Title: Some Brian Footage that I Found Today (with Elvis Costello) Post by: ForHerCryingSoul on January 30, 2021, 04:38:54 PM Here is this big ol dump of Brian Wilson footage for a documentary. Does anyone know what this is from or what this is for? In the meantime, enjoy an almost movie length trove of Brianisms.

Seems to date from a time right before Brian released Imagination which would be June 1998. Many Brianisms, yes, but it's amazing how much better Brian was doing in that period compared to ~3 years earlier in that interview from the Soul Searchin' era sessions... when he was a mess of tics, spasms and general turmoil. All the credit in the world to Melinda and his doctors for getting him into a much better place between '95 and '98.

You saw the real Brian come out

This is a good find; even the few minutes that had been on the DVD were interesting and at times, revealing, including, for example, Brian talking about Imagination in terms of wanting a "hit" and then Costello asking, "but what do you think of the album as music?"
Thanks for the heads-up on this. |
