... this looks like something to catch:

Films of the Beach Boys and Friends

By Shaun Brady

For anyone with an interest in the Beach Boys beyond simply relaxing to their summer-defining tunes down the shore, it doesn't take long to realize that the band's reality had precious little in common with their fun 'n' sun image. Turns out that behind those heavenly harmonies was plenty of hell, from Murry Wilson's terrorizing of his sons to discord sown between Brian Wilson's eccentric genius and his bandmates' rock-star lifestyles. Jay Schwartz's latest Secret Cinema program, A Walk on the Soft Side: Films of the Beach Boys and Friends, offers a pair of rarely seen films from the band's declining years along with the usual host of shorts and oddities, all based around a "soft rock" theme. The program — with special guest Dennis Diken, Smithereens drummer/pop historian/Beach Boys expert, introducing each film and answering audience questions — includes a bizarre-sounding, Lorne Michaels-produced 1976 TV special meant to publicize Brian's return to the group after his notorious mental breakdown, an educational short featuring Al Jardine and Johnny "Secret Agent Man" Rivers, and a clip from a TV special featuring The Fifth Dimension.

Sat., March 26, 8 p.m., $8, Moore College of Art & Design, 1916 Race St., 215-965-4099, thesecretcinema.com.

I live in Philadelphia, less than 2 miles from this event — thanks Andrew!

I live in the Philly area and work a mere 4 Blocks from the venue mentioned.

BTW, what ever happened to "Surfer Girl" that used post on here? I met her at the Mann Music Center back in 2005 when the SMiLE tour came here?

Brief scenes (and outtake footage) of It's OK appeared in Malcolm Leo's excellent 1985 documentary The Beach Boys: An American Band, but the complete TV special (which runs about 50 minutes) was never aired again, and is nearly impossible to see today. We will be showing an extremely rare 16mm print of the full program.



It's available on DVD......

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I'm sure the first DVD copy I had was a US release, twinned with the Don Was Brian Wilson documentary I Just Wasn''t Made For These Times (which in turn I don't think has had a UK DVD release... possibly cos they couldn't source any blank B&W DVDs to burn it on to).

You're misremembering the 1985 video biog being twinned with the 1995 Was film.
