A couple of things I did like:
1. Seeing a few more seconds of that footage of 1970s Brian looking at the camera and hiding his face, now in color and including Marilyn.
2. Brian's smile at Paradise Cove when he greets Al.
Thoughts about Mike getting choked up in that interview near the end?

Here's the direct YouTube link to this little video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_74NLBJDMc&t=51sAl mentioned in a Q&A on one of his recent cruise gigs that the filmmakers didn't even want them to do any playing/singing, and he had to convince them to let him have a guitar on hand just in case they might want to sing together. Subsequently, several have mentioned that they sang a few songs together during this meet-up. But it might be worth pondering the question, what if the filmmakers kept to their original idea of just making this essentially a "photo op" situation in the documentary? Wouldn't it be kind of nuts if they didn't even include any of the songs from that day in the final documentary? It would be nuts.....right? I guess Frank Marshall likes Duophonic! |

No young Brian on old Brian songs. Please.
The old BW songs gain their power from him being, well, old.
To his credit, Dae Lims gets this and has been very careful in his approach. Desert Drive is a full latter day BB version. The Like in I Love You have been given a full band treatment, but it’s not even a BW melody. His L&M toured the history of BW vocal approaches. That’s all amazing and excellent.
But putting a young BW on MAD, for example, or the Paley tracks — it just doesn’t work or make aesthetic sense. The young BW wouldn’t have written or produced those songs.
Agreed, with maybe one exception--I think many folks would like to hear a song like "I'll Bet He's Nice" with a Sunflower-Surf's Up era vocal blend and younger-ish lead vocals. I'm not sure if that would absolutely necessitate a significant reworking of the backing track as well, but it would be interesting to hear regardless... Here's one attempt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VXi3AXzGrc |

Oh God, this is gorgeous, and especially poignant in light of Melinda's passing, it's basically a memorial... Dae Lims' Love and Mercy with young and progressively older Brian and the Beach Boys. I think there are some onions I'll go peel... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HtyTW-qUSgUpdate: Oh crap, it's just been removed. Dae Lims was getting a lot of kudos, but also grief from some posters for being disrespectful, which puzzles me. The video began with early-to-mid 1960s Brian, switched to late 1960s-early 1970s, then to mid-to-late 1970s with some Love You synth thrown in, back to early 1960s and then current Brian. |
