Brian admitted himself to hospital before the show because he was so anxious and after the show he was so pleased that he finally conquered his fear of Smile.
despite the absence of carl, al and dennis, absolute best version by miles. seeing brian smile so much during this performance, seeing his dream finally realised is truly heartwarming.
I am grateful that Brian Wilson is being honored at this point in his life, very deserving. He created this whole new sound that is recognizable by only hearing one note,one small harmony. Beautiful!
When music is crafted so beautifully as Brian has done, it can bring a tear to your eye and a tightness in your chest that tells you this is the real deal.
smile was hated by his band, and pet sounds was a poor seller in its time. There's so many Van Goghs and Syd Barrett's who either died or were too far gone to know how much their work meant, and how appreciated it would become. It makes me so happy seeing him enjoy how appreciated his work is.
SukkaPunch321 Brian was hated? The band was his two brothers, his cousin, and his best friend. you're talking crap😂 The Beach Boys never really fell out 👍
The Cinematic Mind Which is funny when you think about it. Mike was noted in an interview saying he wanted to move past the surfing music during promotions for their "Today!" album.
"Fell in love long ago with an innocent girl from the Spanish and Indian home of the heroes and villains." An incredible lyric. El mestizaje. Unlike the song "El Paso" by Marty Robbins, this girl wasn't a Latina femme fatal. She's the one who got shot and died, at the hands of these invaders in her land, the heroes and villains. Amazing little bit of storytelling. At least that's how this "girl" sees it. VanDyke Parks, home run.
What makes me happy is imagining all of the practices and him wanting things just so. Look how all of the artists are waiting for his cues throughout the entire performance. Brian is a genius.
Carol Kaye has said the Wrecking Crew was pretty much in awe of Brian, and he was their favorite artist to work for. Self taught, he would write out charts for the band members and have mistakes like stems on the wrong side, but the music was genius, and they recognized it...
This arrangement, orchestration, harmonies and overall performance is one of the best if not the best Wilson creations I have listened to and appreciated. Genius!
One of Brian's best of all time. Got very little play when it was released. The song has very intricate harmonies. Very few groups of today could even come close to sounding this great!!!
They both inspired each other ti write some of the greatest albums ever recorded Rubber Soul inspired Pet Sounds... Pet Sounds inspired Sgt.Pepper.. Sgt Pepper inspired Smile..but Brian was just too fucked up at the time that alot of it didn't make sense..other than like 3 songs that were released from the Smile Sessions...he destroyed the originals that contained rest of it..but it made no sense unlike Pet Sounds...just some fun facts.
@@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH parts were unfinished and some vocals were either unattempted or just not completed but SMiLE was very nearly finished in 67', Brian did an excellent job considering the pressure and push back he was receiving at the time. We will never have the completed version of SMiLE but whats left of the sessions and Brian's 2004 version pretty much show what SMiLE was mean to be, what was 'destroyed' Brain and Van Dyke effectively rebuilt in 2004
@@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH How did Sgt Pepper inspire Smile? Smile was suppose to come out ahead of Sgt Pepper and Smile was shelved before Sgt Pepper even came out.
Saw "Love and & Mercy" last night. Was reminded of why the Smile album is one of my all-time favs! Thank you, Brian for sharing your talents and artistry.
@@AdrianGrabe1 the album this song is off of is called "SMILE" and I'm just guessing but I think she was saying she loved it so much she could cry... Yet shed rather "SMILE" get it?
The whole performance is fantastic, Brian, the Band it emanates such a joy to perform this song its very touching and very catchy at the same time The joy spreads to all those who watch this video
So pleased we have this! Brian was so kind and generous to create this orchestrated version, and, along with the amazing “Surf’s Up”, this is a treasure for all time. Blessings on you, Mr. Wilson.
I just had to comment on this..I have the Smile album and thinks its great but when you see a song like this being done live it just blows my mind. Make no mistake, Brian Wilson is one of the most talented musicians\composers ever to grace this earth. There is so much to be said within this song - The tune itself - positive, catchy, melodic, complicative but at the same time simplistic. The harmonies! - Just listen throughout it and you can hear so many people singing different parts...amazing
I saw them perform this in a small venue in the Uk , it made the hairs on back of my neck stand up at the beginning it was the most wonderful performance of any band I’ve seen ever quite magnificent as was the whole gig every note was perfect brilliant 👏👏👏
Love love love Brian Wilson. The man is a true genius. A word that is thrown around too often, but rarely really applies to someone. Brian is one those very very rare cases. A muscial recolutionary with an astonishing vision and a gift that is out of this world. We are very very lucky that this great man is still among us, and we should let him know how much we worship him. All the love and praise we can give him would still not be enough.
I saw this concert live tripping my balls off. South Florida show, 2008 i believe 😂❤😂🎉 they opened with "wendy" sang a capella with jimbe drums.. the first set was all old school beach boys songs and we were literally glowing in the dark and and sweating bullets during the intermission, then they came back and played the smile suite in its beautiful entirely 😂❤😂😂😂🎉 I still have the $60 concert shirt and $40 tour booklet...
Man. What fun, lively, rhapsody going all over the place and then returning back home. Just way toooo cool! Cannot recall if I had heard it before. Dean Seattle
Thank you, Brian. You’ve been so brave for so long and have made the whole world smile. It’s great to see you finally SMiLE again.The whole world loves you.
so great to see brian wilson's smile like that, looks just like how happy he looked when performing in the earliest days, only devoid of the fear and nervousness in his eyes this guy is the man one hundred percent
Can you imagine trying to figure out how to play this live? Like arrange it? where would you start! I honestly bet they practiced this song for over a year before they got it right 👍
We are so very fortunate to have experienced Brian's music during his lifetime. He will go down in the books as one of the greatest composers of all time. He is an old soul for sure... and one of the good guys!
I appreciate this very much! Thank you Mr.Brian Wilson. I only just two days ago discovered this lovely beautiful, musical album ride. The more times i listen to it, the more I love I have for it. Bless you and yours always Sir!.
They pull this off wonderfully! Obviously Brian doesn't have the same voice that he used to have, but he goes out and does his best, and pulls it off with so much passion. I Love IT!
Brian Wilson is a musical angel. An energy warrior. Destroyer of darkness and giver of light and the miracle of perfect music to heal us, out soles and the planet “God only knows “
This is one of the most different, and amazing songs, arrangements in the history of rock and roll.... I think only good vibrations, and MacArthur's park come close to it... Most rock, pop bands never came up with anything close to this.... Thank you Brain for all the great music... Check out, good by to the class of 74.. It's my epic song... 21 songs i wrote on you tube.....
He looks so happy and that makes me so happy 🥹🥹🥹
Brian's concert is like going to musical heaven.
🙏 YES! 🙏
Fantástico!
Brian Wilson 🎼🌹
he looks so much happier in this song. usually brian looks like he doesn't want to be there
The whole concert he's looking so happy!
Brian admitted himself to hospital before the show because he was so anxious and after the show he was so pleased that he finally conquered his fear of Smile.
Probably helped that Mike Love wasn't there lol
Fuck Mike Love
Ironic as well because for over 30 years he was terrified of this song.
Brian is one of those rare geniuses that only come along once in a generation.
J Mason Yeah, more like once in a century. Just my opinion okay. Don't beat me up.
I´am with you, Kevin Russell! One in a century!
Aneeta TV probably right. Probably too small too
Aneeta TV Hey suits me. You're boring anyway
+J Mason I think a genius like Brian Wilson only ever comes along once......period :)
one of the best beach boys songs ever, very under-rated
kayla farrell I take it further, one of the most important songs ever recorded.
and I agree with both of you
100% AGREE
My #1 favorite song of all time, though it doesn't REALLY start until about 2:12
Great song, and this is a masterful performance.
This is seriously one of the most amazing live performances ive seen in a while
MardukFilms I saw them live in Detroit a month ago -- every song is like this. So much precision and passion, it's amazing. I recommend it.
despite the absence of carl, al and dennis, absolute best version by miles. seeing brian smile so much during this performance, seeing his dream finally realised is truly heartwarming.
“The best touring band in the world. Period.”
-Sir Paul McCartney
What did he say that about Brian's touring band or the beach boys in their prime?
Who can argue with Sir Paul?
Brian's God Only Knows is Paul's
favourite song.

Still spine tingling after fifty years. Pure brilliance
It's so nice to see Brian smiling.
Brian Wilson never looks happier than performing music from SMiLE 😀
It's the name of the album.
I feel happy to see Brian's happy. This song is a jewel thanks Brian!
When music is crafted so beautifully as Brian has done, it can bring a tear to your eye and a tightness in your chest that tells you this is the real deal.

SukkaPunch321 Brian was hated? The band was his two brothers, his cousin, and his best friend. you're talking crap😂 The Beach Boys never really fell out 👍
The band disliked Pet Sounds, and despised the Smile project. No one, "hated," Brian. They wanted to continue with surf music.
SukkaPunch321 Especially Mike Love

is one of the unsung HEROES!

The man is a perfectionist with a tremendous gift and a genuine sincerity that just wants to make people happy. What a gift he is to the world.
Every time I hear a Brian Wilson song it brings a smile to my face. That's 62 years of smiles (my age). 😃
The music is only exceeded by the smile on Brian's face. Who knew? We had our fingers crossed for you , Guy.
I just love how Bryan is so incredibly elated performing his songs
Makes me Smile
One of Brian's best of all time. Got very little play when it was released. The song has very intricate harmonies. Very few groups of today could even come close to sounding this great!!!
What do you mean very few???
I say NONE!
Man you beat me to it. Very few = none!
This is one of the songs that scared the shit out of the Beatles. Say what you will, it only created better artistry.

@@supremelc3667 I guess there's always going to be an asshole commentator and guess what? It's YOU.
You can tell how much this song means to Brian, especially finally getting to perform it in its intended context.
The harmonization at the beginning was sooo beautiful!! Gave me goosebumps
Such harmony complexity can only come from a brain that can live in parallel universes. Genius!!!
Brian at his best.
With a brilliant backing band.
Very uplifting...
Saw "Love and & Mercy" last night. Was reminded of why the Smile album is one of my all-time favs! Thank you, Brian for sharing your talents and artistry.
Besides the brilliance of the melody and writing genius....quite possibly THE best performance of this song EVER!!!
im 79 so been a fan for some time this man walks on water for me and it's not been easy for him to give his all and he did and more bless brian a fan
Fantastico! Brian Wilson is up there with Bach n Beethoven! Musical magic.

This entire concert is a masterpiece I wish I could have been there.
What a great rebirth of these songs. They deserve every credit that there is.
Got to see Brian at the Byron Blues festival a few years ago and he and the band were fabulous

wilson looks so happy here, he must feel a sense of fulfillment playing the smile songs
Amazing harmonies with the Wondermints on our prayer. The Heroes and Villains performance here is so very good, very, very cool.
Genius.
There is no other word for him.
The sound engineer and mixer should have been awarded Grammy's for this sound. So freaking awesome separation and tonal goodness.
It makes me so happy to see Brian Wilson being so happy.
I saw him in Philly. I’ve never felt like I was in the presence of total genius like that before. Profound.
Brian sounds great along with a great song and band!

This man heard it all in his head. He spent his life translating it to music. I feel privileged to be able to listen along.
“Our Prayer” will forever give me chills.
After years and years I finally stopped searching for perfection. Peace at least

Heroes and Villain's and Surf's Up are two of the best jams of the late 60s
