Rare stuff indeed. Dennis comes off as such a likable, really engaging guy. He's actually having a thoughtful conversation with the guy, asking him questions too, you just don't ever see this with people who have lived through the biggest kind of fame for years and years. They're usually pretty jaded, understandably. Dennis was a cool dude, Californian through-and-through, a genuine wasted beach bum. He also had the Wilson genius gene for sure.

In such a short interview you get a sense of what a sensitive, intelligent and kind hearted soul was Dennis Wilson. No way he’s faking that this guy was the genuine article. Underrated as a drummer too. His feel was fantastic. The Boys were always way better with him behind the kit even though they obviously hired pros when he wasn’t available

@ericdreizen1463 6 ай бұрын

I knew a drummer who toured w/ him & he said he was full of himself but that side of him isn't on display here. The public never heard from Dennis much, just saw pics of him surfing & carrying on. This shows he was a much more serious artist, played other instruments too. And played a bigger role in the band than was believed. I remember feeling bad when I saw the LA Times headline that he had drowned.

This is awesome! A rare beardless (some stubble) 1977 Dennis Wilson. I always thought it was around this time where he starts to age rapidly, but he still looks very good here. I guess by 1979/80 is when things start to go downhill fast. An immense talent who unfortunately couldn't escape the drugs and alcohol. He is still sorely missed.

@chrisfreeman9960 Жыл бұрын

Yes, I feel the same. Such a vital, interesting, and really engaged person. It's nice to see this interview with Dennis. They always seem so few, when you can find them. And appearance-wise, he seems pretty healthy, as well. It seems like, seeing the available photos of him, there are the ones where he is young and healthy, from an earlier period with the Beach Boys, where his hair is either bleach blond or natural. Then you see the ones of him later on, where his hair is sort of straggly, and his beard is long and untrimmed. I don't particularly like looking at him in those latter-day pictures (although I know he had alcohol, and drug issues at the time, so my heart goes out to him. I should say went out to him, as I know he has passed). But this is a nice interview with him, when he seemed alright. Appreciate the interview. I'm thinking it must have gone on longer. If more footage from it could be seen, what would be great.

@@toastertwo1602 I have never seen Dennis beardless in 1978 or 79, but in pictures he does look ragged starting in 79. He was bearded for most of 1977 and on the POB album he looked older with the big beard. But here after the POB he still looks like the old Dennis of the 60's and early 70's.

@chrisfreeman9960 Жыл бұрын

@@westy40 I think one of the best pictures of Dennis was on the inside fold out album "Sunflower", from 1970. He looked very healthy there. Clean-shaven, hair longer than he'd had it in the '60's, but nicely styled. Apparently there was an interval where he'd had a very full beard, when he did P.O.B., then shaved the beard sometime before this interview. He still looked good there, clean-shaven and hair attractively-styled seven years after the "Sunflower" picture shoot. But his deterioration was obvious, from either the late '70's, or definitely 1980. He lost his original voice, due to excessive drugs and alcohol, consumption, and it became a sort of rough growl. When he sang, he began to sound like Joe Cocker. Add to that his scraggly hair and long, untrimmed beard, and the behavior he was beginning to exhibit in public, and he was a far cry from the attractive Dennis of the '60's into the '70's. But thank you for including this interview with Dennis. It showed how he was before the fall.

In '76, at Mile-High Stadium in Denver, I met------albeit for maybe 3-4 minutes, Carl Wilson. I was granted backstage access, & because he was my favorite member of the group, it was a real honor to meet him. As i was there, I saw Dennis , with Karen Lamm-Wilson. My impression, standing maybe 10--12 feel away for the 20 minutes i was there, was that i was watching THE Dude of Dudes ! The easiest way to say it is, it was just not possible to take my eyes off of him. He wasn't that tall : 5'10" , but he had a truly magnetic presence I've seen only one other time in my 76 years. That, was in getting to know Marvin Gaye on the basketball court in LA, from '70 to the late summer of '73. He too, was a guy you just couldn't take your eyes off of. Both were handsome, though in differing ways, but with DW, there was just an incredible aura with him. and the only way to say it is really, he was THE Dude !! Whatever that " it " thing may be, he had it & then some, & he & everyone else, knew it. -------For whatever reasons, he never did perform as a solo artist, which is a shame. I suspect the booze & drugs played a role there, but it really is a shame. -------In '83, when I saw the group 2 times, he looked so bad------he was barely recognizable , & it just made me so sad. -------MJL, 76 y/o

For instance, at a show in Perth, Carl collapsed on stage while high on heroin and had to apologize on the news the day after though he blamed it on a bad mixture of Valium and Mai Tais. He can also be seen and heard in the footage from some of those shows during that tour slurring his words and generally just high and out of it. Brian and Dennis were also doing heroin and cocaine on that tour and Carl actually got punched in the face by Brian’s bodyguard, rocky pamplin, for giving Dennis $15,000 for cocaine for which he in turn did with Brian. Dennis also got in trouble for that same incident and the other Beach Boys were considering kicking him out of the band and replacing him for the rest of the tour, though they never did and Dennis didn’t even know they were thinking about it. All in all though, Carl’s behavior was the worst, since he was usually seen as the most put together Wilson brother who could keep his behavior in check. But, during that tour, his drug and alcohol use was so bad that surprisingly Dennis was the most coherent Wilson brother for many shows.

Dennis was so natural, such a shame that his life was made hell by his cousin Mike Love who hated him .
