I really want to see that Dennis Wilson River Song promo video

[chaki]

I believe it was shot by Ed Roach who posts here?
Does anyone have it? The one where he talks to the camera about being a rock star and shows him in the studio and stuff?
I'm sad it's not on youtube.

Part of it is in the "Dennis Wilson - The Real Beach Boy" documentary, which is on Youtube.

I believe most if not all of it is in the movie The Beach Boys: An American Band.

Yeah, it's a nice clip in An American Band, but too brief.

What I would really love to see is the promotional commercial for the In Concert LP, with footage shot by Ed Roach.

I saw it on YouTube a while ago-perhaps it's been deleted.

There's a fan edit version with extracts of that footage + other clips from the Real Beach Boy doc

The AMC channel did, I believe, air the “River Song” promo back in 2000.

The problem with all of that weird random bonus footage AMC aired back then was that, instead of compiling all of the material into one show (which they originally intended to do apparently, according to a press release at the time), they aired it as filler footage randomly over the course of days or weeks. *Sometimes* they did this before or after BB-related programming, but sometimes not. Sometimes it was aired during other vaguely beach/music-related stuff. I think they were showing stuff like “Beach Blanket Bingo” (or some such beach party movie) and things like that and using the BB footage as filler. So I ended up getting some of that footage they aired (the brief studio footage circa 1970 from that Airline commercial or whatever it was; the TV appearance with the brief a capella performance of “Friends”, etc.) on VHS, but not all of it.
