Love told Radio 4: “He (Wilson) knows that he needs the help but we’re still able to get together and we‘re going to see each other soon.
"It’s not so negative as it sounds. As long as he’s cared for properly. He’s seeing his children… he’s being well taken care of.”
Bruce Johnston, another Beach Boys member, said he felt the documentary was like "a new beginning".
He added: "I think once Brian and Mike sit round the piano and just the magic, you can’t stop it”.
Love said they hadn’t had a chance to collaborate yet but “it’s a brand new day now and I’m hoping we can do something together - all of us - and it’ll be great”.

Cringe. 😬

RIP
…But any chance of a re-do of the C50 Live album without autotune now? 😁

I don’t think I have read much to indicate ‘Endless Harmony’ being knocked off its perch as the definitive Beach Boys documentary to be honest.

Yes a missed step for sure. 2013 could have been built around a ‘Beach Boys Present Pet Sounds Live’ tour similar to Brian and Al’s 2016 tour.

I’m paraphrasing here, but Brian was pretty adamant in ‘his book’, not the Landy one, that he just didn’t want to be ‘in a room’ writing songs the way he used to. It was not how he wrote songs nowadays. I think that went for anybody, not just Mike.
I don’t have my copy close by but someone can find the section I’m sure. It’s the 2011-2012 timeline from memory.

Thanks GF. Sounds more like it. 👍

I'm a big space nerd…

Snap! Between this and The Beach Boys, we’re 60s tragics obviously. 👍

Was quite a story on this board at the time.

Al bailed first post on page 8. He even had it on his site that he would be there. Further in the thread it is indicated Al was put out that the invitation to perform had come from Live Nation, not Mike, so he cancelled.

Could get messy.

Of course Jones Beach might be totally unrelated to this case.

Does anyone remember the appearance with Mike promoted years back that never happened? This looks related.

Edit: This show Jones Beach.

I would not be surprised if the documentary concentrates on the same period as the book. Up to 1980. There is the Paradise Cove gathering but I expect little about 81-12 aside from the passing of Dennis and Carl, Kokomo and the C50.

Eating! 
No change there then. He’s doing ok all things considered.

Have a read of the OP comment under the Peter Jackson reference.

I must admit... unfortunately... i have been untruthful. This indeed Is This AI?

A good read done prior to Melinda’s death and Brian’s health update.

Actually the BW version of this was on ‘The Bear’ recently. Last episode season2 from memory.

I will always hope Brian enjoyed touring in his later years. This mischievous picture gave me hope. Calgary 2012 I believe.

All the very best to Brian and his family as he faces yet another challenge in a lifetime of challenges with many success’s. He appears to have love and support around him and I think finally the ‘Heroes’ have far outnumbered the ‘Villains’.
Thank you for everything you have given us.
Love and Mercy

This was all before the internet of course, but my memory initially ‘Great!’, Landy is back on the case and will get Brian on track. Of course (I can’t remember the timeline), stories started to appear about him taking advantage. The one that I remember was Landy moving into Brian’s house and Brian living in a rental. That was before reports of the drugs Landy was giving him. Mike also appeared on A Current Affair breaking down over the situation. https://youtu.be/XGY9TV6N3RI?si=MEtn3qW5HStJ-wn-
 It is so long ago now but they are some of the basics I remember.

So sad for Brian and the whole family. Actually quite stunned and wondering if it’s somehow why she has had a pretty low profile since 2012.
Love And Mercy to all.
Edit: Actually she was very present during the L&M movie release of course, but I don’t remember her much after, if any public appearances.

Well he would remain on the sexual offenders registry for life I believe.
Hey, as long as the organisers and attendees are ok with it I guess that’s their business. The venue might be concerned if he is there in person?
The incident happened on a Brian Wilson Tour. Brian and The Beach Boys name still being associated with the guy leaves a bad taste tbh.

Scott lives in the UK.

Seriously? Unless he is a UK citizen I’m not sure how that happened.
I think he should be distanced from anything Beach Boys/ Brian Wilson at this point personally.

Event getting a mention on the Endless Harmony Board under the title BB Ultimate Get Together. I’m not a member but perhaps someone could query, correct. Bit surprised given his…history.

Gee…I wonder why that would be. 💉💊🥃 😴 🚬
 

Remember it very well. Radio news headline ‘Beach Boys Member Dead’ and waiting for the story thinking Brian had left us. Shocked it was Dennis but remember this was pre-internet. Stories were often weeks old and infrequent for the band. Sometime earlier (weeks? months?) I had read about Dennis being fired from the group but it was only after his death we found out about his last months in the Marina/ Santa Monica area.
Anyway, thinking of him today and of his friends, family and fans. 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️🏄🌊
