That's a weird and cool video.  Weird that this stalker was adamant about filming them walk off the plane and into the station...but cool because we get to see the band traveling as a band. 

Why did that one guy get grabbed by the security guard and practically thrown out of the way?

He kept him from walking accross Brian's way, just like I would have done. Who's Brian's assistant anyway?

Wow the guy following them seems like an idiot.

The guy next to Mike Love that yelled at the camera was Tim Bonhomme.

Pretty rude to keep filming after they were asked not to.

What does BRI pay it's security with, Big Macs?

The paparazzo-type people are generally scumbags. watch an episode of that tmz show and you'll understand. they make money stalking then harassing celebrities and selling their photos to gossip rags. the kind of people you should be able to use a taser on.

i love how the beach boys have hired the rounded people possible to block brian from the camera's view. :40 seconds in.

Afaik, that guy is not really security, just a member of the stage crew.
It was quite an uncomfortable video to watch.

Well, you know I hate to be a downer...but the sleezeball paparazzi guy was right - it is a public place. Not that I'd want to have a camera shoved in my face, but these guys are still celebrities and that's all part of it. It's not like the guy was harassing them for autographs or asking them inane questions.

Notice they kept a respectful distance from Bruce. No one likes a pistol whippin'.

I'm impressed that they take the train and seem to do it with minimal staff.  You think of rock stars and limousines and people falling all over to cater to their needs.  The video of Brian walking was disturbing as he seemed to struggle with 30 steps.

Well he'd probably tell them to f*** off and turn it into some nonsensical political rant. Bruce H. Johnston is one weird dude.

he deleted my comment :(

He seems more like a bit of a dick, imo

yeah I just can't get over a grown ass man following the guys around with a camera, and then continuing after he's asked to stop. Dick is a good word for that. Loser also comes to mind.

Brian's always wearing jogging pants. Sorry, just a random observation.

Not cool.

hey they may not be considered fashionable, but they're very comfortable.

It's a pretty luxurious train and they are sitting in the VIP section and probably have cars waiting..

It is interesting to see Brian taking a rest right after getting off a train ride. Maybe he was told to

Brian seems to have difficulty walking. He's shuffling along, taking very small steps. He seems frail. Is it arthritis?

He's 70, somewhat overweight and has had a (well-publicised) back problem for several years. Not arcane info.

Another new Beach Boys album seems likely(whether it's some of the 16 outtakes from "That's Why God Made The Radio", or all all-new effort) and there would likely be some tour dates to promote it, but after that, Melinda & the other people surrounding Brian should finally let Brian go back to being a studio-only artist. For Brian's handlers, he's the goose who lays golden records, but it wouldn't be good for Brian's career to conclude as a touring performer singing from a wheelchair.

We don't really know, do we?

He has walked with some difficulty for years. Perhaps it's disc hernia and he needs back surgery.

That leer Mike gives the cameraman from the escalator is badass beyond words.

I posted a comment also, and it was deleted.  Not only that, he blocked me completely from posting comments to it.  Typical low-life paparazzi.

From cabinessence.net:

"I can tell you the day the Beach Boys will no longer exist--never. We'll be on stage in wheelchairs."
