Quite a thoughtful man in so many ways.

The world was a better place when Carl was in it.

There's only 1 brother left

@@stanzaloan3454 the most important one, the real genius behind the band

​@@justuntlsundown get lost

Actually, the best analogy for "the Hendrix or Clapton of the BBs" would be original member David Marks, a virtuoso axe player who was on their first 5 albums.

please don't compare carl to hendrix or clapton.

Even though the beach are my favorite band, Carl wasn't in Hendrix or Clapton's league, but he was JUST RIGHT for the Beach Boys.

​@@gittahfiendwell, he was good enough to play on Steely Dan's recordings.

The 1 surf group, in my opinion, that was in same class as The Beachboys was Jan & Dean. They were great until sadly The Dead Man's Curve accident.

I had seen it years ago, that documentary was made in 1985. Two years before Dennis wilson died in 1983 R.I.P.

​​@@johndoyle2429 think it was a typo. He died December 28,1983. Well duh, you said that it was made in 1985.😂😂😂

@@srldwg , My Mistake. I Was meant to say 1983 instead 1993. Computer phones can go funny sometimes when typing.

Another one was called The Beach Boys: An American Band, it was produced by Malcolm Leo, Andrew Solt, & Stephanie Bennett. They are wizards at doing Music Documentaries, they also did an unauthorized one on The Beatles, Girl Groups, and The Heroes Of Rock & Roll.

Lot changed with the beachboys since 1985. Well a small pit.

In my humble opinion, Dennis didn't sing that so well. But, if you have a dry eye after hearing, you have no heart! Heard it too many times, always needed a tissue. (or, a sleeve) steve

It breaks my heart every time i think about it

Mostly life isn’t fair.

Brian deserved more than being abused and berated by asswipe Mike Love.

And he was also the nicest looking of all.

​@@martyprice8288 Absolutely!!! 🔥

Around 1995, I'm alone at my Cotati, Sonoma pad.. Then a car appears at my driveway. My college roomate rode up from Santa Monica. He and a friend were helping to watch Brian Wilson 24/7.. In missing Sonoma, they brought Brian along.

Love that too

Beach boys were my first idols in early Seventies , i had as well Ennio Morricone Shadows Rubbetts Abba Cliff richards Claude François Stone et Charden... ALL 33 TOURS AS 45 rpm.. i had Le lundi au soleil Aimer avant de mourir 1976 's hits...😊 That was the good times of music

Same here. I first saw this documentary on VH1

I had my high school graduation in the same football field where a few members of The Beach Boys played for the football team.

Lovely!

I clearly remember renting this on VHS tape in 1989 when I was 17 and becoming absolutely obsessed with their music.

@@GeorgeCrocco I am from Germany. My father was a big Beach Boys fan when he was a teen in the 60's. He bought that VHS Tape in the 80's and I saw it in 1988 for the first time, when I was 15. I also became obsessed and listened to all the BB records in my fathers collection. It's still fascinating that this music was created without any digital equipment. I was the only Beach Boys fan in my school, and all the Guns'N Roses and AC/DC fans gave me a hard time.

Wolf sky?

Not just American music. Music worldwide was just brilliant in the 70s and early 80s. Here in Australia we had some fantasic musos. I count myself very blessed to have been in my teens at that time.

Uh, 60's AND 70's.

Most hits from 60’s , but ofc their music was heard on the 📻 in 70’s and early 80’s on classic stations

Some stations have classics playing on Saturday morning or at an odd time.

👍

Absolutely awesome!❤

I respect Mike Love a lot; just not on the same wavelength

He really, really was.

How do you know what badly love wrote were you there

@keithbradley1197 - Like most other people who (no, I literally was not there in Southern California when Brian Wilson and The Wrecking Crew recorded the backing tracks nor when The Beach Boys recorded their vocals over said tracks) were also not there, I happen to be fairly proficient at reading songwriting credits. And while I know that at times certain people have been given credit for things they did not actually write (this practice goes all the way back to the 1920’s at least, when authorship of the classic jazz piece Muskrat Ramble, credited to Kid Ory was disputed by none other than Louis Armstrong who claimed HE wrote that tune and Ory just named it), I tend to take both Mr. Love’s and (geepers) Mr. Wilson’s word for it as to what they wrote together. (Please STOP trolling me. THANK YOU.)

You mean like normal people

Fascinating stories, Steve!

i like that story, too. in fact, i like Kingston Trio's version as well. Beach Boys version was great because it was in their own style. I remember calling in to Chuck Brinkman on WTAE radio in Pittsburgh asking him to play the Beach Boys version. i was in college and should've been doing my homwork.

So do I. But they're with us always through their music.

Far better than The Beatles. 😊❤😎👍

Absolutely

Yes the Beach Boys had many more number 1 hits than the Beatles, and less people know about the Beatles. I don't think they were real

Not even close.

I agree with you about The Lonely Sea. It was a beautiful song. I have always wondered why it doesn't get more mentions.

when Carl was thinner and had no beard he looked alot like Dennis too.

Moon landing you reckon? 🤣

Wow! 😲

Interesting. Most all the video footage is 60’s and early 70’s.

Nothing to do with horrible 80's...its early 60's... The horrible 80's were HIV , END OF ELECTRIC GUITARS , ARRIVAL OF USELESS RAP....BEURK !

He retired from touring a few months ago, he was really out of it last tour tho so im glad he can rest

Yes, absolutely - he tours with his band every year!

@@smacreavy He does his own solo tours. Mainly in the U.S. I was lucky enough to have seen him in Co. Cork. Ireland. 2014. Maybe I'm wrong here, I thought read somewhere he doesn't get along with Mike love, like I said maybe I'm wrong and it's hard to know if that's true.

@@Vinyl_guy, saw him almost a year ago, here in Phoenix. A birthday present to me, and 3 good friends. 7 June 2022. The closing act was as good as Brian's band is. Chicago. My birthday, 4 June. (or, today) A double bucket list concert! steve

Thing is, he's not out of it. He may look like it and he may need help, but he enjoys being surrounded by that excellent band playing his music. There has been no official news that Brian won't tour anymore. He enjoys that environment whether it looks that way or not. Brian gave us all a lot of joy, and I hope he does whatever he feels like doing.
