He wasn’t too far gone to sing at this time. He did sing lead live vocals in ‘79-80 and sounded pretty good at the time.

This performance is really something special...the entire band as we knew it, including Brian. Losing Dennis was a huge shock but the passing of Carl was basically the end. The Beach Boys without Carl is NOT the Beach Boys. Carl was really the heart and soul of the band. Anyway, the album version of Good Vibrations is basically three minutes thirty-five seconds of pure bliss and perfection. I think Brian called it a mini-symphony. Something like that only happens once in a lifetime and it's complete perfection. Thanks for posting this video! It was absolutely wonderful watching all the guys together again.

Brian always hated when Mike hams up the songs when they play live. Mike likes to draw attention to himself by finger pointing and hand gesturing, just pisses Brian off.

"Rather"? Brian was anywhere on Earth but here. His brain was gone in the late 70s... Mike probably did forced him to do this because Brian only worked that way at this period.
