t or couldn’t stand the whole show, but it’s hard not to dance dance dance, and I was also on mild substances but I was respectful and mindful. But I saw Brian smile at me, and I may have shook BB kings hand after a live performance he gave in the mid 00s and is considered my greatest hand shake, having Brian Wilson SMiLE at me, is hard to top :D
Sorry for the rambling mess there I got on a roll lol, peace love mercy health vibrations and joy to all of you still reading!
It's so wholesome that he and Al are still close friends, 70 years later
I hear this and all I can do is Smile!
I see what you did there! 😉
I crapped a big turd.
Crosseyed And Painless SMiLE 😃
You’re all smiley 😃
Now in 2024 Thank you Brian. Thankyou for the heart, the memories!
The man resonates love and hope, world needs him and more like Mr Brian Wilson
Brian, what a beautiful soul, beautiful human being he is! i am 17 years old and i'm always telling my friends to hear his songs, they like him!!...it`s just that our generation needs more of you. Mr. Brian Wilson, your music is timeless and i'm gonna tell my kids abou you someday
Brian Wilson is a national treasure!
Indeed he is
Brian is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs
What an amazing man. One of the greatest composers of our time.
If you are also wearing shorts as you watch this then the Beach Boy spirit and light is in your soul too...The song Do it again makes me think back to all the good simple times we had in So Calif then....The beach and sunshine...water....friends...partys...BBQ's and dancing...school...I can feel that when he sings that song...Do it again....I'll be 67 this June and guess I was in the right place at the right time born So Calif 1953....Let's do it again and again...Thanks Brian !!
A public service message from the greatest living American musician.
You take care, too, Brother Bri. We love you. ❤
What about Bob Dylan? He never used The Wall of Sound Wrecking Crew.
@@TheJdmartinjax Ha ha! Yeah, I was thinking of Bobcat when I wrote that statement. Hey, I'll call him the greatest in my next Dylan comment. Both are true.
@@TheJdmartinjax What's using the "wall of sound Wrecking Crew" got to do with the original statement. Dylan never played drums on his records; so what?
Dire Straitz doesn't hold a candle to Brian's level of musicianship
The Old man Wilson always so smiling and Californian, of all his beautiful songs "Love and Mercy" is one of my favorites......
Stay safe Brian, this was such an amazing video, really cheered me up to see this.
Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing
He's a survivor. Blessings to Brian.
He's looking really good. I mean, he hasn't always looked this good recently. Thanks for the smile and hope!
Such a beautiful songs .
I'm loving love and mercy .
Brian Wilson is just amazing all around. Heart, soul, voice, and hairline.
Legend. Genius. American Treasure. Love Brian.
Brian is the greatest. A true living treasure.
Brian Wilson was put on this Earth to be hugged.
Welp, I've been watching his live shows for the last three years or so and I was convinced he was pretty much done singing.... after watching this, though, I can clearly see that he's absolutely capable of singing and recording some more great songs for us if he'd like. This is a great video, because it shows that when comfortable he's still the same old Brian we've loved for years. My favorite part is he's wearing shorts, LOL
I thought it was his underwear. 😆
I saw him back in January this year! He was great!
Of course he's wearing shorts, he's a beach boy 😉
Brian needs to be taken in context. He’s not going to sing like when he was 20. Most people do have diminished voice control as they age with a few exceptions. It’s like getting wrinkles. Brian’s medical issues have taken a toll. But the man is a treasure. It’s so nice to be able to share our love for him while he’s still with us.
Still the best looking ‘Beach Boy’! Rock on Brian!!! ❤️❤️❤️
As a fan since 6 yo, and now 55, this is precious, brought tears of joy. Love you, Brian.
Love you, Brian. Rock on.
Beaches are shut down during this pandemic but nothing will shut down Brian Wilson! 😍 stay safe Brian love Canada ❤🇨🇦❤
Check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing
Thank U Brian 4 a bit of entertainment while we R all IN OUR ROOMS !
I was so happy to see him a few years ago on his Pet Sounds tour. He doesn't like to be called a musical genius, but that's exactly who he is. Love and Mercy, Brian. Hope to see you again soon.
Thank you Brian Wilson! What a great sound! 💕 🎤 🎹🎶🎵
Always was and still is my favorite Beach Boy!
The more I listen to Brian’s music, the more I feel I know him as if he was a close friend of mine. There’s absolutely nothing malicious about Brian. He’s a sweet, gentle soul that’s full of love. And that, I’m sure, comes across in his music. That’s what makes his music so beautiful.
God bless you Brian. The absolute best of the best. The greatest legend. The Beach Boys are the best of all time. Thank you ALL for EVERYTHING.💛
Bless you Brian Wilson you are such a inspiration to us all.. much love hope you and your family are doing well 💖😊❤️😘
Brian please do a whole show from your home...it would bring so much comfort to us stuck at home.
The Beach Boys aren’t The Beach Boys without Brian Wilson. He was the true genius of that group.
You said it! Without Brian, the Beach Boys' aren't the innovative and groundbreaking band they used to be.
nah pretty sure Mike Love was
Great, he and his voice and his songs are simply great.
Is there anything better than Brian Wilson and a piano? Love this so much. THANKS, BRIAN, you're the best!
Happy 79th birthday Brian. Hopefully you'll be back on stage next year so you and the band can Do it Again.
Well, I have to say, after a few disappointing times in the recent concerts, this was really special for me. I have loved this man for 56 years. Thanks Brian. Guess, when you want to you still got it!
This is exactly how this video struck me. For years I was convinced his vocal issues were in his head... but the last three years or so he seems out of breath, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to sing 'acceptably' anymore as much as that sucks. After watching this though, it's clear that he can still sing just fine.
@@LyonsArcade He started to seem out of breath by 2016 but fans don't care as they just want to see the genius and listen to all of the classics. Brian is singing better because he's in a relaxed environment and his not using his full voice. I want to him to do more songs at home.
@@jaggass I'm with you on that one Michael.
I know he’s been inconsistent live, but seeing al jardine and Blondie Chaplin with him has been a treat. I live in LA but grew up in CT. I’ve noticed lately his CA shows he’s lucid, funny, vivid, singing and playing a lot. On the east coast, he’s definitely a step back... but that travel is tough on anyone, let alone his age and history. I’m just happy to see him and cheer like hell to show how much the world appreciates him
Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight, Brian.
God Bless you Brian and your family this is precious stay safe healthy happy and positive forevermore my darling thank you!!🙏👍💗🥰🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Singing the back up vocals right along with him. What a treasure Brian is.
Hugs from the UK, Brian.
Brian is a kind gentle soul, a musical genius. Love and mercy is one of my favorite songs always gives a smile and a tear at the same time. 💜
We all love you Brian!!!
Love and Mercy
A bright spot in my day! Thank you, Brian Wilson! 🌞🏖🌞🌊🌞
Sounding great mr wilson
Love and mercy is what we need! Thank you, Brian!
Thank you Brian for your beautiful music that gives meaning to life
Thank you so much Brian. I have always been a fan and you have given the world a beautiful gift for so long.
I love you so much Brian Wilson; you've saved my life so many times, literally! It's my birthday and love you a lot.
Does anyone even realize who this man is hes one of the greatest songwriters there ever was or will be in my opinion better then the Beatles I would give anything to write with this man as I am also a song writer his music not just touches you but it moves your very soul you dont just hear his music but you feel it for those of you say hes failing hes singing dry and hearing the rest of the music in his head but you would actually have to be a musician to get that hes as good as he would ever be and as good as he has always have been I would give anything just to be in the same room with him hes a true icon of our era
Yes. Several million people know. Some of us saw him , live and in person. Good Luck to you.
Let's hear something of yours. And you are spot on, he is the best. And now as age diminishes him he becomes more endearing. Love him
He could turn the phone book into a no. 1 hit.

@@psmguy63 check out Mary Lou by the Creative Force, amazing
Thank you Mr. Brian Wilson
Brian is an absolute genius and a beautiful soul. The day he leaves us will be one of the saddest days in our history!
Thank you Brian, you're still The Man.
Maybe the best songwriter ever!
@Baron Von Vino YES, that's a given. But we can love both at the same time!! No need for comparisons among these unmatched geniuses!! ❤❤❤❤
@Baron Von Vino Yes, it's sad one has to say that, but you do. I believe the Beatles music will remain unmatched forever. Nothing, and no one has ever come close to it.....and we must recognize the brilliance of George Martin. Heaven only knows what they would have sounded like without him. There is no doubt they changed music forever, and completely. I like the Beach Boys.....a bit, but in truth there is no comparison.
erepsekahs I don’t know. I think Pet Sounds is better than any Beatles album, and Paul McCartney said that God Only Knows is his favorite song of all time. I think the Beatles are better, but there’s no point in comparing the two bands.
@@kosi684 That's what I always say! Why do people feel the need to compare the two (totally different) bands?? And yes, there is a reason G. Martin was often referred to as
" the fifth Beatle". They would still have been a life changing band given their epic music and songwriting abilities, looks, personalities, etc.( need I go on) but G. Martin certainly brought it all to another level. And then there's Brian....sigh. ❤ We should all just be glad we had them both in our lifetimes! Sorry to ramble it's the middle of the night here, but love all you Beatles and BB fans here.😎
Not his lyrics... best pop rock composer though
Love and mercy, that's what you need ❤️
Brian still sounds amazing after all this time, but that's not surprise from the best songwriter ever. We love you Brian. Love and Mercy and stay safe💛✌
Beautiful. Thanks Brian and Melinda.
Brian Wilson is lyrical genius he makes the world a better place to be in.
MUSICAL genius
Lyrical? Who cares about the lyrics, he's a musical genius like Mozart was.
brian me he did have co-writers, but he was still a songwriting powerhouse, especially towards pet sounds and those final albums. Not to mention like you said, phenomenal arrangements and harmonies. The Beach Boys was a group effort but man, Brian was something else.
Thank you Brian ,for the music of my childhood , your the best.
Hello Brian. Love to you and your family. You made a huge difference in my life with your music. Million thanks! ❤⚘🙏🌞
🏖 Brian , you still have it !!! 🏄🏼♂️
Brian still has a fine head of hair! Long may it grow!
Love you Brian!!!
Brian Wilson perfectly encapsulates that feeling of beautiful melancholy and nostalgia. I love him and all the incredible music he's given the world.
How could one man be responsible for so much happiness and joy in this cruel and uncertain world. Thank God that we are still blessed with his presence. The soundtrack of many of our lives begins with Brian.
Keep on singing Brian, keep on writing, and keep on playing your beautiful music. Our world needs it. We love you.
We love you Brian! Thanks for all ♥️
Seeing the sunny sky outside his window is a welcome site to this cloud shrouded Minnesotan!
Nice!👍 Thank you . You still got, Brian Wison. 🤩
Great stuff. Love it.
He beat the game of life. 80 years old and doing what he loves
Listening to Brian Wilson perform can't cure the coronavirus.
But it's worth a shot.
It isn't supposed to be a cure, just a moment for peace.
@@jaye8872 That's what I'm sayin
Love and Mercy what a timeless masterpiece. They will be listening to it in 1000 years.
Music is a healing agent and the best "immune booster" ever invented! Going to listen to "Pet Sounds" today with my pet, Lucy.
Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for sharing your God-given gift. Amazing how all this "distancing" has brought the artists we have loved all our lives closer to our hearths and homes.
I've been marinating in "everything Linda Ronstadt" these past few months after seeing her documentary, reading her memoir, and watching the Kennedy Center Honors. She has said that 90% of the music she has made in her life and most enjoyed was performed in "living rooms"-hers and those of her friends. Always wanted to be a "fly on the wall" to watch their creativity and community flourish.
Well, this is so much better...we've actually been invited in!
Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for your hospitality. Wish I could've brought you some nice Italian pastry from NY!
Thats the truth .
And i love all of your music vdeos.

@@Mrm_Mario So right. Have seen it and even commented. It was great to revisit this incredible song. Thank you.
You still got it Brian. LOVE YA!
I’m glad he’s getting through this. He’s such a precious gem and should be appreciated for what he has given. ❤️

He has the best support he's ever had in his life
Thank you, dearest Mr. Wilson. I have loved you and the Beach Boys "forever". Your music heals me and brings me untold joy. THANK YOU. So many people you will never know love and appreciate you and all you've given us through the years.
I fully support Brian Willson and his angelic like music.
I wish he would sing Helter Skelter sometime
Great! I saw Brian in California in 2014. Awesome!
We love you, Brian. Thanks for all the positivity that you put out there.
God bless you and yours Brian, keep you all safe and love & mercy to all. 🌻🌻🌻🤙🤙🤙⚡️❤️⚡️🤙🤙🤙🌻🌻🌻
He's still got it! What a guy. What a genius. The incomparable Brian Wilson everyone!
