@ His first panic attack 'breakdown' was two years BEFORE Pet Sounds. During the Pet Sounds sessions he was fine, alert, strong, in charge, happy and emotionally together. You hear it in his comments and directions and joking around all through the PS sessions tapes, and in the interviews and memories of everyone who took part. His real mental breakdowns came during and after the SMiLE sessions. Watching this really does remind me of his attitude and happiness we have on tape during the PS days.

I know some people say his current wife is ‘manipulating’ him to do more and more stuff, but I really don’t think that’s true. I mean, just in this video, you can see he’s comfortable doing more work and how engaged he is. And why wouldn’t he be? I would be thrilled too if I was in my late years and I get to finish something that meant so much to me, after decades passed, with great young musicians who are fans of my work. Now, I do think it could be true that he’s easily influenced and that’s why he’s doing so many shows. He’s 80 now, with back problems, still doing tours, which, I really hope he retires pretty soon, for his own health’s sake. But I’m glad to know that, at least this 2004 version of SMiLE, was definitely what Brian wanted, and that he was in full control of it.
