On n' oubliera jamais les magnifiques années qu' ils nous ont données , ils nous rappellent toujours notre magnifique jeunesse des années 60-70 , où tout pétait le feu .
listen to him as long as you can because there will come a time when there will be no more. You have your recordings and your memories and you still have Brian.
BB always welcome to my homeland Australia.....had me tons of beach parties, chicks galore, beer, barbies and snags listening to BB....ty you Brian Wilson and the gang!!
His body of work deserves better respect than many of the comments here show. I saw him in Melbourne earlier in the tour and his performance was perfect. It was a long tour and by the time he got to Perth, he would have been feeling it.
Nice that Alan got to go on this tour. Don't feel bad for Brian. Bad as he might look and sound, he's in the best place he's ever been in his life now, with a loving wife and family, and a tremendous band. We have to remember he's now 74 years old. I only hope he's still enjoying touring and not doing it out of a sense of obligation to support everyone; something that nearly killed him 50 years ago.
Give Brian one week rest, eat right and very moderate exercise and watch how great he would sound You can't be on your A game every day He is the man !!
It's just his stagefright. His voice is quite in shape, but his anxiety is so horrible that it makes it quiver and waver often. When I saw the Beach Boys with Brian in 2012, it was an excellent show, but Brian seemed very anxious. I took some really closely zoomed in photos of him and he has that "black holes in the sky" look most of the time.
Brian may have liked touring with Mike. Word is he wanted the reunion to con continue. Mike is an asshole, but he has always been comfortable being the front man. With Mike on stage, Brian can just focus on the music.
Kelly Marshall I don't know about that. When I saw them all together in Berkeley in 2012, Brian seemed pretty out there. It seems like he has some trouble focusing on the music most of the time in general. Definitely part of his illness though, not Mike. Mike didn't seem like a big douchebag that night. Other than when they started doing Be True to Your School, and he did his WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN thing.
What I mean is that I don't think Brian likes being the lead singer/attraction on stage. He has always hated touring. Reports from the Reunion Tour were that Brian liked playing with Mike. Mike has always been the emcee with his corny jokes (like the stupid bit about women in uniform before "Be True to Your School). If/When Brian spaces out, it isn't as big of a deal at a Beach Boys show with Mike, Al, and Bruce versus a Brian Wilson concert.
God Bless Brian. He's ready to retire and he's earned it in spades. A true genius, with a massive legacy. So wonderful to see he's still out there plugging, but he needs rest. I heard recently he's announced his retirement after the current tour. It's time.
He's scheduled to be in norcal in December 2018. I've never seen him or the Beach Boys live. I'd like to go, and not to hear him but to be in the same room as the author of all that great music.
Brian and Al are both 73 years old. Al still sounds great! Brian, not so much. He has had a difficult time with life, that's for sure. If they are out there because they want to be then, so be it. I just hope that the need for money isn't forcing them to perform.
It's sad to see Brian like this. This is why I chose to see Mike Love and band instead this summer. Brian's a genius though. Check his book out too, great read.
I saw him last night at the NY State Fair and I agree with you Alex..he was in total command of the music but being out front is still difficult for him..BUT in saying that what a show..
RitaAnne Doubt Brian will go on tour much longer! Voice and memory are both slipping! But oh what a music genius he was! He was the driving force behind my favorite singing group ever! The Beach Boys music will never die and he wrote almost all of it! l'm 78 and still love their great sound and listen to them a lot! Brian, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of terrific songs!!
I hope that Brian isn't being pressured to tour this much. If he enjoys being up there, then great... but I know that he hasn't liked touring much in the past.
He loves it, he just has bad anxiety. I don't know if you've ever sang lead on stage in front of a thousand or so people, but it is pretty frightening, especially when you've gone through some shit in your life and have lots of pent-up anxiety. I've done it multiple times when I was a kid, and coming from a psychologically abusive and unhealthy family myself, stagefright definitely messes with your vocal range. It can cause the muscles in your throat to tighten and drastically shrink how high you can go, or change the consistency of your voice.
saw him in 2004 in montreal i thibk after smile cane out... was too.notch sound incredible.... please to the personnwho put that online.... remove this... i am begging you for the love of his genius...ans music. remove this please.
Can it be really true that they may perform ( everyone else has turned down the honour) at Trumps ordination, what a sad ending to a wonderful sound/group/memories is this really how to make America Gray again!
Al Jardine pretty much holding the show together! Great to see Brian is still out there but man does he need to lose some weight! Still for 74 he does ok!
I feel bad for Al. He's carrying the show and keeps looking over at Brian to see if he's.....well...if he's even there. Almost as if he's worried his partner is going to fall out any time.
the trouble is they are slugging poor unsuspecting punters big$$$$ to see this crap. my daughter is a huge beach boys fan and she would have loved to see him but i had a look on you tube to see some recent shows and i said no way and these poor suckers got totally RIPPED!!!!
It's completely ironic that in the mid sixties he stopped touring because he couldn't handle it so he made amazing studio work instead ....................and now when he should be taking it easy and doing what he likes in the studio ....what happens ?? He is being toured to death ! literally !!
So who do we blame now ? Landry ? Evil Mike Love ? or Melinda or just him. He said in an interview he loves being on stage but just doesn't like stress of traveling.
He is not interested ................................fuck we like all bands playing here in oz and will give credit where it needs to be .........disapointed
God only knows what we'd be without you, Brian.
On n' oubliera jamais les magnifiques années qu' ils nous ont données , ils nous rappellent toujours notre magnifique jeunesse des années 60-70 , où tout pétait le feu .
I just want to hug Brian :(
listen to him as long as you can because there will come a time when there will be no more. You have your recordings and your memories and you still have Brian.

Thank you Al for being there!
how old does he look though! like ghostly ahah
I'm almost in tears right now. I hate seeing Brian like this. :'( Bless Al Jardine.
So this is what i am missing in America! Great songs, and Great Video.
Brian really does look like he's wondering, "Why don't they let me go home?"
Perth has a way of depressing anyone creative.

You can't be on your A game every day
He is the man !!
no shit. he was doing shows every second day in different states!
no shit. he was doing shows every second day in different states!
Finally I got to see some great recording from the Australia. Thanks a bunch for uploading
I can't see Brian like this.
At this point, he's like Bob Hope at age 95, when they had to walk him onstage for yet another TV "special". He should've hung it a lot sooner.

This is fantastic!!! Brian Wilson has still got it.
He's scheduled to be in norcal in December 2018. I've never seen him or the Beach Boys live. I'd like to go, and not to hear him but to be in the same room as the author of all that great music.
Sad to see Brian like this.
Sweet old Brian
Sounds great, looks...well, You guys know. Edit: I just got to Brian. Oh, man.
Great so Great!
Your getting for this Brian.
Great job on the camera work: close ups, exposure, compositions, focus
❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻For ever the Beach Boys✌🏻👏🏻❤️👏🏻
I have never heard Brian sing "God only knows". I have been missing something I think!
LOLLLL... you're an incredible idiot.
Don't be a jackass.
Thanks, but for me it has always been Carl´s song. Or like here, Alan´s. I talk about the lead vocal of course.
Brian and Al are both 73 years old. Al still sounds great! Brian, not so much. He has had a difficult time with life, that's for sure. If they are out there because they want to be then, so be it. I just hope that the need for money isn't forcing them to perform.

Brian, if you’re not gonna look like you want to be there, then who wants to look at you?
He looks so tired :(
After a 18-hour flight... he looked less tired in Europe. Just guessing.
He has terrible stagefright, you know. He's very happy on stage, but he's also very anxious.
I saw him last night at the NY State Fair and I agree with you Alex..he was in total command of the music but being out front is still difficult for him..BUT in saying that what a show..
He suffers terrible anxiety.. I encourage those of you who have not seen "Love and Mercy" to watch it will give you better insight..He is a genius..
RitaAnne Doubt Brian will go on tour much longer! Voice and memory are both slipping! But oh what a music genius he was! He was the driving force behind my favorite singing group ever!

Brian gets really nervous before shows so probably explains why he sometimes sounds off when singing. Anxiety sends your body into overload.
His voice... ;_;
Seems like he's doing a little better on the 2017 tour.
saw him in 2004 in montreal i thibk after smile cane out... was too.notch sound incredible.... please to the personnwho put that online.... remove this... i am begging you for the love of his genius...ans music. remove this please.
Грустно... Ничто не вечно...
Can it be really true that they may perform ( everyone else has turned down the honour) at Trumps ordination, what a sad ending to a wonderful sound/group/memories is this really how to make America Gray again!
SHUT THE F ... UP..
oh dear
RAC Arena
are we sure Brian is alive...?
brian doesent always look that tired but here he looks very tired.
Al Jardine pretty much holding the show together! Great to see Brian is still out there but man does he need to lose some weight! Still for 74 he does ok!
Honestly I remember it being better than this on the night
The band is excellent. That's why.
This is just TOO sad.
I feel bad for Al. He's carrying the show and keeps looking over at Brian to see if he's.....well...if he's even there. Almost as if he's worried his partner is going to fall out any time.
Al Jardine is such a bauce
Ahhh you people are sad...He can sing anyway he wants, I mean just that he wrote God only knows allows him to do it until the day he dies...
God only knows porqué Brian Wilson hace esto. Lo amamos pero luce muy anciano y enfermo. Al Jardine está aún vigoroso.
the trouble is they are slugging poor unsuspecting punters big$$$$ to see this crap. my daughter is a huge beach boys fan and she would have loved to see him but i had a look on you tube to see some recent shows and i said no way and these poor suckers got totally RIPPED!!!!

So who do we blame now ? Landry ?
Evil Mike Love ? or Melinda or just him.
He said in an interview he loves being on stage but just doesn't like stress of traveling.
They shouldn't be allowed to decay on stage like this. Like what happened with Johnny Winter and BB King. Very sad.
+Mark Worth "They" should be allowed to do whatever makes them happy, if he still enjoys performing respect that
He is not interested ................................fuck we like all bands playing here in oz and will give credit where it needs to be .........disapointed
sorry but reminds me of meat loaf at the AFL grand final
Brian needs to get back with Mike Love, he can not sing anymore, wish Al Jardine talks some sense into both of them
