Someone help me find the connection to POB here...

Well, lets see.  Its a promotion film done fairly well of Dennis Wilson mostly featuring his solo works of Pacific Ocean Blue.  Could it be any more related?!?  He states to go to Amazon.com.  Its right on the main page for the album, not hard to find.   Is that enough help?

Woah, settle down there. I actually got confused at first cause I clicked on Anders website and thought that he was talking about a video from his site cause he actually doesn't state to go to Amazon, he just says that he found it on Amazon. He could've reposted it at his site somehow? Anyway, here is the link for anyone who can't find it:

great work (again) to all involved.

I am speechless. I can't tell you how often I have seen reissues hastily put together which had me pulling my hair out. It is amazing what can be done with a whole bunch of love and dedication.

Dennis, wherever your spirit may be, this is your day.

wow I wasn't ready  for how emotional watching that would be.....

Very cool !

But how much was James Taylor influenced by Dennis, as mentioned at the end? I know they starred in TLB but musically I never heard of Taylor being influenced very much by Denny.

BTW Taylor Hawkins sounds great on "Holy man"!

loved it! but marilyn? my heart wouldve sank with a brian interview :/

36 seconds in, that looks like a professionally-recorded Blondie/Ricky concert! I knew they existed! We gotta get whoever's sitting on that to release it to the public!

That's soundless footage from Ed Roach...just snippets throughout the set...not a whole concert...and no sound. He has that kind of stuff from quite a few shows. Some bits can be synced to existing audio...but again its snippets of footage...not entire songs. There's a lot of it in Endless Harmony.

Great promo film! Got me even more excited for June 17!! Now, I just have one question regarding the set. In terms of the initial 'deluxe' edition, will the expanded booklet/info be a part of the 3LP set or is it exclusive to the CD set. I am of course picking up the vinyl re-issue, but don't want to miss out on anything....could anyone help shed some light?

I hear ya...I totally wept like a baby about halfway through this video all the way to the end.  Had to rewind the "Holy Man" bit twice; I thought it was Dennis singing!  Very eerie but also I think Dennis would have loved it!

I clicked the link that was at the bottom of the original post...that's what got me confused.  No need for the sarcasm.

Bizarrrrreee.... i used to run the international licencing and trade mark protection division of the surfwear company Quiksilver and at 1.29 into that clip my trade mark protection radar went into alarm mode - there it was, Quik's Roxy trademark minus the mountains in the centre of the Roxy logo and with the word DENNIS written across it. Now that I've had a good look at the frame it is the Roxy logo but I see its been "appropriated" onto somebody's surfboard ..... nice ......... great to see surfin' roots still exist in Dennis's world.

I'm with you guys. I gotta stop watching this stuff; it is very sad and it's starting to depress me. I want to be in the right frame of mind so I can ENJOY the listening experience.

Is anyone else as baffled as I am that Amazon has POB listed at #9 in their Country chart?  :-\

There was a Country artist named Dennis Wilson that had some success a decade or so back...Amazon's database obviously hasn't sorted the difference between that DW and the REAL one.

:lol

Yep, he was backgroundvocalist on a lot of George Jones-sessions as far back as in the late 70s.

Oh Jesus, what a promo. The tears came as easily as the smiles, and there were plenty of both. Come June 16th, it'll be September 1977 all over again and I'll be sitting with a huge grin, utterly knocked out by something totally unexpected.

Oh, and those who questioned the participation of Taylor Hawkins ?  I knew "Holy Man" had no vocal recorded, and even then, I seriously thought it was Dennis.

When I heard that snippet in the promo, I serious thought "If that's Dennis singing, then this can't be Holy Man"... but it is! When the remark was made that Taylor and Dennis's voices sound quite similar, I certainly hadn't expected this to hear.

Now if only Brian May and Roger Taylor would/could sound like Brian and Carl....

This was a great promo, shows lots of sides of Dennis' music to a public that might not know of it. This promo hightens my excitement for this release-which is the most excited I've been for a BB release since Imagination back in '98. (Yes, I was excited for BWPS, but that was mixed with nerves, and I while already know that TLOS will be very good, the demos shortsighted my anticipation).

Just a word of boundless hope, I hope that this release does good business, hopefully that will open up the floodgates so that WIBNTLA will see release).

That promo film was truly excellent!

That was so sweet. Only 9 more days!!!!

yep - sat here scratching my head trying to work out what I was missing - no lyrics, song finished 30 years later - how/what the hell is Dennis singing?

sounds like a great song.

 ;D

Is there anyway I can download this clip?

What I did was go into Tools, Internet Options, Browsing History, Settings, View Files and there it was; I just highlighted and "copied" item to My Documents.  Hope that helps.  That may be a longwinded way of doing it.  Oh I have a FLV player also; just Google that; its free

If you have the latest version of RealPlayer (which is free), you can download almost any video.  When you watch a video, a little tab pops up in the corner and you just click it to download it!  Best free application ever!

Cheers Guys, I'll give that a try later...

 :3d if you grab the .flv file from your Internet cache, get the 700p.flv one. It is the larger one. ;) Worked perfectly for me.

I agree with all of you who mentioned how emotional this clip was/is. This isn't merely another reissue of an old album. It's like a resurrection. It's like the whole world is coming together to celebrate this wonderful man, and all this beautiful music he created. When his album came out, the "powers that be" were angry, and he wasn't allowed to tour. It feels like everybody is FINALLY doing right by Dennis. To bad it came to late though...

Great vid.....makes me wish there was an accompanying DVD with the reissue.
