God Bless you Brian, universally loved by everyone! RIP

I think this was Brian's first live performance or at least one of his first live performances in St charles. Matt Jardine was there as well as was Bruce Johnston for backup vocals. I remember the show very well though I thought he lip synced it at points or he was singing along with music and recorded vocals in the background. I could be wrong about that

I actually thought the AI version of Dessert Drive sounded pretty good, the Mike and Al sound a likes were pretty much on target for how they would've sounded on it, IMHO.

I've heard Crumple Car already, that's not a new song per say, it's been around for at least 20+ years, maybe even longer. Its ok, nothing special.

They sounded soooooo good! Shame all of the politics issues arose to stop them from touring full time.

I love Al, and of course Brian's Band is amazing. I remember Al initially saying that they were going to test the waters with a few dates here and there, like 2 or 3, and see how it progresses. That sort of makes sense to me, because from a ticket sales perspective alone, it might be tough to sell enough tickets to pay the band, stage guys etc.... Especially if they're in really small venues. It's akin to this, here in NJ, we have 3 very nice music venues in Red Bank; The Count Basie Theater which seats north of 2,000, and which Brian and the guys have played a few times over the years and sold lots of tickets near or at sell out, The Vogel next door, which only seats a few hundred and is more of a tables on the floor set up, and the 2 River Theater which only seats a couple of hundred. I'm guessing Al and the guys may go for the Vogel, and that may not pay the bill. But who knows, I now that wherever they are near me, I'll do my best to attend!

I listened to most of it, and yes it is kind of sad. David sounds a bit out of it at times, sometimes attacking Love, other times defending him. Seems a bit irrational, so it does make one wonder about his state of mind and health. Sad.

I've seen the video before and always thought the guys could have created a great video for themselves based on their past achievements. And I think a shared lead vocal from Carl and Al would have sounded fantastic! Alas, what might have been....so many of those in their careers!

Wow would have loved to have been at that show to see the beaks of eagles alone. Also good to hear some of the new materials being performed live which would lead me to believe that will be released at some point.

Sounds like Jenny Clover is spots, more than Waves of Love to me. A nice little tune, but I'm not sure would have been able to sing in that range at times during the song w/o some sort of altered assistance.

I've seen that Mike/Dennis video before, and I'm always taken aback by how nervous and anxious Mike looks, not knowing what Dennis is going to do physically or say for that matter. I've always thought Mike was sitting there thinking " Oh please Dennis, don't go into the history of Gage's mom and say something that is going to be completely embarrassing to me". To Dennis' credit, he didn't go down that path...but I'm sure Mike was thinking he would or could at any moment.

It could just be that Carl's estate(Justyn and Jonah) are just lazy, and content to receive Carl's portion of Beach Boys revenue. I know that may be a stretch, esecially since Jonah by all accounts is a very successful realtor to the stars. But as for Justyn, not quite sure what he does to make a living, if anything, other than collect his share of BB touring dollars and other assets from his dad. Who knows, not being a wise guy here, just saying this might be the reason we see virtually nothing from Carl's estate.

Al just added a bit of a cryptic post to his Instagram account, that would seem to indicate new music is coming from him soon! Just a pic with him at the keyboards, with the cryptic commentary! That would be awesome, fingers crossed!!!

Zenobi...X2!

It's ok for what it is, it wasn't designed to be a dig deep documentary. It was well produced and the music sounded great, loved the new interviews too. But it seemed like it rushed the last 1/2 hour or so, from the 60's to the end. Too bad it didn't end in 1980, but just very rushed. But I enjoyed what there was of it.

W/O Brian it wouldn't be much of a reunion.

I think Joe was a really big positive influence on Brian. Personally, I loved Imagination, and think it is one of Brian's best solo efforts. And W/O Imagination, I'm not sure where Brian would have gone. Thanks Joe, RIP.

Yea, thats very clearly Melinda

Shocking said news. Prayers for her for Brian and their entire family. Hard to imagine where Brian would have been without Melinda or where he goes from here.

Of the 3, I like the Carl Wilson, Under God the most. There's just some really excellent tracks on that one. Check out My Old Friend, on You Tube, by Billy and Desi. It's a great song.

I have it, along with the Carl tribute as well. They are both wonderful, I wouldn't part with them for any amount of money.

I definitely think its worthwhile to see the monument, it won't be crowded, it's got a lot of historic value, and you can park free right on the Wilson's former street. Loved Santa Monica and Chez Jays and I stayed in Marina Del Ray at the Ritz with my balcony overlooking Dennis final dives. Would love to visit Carl's final resting spot, haven't done that yet. And having done the "UP THE COAST" drive, loved Sycamore Canyon road and Al's ranch at the end of it, just up from the beautiful Pfieffer Beach. Very cool pot, there was a Woodie parked out front at the mouth of the gated property.

Totally agree. I would never ever go to a concert that I knew was lip synced. Frankie Valli is a legend no doubt and understand he's 90 years old but it's so obvious he's not singing It's piped in music and whether or not it's his vocal or not to me doesn't even matter he's not singing it live. And that's what it comes down to for me I'd rather hear it live and not as good then hear something pre-recorded with someone making it appear that they're singing when they're obviously not

Jude, I think your spot of with your thoughts. There could never EVER be a problem with Jeff's vocals, frankly I can't think of anyone who had a better singing voice., high and low ranges. Many fans have often complained that there was just too much Jeff and not enough Boys on TWGMTR. Perhaps true, but at their ages at the time, most of them were past their prime singing abilities. Jeff on the other hand was in excellent voice as always. So glad I have all of his solo cds, they are all magnificent.

Such sad news. Jeff was such a huge part of the touring band, and often as an uncredited singer on BB record releases in the 80s and 90s. But as a performer, singer, arranger and producer, I really love Jeff's solo CDs. I have every one of them from his first, Thru My Window(the most Beach Boy sounding cd ever) through his last one, Voices. They are all superb, one better than the next. He will be greatly missed.
