Clip for ‘It’s OK’.

Aside from the heading, it’s ’Beachboys’ all the way. 🤔
They really had slipped into oblivion by 71 hadn’t they?

Apparently Mike Nesmith has just passed away.

Its being billed as ‘60 Years Of The Sounds Of Summer’ with associated artwork.

And that folks appears to be nail in the coffin for any 60th reunion tour.

I wonder if both bands will perform a few songs together,  à la the "Beachago" tour.  Probably doubtful but one can hope. 

Actually I wondered if they would/ could do ‘Wishing You Were Here’? I could imagine Al and Brian’s band, the vocalists, wanting to do it.

Never been to KC. A good place to celebrate your 80th birthday? 🤔

Thanks Stephen, but I was referring to 5.00 in the TT clip when he reaches into his pocket and actually brings out the memory holding those ‘every combination’ he talks about.

You mean 3.50 in when he mentions 117000 words in the English language and the chances were minuscule? Fair enough, but that was probably the thought 50 years ago as well with music. Now this guy has every music combination known to man in his pocket.

So, to take it another step hypothetically, someone could take every word available to mankind and copyright any combination?
Madness.
Hopefully goes nowhere but a quick Google search doesn’t appear to show any challenges since the story came to light.

Has any announcement been made as to when this film might become available in Europe?

I’ve seen no info about any release outside USA, not even a “stay tuned for info”. Very disappointing.

Which is weird, because last summer they announced that they already have international distribution covered. There's a lot of Brian fans outside of US and it's dissappointing not being able to see it when we are living the time of streaming. I tried a million ways to see it already, but VPNs won't work when all the platforms require a US credit card.

It's truly remarkable how inept the process is for the powers that be to not allow the film currently in other countries. Especially right when all the promo is happening and people are getting excited about the film.

Literally they are just begging for the movie to be pirated when they behave this way. When people are happily willing to pay for a product that's available in other countries and they make it unavailable, it just doesn't compute to me. International rights needed to have been worked out ahead of time. Whoever is in charge of this really dropped the ball. Oof.

For anyone involved with the international streaming or distribution of this documentary who might be reading. While Long Promised Road is my viewing preference, I’m watching The Beatles 3 x 2 plus hrs outside of the US with no problem....Just saying. 🤔🤔🤔

Nice....But for me it’s always going to be the Mariah Carey/ Beach Boys mix of Little Saint Nick. The legs help if I’m honest. 😍

DJL33 notes in one of the replies he is pitching an idea to Brother and Capitol. Given he has some of the best Beach Boys clips  on YouTube, I wish him success.

Reports seem to be some form of aggressive lung cancer.

Sad to read this, one of the good guys. Sorry for his family and all in The Beach Boys orbit.

If there is a delay, it would most likely be for pressing the vinyl.

Adele releases her album Nov 19 also. Anyone else, including Brian, is going to be blown out of the water. The Beatles documentary is also coming up with the same giant wave.

Listed on Rotten Tomatoes as being available on Vudu Nov 19 and a pre-order /trailer page on the Vudu website. $14.95

Several stories from Oct 27 say it will be released in theatres and ‘on demand’ the same day, but no provider mentioned. Will have to wait and see.

Nice to see Al get out and do some shoes with his band.

Take Good Care Of Your Feet 

I’ve always thought it’s his stock answer in interviews to move them along or end them.

What’s your next project?
I want to do a R&R album....Next!

It’s been the same for what, 15 years? In that time, with many albums and projects and a band at his disposal it’s never happened. Don’t think it has ever been tbh.

Thanks for this. I remember the Robert W Morgan Radio special where Carl’s interview was taped there. Reference from memory was ‘a long way from California but only a few feet from the Canadian border’. After 40 plus years it’s cool to finally see the property.

I’ll believe it when I see it as far as a world tour goes, but the 5CD set is a new one.


The group’s 60th anniversary will be marked by the release of a retrospective five-CD set, a new documentary and, “hopefully,” a world tour, Jardine said.

Can we force their hand if we stop going to Mike and Bruce's shows?

Way ahead of ya….

Great Poster - but what about the shirt - that's trippy!!

Finally got around to listening to the BB content of the interview. They were all just as naive and inexperienced as each other weren’t they? Great recommendation. Thanks. 👍

Well I did allude to that point earlier in the thread, but it is once again the use of ‘The Beach Boys’ name rather than that of an individual. ‘Brian Wilson’ can do what he wants. ‘’The Beach Boys’ most of us hope would be somewhat selective.

Then your gripe is with the entity that allows Mike and Bruce to tour as The Beach Boys.

Yes, and I know the history and that Brian and Al make money off it.
But it’s no different to me having an opinion on how a phone company should be run. I use the service but don’t own stock. With  The Beach Boys I listen to the music but aren’t a principle, but still feel entitled to give thoughts on the rights or wrongs of their business decisions.
