Carl once said out of a million musicians Brian hears every detail and knows who messes up or who isn't loud enough or who didn't play, etc. Considering the fact that he is deaf in one ear, he hears it all! He's still a genius at his age, God bless him!
There’s a lot said about Brian Wilson’s production skills, it’s no joke he really is that good. Amazing to see his studio prowess is still in tact at this age. Thank you Brian, you are the very best!
The way he talked to the sax player was like the way 20 yo BW talkec to Hal Blaine et al recording Good Vibrations. I was surprised, blessed, to see him grasp the subtle nuances of recording the song!! Amazed at what stays with us amidst what falls away.
What a force! Totally in control and knows exactly what he wants. This is so awesome to see Brian flexing his great studio muscles. Thanks for sharing!
@@morbidmanmusic staged and edited somewhat (they were shooting a documentary), but as a musician and producer I know and can tell he is in full control and knows what he wants. Brian is elderly, but seems to come to life in the studio interacting with musicians.
@@morbidmanmusic With all due respect, and remember I'm saying with all due respect, that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.
@@nicknewman7848 Oh man. I played that over and over. They're sitting at the console trying different mixes on "God Only Knows"..... I have to go watch that again now!
Brian's still got it! He was always at his most comfortable and content with a great musical idea and a room full of musicians he could direct. It's a privilege to watch the master at work!
He's even better than his mentor,Phil Spector.He compartmentalizes a bit more precisely,which is why you hear what hear with his arrangements,why they are so unique.
I've had the privilege of meeting almost all the musicians in this video (including Brian) and I can attest they are the nicest guys around, every single one.
@@qasanoba I had a brief chat with Mike Love when I paid extra for the VIP package (decided to treat myself). I've met Al Jardine, Blondie Chaplin, most of the band. Brice Johnston was kinda dickish when I asked for a photo. I've hung out with Probyn Gregory and Nelson Bragg after or before shows.I feel good knowing that at least 2 members of BW's band consider me friends.
Brian I'm just after being playing a computer game set in the 60s and I was driving a beautiful soft top corvette and your music came on coming from Dublin Ireland and born in the mid 70s can only dream about that time, but please remember u played the most important part in music in that important era cracked the mould on modern music .I hope you read this the game caused me to watch smile live again a master piece thanks BRIAN do much greetings from Dublin Ireland and hope you and your family are well
Love seeing this. This is Brian in his element, in control, knowing exactly what he wants. This scene might have been my favorite part of all of Long Promised Road. In fact seeing this, I wish I could watch an entire documentary of just this kind of stuff - just Brian in the studio, over the course of a day or even multiple days, laying down track parts, directing his band, etc etc.
Interesting to see so much anxiety and trepidation from Brian sitting in the car oputside the studio, then once inside and next to the piano, trying to explain what his mind hears to the pianist and then saying fuck it, Ill play lol that was Golden. From that point on he was onthe Kings throne~
Omg, my heart! Love this! The studio footage or recordings have always been my favorites through the years. When my daughter was little & we listened to Beach Boys in the car from all eras, she recognized that they sounded different over the years. So I started pointing out, "That's young Brian" or "That's Grandpa Brian." etc. In this video, you can feel the years roll away. Grandpa Brian is still goin' strong, but young Brian is still in there too. When he was giving the BA BA BAs, I fell back in my chair, cause all I could hear was him giving the parts of Good Vibrations to the Wrecking Crew or pounding out the vocal parts for the boys back in the day. Love you Brian, we love you so much. Thank you for sharing your lovely gentle soul.
Boy Brian is still at it. He sure going hard and strong. I listen to his songs especially the pet sounds album. Keep you mind Love is here. Today yeah. Wayne Johnston
I love you, Mr. Wilson. Thank you for changing my life with your music. I saw this in theaters and was smiling the whole time we got to see you working in the studio. Maybe someday I will be able to tell you in person how important you are to me. I finally got to see you in concert on October 15th in Washington D.C. Thank you once again, for everything.
To have such a talent that you hear it in your mind and then have to teach what you hear in your head to other people and to have such a ear to hear things 98 percent of us would never notice has to be amazing and yet frustrating at same time Imagine being the smartest man in the room and having to bring everyone else up to your speed your entire life. Thank you Mr. Brian Wilson for sharing your wonderful talent with all of us.
Do these musicians have a clue as to the incredible privilege it is to be in the presence of a astounding genious?? I'm completely mesmerized to even be able to have access to the sessions and anything and everything Brian Wilson! Hurry back to Texas, Brian! You ate so loved and admired. A gentle, sweet soul in a world of harshness and uncertainty. Bless you always.
They most definitely know. They are (or were) Brian's touring band for over 20 years. Brian and his band did their last concert in the summer of 2022 and he is now presumably enjoying a peaceful retirement at home.
Long promised road documentary had me in tears throughout. We are so privileged to have Brian in our lives and I'm so thankful that I have been fortunate enough to see him live twice. He keeps going despite his insecurities and I love him for it. Love and Mercy to Brian and to you and your families tonight . X
Are you sure it's the? YAH This is a great video for Brian fans. He tries to teach it to the piano player a couple times, then proceeds to take over the piano himself, instruct the sessions musicians just exactly how he wants it, then does a take and nails it.
Absolutely wonderful to see Brian in this frame of mind at this stage of his career. He's just loving it. I've been listening to this mans music since 1964 when I was just 12 years old. Hes got music in his soul, who would have believed that in 2021 when he's 79 years old Brian Wilson comes up with a brand new documentary " Long Promised Road" a new album "At My Piano" and will touring the US and Europe in 2022 having started professionally in 1961. I'll see you at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool next year Brian.
@@mitchmcturtle6890 Mike can judge all he thinks he should. Brian's "fried" brains scored a masterpiece with his 10th album at the age of 21+/-. And he will also go down as a foundation in music. In fairness, Brian considered Mike to be his favorite collaborator. (What an honor!). Humility would be a good color on him.
@@cjm3729 yeah in my opinion Mike is the crazy one. He doesn’t realize how stupid he looks doing the beach boy thing without Brian. Also, do you have 2 CJM accounts lol?
Mr Brian Wilson knowns sound and its feelings. Kind quick friendly to all in studio!! Honest with his feelings of creative performance butterflies. Merry Christmas !! too the man with all the toys...Bless your heart..
That is amazing! As good as when he was writing his greatest hits! What a genius! One of my favorite musicians ever! I still cry sometimes when I hear Beach Boys songs from when I met my wife in film school.
I enjoyed watching this on TV and it made me understand Brian Wilson more. I'm glad I got to see him in Santa Barbara a few years ago and back in my teen years we enjoyed the Beach Boys concert at Anaheim Stadium. Thanks for all the great songs, Brian.
I like how the intro makes it seem like he is mixing time signatures but it all still lines up with a 4/4 beat and all comes together when the whole band comes in. It's like an auditory illusion.
I have been listening to your music my entire life. When I hear one of your songs, it always takes me back to when I was a little girl growing up and now your recent music takes me into my senior years. Thanks for all the great music throughout my life Brian!
Brian is a living legend, and a musical genious much like Mozart, Bethoven and all the other greats in the music pantheon, he will always have a huge place in my heart.
Man, would I like to see another Brian Wilson album. His "Right Where I Belong" recent release was fantastic. The Joe Thomas production on TWGMTR and NPP, I gotta say, made it a little tough for me to really enjoy otherwise excellent songwriting. Wow, if Brian could pull off an album in the same vein as Right Where I Belong, man, what a beautiful, impactful listening experience that could make for.
Carl once said out of a million musicians Brian hears every detail and knows who messes up or who isn't loud enough or who didn't play, etc. Considering the fact that he is deaf in one ear, he hears it all! He's still a genius at his age, God bless him!
Genius is a state of being, yet age is measured over time.
I agree Brian Wilson's genius is set in timeless motion.
It's incredible how Brian has all the sounds in his head. Once he's behind the piano he's meshed into the music. Pure genius
Age has not dulled his genius one bit...fantastic to see this.
There’s a lot said about Brian Wilson’s production skills, it’s no joke he really is that good. Amazing to see his studio prowess is still in tact at this age. Thank you Brian, you are the very best!

It's staged and edited. He's an old man, and off the game. The hours you don't see would show that. By no means am I disrespectful to the master.
He is just so down to earth, and oh boy does he know his stuff.
@@morbidmanmusic staged and edited somewhat (they were shooting a documentary), but as a musician and producer I know and can tell
he is in full control and knows what he wants. Brian is elderly, but seems to come to life

@@morbidmanmusic I guess you were there and know this for sure?
@@morbidmanmusic With all due respect, and remember I'm saying with all due respect, that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.
Brian Wilson makes the World a better place to be.
It's because of Brian that I'm hardworking to be a music producer. He's my hero.
Never give up.
I always want to give Brian a hug I never wanted to hug a man so bad 🥲
"The guitars sound a little fuzzy." Brian's left ear is still amazing. As Bob Dylan once said, he ought to will that ear to the Smithsonian.
Seen the footage of him and George Martin in the studio with the Pet Sounds masters? It's class.
@@nicknewman7848 Oh man. I played that over and over. They're sitting at the console trying different mixes on "God Only Knows"..... I have to go watch that again now!
Brian Wilson every time I hear that name I think genius. Ahead of his time! We love you Brian
It's so heart warming to see Brian say hi to people it's such a small thing but it's great
I can’t express how much I love and respect Brian Wilson.
Such a joy to see Brian so sharp-minded and truly enjoying himself. Fantastic video
Brian's still got it! He was always at his most comfortable and content with a great musical idea and a room full of musicians he could direct. It's a privilege to watch the master at work!

Agree-i would love to see him doing this for different tracks and types of sounds, especially vocals!
Imagine a "Get Back"-style documentary with footage from the Pet Sounds sessions
Agreed
@@Drewlyy There’s a documentary about “Pet Sounds” and it’s like the “Get Back” one.
I just wanna hug him ! He is my hero. A musical genius of the highest caliber and a sweet and gentle soul.

Brian is so cool. We are so blessed to still have him with us, a living legend
I could watch Brian do this all day. At 79, he still hears everything. He's amazing.
Amazing to see Brian deliberate in the studio!
The genius is still inside of him... One of the greatest songwriters of his generation!
Brian and music go together. Such an excellent producer and musician.
Musical Genius
Great to see brian still has the ear and eye for it all honeycomb is a great old song

Brian Wilson is my favorite musician. He's a genius.
A genius at work
Brian is an American gem, and his composing and producing are some of the best skills in the world. The new album was amazing!

I'm pretty sure they do. Darian Sahanaja for instance has essentially sacrificed his entire professional life to supporting Brian.
They know.

Brian Wilson, "THE BEST", of the best !!!! Thanks God for loaning him to us, for as long as you can. 🙏
Magic at 2:46, that Brian 'Wall of Sound' sends the fidelity tripping the lights fantastic.
It feels like home again
Brian your timing is impeccable.
The Master at work. God, I love this guy!
Are you sure it's the? YAH
This is a great video for Brian fans. He tries to teach it to the piano player a couple times, then proceeds to take over the piano himself, instruct the sessions musicians just exactly how he wants it, then does a take and nails it.
Brian in his element! Love this and the sparkle in his eye! :)
The studio reanimates Brian. Absolutely amazing!
The sheer respect everyone else in the room has for Brian is stunning!
Brian is back.. Well I never knew that he was gone (as the song goes). If the whole world was a studio.. Brian Wilson would be the King.
Awesome to see you ~The Master~ at work in the studio! God bless you Brian! Love your new cd. It arrived 2 days ago. It's FANTASTIC! 🎶🎶👍🙏💜🙏👍🎶🎶
GOD BLESS BRIAN WILSON!
Watching the man work, amazing.
He has no reason to be Humble, Yet He is ......He got them to NAIL IT.....easily
This is so awesome to see! I gotta see this whole film!
More more more of this please!!
yes!!!

Well that just made my day. Thank you so much.
Still got it!
Always makes me happy to see Brian playing and making music.
Even at 80 Brian knows exactly what he wants out of his sound.
A total genius
Wow. When he gets in the groove, he’s just superhuman, even at his age. Total legend.
What a wonderful human being.
To Brian & Family, wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for all of the amazing music! Love from the UK :)
watching him work is just an absolute privilege
he's really in his element and so excited. Wonderful!
I absolutely love Brian Wilson. Love and mercy is my favorite musical biopic.
Still kicks ass in the studio.. A Master at work and it's a privilege to be able to see this. Thanks for the amazing music Brian.
Great to see Brian producing again
Genius.
Music is in every cell in his body. Creating is no different than breathing to him.
Unbelievable. I already have another Brian earworm running through my head now.
Genius at work. Looking forward to seeing him and his band in June.
I'm seeing them in July. The last show that I saw was when he toured with The Zombies. It was great!
I’ve seen him live three times. He’s always spectacular!
Mr Brian Wilson knowns sound and its feelings. Kind quick friendly to all in studio!! Honest with his feelings of creative performance butterflies. Merry Christmas !! too the man with all the toys...Bless your heart..
Thank you Brian for sharing your amazing talents with us. And for creating the soundtrack of my life! YOU ARE A GEM!!!
Brain is incredible. He sometimes seems like he may be frail but once he hears music and he’s in his element Brian comes to life.
What A LEGEND! Brian is, even at 80 the ear and the mind still RAZOR SHARP!! a true musician and professional bless him
A genius at work. Love it!
That is amazing! As good as when he was writing his greatest hits! What a genius! One of my favorite musicians ever! I still cry sometimes when I hear Beach Boys songs from when I met my wife in film school.
Brian is a masterful genius. He has been referred to as a modern day Mozart

Awesome Brian!! I love it ! Seeing your skills ! Your up there with the greatest Brian!! Keep the music coming!! Hope to see you on tour!!
Wow! Maestro In the House! And the sparkle in his eyes……it’s terrific!
How can you not love the guy? Long live Mr. Brian Wilson! ❤️🎼
Amazing how he comes up with this stuff in his head!
WOW! How does he hear all this stuff? Amazing!
How many legends have lost the plot and then left us? And yet here's a guy you could call a creative warrior who has won the battles he's faced.
I like how the intro makes it seem like he is mixing time signatures but it all still lines up with a 4/4 beat and all comes together when the whole band comes in. It's like an auditory illusion.
He's so comfortable in the studio, clearly
The excitement in his voice when he says can we go in and hear it just melts my heart a true musical genius
This man will always be my biggest inspiration and someone I strive to be with my very music.
Brian Wilson, at the piano, in the studio… gives me chills to see it!
I would love if Brian did an all instrumental album of original songs
He did a bit but they’re on his piano very beautiful!
Even the music on Pet Sounds that he wrote and arranged sounds good on its own.
@@SnoW-wc2rw I want that album
I have been listening to your music my entire life. When I hear one of your songs, it always takes me back to when I was a little girl growing up and now your recent music takes me into my senior years. Thanks for all the great music throughout my life Brian!
Brian is a living legend, and a musical genious much like Mozart, Bethoven and all the other greats in the music pantheon, he will always have a huge place in my heart.
i really love this guy!
He will drive you nuts but what a genius!!!
the mind on Brian even after all its abuse !!! Been a fan since i was a little kid ...
Merry Christmas and much love to you in the New Year, Brian! I'm feeling thrilled and privileged to see you at work! Thank you for the beauty...

True Rock Stars - don't get old - they just keep on Rollin'!
This is so great to see Brian again! Doing what he does best!
When Brian is in the studio it's like all of his troubles just go away and his younger self returns.
