Brian's concert is like going to musical heaven.

he looks so much happier in this song. usually brian looks like he doesn't want to be there

Brian is one of those rare geniuses that only come along once in a generation.

This is seriously one of the most amazing live performances ive seen in a while

one of the best beach boys songs ever, very under-rated

despite the absence of carl, al and dennis, absolute best version by miles. seeing brian smile so much during this performance, seeing his dream finally realised is truly heartwarming.

Brian Wilson never looks happier than performing music from SMiLE 😀

I am grateful that Brian Wilson is being honored at this point in his life, very deserving. He created this whole new sound that is recognizable by only hearing one note,one small harmony. Beautiful!

He looks so happy and that makes me so happy 🥹🥹🥹

I feel happy to see Brian's happy. This song is a jewel thanks Brian!

Still spine tingling after fifty years. Pure brilliance

It's so nice to see Brian smiling.

When music is crafted so beautifully as Brian has done, it can bring a tear to your eye and a tightness in your chest that tells you this is the real deal.

"Fell in love long ago with an innocent girl from the Spanish and Indian home of the heroes and villains." An incredible lyric. El mestizaje. Unlike the song "El Paso" by Marty Robbins, this girl wasn't a Latina femme fatal. She's the one who got shot and died, at the hands of these invaders in her land, the heroes and villains. Amazing little bit of storytelling. At least that's how this "girl" sees it. VanDyke Parks, home run.

The man is a perfectionist with a tremendous gift and a genuine sincerity that just wants to make people happy. What a gift he is to the world.

One of Brian's best of all time. Got very little play when it was released. The song has very intricate harmonies. Very few groups of today could even come close to sounding this great!!!

You can tell how much this song means to Brian, especially finally getting to perform it in its intended context.

The harmonization at the beginning was sooo beautiful!! Gave me goosebumps

Pure genius. Period

That was the best version of this song I have ever heard. Awesome.

This makes me so happy I could cry. I'll SMiLE instead ;)

I saw this concert live tripping my balls off. South Florida show, 2008 i believe 😂❤😂🎉 they opened with "wendy" sang a capella with jimbe drums.. the first set was all old school beach boys songs and we were literally glowing in the dark and and sweating bullets during the intermission, then they came back and played the smile suite in its beautiful entirely 😂❤😂😂😂🎉 I still have the $60 concert shirt and $40 tour booklet...

Saw "Love and & Mercy" last night. Was reminded of why the Smile album is one of my all-time favs! Thank you, Brian for sharing your talents and artistry.

Such harmony complexity can only come from a brain that can live in parallel universes. Genius!!!

Fantastico! Brian Wilson is up there with Bach n Beethoven! Musical magic.

At 2:15 is the sound of a tortured soul finally being released from Hell.

So pleased we have this! Brian was so kind and generous to create this orchestrated version, and, along with the amazing “Surf’s Up”, this is a treasure for all time. Blessings on you, Mr. Wilson.

Can you imagine trying to figure out how to play this live? Like arrange it? where would you start! I honestly bet they practiced this song for over a year before they got it right 👍

I’m literally writing a movie because of this song

Brian has made this a masterpiece 👏

This is such a great performance. Brian Wilson's Smile album is a masterpiece!

Brilliant. I miss his music.

I just had to comment on this..I have the Smile album and thinks its great but when you see a song like this being done live it just blows my mind. Make no mistake, Brian Wilson is one of the most talented musicians\composers ever to grace this earth. There is so much to be said within this song - The tune itself - positive, catchy, melodic, complicative but at the same time simplistic. The harmonies! - Just listen throughout it and you can hear so many people singing different parts...amazing

With the Beach Men this was a ball of confusion. Tho a beautiful piece striving to greatness. This version is what it should be-musical theatre with full voice and instrumentation.Even more poignant knowing how Wilson crawled back from oblivion to put his dream songs on stage and perform again. A Revelation from a master of American Pop Music.

Geez, so complex and incredibly beautiful 🙏♥️😎 Brian Wilson genius

wilson looks so happy here, he must feel a sense of fulfillment playing the smile songs

Brian is amazing! What truly outstanding complex harmonies and compositions!

This live performance of Brian Wilson's magnum opus is outstanding.

I saw them perform this in a small venue in the Uk , it made the hairs on back of my neck stand up at the beginning it was the most wonderful performance of any band I’ve seen ever quite magnificent as was the whole gig every note was perfect brilliant 👏👏👏

This should have 1 billion views

Incredible song . Love the lyrics , Harmonies are incredible ! Brian Wilson one of the greatest writers , & arrangers of the Rock N Roll era . 🙋‍♂️🏖

Brian, this is like watching a play! It should be the story line of a play!💌 it's so Good.

Gives me chills.

Genius. There is no other word for him.

Every time I hear a Brian Wilson song it brings a smile to my face. That's 62 years of smiles (my age). 😃

What a great rebirth of these songs. They deserve every credit that there is.

he is so precious. a true national treasure!

Thank you, Brian. You’ve been so brave for so long and have made the whole world smile. It’s great to see you finally SMiLE again.The whole world loves you.

Brian was in his generation the Greatest Composer of Rock & Roll...

Brian sounds great along with a great song and band!

Gorgeous live version.

This entire concert is a masterpiece I wish I could have been there.

“Our Prayer” will forever give me chills.

Spectacularly beautiful

Brian at his best. With a brilliant backing band. Very uplifting...

This is one of the most different, and amazing songs, arrangements in the history of rock and roll.... I think only good vibrations, and MacArthur's park come close to it... Most rock, pop bands never came up with anything close to this.... Thank you Brain for all the great music... Check out, good by to the class of 74.. It's my epic song... 21 songs i wrote on you tube.....

So wonderful to see Brian happy and doing his magical stuff

I've said it before but I'm saying it again. Complete & utter genius. Brian Wilson you are incredible. Thank you

No words. Just amazing. Plus The Wondermints!!!

The whole performance is fantastic, Brian, the Band it emanates such a joy to perform this song its very touching and very catchy at the same time The joy spreads to all those who watch this video

I saw him in Philly. I’ve never felt like I was in the presence of total genius like that before. Profound.

What an incredible group of musicians to go with Mr. Wilson. Love and talent are just spilling out.

BRIANS VOICE DOES NOT COMPARE TO HIS 1966 VOICE BUT HIS VOICE IN THIS PERFORMANCE MAKES THIS SONG COME ALIVE.

We, the world, love you, Brian. Thank you for letting us listen to your beautiful soul.

After years and years I finally stopped searching for perfection. Peace at least

The masters of harmony .......

i really hope, brian. you feel the love we have for you . thank you for pet sounds and all of your music i miss carl and denny i really care for you!

this project is literally a miracle.. i still cant believe how it all came together and i will always now prefer the brian version because of how personal the project is for him.

What an album this "would have been" 1967 !!!

it's so funny I have Pet Sounds in my car listen to it all the time. I guess I'm trying to go back to my high school days

I can't even come up with words to describe how beautiful this version is. I must have listened to it well over a hundred times and I don't get tired of listening to it. I'm a little bummed the ending got clipped.

God bless Brian Wilson. Sadly I'm only now getting into his genius and significance when it comes to the greatest musical minds of the 20th century, and I'm almost 30. Just an amazing musical mind and doesn't get his just due in my opinion in comparison to his British counterparts the Beatles. Especially since he wrote and produced all The Beach Boys songs by himself.

Loved this song for years and never would have believed it could be pulled off live. Bravo!

What a wonderful live performance, just amazing

I searched for this video in order to share it with a friend.. and ended up watching the whole thing again because it still blows my mind.. looking at what's on stage gives you just an inkling of the scale of what Brian was trying to accomplish in the studio back in 1966-67.

so great to see brian wilson's smile like that, looks just like how happy he looked when performing in the earliest days, only devoid of the fear and nervousness in his eyes this guy is the man one hundred percent

He's like a little kid enjoying life. Marvelous.

Amazing harmonies with the Wondermints on our prayer. The Heroes and Villains performance here is so very good, very, very cool.

Got to see Brian at the Byron Blues festival a few years ago and he and the band were fabulous

I love the original but this right here is perfected art! this version can not get any better! Pure Genius

Sadness becomes happiness then happiness becomes sadness. That’s what life is. brilliant ❤

This ranks up with the great operas. So pleasing, so complex, so many parts. Thanks, Brian!

June 7 2022, in Phoenix Az. Already have four tickets. Brian STILL has it! steve

This is beautiful. It’s perfect. The harmonies are way beyond anything I’ve heard of late. Thank you!

Great song, great performance, incredible arrangements!

This is a Wickedly Haunting and Awesome song Gordon 🎵 Lightfoot !!

Once again bringing me comfort in a trying time. Thank you Brian Wilson.

This song is musical genius thanks Brian 💜

I appreciate this very much! Thank you Mr.Brian Wilson. I only just two days ago discovered this lovely beautiful, musical album ride. The more times i listen to it, the more I love I have for it. Bless you and yours always Sir!.

Whoever disliked this was a villain

im 79 so been a fan for some time this man walks on water for me and it's not been easy for him to give his all and he did and more bless brian a fan

Brian Wilson -- what a dude'll do - make Beautiful Music!

He sounds great in this recording.

Fantastic song and performance!

I always loved this song. ❤ this is a great rendition

Brian your are just absolute magic, incredible. Thank you

Outstanding band and re- creation!

Brian is a genius, but he worked really hard when he was young, studying and learning vocal harmonies in class and on his own and and studying vocal arrangements from groups like the Four Freshmen. He wasn't an accident.

Brian you are amazing. I love you and would have done anything to be in your orchestra.

This whole piece is amazing..but 6:27 - 6:45 really gives me chills.
