The *official* Brian/BB picture thread

[Robert James]

According to my reading of the new "The Beach Boys In Concert" by Ian Rusten and Jon Stebbins:

April 20, 1973 - Hollywood Palladium - Brian came on stage, last appearance until 1976. Photographer was on hand and took numerous pictures.

May 23, 1975 - "Together Concert" - Anaheim - Brian was present. Photographers took numerous pictures of him backstage.

I searched the site and google extensively for these images. Either I'm not a good "googler" (very likely) OR they are hard to come by.

Has anyone seen them? Care to share?

Really cool photo! Is this one also from the 1975 tour book? If it is I'm guessing this one's from the Caribou sessions too. Wonder if he's showing Mike "Good Timin'" or something??

Also yes, I am pretty sure the black shirt photos of a heavy Brian are in fact Caribou. Could be late 1974 Brother though.

What black shirt photos do you mean? I don't see any of them having a black shirt. I see the one I have up top in this message which seems like a pea coat or something and then there's also the one with the open Hawaiian shirt where he's pointing

That most definitely IS Kay Lenz sitting on Tork's lap.  She was married to David Cassidy around the time this was taken:  http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20115986,00.html

I think it is, I just watched Breezy on cable this week.

sweetdudejim the photo you posted of them at the piano is what I was talking about. No photo of Brian in 1973 was in the Leaf book, but I would love to see a June 1973 photo of Brian. I have been looking for decades.

Looks like Mike's trying out Dennis' shirtless overall look!

I found these gifs on Tumblr the other day. 



So, where do these originate from?

Brian does look great, however....Due to Brian's psychological problems, it's hard to believe anybody would consent to that video. I'm surprised there wasn't any outrage; I remember when it came out and I don't recall reading anything about it. And, I guess thankfully, there is no way Brian would appear in something like that today.

Gary looks like a slim Carl in that first pic.

Is Brian doing the Spock-trick at Gary that Murry used to do with David and the boys?

Brian, Justyn, Carl and Jonah

Holy cow! Didn't see that was Brian at first.

Mid life crisis for sure 

Taken at Justyn's graduation from USC.  Rare to see Carl in a tie.

These are the worst pictures of Brian I've ever seen. He looks like hell. Could these be from '82?

[Ian]

Those were in Wouldn't It Be Nice (Brian's 91 "Autobiography") and they are from the period of time he spent in seclusion with Landy and his people in late 82-early 83 getting off drugs and getting back in shape.  At first-he was not a happy camper-as he was basically forced into it.  Landy did, however, get Brian "back" and into the best physical shape he'd been in since 1964 or so-but unfortunately he decided to stick around far past his welcome

[Amy B.]

Who would take that photo of Brian in bed, evidently miserable? Who pulls out a camera in that moment?
Landy, to make a "before" photo?

What an unfortunate photograph...

Think at least some of these have been listed previously for sale, but here's an EBAy seller with a ton of BBs photos: 
You'll probably have to copy and paste...
