I had this on VHS and watched it over and over again when it first came out. It was my first real introduction to Brian Wilson, been hooked ever since.
I love that sense of pride Brian feels when Carl sings God Only Knows, and the respect he shows Carl in his playing.
Brian Wilson is a true musical genius
Just going to comment. He is a genius,,,, And a very lucky one! ☘️
@@junebermingham9300 A genius, yes. I wouldn't say a lucky one though.. A massive price he's had to pay in order to be Brian Wilson.
@@BBPalmer420 That's what I mean by lucky, listen to this documentary, The drugs, drink, over the years, He paid what price? He is still alive , !!! RI,P Dennis, and Carl!!
Genius or insanity?. A very thin line indeed.
@@johnnyx9892 I agree with you, But I still think he was very lucky, ! R,I,P Carl and Dennis👍☘️🎶🎶🎶
Brian Wilson was, and STILL IS, the HEART & SOUL of The Beach Boys...Period!
Will NEVER be another American Musical Genius like Brian Wilson EVER in America.... He truly had a God-Given talent from a very young age... Always imagined what could have been, if, the "Demon of Drugs" he was introduced to early on by supposed "trusted friends inside the music world", had never happened...???
Man his vocal performances are beautiful here. Carl too. It was so nice to see Brian and his daughters at on Do it again.
It's looks like turning tue life movie all about beautiful by side effects from beach boys years 60th birthday years anniversary celebration of life 50th years beach boys years before New 2012 and make it happen to Carl Wilson and Brian Wilson with oasr awesome picture awards TCM channel interview with a difference between each of them back in time
“Drinkin… cocaine… the works…….. PUT ME IN JAIL” 🤣🤣🤣 idk why that made me laugh so much. Brian Wilson forever
I always loved Brian Wilson.....and my love for The Beach Boys will never ever go away.....
The part at 11:20 where Carl and Brian are singing '''In My Room'' with their mom is so heartwarming. RIP Carl & Audrey Wilson
And he even tries, & manages, to get some of the falsetto!
15:00 he gets the warmth of the sun in falsetto
@@sheatiller2465 I thought the backup vocalists did the falsetto bits during The Warmth of the Sun. But I'll check that out!
@@matthewrider5906 in the real version they do but at that time stamp he's just demonstrating it and so he sings it himself
@@sheatiller2465 Oh! I remember what you're referencing now! Ok, gotcha!👍
I remember when I was a young kid hearing the Beach Boys on the am radio in a car and a big smile just came.It was like a drug.Couldn't get enough.Thank you Brian Wilson!
He's a fascinating guy. As deep and layered as his music.
The Beach Boys not only consumed me, as a young Southern California kid, but helped define part of my personal identity.
And because of this, I feel like Brian is a kindred spirit, as well a literal blood relative.
Brian Wilson is a music genius and a beautiful person. 🌹🎼🎶🎵🎵🎵

I did not know Brian didn't study music, he truly had a gift.
Van Dyke Parks was so right about re-entry. Few made it back unscathed. If you have ever had mixed feelings about your relationship with your father, Brian is an incredible example of surviving a difficult relationship and healing. Kids are always counting on parents helping them feel things are alright. Because his relationship with his father really wasn’t, he spent the rest of his life seeking the peace he didn’t feel growing up. What an amazing tale of finding healing and music helping in that process.
I sat down next to Carl by his grave. He did have the voice of an angel 👼. Brian is the genius and he knew how to get the most out of each band member. Carl is missed by me. I always enjoyed the Beach Boys since I was a young kid on the beach in the early 60s.
OmG, Brian. You were absolutely made for these times, to bring us love, faith and hope in an otherwise desperate time.
Beautiful music from a beautiful guy; in the band Carl stands out his voice and guitar are as measured and melodic and what an under rated guitar player he was sadly he is no longer with us and I had an opportunity to engage him in conversation after a concert in Toronto at the Bamboo Club.
If you can listen to this band from beginning to recently then you will understand how powerful and unending their music
Continues to amaze.
Carl was...CARL IS a great singer and a great guitar player.....his style and signature is magically clear on everything from 66/67 to 77. Love You and Wild Honey included. Beacuse when it wasn't voice or guitar...it was the production/recording/managerial skills that keep together the band on the most magical period, 66-73...when songwriting and live performances really were important.
My all time favorite Beach Boys song is Sail On, Sailor. I can hear that song anywhere, anytime and it brings out deep emotions. Such a wonderful song.
holland was my favourite album cept for those radio type recordings ..
I was lucky enough to meet this genius of a man. A highlight in my life. Thank you so much Brian for all the joy you have given me!💝

The dad hit all three boys, it’s just that Brian had music as a release. Thank you for all the wonderful music and memories
'Til I Die is utterly beautiful.
Since the age of 11 I have been smiling when I heard and sang or cried as I heard or sang the incredibly harmonic and lyrical renditions gifted to us by Brian. Thank you to everyone sharing their experiences of the times shared with Brian. Brian you are not only a musical genius you are a brave soul.
Wonderful!
I couldn’t pay the man a bigger compliment that when he does shuffle off this mortal coil as we all will I shall be heartbroken all over again. It will hit me like the morning when I was getting ready for school and my mum was crying her eyes out. It was then that I found out John Lennon had died. Brian Wilson has had the same musical impact on my life.
Seamless modulations again in Wonderful. Beautiful song with a melody to die for. Brian Wilson is a genius.
Also the testimony from all these legendary artists about Brian's life and career is really really cool too.
Thank you Cal Vid great video!! This man is a musical Genius, !! ( Miss Carl and Dennis,, R,I,P,) ☘️

They got their great smooth vocals from their mom Audrey. Her voice here is still pure as a twenty year old!

I long for the day that all of Brian Wilson's unreleased recordings from the 60s and 70s are shared with the world.
Supposedly there's a Country album by him in the can from the early 70s 🤷♂️
This is one of the best documentrys that l have seen - giving the most amazing insight - into a God given period of healing - in an exemptional man's life.
I really love some of those last songs included - with the trio of black singers. They really felt - and could interpret Brian's music - magnificiently.
I can't thank God enough for Brian's healing, thru a very loving, understanding, and undemanding lady, who became Brian's 2nd wife.- and helped him reconnect with his first family

Great upload. I am now just getting into The Beach Boys. I overlooked them so long, thinking they were more a pop, teeny-bop type band. Now I'm just blown away by almost all their music. Pet Sounds is just great, just nothing like that harmony. They sound like a 100 person orchestra.
Enjoy!
Great to hear. Check out Break away, Surfs up and Disney girls.....
Those backup singers are extraordinary.
Thanks. I really needed this. The Beach Boys and Brians music is so much more than the listening value I've enjoyed for many many years. I relate so much to Brians turmoil in relation to my own successes and failures in life. Life is hard work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw Brian at Carnegie Hall in NYC. No Beach Boys were there but it made no difference because of his brilliance.
Thank you and as always, shared.
Much appreciated!
I love Brian Wilson because( YES I AGREE) he is so child like. Children R honest & sweet & try so hard to just be loved by their parents & everyone :)
He's an AMAZING TALENT ! I'm really happy he is still alive today! God Bless U Brian Wilson !!!

"God, how lucky you can be to be able to express what you feel and have it come out with music." Marilyn Wilson's comments in this documentary are the real gem here (her reaction to "Caroline, No" is another example). Some really great interviews in this piece,
I had the same thoughts. She has a very good memory of every moment of that time and is able to articulate it in a manner that brings us back to that time. And I’m happy she can remember her days so well because I can’t. 😅
My hero. Period!
Wonderful ( 39:22 ) There's a genius chord sequence and a melody to go with it. If you haven't got a copy, treat yourself to Smiley Smile.
11:00
Crosby: What year did in my room come out?
Nash: 65? Or no was it a little later than Pet...
*crew guy sneezes*
Crosby & Nash: WTF
I think the 60s were a bit of a blur for those guys
Been looking for this for years. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Heart breaking, the story about how his dad would use his belt on him. No way that doesn’t stick with you your whole life.
Yeah, it really messes with your head, causing depression, anxiety, fear, helpless, hopeless, confusion, low self esteem, embarrassment, social isolation, suicidal thinking & that's just the mental effects. We got the same from our father & also our mother but to a lesser degree. It's amazing how he was able to rise above to be such an amazing & talented performer etc.
Believe me I know this too well myself.... I had the same exact treatment myself as a kid and why knowing the history of this group and their music always had a special hold on me since I was a kid in the 60's... Could NEVER understand why so much God-GIven talent and harmonies and creativity, could come from a very young human being (Brian), who had such a sad, abusive treatment from his father behind-the-scenes... Brings tears to my eyes even writing this... My dad just passed away December 2020, 90 1/2 years old, a fragment of the person I remember he once used to be so many years ago... R.I.P. Dad.
I believe in parental discipline, but abhor parental abuse and cruelty. Their mom should have protected them, although it was a different time. Have you read Brian's memoir? He forgave his dad.
boo hoo
@@slick222 Nice remark, Murry.
The beach boys...surfin music was no fad...they were huge...it wa a real thing...people really were livin the surfin life there in california...all the teenage boys wanted to move to cal and live the life surfin with the babes on the beach...he wrote beautiful music...one of those guys ahead of their time. .
I would LOVE to go back to that time and never leave.

Brain Wilson wow , I don’t think I have ever seen a “cultural personality “ respond to a post on CZcams. Thanks for all the good times that came from listening to your music . Your music made this planet a a better place to live .
Thanks again and keep on composing .
@@johnnada1222that's not the real Brian writing that.
What about 'Orange Crate Art'? That's worth adding to the track list up there around 57:30 .
Wow!! Brian is still singing a pretty nice falsetto on "In My Room!" Woulda liked for him to have tried the high bits within "The Warmth of the Sun" as well.
Got the CD but never got out to see this.I thought "Melt Away" would have been a great single from the CD and maybe made this doc last longer in the art houses. Thanks.
Well said!
This is Gold. Thank You for sharing
You're very welcome
AN ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL DOCO ...THANK YOU ..MEANS A LOT TO US MOB...
So nice of you
Thank you. Great channel.
Thank you too!
Enlightening, what a lovely guy, thanks for posting.
My pleasure!
Soooooooo good!!!!
After watching various documentaries about Brian and how he was channeling music all the time, there is no doubt he was a savant.
thank you Brian! 💕

Great video!
Thanks for the visit
A classic documentary.
I’m here for Danny Hutton’s “Shortening Bread” story. 33:25
I recently watched the movie, 'Love and Mercy'. It was fascinating to see some of those scenes described or played out in front of the camera. This is a good documentary, though it would pay to know something about Brian Wilson before you watch it. Good stuff.
A lot of dads were hard in those days ..not taking away from brians experience, but a lot of us had dads just like that back then and copping the strap was common . Kept us in line thats for sure
Sounds like he beat the shit out of them when tremendous effort
RIP Carl & Dennis
Maybe the greatest live performance of Caroline No ever. Only Pet Sounds London '02, at The Royal Festival Hall, really could compete! It's a great live vocal too. And Tom Petty is just so spot on w/his assessment of Wilson, BTW. Petty really "got it," if ya dig!👍
Believe it or not, but Chrissy Hinds of The Pretenders just put out a new album, and on it was her cover of "Caroline No".. Amazing cover in deed... In an interview I heard her do a month ago or so, she said as a teenager, she was haunted by its lyrics listening to it while going to sleep...
To David & Graham ------------obviously this is rhetorical --------" In My Room " was from the Fall of '1963, just before & after 11/22. -----------OK ????????? ---------------MJL, 76 y/o
The producer guy thought good vibrations was 1970 lol
He reminds me sooo much of my brother Danny. He was a hardcore Beach Boys fan,
R.I P. you two💧💧
@25:30 yep...
@52:20 it happens, hibernation being a healing zone imo
I am so glad my cousin Bill Stevens turned me on to The Beach Boys very cool and American Music.
That song that he does with vandyke Parks 59:40 is beautiful, I used to think Brian being a genius was hype, but now I'm thinking there's something to it.
Brian was very misunderstood. He was a musical genius
I used to live below hawthorn in lawndale. What a sad story. RIL Sir Wilson ❤
The California Tourism board should have a line in their budget for Brian.
Good Vib.... 🎵🎶😍
The greatest band in the universe...
The deeply buried pain Brian feels really comes out when he talks about the spankings his dad administered (starts at 4:10).
He said they used to laugh about it but you can see it really damaged him -
A fragile soul that should be protected and that bloody parasitic psychologist Landy. He sucked him dry for years.
There’s some real bad people out there.
When Landy was pulled out of the picture, he did SO much better.
Brian once said that the famous album SMiLE is a teenage symphony for God. I think God likes instrumental music more and so that's why God wanted SMiLE to be unfinished. At least that's what I'd like to believe.
pure genius
How can you vote down on this? How?
Not knowing that BW, BBoys were musical and cultural compass that's how...
Proof? Watch this all the way through- it is not hit and miss- each number is melodic, lyrically moving and emotive- "Wouldn't it be Nice" for instance.
❤️❤️
every album is genius from the BB
I can't ever shake noticing Brian talking has the same mannerisms of Bill Murray as Carl the groundskeeper in Caddyshack. This is not a cut on Brian whatsoever. He's a creative and musical genius. But listen to him talk and you'll only hear Carl from Caddyshack.
Caroline No as good as any beatle tune i reckon had to rewind it a couple of times he still sounds good
Praise God. Thank you Jesus. Riveting.
Oh, on the credits, Jim Keltner was one the most on call session drummers ever.
HELP: The soundtrack album is one of my favourite Brian Wilson records, I love the whole vibe and the track selection is just so unexpectedly excellent. However, I'm really bummed out that there isn't a version of its namesake "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" on the album - and I was wondering if anybody knows if there's a collection of outtakes, demos or unreleased takes out there somewhere? I'd be really appreciative! Love and Mercy, J
It's on streaming under "Brian Wilson - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"
@@codyratley92 I generally dislike streaming music but I just checked the album on several major sites and, again I'll reiterate - I'm wanting to know if the eponymously titled song 'I Just Wasn't Made For These Times' was recorded during the Don Was sessions for the soundtrack. I own the cassette, CD and vinyl of the soundtrack album but none of these ever contained a version of this song, yet since the title of the documentary derives from this song it's highly likely they attempted it during the sessions.
Thanks anyway!
@@SeahorsesJay oh my bad I must have read your comment horribly wrong and replied prematurely!!
at 23:30 he says that ''Caroline No'' was one of the only songs he ever wrote under the influence of marijuana.... I don't know if he's messing with the interviewer but that is definitely not true. Even by his own testimony he's said in many other interviews that hash/marijuana and benzidrene(speed) got him ''Pet Sounds'' and that LSD got him ''California Girls'' and ''Help Me, Ronda''... i have heard that he messes with journalists time to time but I honestly think he just doesn't remember exactly.
I think what he means was that it was indicative of the time. Either implying everyone within that culture was on either speed, hash or weed - freely experimenting, or that he (when he wasn't in the studio, I hope, since multiple session musicians were asked about how the dude was mentally/professionally and confirmed he seemed laser focused and upbeat aside from a couple of paranoiac asides *about* his drug use). Doesn't mean he took it then and there. Things can last for years weighing heavy on your mind until those concerns manifest itself & become true.
I suggest that by everyone's admission, his emotional problems launched into full gear at the tailend of the PS sessions, was the fault of the speed partly. Just got off the shit a month back and the paranoia was unreal. And cocaine is even worse. I can't claim to anything other than Asperger's and BP, so I'm not schizotypal, but as a person whose best friend has Brian's exact diagnoses & myself who has used & was prescribed most of what he's ingested from '66 to '92 mainly to better disguise certain traumas and insecurities, the fast, harsher stuff are the things of nightmares. That serves simultaneously as common knowledge & the misconception. "Oh, it's cid, marijuana, & molly you'll have to watch out for." That could not be more wrong.
Poor Brian... his mother couldn't help him due to her alcoholism. He (and his brothers) were terrorized. Brian says that's what drove him to greatness but it was a high price to pay.
We've all read the bios and heard the stories, thanks 🙄
@@randalclarke5487 Yet you're here watching a documentary. Hmmm...
57:40 sounds like a Randy Newman song. Van Dyke's piano sounds like Randy's too.
Randy Newman was a HUGE musical inspiration for Brian at that time.
@@MsVolksOnlineClassroom Thank you Rebecca.
Audree ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Better than the Beatles, Mozart, Dylan, Hendrix, Shirley Bassey, etc.
The greatest musical genius of music in the world.
I agree
Shirley Bassey can be compared to Mozart?
without question, the funniest comment i've read on youtube in the last year... maybe five... and maybe for the _next_ five... thanks for that!!!
AGREED 100%
"I was a little embarrassed about my voice."
Brian, do you know how many people I'd KILL
to have your, or Carl's, voice? It wouldn't be
just a few!
Do you know just how many cockroaches
I'd kill for Mike's voice! At least 0.01.
steve
To be continued
I'm glad Carl and Audree lived long enough to take part in this documentary.
Compositions like *Pet Sounds,* & like *Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE!...* They are what I would offer up should we come upon intelligent alien life, or if I had to try & convince sentient robots not to eradicate human beings, or what I would offer up to argue *against* the idea that we are living in a simulation. Yeah, man. 100%
brian was cool...
Is
I can't believe Linda Ronstadt ate Brian Wilson. She ate the Mozart of Rock n Roll 😔
Brian Wilson is a musical genius. The sounds he made in the sixtys was simply amazing at that time. Mike love came up with a few lyrics but not the music. I myself don’t like mike love. He thinks he is The Beach Boys and he is NOT
I totally agree with your assessment of 'the cousin."

When was this interview done?
So I'm watching this movie Love & Mercy starring John Cusack, and up pops this kid playing the young version of Brian. He does a fantastic job and based on the first half or so, this is looking to be great. I kinda lose focus for some reason later, and just assume that Cusack played an early dad version or some sneaky music agent or whatever, and I call it a day, promising myself to get the blu-ray of this in the near future. Later that week I'm told that no, Cusack was also supposed to be Brian Wilson, which is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Turned a decent Beach Boys-related music bio into complete crap. The smart thing to do would be just makeup-age the kid, since the real Brian never changed all that much. Meanwhile, Cusack never looked or acted like Wilson in his life. Worst casting decision I've seen made in Hollywood in the last quarter century.
My dad was tough. Never anything like what Brian expierenced ?
"Carl Wilson mentioned about prayer(to GOD. . .)first before recording session songs with his brothers;no wonder many lyrics were classically harmonized,euphonic: 10-14-2023'
