Dennis Wilson documentary to premiere in UK on Feb. 26th.

[GLarson432]

I got my copy of this in the mail on Monday.  I 'love?' the line, early on, where tha narrator says "...after Brian lost his mind...".

I agree with everything I've read about this.  It's a great hour spent!

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

How can I see this?

This is soooooo depressing 

[Runaways]

yeah i wish i could too. the bbc iplayer is UK only

[Magic Transistor Radio]

The last time I checked, Dennis Wilson and the BBs were frome the United States. And yet the UK gets all the good stuff. You have been torchering us since the British invasion! Ok, maybe the British invasion wasn't torcher.

[Runaways]

awesome.

i wish we could have heard more from dennis though

Don't know how long this will last, and you can credit Lars Sørensen for posting this on Blue Bamboo, but if you haven't gotten to see it yet:  http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTU2MzkxMjAw.html

A DVD released in tandem with a definitive collection of Denny's work, both released and unreleased, would just about be the best thing ever. Hopefully the overwhelmingly postive reviews coming from everyone who has seen the documentary will make Capitol/Warners/Guercio, or whoever the hell it is that owns Denny's music, sit up and realise that there is indeed a market for Dennis Wilson material, although the the Pacific Ocean Blue/Bambu release should have done that on it's own really.

Come to think of it, maybe thats why Fallin' In Love was included on Summer Love Songs and Capitol were belatedly trying to cash in on the interest in Denny's music?

Thank you very much for the link.

A great documentary...thank you for the link! I will definitely be purchasing (several copies, probably) if/when it is available in the U.S.

[Magic Transistor Radio]

Awesome! It is just so sad what the Beach Boys could have been. But money gets in the way of good art. I guess the same could be said about most bands and performers.

Hey, thanks to all involved in making this link available. The documentary is poignant, accurate and moving.
The segments with Gregg Jakobsen, Ed Roach and the last quote from Dennis' son are especially powerful.
Please Lord, let the buzz around Dennis continue to swell (no pun intended) and create sufficient momentum for further archival projects to be authorized. There is so much more to be heard!

Thanks for sharing this!

This has to be among the best music documentaries I've ever seen, genuinely touching and tasteful.

[Bud Shaver]

I just finished watching the documentary and can't believe how much it got to me near the end.  A big thanks to all of you who made it possible.

Still gets to me every time I watch it; I love how he edited all of our memories of the last days together.  Also the way each of us still get so choked up, all these years later... 

[Pretty Funky]

Watched this for the first time yesterday. Fantastic!!!

Thanks Jon, Ed, Dave (Carrie), regulars here (plus any others) for your heartfelt contributions.

Had to laugh had Blondie. His mannerisms are so Keith Richards after touring with him IMO.

[Don_Zabu]

Does anyone know what snippet of music was playing when they were talking about Fleetwood Mac?

[DonnaK]

Just watched this again after some time.....still gets me......thanks to all who made it possible. Beautifully done in memory to Dennis.....couldn't have asked for more.

[Pretty Funky]

As I type this, as luck would have it, I am on the 7th floor of a hotel over looking Marina Del Rey. I have been in the area many times since he drowned here and have never really thought of it as anything else but as the place he lived!

I'll raise a cold one to him for us all.

Amazing...my girlfriend & I had just decided to watch this today (her first viewing).

Dying to know what she thought, C-Man; and what did you think of it?

Just a heads up - This is back on iplayer for us in the UK

I didn't watch it again last night but when I've watched this documentary before it's brought tears to my eyes. It's such a powerful and interesting piece.
