Perhaps already some old posts about this.  I own the DVD haven’t watched for a long time.  I saw it was available, and purchased it from Apple TV tonight

So I remember being exited to watch this, was recorded I think in December 2014, and then think I watched the day it aired on PBS in April 2015.

Anyway So now 10 years later, it was available, and just watched tonight.  WOW.  That was an awesome show, it really holds up, maybe even better than I remember it being in Real time 10 years ago.  If anyone hasn’t watched it or has time to watch it for first time or again. It is worth a revisit and view.  I was not expecting to be so moved when watching it.  Perhaps in part due to Brian passing and now see it in a new light.  Not sure, but really think it was just very well done and such a unique and cool song/ setlist unlike almost any other pro video concerts I’ve seen of top of my head with Brian and or Beach Boys.  Of Course they were promoting No Pier Pressure, but looking back at video 10 years on those songs and concert hold up so well.  Also I loved seeing and hearing Ricky,  Blondie,  along with amazing lead vocal from Nate Ruess of Hold on Dear Brother, he also did great version of Darlin and Saturday Night from the No Pier Pressure album.

So would be interested to hear if anyone else has watched this recently and agree or disagree that this was awesome and even better 10 years later than I remember it being then.

I agree 110%, it was awesome! No Pier Pressure, as an album, is all over the place, but the concert is fantastic. In that context, even the collaborations worked!
Among the many highlights, my personal fav is seeing Blondie and Ricky again.
I agree also that this concert has aged like fine wine.
Imho it's one of the high points in Brian's solo career, which by the way is not near so terrible as some depict it.

Thanks for letting us know that this is available. Looking forward to it.
I really enjoyed his show in Biloxi in 2015.
