Things must have been rough for the Beach Boys during this time. It looks like Mike was telling fortunes on the side to make some extra cash. Great video,
Helen25243 Denny loved both of his brothers very much. Word has it that he was a very lovable and caring guy. It's too bad he left us so early in his life 😕
@@worschtee1 Indeed, from most accounts Dennis was a very good guy despite his rough edges, he would give you the shirt off his own back if you didn't have one. Damn Manson and Murry Wilson for causing him so much unhappiness that ultimately destroyed him.
Hallelujah!! Brian happy- Dennis and Carl still here-All the boys singing a joyful noise. Magical video. I love it. God Bless Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. Amen
This clip came from the Beach Boys' 1976 tv prime-time special that I think was on NBC. The song is also featured on the lp "15 Big Ones" that had come out around that time. It was like the group was making a comeback in the later 1970's and a single or two came from the album. I just wish someone would post that entire tv special since it was quite good to see the guys back. Sad that Dennis passed away just seven years later and then years later, Carl. But the guys' music will NEVER die!!
@@magneto7930 It sure was! This was a VERY enjoyable primetime Beach Boys special around the time that "15 Big Ones" came out. I LOVED this version of the song compared to the album's version.
@@katrinadawnmiller7832 I will have to check out the video of the 1976 tv special around the time that the "15 Big Ones" album came out. Thanks for letting me know since I could not find the tv special years ago on TH-cam.
How great this is to see Brian so happy and obviously relaxed that he was dancing a bit. Also to see all the BB's together. This is one magnificent video, thank you so much for posting it. I love them all but Brian is so special. Have added this to my Favourites.
my guess is - this was recorded live - but shot a couple times - and the best footage added - it definitely sounds live - its just great to see Brian get happy at the end - he starts getting into it.....like the song is just ok - he knows that - but with the choir going - the happy part of him clicks on a little bit.....heh
This is a gem! Wish they showed this at the Kennedy Center. What a groovin' blast. And Billy Hinsche in the choir! Bravo! Brian looked so great and healthy with Dennis and Carl alongside him.
This is priceless, golden and anything else you want to call perfect. This is Brian at his last creative peak with his brothers and the boys. Whatever you want to say about Brian, the world had faith in him including me.
Yes, I read that too, but I.m sure he loved Carl & Brian. They went through so much in their childhood together. In a TH-cam clip, he (Dennis) ran up during a concert, and kissed Brian on the top of his head, it was so sweet, and who didn't love Carl?
Fantastic! Agree they should have released this version on '15 big ones' Love the way Brian is rockin at the end,really getting into the power of the choir!
That look that Carl gives Brian at 1:56 is like "uhhh I'm not sure how you're going to end this chorus part Brian, but I trust you since you're a genius."
I adore this video - for the reasons everybody's already mentioned + the hole fun catchy happy eartworm of the song/performance itself. This makes me so happy. Also makes me watch the video several times in a row and sing along while doing not-entirely ironic Mike love style hand gestures (Seriously just the idea of MIKE LOVE JAZZ HANDS is possibly the funniest thing ever.) . & singing along i sharf while it's also making you(me) grin so much my face hurts.
Choirmaster Alexander Hamilton (also known for his work with Aretha Franklins amazing performance at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church around this same time) is KILLING it on piano here. I could tell before I saw his face that that was him because of how he was grooving with his body! RIP.
GREAT ! AWESOME ! MAGNIFICENT ! Didn't even know that this song existed. I have shivers running up and down my spine. So blessed that Dennis, Carl and Brian were still alive and together. LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS SONG !
DW is so soul at 2:09 and CW just takes over in the latter part of the chorus, fulfilling his role as the group's performance-perfectionist-genius. And lest we forget BW, who's so upbeat here! Thanks Bri for creating the happiest music I've heard. And thanks Den for your sheer musical brilliance.
this video especially proves to me that without carl, even if Brian, Al, and maybe David came back with Mike and Bruce, there's no way to really get that sound without Carl's voice.
Brian looks lost, but totally in the moment. Mike looks like a friggin' tool. Carl and Al look mildly uncomfortable but trying to mask it and being professional. Dennis looks like he's way into it and completely at ease. Is this the same choir which performed on POB? Is that Billy Hinsche in the choir t 1:46?
@Helen25243 I'm sure DW loved his bros, but I read a quote in a recent bio where he said if they weren't in a band together, he'd probably never speak to them, but fell in love with him through their music.
they should have done more music like this! the choir and big band stuff they were recording during this time was all Brians idea (like so often) he was more hands off most of the time than during the pet sounds days, but he always had a positive influence on their music!
I feel like brian always yearned for what he had during the pet sounds era and smile just having dozens of talented musicians to work with and hang out with to bounce ideas off, i think he was just really lonely in his later years as people kinda dismissed him as “off the rocker”
I've seen this clip a dozen times, for sure -- and never noticed (or else forgot) that Billy Hinsche is in the choir (1:48). Seems that this performance is longer than the TV version, too. I believe this is the same choir Dennis used in recording the "River Song", around the same time period.
yeah, this is some rare footage of Brian around his comeback period when he was still quite young and before his worst times in the late 70's early 80's, of course followed by the permanent damage caused to him by the psycho-tropic drugs that Landy gave him. He is fantastic in this video, and so is everyone else who is present. Naturally, I would imagine that Brian wrote and arranged this, but I'm not sure.
Love all your comments peeps. This is a gem. A few thoughts. 1. Music is the voice of God (a quote from Brian?). 2. Who can be unhappy while singing with a gospel choir? Music heals Brian visibly by the end of the video. Moment of grace as his anxiety dissipates into joy. 3. Other than his goofy turban, Mike doesn't get to play Mr. Big Shot in the House of the Lord. There's one soloist and one choir to make One Voice.
@1:25- 1:30 Mike Love 'emotes' via the medium of jazz hands and thumps up signs while right next to him Dennis Wilson has too much soul for one person.
Interesting that when, towards the end, the black guy playing keyboards and directing the wonderful choir, gets up on his feet the keyboards continue. Who else was on keyboards during the take?
Brian's dancing at 2:43 is possibly the greatest thing ever.
Yeah, how often do you see Brian looking happy?
Check out Brian singing Runaway in Seattle with Alan Jardine, he dances there too!!!
I agree!
A cinnamon roll
@@michaelthesurfer Thank You
Rev Dr Alexander Hamilton at 00:46, Choir Director and piano player for this song. Died Jan. 28 2022 at age 77
He may be seen also as choir director for Aretha Franklin in 1972 at th-cam.com/video/H4eiQmJsSsI/w-d-xo.html
Things must have been rough for the Beach Boys during this time. It looks like Mike was telling fortunes on the side to make some extra cash. Great video,
haha hilarious - well Venice Beach boardwalk was just down the street from Brother Studios.
Besides fortune telling, perhaps he could pick up some extra coin applying tattoos?
His Hawthorne version of a doo-rag.
@terry One of the best lines ever!
His jazz fingers killed me
The way Dennis looked into Carl's eyes at mark 40, looks as if he really loved his baby brother. Take a look!

stop, you’ll make me cry
Dennis loved and praised his brothers bigtime!
@@worschtee1 Dennis said he probably wouldn't have hung out with his brothers, if it wasn't for the music.
Thank God for Brian Wilson.
You said it!
At the start Brian looked kinda wide eyed, but as the song goes on you can see he's really enjoying it all. It looks like it was all fun
Billy Hinsche in the choir is pretty damn funny. Hilarious actually. I love this version - should be released (on CD that is). Brian's really into it.
good eye. One of these things is not like the other? I just thought it was the random person who likes to join black churches.
Thought i was going crazy😅
This is the same choir that sings on Dennis Wilson's solo album. :D
I believe it is
wow this is amazing-Never seen this before! The Beach Boys with a Black Gospel choir!
I love how endless Dennis and Carl are being in videos it's like they are still here and will be forever
Brian looked happy here : )
Dennis also used this same choir on "River Song".
This version is so much better than what was released on 15 Big Ones.
Hallelujah!! Brian happy- Dennis and Carl still here-All the boys singing a joyful noise. Magical video. I love it.

Doug Celeste I've read about that NBC special on a few different sites but have never been able to find the title of it...does anyone know?
I remember watching that special when it aired on television in 1976. The skit with Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi was classic!
@@magneto7930 It sure was! This was a VERY enjoyable primetime Beach Boys special around the time that "15 Big Ones" came out. I LOVED this version of the song compared to the album's version.

Trust Julie Anne to be the one commenting for attention.
I keep playing this over and over again. Can't get enough.

Nice to see the original Beach Boys.

God Bless Carl @ Dennis, Love you Brian & Al
I just found this and love it. Everyone is together and looks happy. Brian looks so animated and dancing!

I don't have words for how awesome this clip is!
I have been a bb fan for a long time but I just discovered this song. I am so glad I did. I love it!
Fantastic! Agree they should have released this version on '15 big ones'
Love the way Brian is rockin at the end,really getting into the power of the choir!
Havent been able to stop watching this since I found it, thanks!
Absolutely love this. Great little song and nice to see Brian looking so happy. Amazing 🙌
Ah, happy Brian.
That look that Carl gives Brian at 1:56 is like "uhhh I'm not sure how you're going to end this chorus part Brian, but I trust you since you're a genius."
I LOVE DENNIS AND CARL SHARING A MIC!!! Those Brothers - gotta love them!!!
Definitely! I often wonder what the three of them could have done musically together with Brian, had Carl and Dennis lived longer.
This is so joyful to watch! I wonder if Mike Love found his genie lamp.
Simply awesome. Soul.
love to see the bros all singing together! And, of course, Al!
Dennis' eyes say it all at 0:40 - it's all about love!! And how cute is Al around 1:24?!! Also, very great to see Brian smile here! :)

Did you notice the piano kept playing after he stood up and went to the choir? Very talented.
Beautiful in so many ways.
GREAT ! AWESOME ! MAGNIFICENT ! Didn't even know that this song existed. I have shivers running up and down my spine. So blessed that Dennis, Carl and Brian were still alive and together. LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS SONG !
I love seeing Brian get more into it the further and further into the song.
That Same Song was a highlight of the utterly stupendous, back to basics 15 Big Ones album. Elated that this clip has survived. Magnficent.
Heartwarming. Love you, Beach Boys.
I still love this song, its even better than the album version!

Wow I never knew that a live performance of this song existed on video, totally just made my day. Thanks 4 posting=)
Glorious glorious ...just when you thought youd heard it all😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I wondered about the piano!! Thought I was goning crazy!!
Love this version
omg, the piano is playing by itself at 2:48 O.o
this video especially proves to me that without carl, even if Brian, Al, and maybe David came back with Mike and Bruce, there's no way to really get that sound without Carl's voice.
My Carl was so awesome, and Denny was great and Brian -- well -- just awesome -- Al was so sweet -- noticed you left out the lovester hee hee
What is the name of this Gospel Choir? I could listen to this over and over. The joy they bring to this song is amazing.
Brian just shared this video on fb!
Rockin in Church! Love it. See Billy Hinsche in the choir? Brian looks so happy here. Rare to see him smile like that.
Thank you Brian for sharing us good music.
I love how happy and proud Brian is at 2:43. Such a great feeling
Great seeing Dennis and Carl. I love this song!!!
I have always ALWAYS wanted to be part of a gospel choir like this.
One of my fave BB vids ever
Bought “15 Big Ones” Just To Get THIS SONG!!! Back 1976. The Year My OBSESSION with BRIAN Began!!!
I love this thank-you Brian this brought joy to my heart
MAN!!! this was my fav song when i was about 7!! I am now 15 and i still love it :D :D :D

Caz Gerald Yep, that’s Billy Hinsche.
Nah, I think Carl's into it. He seems very much at ease at 2:07.
superb!!!!

yeah I did know, but thanks for the update.

brian wilson is the best, is rare to see all beach boys singing together
The Piano Player is Fabulous!
Wonderful. Thanks.
People forget that from 1961 to 1966 Brian was the man. Seemed like every other month he was putting out hit after hit, album after album.
Once again my suspicions that Mike (who can I sue today) Love, needs help are confirmed!
That little hand frill Mike Love does at 1:25 lmao
Amazing!
Holy shit, Rivers!
LINDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that Billy Hinsche making a cameo in choir robes at 1:49?
AcrossfromtheAlamo Yes
Love this performance. The gospel choir elevates the song
Just love this! So joyful! 😆
wonderful appreciation!!!
Hahaha Mike Love cracks me up at 1:14 . There all having so much fun!
Interesting that when, towards the end, the black guy playing keyboards and directing the wonderful choir, gets up on his feet the keyboards continue. Who else was on keyboards during the take?
Can someone please make a 10-hour loop of this
I LOVE this !!
