The Brian's Back Trilogy - The Story of Brian Wilson's 70s Masterpieces
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.พ. 2020
- The Brian Wilson story often ends in the 1960s, but in the next decade he created a trio of albums, 15 Big Ones, The Beach Boys Love You, and Adult/Child(unreleased), that are considered by some fans to be their favorite of his work.
Brian' Back, I thought, was a documentary about Brian's chronic back injury from carrying the Beach Boys.
Dont underestimate Mike's conttibution!
hahahaha
Couldn't have said it better myself! And that's saying a lot because I'm pretty arrogant!
The follow-up should be called "Mike's back"...a chronicle of Mike Love's chronic back pain's ever since he gave Charlie Manson a piggy back ride at that one hippie party/saence Dennis threw in his Lavish "garden"
@@thomaskemer8109 Oh stop...I'm tired of you Mike fan boys ..he rhymed words..so amazing
Brian's whole story is so endlessly fascinating.
Agreed, there is so much to delve in to. And his story may be the deepest but the history of the entire band (especially the Wilsons) is just nuts.
The Beach Boys Love You is such an incredible album. It just grows and grows on you.
“Let’s put our hearts together” is so special to me
That Brian Wilson clip with Belushi and Aykroyd has such a student film quality to it.
“It’s Over Now” is playing too slowly. You can tell by Carl’s voice. This draggy version first showed up on a box set CD release a good while ago…the “Good Vibrations” box I believe.
Never thought someone would call 15 Big Ones a masterpiece
My thoughts entirely, although I happen to like it
Probably the biggest clusterfuck In their catalogue. Even Summer in Paradise feels like… cohesive. 15 Big Ones is just a total insane trainwreck with occasional moments of brilliance thrown in for good measure
@@officialFredDurstfanclub Summer In Paradise is a cohesive trainwreck. I quite like 15 Big Ones more and a half.
Right out of the gate with that god-awful production on Rock and Roll Music...I never got much further into it. And that was just the first track. 🤢
It served its purpose sort of. 🏄♂️
Dude I thought this had like millions of views from some professional docu company - bravo, sir. This deserves the spotlight & as does Brian's story.
Thank you and I agree!
I didn’t care much for The Beach Boys growing up, although the neighbor boy did.
I recently received from TH-cam a playlist made up of what I have been listening to for the last 3 months or so and lo and behold it heavily features The Beach Boys.
I notice references to Brian Wilson so many times when listening to other music he has influenced.
Deep respect for the legend that is Brian Wilson.
Brian is my hero, the Love You album is a canon in pop music...thanks for this!
Love You is an absolute gem. Long live Mr. Brian Wilson!! ❤️❤️
Beach Boys Love You is quirky but it’s one of my fave albums to listen to all the way thru for some reason! Brian was coming out of his shell again and re-learning his craft again. Pity about the times with Landy and him ripping the band off with his exorbitant fees but he must’ve done some good too. Pity he isn’t around now to answer for some of the criticisms!
Anytime the creative and collective genius of a bunch of musicians like the Wilson brothers and the other guys get together there have to be difficulties. All the great bands have difficulties of some sort! The gifts they gave us are absolute gold!
Mike Love's stage attire is something to behold.
Hate him
Brian in the 70s was basically shortnin bread
This is a really good video.
This is one of the most underrated things I’ve seen, great job!
by who is this underrated?
@@sodiumlights it only has 30k views that says enough
The look on Brian's face at 17:42 alone begs for another video on his 1980s output. What a rough life, I'm glad he eventually found some stability in it.
How does this not have more views? This is amazing.
Love You is very overlooked album. Great video, and thanks for taking a closer look at the some of the more forgotten Beach Boys albums.
I'm so very glad there is so many photos and video footage of Brian and the beach boys!! I adore Brian and his brothers and have grown so appreciative of their music because of how it affects me with it's sound and such upbeat vibes!
Wow Great video and topic! Wish more time was spent on Adult Child. So much mystery there, left largely unreleased for all these years. “Still I Dream of It” is one of his best.. Brian’s last great reach
thank you for this. love you is the last great, classic beach boys album. it is also my favorite album by anyone of the 70's. i have only heard bootlegs of the adult child sessions. i hope some day they are officially released. i wish someone at capitol in the 60's had had the foresight to say let's release pet sounds as a brian solo project and that someone had the foresight in the 70's at reprise to also release love you and adult child as brian solo albums. this way their critical merits would be appraised without the record companies' potential commercial aspirations taken into account.
You know The Beach Boys are good music when The Blues Brothers go on a mission from God to get them band back together too. From 11:43 all is right in the world again.
Brian didn't just write and produce albums, he lived them for better or worse, he didn't just make them up!
An excellent video essay. Thank you.
It’s funny to see them all playing Fender instruments with Fender amps and Fender spring reverbs, with their striped collar shirts and combed hair. It’s so California
Great job on this! I can tell you care for him as much as I do!👏👏👏
I'm so glad you came back Brian we love you're music 🎼🎵🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁
Really good, I'm going hunting for these 3 on vinyl right now! Well done, great video.
This needs more views!
Very cool. Thanks for the video. I had forgotten this period of Brian's songwriting.
One of the best doc's i've seen. Well done sir!
Thank you!
Great Great video. One of the best video about Brother Brian (failed) redemption...
6:48 notice how well spoken Brian was in 1976… Gene Landy ended up damaging his brain
My understanding is that slurred speech is a side effect of the medication he uses
In my opinion, the greatest beach boys works every made. 15 big ones and love you surprise me each and every time i listen to them. the most brilliant albums brian wilson every created. have you checked out the other bootlegs of that era? i think youd love em.
Yes, I really hope that we eventually get some of those bootlegs in high quality official releases.
Brian is one of the greatest musicians of all time
Love You is part of the reason 1977 is the 2nd most pivotal yr in rock history (66 being 1st). Beach Boys + Ramones = 2 best/ most substantial groups th' world will ever know.
Iggy Pop - The Idiot/Lust for Life
David Bowie - Low/"Heroes"
Harry Nilsson - Knilsson
Fela Kuti & Africa 70 - Zombie
Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby
Sparks - Introducing
Ultravox - S/T
Earth, Wind & Fire - All 'n' All
Talking Heads - Talking Heads '77
Brian Eno - Before and After Science
Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue
Blondie - Plastic Letters
Suicide - S/T
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express
Donna Summer - I Remember Yesterday
The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus
Michael Rother - Flammende Herzen
Yes - Going for the One
Ofege - Higher Plane Breeze
Dead Boys - Young, Loud & Snotty
Giorgio Moroder - From Here to Eternity
Pink Floyd - Animals
Peter Hammill - Over
BLO - Phase IV
John Martyn - One World
Bob Marley - Exodus
Either one of them is a good candidate for greatest American Band in my book
@@iwritechecksatthegrocerystore Yep
@@somebraveapollo8211what a year for some real landmark music releaaes. I mean, goddamn man!
I would say his voice was making a come back in 1977 - his vocal work on MIU (despite the album being quite shitty) is quite good. His voice was good enough even on Love You (see the pre-chorus on Airplane) when he wanted it to be.
It is pretty amazing how his voice changes back and forth in such short periods of time.
@@EdutainmentEd I think a good portion of it is conscious stylistic decisions for himself. Partially to accommodate his changed voice to be sure
In my humble opinion, The Beach Boys Love You kicks the shit out of anything Brian did in the 60s
awesome work here. great insight to an overlooked period
those are 3 solid albums - i dont care what anyone says. with Love You obviously being the stand out.
10:07.... Mike Love looks like (from behind and the way he's moving) if Mick Jagger had raided Elton John's closet before a show. hahahaha
I actually kinda dig the grand wizard showman era of Mike haha
A tortured individual, the perfect example of the fine line between genius and madness
Brilliant and imperative
Well researched.
Excellent narrative.
This was great! Thank you for making this!
i loved this, great video, thank you! Brian loves you!
Super underrated channel dude, definitely subscribing!
Thank you, it really means a lot!
wow, this is great! i really appreciate you dispelling a lot of the myths and urban legends that have been spread around in the wake of jeffrey stillwell’s videos. misinformation like that is imo really harmful to brian’s legacy. i can tell you put a ton of research into this though!!
Fabulous piece. Thanks.
I have the adult child and Brian loves you bootlegs on vinyl. The Brian loves you album is full of demos of the BBs love you tracks.
excellent video. thank you for the great insights into this era, you filled in a lot of the gaps in my knowledge.
I have followed the band from the early years and I didn’t think they could better their performances BUT what did I know ...
Fascinating video! Thank you
I love you Brian!
I resumed this video with my headphones slightly too loud at the "height" of Brian's back and got my eardrums blasted so bad I felt it in my tongue and teeth
Good work and we need more! Thanks for the video
Love You will Forever be THE last great BB l.p• 💯
Ahh, the days when Belushi was seen as the "more sober one".
Sir-------excellent work, & I commend you. As a fan from the very start, I was deeply put off by both " 15 Big Ones " , & ' Love You" ; for me, they are not listenable. and, in seeing the band onstage [ yes, I was there at Anaheim} during '76,'77 & '78, the quality of the shows really disintegrated from who the were in the early to mid-70's. For me, those were golden years, '70---'75, with no BW to cloud the music. -------the '78 album is, I believe, one of their best, '79's is uneven, but has great stuff, & " Keepin The Summer alive", is again, very uneven, but it too, has great moments.------the saga of BW & DW, overshadowed the music , sad to say------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
it was an honor to see Brian onstage in the late '70's whether he distracted from the show or not. I agree that the "70-'75 was a golden period live but to see Brian was mind blowing for me. Both 15 BO"s and Love You have their moments but they're only for hard core fans like myself
Y'know Brian contributed a lot, at least more than most credit him for, to 'Sunflower' and 'Surf's Up'.
@@somebraveapollo8211 especially on Sunflower. Brian and Mike wrote a good chunk of the album. But for the most part, they all put in work. Definitely an "all hands on deck" effort.
Looking forward to more content like this
Amazing work
His voice actually got smoother immediately after the initial Brian's back push, because the band went to Fairfield Iowa to record after Adult Child, and they were all sequestered from drugs. That didn't last though.
Dan Akryod has the most unique voice ever
Really awesome.Thank you.
Good documentary. Well put together. The love you album was good on the whole.
Just to add that i have just made a video in Defence of Mike Love on here, as some folks seem to give him a hard time, the audio is from a man called 'Bruce Murray' of the Mike Love appreciation society of Australia!!!
*To see it just type in search bar above the following title* .....'In defence of Mike Love part 2'
thank u so much for this video
Great video!
Thank you! I love your videos!
Wow bald Mike looking cool with a nice cap on his bald head
damm wtf how does this dude have 5 subs, this shits good
Probably because he's done four videos in two years.
That was really well done...kudos!
Smile failed in large part because of pushback and the lack of imagination from Mike Love.
Learned a lot, excellent video.
Recognition for American Spring please! It's up there with any album from the Beach Boys in the 70's.
Yes! I was glad to see it on streaming for a couple days but it seems to have been taken off. Would love a box set by Omnivore Records or similar label.
Bri is the best. Us B's know Thank you, Brian
Great video
You should listen to Beached by Ricci Martin. It was produced by Carl, and while it's not that good, it really shows how much Carl's credit of "Mixdown Producer" really means.
also, should note that Brian's involvement in California Music was pretty much minimal. his credits can be boiled down to a few organ parts, and a production credit on Why Do Fools Fall In Love which I'm not sure is actually completely based in fact. That's before Gary Usher and Curt Boettcher were given the group name and Curt immediately turned it into a disco group, lol.
(not even going to get into the fact that Curt had changed his last name to Becher, that's an entire can of worms i'm not opening here)
I was surprised to hear Brian say that "Do It Again" was released in 1967...
I loved the video.
What's with the random microphone and volume changes? :v
Great video despite that
well done. thanks
Loves You is underrated.
Quite a few errors, opinions stated as if they were fact and out of context comments from interviews spliced in. Most songs by BW on MIU from the same period that was released. Contrary to the typical erroneous info in this video, Smile actually was released by BW as a solo artist in 2004 and the complete sessions from 1967 by The Beach Boys was released more recently.
With the exception Hey Little Tomboy, the MIU Album songs were recorded in late 1977, after Brian Wilson began another downward spiral. As for Smile, yes Brian did finish it and The Beach Boys released The Smile Sessions box set with a reconstruction, the album Smile by The Beach Boys was not and will never be completed.
Such a good video.
Good work!
good video.
Thank you!
I’m hoping someone can help me. I’m looking for a video similar to this that someone made about “the lost years” of Brian Wilson. It was 28 minutes and I can’t find it anywhere
can somebody please answer, what do the planets actually mean?
Just search the sky and you'll find it.
Genius.the beach boys the Best
1:18 mike love doesn’t even look young when you put your finger over his receding hairline
Brian did plenty of work between 67 and 76,
There's a theory that some people who become overweight later in life are fearful and adding the weight as protection.
Unlike the Beatles. Too bad besides of one Brian Wilson no body else were talented enough to become more innovative.
dennis wilson had absolutely potential to be on par with brian wilson tbh.
@@thedocak7532 I totally agree. And perhaps Carl if he stuck with his solo career a bit longer... I am really saddened that Dennis couldn't live a better life and at least live longer to sustain a more decent length of his solo career and catalog output..
I keep repeating his POB/Bamboo deluxe set.
Kindly disagree. Americana-inspired tracks Big Sur, Cottonfields and I Can Hear Music along with trippy era stuff like Feel Flows and All This is That show there was plenty of talent all around. They didn't lose talent as much as they lost direction.
Umm..."the work load became too much". Dude. That is simply a misrepresentation of what actually happened. There are literally chapters of books devoted to what happened with Brian and why he decided to leave the touring group....but mental health due to his Dad's pyhsical abuse as a child and verbal abuse as a young man is a big reason. And abusing drugs. I could go on. So to say the "work load" was too much is...kind of wrong and insulting
This is excellent. I wish it were 3 hours. BUT....your voice dubs in the 15th minute are terrible. Couldn't you clean up the distortion?
Where that performance of rock and roll music from?
July 3rd 1976 Anaheim California @Anaheim Stadium
It's from "The Beach Boys: It's OK" TV special, released on DVD as "The Beach Boys: Good Vibrations Tour" by Eagle Rock.
@@EdutainmentEd thanks so much!
Mike could play a bit of sax. He could thus probably read music and he’s in a 60’s guitar/piano based rock group. He should have had the discipline to at least learn some basic guitar chords so he could have tried his hand at writing the music to his own songs instead of complaining about the newer late 60’s drug culture direction of Brian and his artsy newer friends.
Yes, it's hip now to praise The Beach Boys Love You album, but I find much of it unlistenable, due to the way Brian ruined his voice - with smoking and cocaine. It's so sad to hear the deterioration. I'm much more impressed with his 1988 solo album - his voice is much better now, and the production is much fuller, where Love You sounds like a crude demo. It's unpopular to say anything good about the Landy years, but at least he got Brian off the hard drugs, got him to exercise and encouraged him to write songs again.
I don't think it is "hip" to like Love You. I never knew it was a "hip" thing when I got hooked on it. It has to do with music taste, that is all. If you are into new wave-synth punk-Berlin David Bowie type of music, then Love You is a masterpiece and it is amazing that it came out of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys... There is this whole side of the Beach Boys that connect with younger audiences, the DIY and low-fi movements. Where you "listen" to crude demos, for others it is a whole aesthetic. So, objectively, the album is as modern and vanguard seeking as Pet Sounds. Low from David Bowie, and Love You, were recorded during the same time and released just 3 months apart. On the other hand, if you are into the typical Beach Boys stuff with the great harmonies and Brian's falsetto obsession, then you will loathe Love You. Again, it is a matter of taste. About Landy, I agree he did help a lot, but he also abused him terribly. So it becomes a moral debate that I think most people have a hard time entertaining.
And that's what I mean by "hip".
@@ronfowlermusic Is a music preference "hip"? I don't think so. You've been around too many hipsters who like things to be "hip" and not because they objectively like them... no matter the hype.
@@dignafelicisima i typed a long response and it didn't post, so I'll just say I don't care about hip, not at all. What IS hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know.
@@ronfowlermusic Tower of Power knows
What song is playing at 7:50?
A 1975 recording of Brian singing "In the Back of My Mind" from the No Pier Pressure Target release
What's the song at 7:29?
In the Back of My Mind. It was released on the Target edition of No Pier Pressure but the demo was recorded in the 1975.
“I don’t like Mike Love. Not at all.”
😂
