Has anybody ever seen this footage?

[Don't Back Down]

I've been looking at all these Beach Boys videos on YouTube for the past few days now, some great stuff here. I think the ShinDig footage has been my favorite that with Wendy, When I Grow Up, and the Brian footage on Leno promoting SMiLE and WIRWFC. Those were some really great performances of "H&V" and "GV" on Leno.

Brian's hand motions/actions are just as bad as Mike Love's

Well, where do you think Brian learned that crap in the first place!?!

He picked it up from the Lovester, that's who.

Haha I was JUST watching that a second ago.

He's doing the tambourine parts without one and laughing about it as well.

Mike looks like he was zapped right out of 1860.

They look stoned out of their heads in that video. No wonder noone took them seriously, it was the worst lip syched performence of all-time! And some people here actually think they would have continued fine without Brians music. Haha not. They also match this performence with Do It Again on a different youtube clip.

I like that clip very much. They look cool, the only thing I don't like very much is Al's and Mike's moving at the beginning, then looking to someone off-camera and stop doing the movings, as if they were told not to do.

They had to be the least cool group ever - bald, fat, short, strange shaped heads, they had everything, including the worst miming drummer on the planet!

I think the Wilsons look really groovy, though. Carl and Dennis had great hair in '64 and '65. Brian's didn't look fantastic until around Pet Sounds and SMiLE, but then he was The Coolness.
