I can't seem to find the performances of Brian on Leno doing H&V, Good Vibes, and GRYMG anymore, unless I missed it. I saw them earlier in the week.

I think they expire after a certain amount of time. I haven't uploaded anything so I don't really know.

Hey - cool!  I've never seen that before.  It's haunting - and the few close-ups of Brian, especially the one on the church where the camera hits each man indivually, is especially dark.  Who directed this? 

Thanks for the link, Rocker.

Does anybody know how to download or otherwise save YouTube links?  It takes forever for them to load in [dialup....i know...] and i'd like to be able to save things like this.  Any help would be appreciated.

This site: http://www.hiphopmusic.com/best_of_youtube/2006/02/how_to_download_and_save_youtu.html  explains how to download and convert the video's. It's a bit of work, but worth it, I guess.

Yikes.  I was hoping for something a lot less involved than that.  Guess i'll go without.  Thanks, tho - i appreciate you pointing me in the right direction!

Maybe this: http://javimoya.com/blog/download-videos  is an easier solution ? I haven't given it a try tho, haven't heard any complaints either.  If there's something, not loads, that you realy "need" I'm willing to help ofcourse.

Quite amazing indeed. Except for the different hair, BW almost exactly resembles the picture on the back of the Holland LP in that close-up.

I've lived this long without it, i guess i don't *need* to have the videos.  If they were all collected together on one DVD, of course, that would be the perfect solution for me.

I think what i like best about the California Dreaming video is how very cool, and naturally so, Al looks.

Very boring music video, in my opinion. Not much happening, just everyone trying to be showy and cool.

I like the Getcha Back video better!

Quite ugly, I know. But it's one of the last times, if not the last, Brian and Carl were on stage together.

all in all, they look really good!

Carl's vocal might be live on "Mess" but I'd say it's all lipsynched. Seeing Carl attempt the slide guitar part without the slide seemed a bit odd. Also strange is how Dennis doesn't appear on camera until near the end, although I love how he cups his ear in classic Dennis fashion to "fake" the backing vocal.

my exact thought! i remember i was about to post that denny was missing, then he popped up. It was good to see him, but it wasnt enough. I saw the ear thing too

It is rare; I've never seen it. Thanks for sharing it!

Is this the "official" video for "Mess Of Help"? I have a videotape (very poor quality) of The Beach Boys doing "Mess Of Help", it's black and white I believe; but it's more of a staged video than a live/concert performance of the song. Anybody know the video I'm referring to?

the AB interview, brian seems a little uptight

It's really interesting to see the dynamic (or lack thereof) of the band that early in their career. Also, since there is so little in the way of TV interviews from the 60s, its noteworthy that much of the quirky behavior people find alarming in Brian today is on display in 1964.

I went to some of the links I saved of Brian on Leno clips and I got this messege:

"This video has been removed due to copyright infringement." Looks like someone got 'em, heh

Ya knaw, there is something still to be said about this Internet. Copyright Infringement?
What is the primary function of YouTube supposed to be?
Personally, i dig the concept!!! I haven't seen the Getcha Back Video in a thousand years...I loved it, kind of.

I was looking for brian's mock video for Don't Worry Baby from '85?
I originally saw it on Deja View...anyone remember this one?
It really did something to me then...it brought back the relavence of Brian to me.

Anyway...the Internet is controlled anarchy...let's keep the freedom of exchange alive!!!!
 come on now, the BB 25th aniversary really isn't even officially released yet, right?

I doubt royalties for It's Gettin Late Vid are really in question!!!, ha ha.
LET'S STOP ACCEPTING CORPORATE FEDERAL GOVERNANCE REGULATIONS....
LET THE WIND BLOW!!!!
