I mean, why bother, Brian? I have seen the BB over 50 times, including in their heyday in the mid 60s WITH Brian in his prime. Have seen Brian Wilson solo at least 20 times. This is pathetic. Matt Jardine, while doing a great job on Surf's Up, had nothing to do with the original recording. I refuse to go see Brian Wilson anymore. I'm not gonna shell out 150 bucks to see Brian used as a prop on stage. He misses all his ques, he doesn't play piano anymore and it's simply a cover band singing his songs with Brian wheeled out on stage. It's like, Hey everyone, look at the genius sitting motionless behind the piano, and listen while we sing his songs.

Im currently watching and kinda agree, you're a lil harsh because it's like a miracle that Brian even survived the 60s but it does however seem very prop like but it is his band so it'd be hard to believe that's the intention... it is eerie

@@nickb5371 I did not think I was being harsh, just being real. Now, back in the late 1980s when Brian reemerged in public, YEAH, it was great seeing him in public and you took Brian as he was, because, as you said, it was a wonder he was even there at all. But at least he sang and played keyboards. Now, as I said, he is merely a prop on stage, with his songs being sung by people who were not even alive when they were recorded.

Maybe he was having a dissociative episode. If I were a musician who had played with Brian and seen him animate and come to life and also seen him inexplicably slip into himself and coast along, I would still show up and sing alongside him and hope for those bright glimmers of him being present. What would you prefer? That he slip back into his bathrobe and go to bed? Maybe the light is dim here in this performance, but it hasn't gone out completely.

The intro is based off the alternate mix of Til I Die that was considered for the Surf's Up album (it's on the Endless Harmony CD). Same version as the master but it's twice as long with a long buildup. The band was at their peak in 1969-71. Either way it's stunning. But Brian is not sounding so good these days. Glad I saw them 3 times on the 50th Anniversary Tour. I would have preferred Matt Jardine to Jeff Foskett on that tour doing Brian's high harmony parts.

@@Ram44 Yes! The great Steve Desper made that alternate mix, which, as I was just discovering the Beach Boys' avant garde period, I'd purchased Endless Harmony, & the alternate mix was actually my original intro to the song;) I was BLOWN AWAY the first time I heard it! I was sitting "In My Room 🎶" & was smoking a joint, sitting in a huge, old, comfortable-as-hell, secondhand, maybe third or fourth hand, hehe, chair, just chillin', & when the vocals suddenly jumped in.... I think I actually had a panic attack, the song was so deep! That Endless Harmony record was great, w/some very rare, deep cuts, along with some other cool stuff. I just... It breaks my heart, what the Beach Boys could've been & accomplished w/out Mike Love. We would've gotten SMiLE, and even when Brian took a turn for the worse w/his mental health, Carl, Dennis, & Al, along w/Blondie & Ricky, were well capable of picking up the slack.(Listen to Holland, Pacific Ocean Blue, or the Bambu sessions) But unfortunately....
