[CapitalQ]

Rest in peace, Brian. You were too pure for this world.

For how generally tragic Brian's life and career was, him living long enough to, not only finish his lost magnum opus, but also perform it live in its entirety (not to mention with Van Dyke Parks, Paul McCartney, and George Martin in the audience to witness it), is nothing short of a mind-boggling miracle.

Rest easy now, Brian (and Jeffrey Foskett too).

I still can't believe this album can be performed live

[rustyshackleford]

The genuine smile on Brian’s face during the standing ovation after Surf’s Up broke me…it took 40 years but he got the love and recognition he always hoped this record would bring. I saw this tour in 2005 and remains the best performance I’ve ever seen

[Matthew-le]

Rest in Peace, Brian Wilson (1942-2025). You now sing with your brothers in the great beyond. Thank you for the music <3

R.I.P. Brian Wilson, my absolute hero. Love and Mercy

[nickkostopoulos]

My God... As somebody who's never seen this video before...the feelings of grief and unadulterated joy are so intense.

[stevethrendyle]

Hard to believe he was once so paralyzed with fear that he gave up touring... then came back to create this utter masterpiece. It's all just next fucking level.

[nicholasrosebush]

RIP Brian Wilson, his magnum opus. America’s Mozart.

[gpatles]

The only one who dared to play hand-to-hand with The Beatles in this beautiful game of songwriting...
Rest in peace, Brian...

[helitrpe]

Thank god this was recorded live for posterity, and so expertly too. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dear Brian. Thank you for everything 🌞

R.I.P. Brian - We shall not see his like again. This SMiLE Live performance, especially the opener Heroes and Villains, is absolutely transcendental.

[sleepinggorilla]

“Genius” and “Masterpiece” are words that are thrown around to easily.

This is a masterpiece.

I was privileged to go to two of these Smile shows in Southern California. Two of the best shows I've ever seen by any artist. I got a bit misty at times during the set as we witnessed Brian's long-delayed dream come true on stage!

I purchased this DVD but I think I only got to watch it once on a very low quality screen on my desktop computer. The camera work here is impeccable! Instead of it being random, it's focused on what the viewer probably would want to see at that point of the show (a voice, an instrument, a sound effect).

Brian and the whole band are really into it and don't miss even the smallest detail. This was a great time to be a Brian Wilson fan!

At the current date I'm writing this, 28/9/2024, the BWPS album is now 20 years old. Crazy to think so much time has passed since this show was recorded and the album came out.

[trumpetprofessor]

no one should ever doubt that music is therapeutic. I've had a crappy couple of days and this has made everything just melt away.

But that's nothing compared to the fact that when Brian Wilson performed this music, the many demons he had been tormented with fled. I'm so glad he is still with us to this day, and even though he has lost his dear Melinda, I hope he has found peace

Nearly brings me to tears. Seeing brian have a wonderful time performing his masterpiece absolutely fills my heart with joy. One of the greatest musical achievements of all time imo

[terezahernandez]

Tranquilidad, ritmo, gran banda sonora, coro armónico que agrada, sorprende, música de otro tiempo no actual, queda enfocado en popurrí clásico. Sube y baja con acordes sensibles que se unen al canto. Juego de voces mágicas.
Concierto espectacular. Con suspensos y aportes emotivos.
Esto me dice su música.

[robhart-cw]

Brian Wilson’s songs will live forever. RIP Mr. Wilson.

[UnusMundus]

Definitely a genius. The level of detail and complexity blows my mind. Just incredible music.
