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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
@@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?
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!!!
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 👍
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.
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
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 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 👏👏👏
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
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.
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.
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!.
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
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 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...
I searched for this video in order to share it with a friend.. and ended up watching the whole thing again because it still blows my mind.. looking at what's on stage gives you just an inkling of the scale of what Brian was trying to accomplish in the studio back in 1966-67.
Brian I loved your music in the 60's when I was 10 and after seeing Love and Mercy I'm I to it again. Never knew what you went through and makes me appreciate your music more than ever! ❤️
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.....

🙏 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.
He looks so happy and that makes me so happy 🥹🥹🥹
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.
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.
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!
“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.

Brian Wilson never looks happier than performing music from SMiLE 😀
It's the name of the album.
It's so nice to see Brian smiling.
This is one of the songs that scared the shit out of the Beatles. Say what you will, it only created better artistry.

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

You can tell how much this song means to Brian, especially finally getting to perform it in its intended context.
Thanks Brian, you helped me to get through alot of my rough times. You are a Saint.
That didn't happen with me!
Yes, Brian's talent DID. and.
it still does! Brian Wilson
is one of the unsung HEROES!

The harmonization at the beginning was sooo beautiful!! Gave me goosebumps
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!
The music is only exceeded by the smile on Brian's face. Who knew? We had our fingers crossed for you , Guy.
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 👍
Such harmony complexity can only come from a brain that can live in parallel universes. Genius!!!
Pure genius. Period
I just love how Bryan is so incredibly elated performing his songs
Makes me Smile
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.
Every time I hear a Brian Wilson song it brings a smile to my face. That's 62 years of smiles (my age). 😃
Words cannot describe the genius of Brian Wilson. Absolutely amazing
Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, and Brian.
What could be better?

No

At 2:15 is the sound of a tortured soul finally being released from Hell.

So wonderful to see Brian happy and doing his magical stuff
