Although Brian and Carl were also into drugs, especially Brian, they were quite soft users compared to Dennis. Dennis was the hardcore Wilson brother. He was the only blonde, extroverted, cool and surfer one amongst his brothers, as well as amongst the other Beach Boys. Dennis was THE beach boy. Brian had thalassophobia, while Carl was fascinated with the ocean, but couldn't surf nonetheless.
@@draxlerchronicles5851 You've just given me an excuse to include my two cents worth. The three brothers really were good looking. One of the best photos ever taken of them was the group photo, on the inset of their "Beach Boys Concert" album, from 1964. It was taken by George Ingstead, a long time Hollywood professional photographer. They never looked better. I remember Carl, boyish and good looking (who had a beautiful voice, along with Brian), and the youngest of the Beach Boys, always seemed to epitomize the youthfulness of the group, while being the quieter and thoughtful one to Brian's complicated genius, and Dennis's hellraiser. All that seemed to vanish after Carl grew a beard. He went from youthful looking and boyish to older looking and very solemn. Something was just lost for me in the transition. The youngest one wound up advancing the much older look they all seemed to sport in the '70's. And, yes, I know Mike was the first one to grow a beard.
On the behalf of just about every Beach Boys fan in the world, I wanted to say thanks for finding and posting this rare footage. There is SO little interview video of Brian Wilson from this time frame, as he was in the middle of feverishly writing and producing an amazing run of hits. It is a rarely-seen window into what was making him "tick" at the time.
brian is one of those people who are not seemingly cocky or arrogant, but just, 'he knows that he knows' what he wants to do, and the way he wants to do it, the man with a plan, he doesn't need confidence, because he's already at peace with himself about his music, is he human, does he make mistakes? sure, but he's a great 'adjuster' of things, to work them to what he desires :) for brian, music is like sleeping, tieing your shoes, walk in the park, it was always other parts of his life where difficulty came in, I've had lot of indicators, and the guy just 'exudes' humility and love, I sure hope he's born again in Jesus, who the bible says IS love...........
you think you're 'clever', 'subtle', YOU'RE NOT, you're a LIAR, who makes up their own words, terms, euphemisms, and plays semantic word games, you're not fooling me.......I can say what ever I like, when ever, where ever, how ever, and there's nothing you or any one can do about it, whether you or anyone else agrees with it or not doesn't matter. You're just threatened by what I say, your issue is with the God of the universe, Jesus, not me. I share the gospel of Jesus, gospel means good news, I don't 'push' 'propaganda', the Word of God is truth, not propaganda, and YOU will be judged by the Word of God, Jesus IS the Word of God, and in eternity, you will stand before him, and he will be either your Saviour or Judge. So, you're as stupid, foolish to fight against God Almighty and you are, and will, God laughs. I hope it is God's will, plan and purpose to save you.
This is precious beyond belief. Love how she keeps trying to attach "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" to the Beach Boys. They're amused and good natured about being associated with their buddies Jan and Dean...
To a Beach Boys fan, this video is pure gold! From the footage shot from behind of them performing on stage to the interviews with each Beach Boy, this is a rare glimpse into the real world of the musical icons in 1964. Absolutely incredible! Thanks, OHS, for sharing this fantastic video.
Best interview of the Beach Boys I've seen so far - at least from the 61-65 era. She asks some great questions and I love the flirting, especially when Dennis compliments her on her dress and she runs with the compliment and tells them a little about the dress she bought while he and Carl act genuinely interested and remain polite. What a great bunch of guys they were even at such a young age. Just when you think you couldn't love the BBs more than you do, a newly discovered piece of video makes you love them even more.
Even Mike was charming and sweet in this one. This lady was the perfect person to interview them. She was kind, respectful and playful without being silly. Sweet southern lady brought out the best in them. She kept insisting they did Little Old Lady From Pasadena, though. hahaha.
I agree! However I could tell she did seem to like Dennis more because she seemed a little more friendly with him compared to Al. I feel so bad for Al, people tend to ignore him and not consider him as good of a Beach Boy. He’s my 2nd favourite Beach Boy (Bruce being my favourite) and I don’t get how a lot of people don’t like Al. 😟
Wow, Dennis is especially adorable here. If I was in this lady's shoes I would've definitely flirted back after that dress compliment, then tbc off camera.. lol..
I really, really love this interview from Springlake Amusement Park Amphitheater in Oklahoma City. It’s wonderful seeing all of The Beach Boys from August 1964 on the “Summer Safari” tour. Ida was a gifted journalist who knew how to calm the interviewee when they were nervous on tv. (Ida B. Blackburn was a pioneer of broadcast journalism from 1954-1974.)
This is a really great interview so positive and down to earth. Each band member being interviewed gives the viewers an opportunity to enjoy their personalities, especially their favorite member. Their humbleness helped them make the big time! 😊❤
Obviously, this was before Brian's breakdown which occurred on December 23, 1964. He looks and sounds great here. What a sad life he ended up having after his nervous breakdown happened. It wasn't wasted, just sad.
the beach boys were THE all west coast american group...in europe, back in the mid 1960`s, we saw them as typical american youths, handsome, healthy, wholesome (long before tales of drugs, alcohol addiction etc.)..surf loving...images of trendy cars, girls, beaches, sunshine, warmth, beach games, suntans, shiny teeth, friendly, harmony....they looked like typical television youngsters and we could identify with them, knowing all too well that our real world was often dull, grey, cold and grim....they represented a golden time on the west coast of america...their music recalls that glorious period and is uplifting, escapist, evocative and enduring.
Fetching lady. You can tell that lady's man Dennis Wilson wants time with her, but she seems to be more drawn to Mike Love. Probably because Mike is taller and more mature.
I agree!! Al Jardine Is My 2nd favourite Beach Boy (Bruce is my favourite) and I honestly don’t get why so many Beach Boys fans don’t even pay attention to Al! He’s super talented and really cute and a nice guy and I just don’t get why people tend to ignore him.
11:47 looks like shots from "That Thing You Do" movie that Tom Hanks made. He really nailed the era, and calls his production company "Playtone" after the name of the record company in that movie. If you havent seen it, its a very well done movie of the 1963-4 era. "Almost Famous" is a very well done movie of the 1971 era. See them both.
wow!!!!! is all I can say. As someone that is constantly looking for new (well OLD) material this was one of the best finds ever! i wish that concert footage had audio :)
+BluetheWolfPuppy Ida B was famous in OK and interviewed many celebrities. I'm sure she just thought of them as boys, albeit talented. Dennis sure tried though, complimenting her on her dress.
@ 7:21 "Where do you boys go from here?" while flicking her jugular to release more pheromones. You have just witnessed a (not-so) subtle proposition. (like I'll tell you where you can go from here.. back to my room!) heheh... maybe not..
Legendary band from the 60s, love their music, way before my time, but still love the group thanks to their music with my grandparents when they grew up with their music
A rare gem! Interviewed in September 1964 on their South West USA Tour, Brian was 22, Dennis was 20 and Carl only 18 years old. It was a period of almost inconceivable musical productivity and growth by Brian.
Bellagio10452 lists shows in Oklahoma City on the 28th and 29th of August. This was 4/5 days after the release of When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)/She Knows Me Too Well single. They are not mentioning a show next day but its late August as per the gig dates.
There were portions of this interview on the show about Brian on PBS tonight; when she said Oklahoma I knew that it was the show at Springlake. Can't believe I found the full interview, Wow! Thank you so much for having this available.
@riv4life618 meant to say one of the very few video INTERVIEWS of them from that time. Haha gotta live Denny, even flirting with grown ups ((swoon)). Thank you SO, SO much for sharing this. And Ida "B" Blackburn for doing it!!!! Please don't ever take it down : ) Pure Gold
Seeing Brian here feels so weird (in a pleasant kind of way) - I just can't bring myself to associate him with his post-60's self. It's like he's a completely different person. Thanks for sharing the interview.
I know this was posted 8 years ago, but what was his post 60's self like? I vaguely know he was fucked off on drugs, and his (ab)use was legendary on par with Keith Moon, but not much else.
I wish I had seen the Boys when they were in Tulsa. They were here at least 2 times in the 60's. They were here at least once in about 1984 at Skelly Stadium. :) I hope some more interviews like this surface on youtube. This stuff is great!!
Thanks for finding and uploading this great video! Now I can get another glimpse of what was Brian like in the early days! Love his face in the beginning of the interview.
What a cool video to come across....thanks for whoever found this! A caveat....I did kinda skip through Mike's part.....not much of a fan. I lost my saxophone?!? I'm guessing the the rest of em were stoked it was gone.
THE SOUND (Audio) does start around 1'20. stay with it. A real moment of treasure these interviews are - Ida Blackburn does a great job too. Thank you KOCO
Watching them being interviewed around this time, you quickly realise that they were all just kids. Carl, for example, was only 17 at this time, and he certainly seemed like a 17 year old. Dennis, I think, was 19. But you look at that audience and the people who they played for, the Beach Boys appealed to people of all ages, and still do. There were some people out there who looked old enough to be their parents!
Great to see that the Brian from the 90s onwards was 100% the same guy, same mannerisms, same way of talking. There's a lot of nonsense said about how much he changed. He went through a hell of a lot but came out of it
I kind of wonder if he's really just somewhere on the autism spectrum and it's the years of abuse he suffered in childhood, drug abuse, and overmedicalization that led to him developing severe mental illness.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥. I love Dennis! Way underrated! And Love Brian - something about his looks, that smile 😍 and his voice and talent! I was too young to realize what these guys did when by the time I got old enough to listen - late 70’s. Did not ever realiE how great the original guys were back then or pay attention to who they were really - but I totally loved the MUSIC ALWAYS & spent many days of summer and all year enjoying them. Now days, it kills me that I didn’t pay attention. The utter talent and beauty of these guys - I’m overwhelmed with sadness as they are all gone now. Dennis, I feel very sad about - if only life took a different turn - I believe we missed out on many more songs he couldve written and produced. Gosh. His birthday is coming up… Dec 4th… so Dennis, Happy Birthday Handsome! I barely missed the thrill of you at a concert in 1985. 🥲. …by a several years there - would’ve been excellent. Didnlt even get to see Brian at the time as he was not touring anymore. That’s the breaks of being born after the 60’s I guess. Anyway - RIP - We love you. Still!!! . Happy heavenly Birthday Denny!
Totally amazing! Mike was actually pretty well behaved during this. As far as Ida...this clip goes to show that you didn't have to have much talent to be a host, or even pay attention to anything for that matter, at least back then. Thanks for sharing.
@@Gardosunron They were struggling not to laugh at her while thinking "what the heck lady! Ask some real questions and not what a 5 year old would ask...or just leave us alone!"
What did Brian say, beginning at 4:40? " I write the music first and then I write the lyrics over the music." He did not say MIKE writes the lyrics, he said I write the lyrics. Case closed.
"Well you certainly are a talented young man."
Lady, if you just knew the masterpiece he was going to make 2 years later...
Der Eremit in Griechenland lmao true
@@imanshumpert2724 He would begin writing Pet Sounds within months of this interview :D
Wow...
Even if Brian thought that, he would have been too humble to say it. Brian is a lot of things, but arrogant isn't one ot them
@@impalaman9707 Most definitely! He even once said, “Some people say that I’m a genius. I’m not a genius, I just work really hard.”
It's funny to see Brian and Carl so politely answering the questions while on the back Denis is getting drunk and having fun.
Typical Dennis XD
Get ‘em, Dennis!
Dennis answers questions later and I think the interviewer was attracted to him too. Definitely flirting.
And of course Mike hits on her

Love Dennis complimenting this lady on her beautiful dress 😏
As young as she looked, she was at least 15 years his senior. So this is more like Eddie Haskell flirting with June Cleaver
Yeah Dennis he was the ladies man always has the compliments
@@philiphoward1731 a shmoozer for sure.
Thinking he was complimenting more than the dress :-)
No bra btw
Rip Carl and Dennis Wilson.
Amen✝️❤️🙏
Gosh, Brian Wilson was a gorgeous young man!!
All three Wilson brothers were really handsome until they went all hairy and hippy.

"the elderly lead singer of the Beach Boys"
how prophetic, Mike.
He was 23 going on 43 with that bald head!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guys we are living in the end times rn
Jesus can return anytime soon. SO PLEASE TURN TO THE LORD
He's waiting and Loves you very much ✝️l
Carl's eye expressions: looking upward when he is thinking, and kind of blinking. He still did that in interviews late in life.
At least Carl isn’t looking downwards! Upwards is the way they need to think, move, and perform! 😊❤
@@AprilShowers1955 We all have our ways, and this is Carl's. Just an observation. What a sweetie he was.
Dennis is so charming with the ladies. He is my second imaginary date after Brian.
+Myra1959 My favourite two Beach Boys as well. Dennis was testosterone on legs, Brian is a lovely, sweet, gentle, sensitive soul x

What word did I make up? I used all normal English words. Calm down you psycho, people like you are the reason people are leaving churches.
This is precious beyond belief. Love how she keeps trying to attach "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" to the Beach Boys. They're amused and good natured about being associated with their buddies Jan and Dean...
It made it to their Concert album!
I admire Brian for being so humble.
That had to be to make up for Mike Love.
Dennis would make any California boy proud.
Brian is such a good dude, always respectful and cool
Charming reporter. Soft on the eye. Charismatic. And she asks good questions too!
I admire Carl, I can't believe that this young fella, almost a kid, later will sing great songs like "Wild Honey" or "Break way".
Not to mention “God Only Knows!” Easily his best vocal performance ever IMO
Good Vibrations HELLO
Surfs up too, he is truly amazing

The Beach Boys often or always performed Little Old Lady in their concerts, including this one, so the mistake is understandable.
We don’t have young men like them anymore it’s hard to find. Kind and respectful
And cute!
you are awesome Nat
Plenty of "Dennis Wilsons" around
She actually let Al talk a lot. Good interviewer.
I agree! However I could tell she did seem to like Dennis more because she seemed a little more friendly with him compared to Al.

He’s my 2nd favourite Beach Boy (Bruce being my favourite) and I don’t get how a lot of people don’t like Al. 😟
When you listen to how many songs Brian Wilson wrote at the time it pretty much proved that he was the heart and soul of The Beach Boys.
Dennis sounded like a combination of Brian and Carl.
Probably because he’s the middle child.
I've always loved the way the Wilson brothers talked, their voices always sounded so pleasant and sweet!
"Our target audience is teenagers"..."Most of the girls listening are probably married".
Josh H that’s the 60s for you 😂
Wow, Dennis is especially adorable here. If I was in this lady's shoes I would've definitely flirted back after that dress compliment, then tbc off camera.. lol..
She probably didn't like it that he was shorter than her.
Cuteness overload
I think the interviewer implied she thought Mike was hot.
Hows that possible
FUCK YES MIKE LOVE!
The interviewer seems to really like Jan & Dean's "Little Old Lady from Pasadena".
It was a really popular and quirky novelty song at the time. Even my own grandmother at the time loved it! Go granny go granny go granny go.
The Beach Boys were playing it in concert. She obviously thought it was a Brian Wilson original
@@judyreyes9250 I remember hearing it while on Colorado Blvd. while we were on vacation in California.

Dennis always charming the ladies...
I love The Beach Boys and their sound. What a wonderful group. Their album was the first record album I ever purchased at age 13 in 1964.
These are such sweet interviews. The lady asked good questions.
Obviously, this was before Brian's breakdown which occurred on December 23, 1964. He looks and sounds great here. What a sad life he ended up having after his nervous breakdown happened. It wasn't wasted, just sad.
the beach boys were THE all west coast american group...in europe, back in the mid 1960`s, we saw them as typical american youths, handsome, healthy, wholesome (long before tales of drugs, alcohol addiction etc.)..surf loving...images of trendy cars, girls, beaches, sunshine, warmth, beach games, suntans, shiny teeth, friendly, harmony....they looked like typical television youngsters and we could identify with them, knowing all too well that our real world was often dull, grey, cold and grim....they represented a golden time on the west coast of america...their music recalls that glorious period and is uplifting, escapist, evocative and enduring.
Yes, Dennis was a dream boat!
Fetching lady. You can tell that lady's man Dennis Wilson wants time with her, but she seems to be more drawn to Mike Love. Probably because Mike is taller and more mature.
The presenter and Mike Love look seconds away from making out.
Maybe she end up making Mike's dinky stinky.
Jake Britt: I'm sure she did. Discreetly.
And older. She makes it a point to mention that he’s the oldest.
Fantastic interview that I've never seen before. Also, Ida B is one gorgeous lady.
Everyone talks about how charming dennis is, but al jardine was a gorgeous man back then
I agree!! Al Jardine Is My 2nd favourite Beach Boy (Bruce is my favourite) and I honestly don’t get why so many Beach Boys fans don’t even pay attention to Al! He’s super talented and really cute and a nice guy and I just don’t get why people tend to ignore him.
@@reevie3463 He was barely hanging on even at this tender age ..and you could tell he was going to be ghastly as he got older.
The band at the end of this video were the Kingston Trio. A folk band. Tom Dooley was their most famous song.
I was wondering who they were .Thanks for clearing that up
And Greenback Dollar. That was my favorite.
They also did a version of Sloop John B several years before the Beach Boys.
Dennis, you flatterer.
He wanted to bang this chick and so did the "elderly" Mike Love
Awesome I could watch these BB videos all day
Carl was still in high school! He was a baby!
When they first started in 1961, he was just 14. Truly the shy, sweet young baby of the bunch :-)
Cool interview. I wish there were more interviews of Brian at that time
11:47 looks like shots from "That Thing You Do" movie that Tom Hanks made. He really nailed the era, and calls his production company "Playtone" after the name of the record company in that movie. If you havent seen it, its a very well done movie of the 1963-4 era. "Almost Famous" is a very well done movie of the 1971 era. See them both.
Yes! They are both AMAZING!!! My favorites!
Dennis was one cool cat.
wow!!!!! is all I can say. As someone that is constantly looking for new (well OLD) material this was one of the best finds ever! i wish that concert footage had audio :)
Yes! Who knows what happened to that..
Great interviewer, she obviously felt a lot older than the boys which is why she mentioned "The little old lady from Pasadena" about four times. 😎
Surprised that the lady wasn't flirting hardcore with Dennis. Most of the ladies loveddd Dennis!

Ida B was famous in OK and interviewed many celebrities. I'm sure she just thought of them as boys, albeit talented. Dennis sure tried though, complimenting her on her dress.
+ed slott Myke smashed that. In the early days, Mike and Dennis were competing for pussy.
She seems much older than Dennis so she most likely saw him as a boy.

Aileen styles. Older people usually are condescending towards younger people.

The outfits the Beach Boys wore in this video were considered their signature style at the time.

Carl Wilson was a senior in high school and he had the composure of a thirty year-old. Many high school seniors nowadays sound like they're twelve.
Counterpoint: no they don’t. But it was staggering to hear Carl say he was in 12th grade
I think it's because most teenagers don't need to have much responsibility, which is the opposite of someone in a successful band.
why does Al Jardine not look like a gremlin in this video?
jonnoble53 we dont know really
Because he was only 22.
jonnoble53 it’s from the side
He always looked like that. Being short didn’t help.
He never has looked like a gremlin
Like the Beach Boys but what a treat, what a delight to watch Ida do her complete interview of the band. Of course Dennis finds her attractive 😂
Charming just charming.
Great video and possibly one of the funniest comments sections in all of RUclipsry!!
RUclipsry??...you are hilarious!😂😂👍
Brian Wilson must have been the heart throb!
THE SOUND (Audio) does start around 1'20. stay with it. A real moment of treasure these interviews are - Ida Blackburn does a great job too. Thank you KOCO
Great insight into the early days of the the Beach Boys
Watching them being interviewed around this time, you quickly realise that they were all just kids. Carl, for example, was only 17 at this time, and he certainly seemed like a 17 year old. Dennis, I think, was 19. But you look at that audience and the people who they played for, the Beach Boys appealed to people of all ages, and still do. There were some people out there who looked old enough to be their parents!
Dennis admiring her dress :-)
He was smooth. "May I compliment you on your dress?"
ASMR UNIVERSE That's my aunt your talking about...
@@daisyjane1070 and then "Is that a dress or a gown?" oooh
He came in so smooth
Great to see that the Brian from the 90s onwards was 100% the same guy, same mannerisms, same way of talking. There's a lot of nonsense said about how much he changed. He went through a hell of a lot but came out of it
I kind of wonder if he's really just somewhere on the autism spectrum and it's the years of abuse he suffered in childhood, drug abuse, and overmedicalization that led to him developing severe mental illness.
Wow Brian was nervous as hell in that interview.
BEACH BOYS LA MÁS GRANDE BANDA AMERICANA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS ❤️🇺🇸
Beautiful lady not condescending....actually sounds interested in what they do! Nice interview!
Incase anyone was wondering this interviewer lived till 84, died in 2016
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥. I love Dennis! Way underrated! And Love Brian - something about his looks, that smile 😍 and his voice and talent!
I was too young to realize what these guys did when by the time I got old enough to listen - late 70’s. Did not ever realiE how great the original guys were back then or pay attention to who they were really - but I totally loved the MUSIC ALWAYS & spent many days of summer and all year enjoying them.
Now days, it kills me that I didn’t pay attention. The utter talent and beauty of these guys - I’m overwhelmed with sadness as they are all gone now.
Dennis, I feel very sad about - if only life took a different turn - I believe we missed out on many more songs he couldve written and produced. Gosh.
His birthday is coming up… Dec 4th… so Dennis, Happy Birthday Handsome! I barely missed the thrill of you at a concert in 1985. 🥲. …by a several years there - would’ve been excellent.
Didnlt even get to see Brian at the time as he was not touring anymore. That’s the breaks of being born after the 60’s I guess.
Anyway - RIP - We love you. Still!!! . Happy heavenly Birthday Denny!
Totally amazing! Mike was actually pretty well behaved during this.
As far as Ida...this clip goes to show that you didn't have to have much talent to be a host, or even pay attention to anything for that matter, at least back then.
Thanks for sharing.
I don’t know Ida from Adam, but she’s pleasant
Mike is humbled here. Then his ego inflated worse in the later years
I thought she did a good job.
@@Gardosunron They were struggling not to laugh at her while thinking "what the heck lady! Ask some real questions and not what a 5 year old would ask...or just leave us alone!"
Thank You myra1959 for info on who those 3 musicians were, Wow The Kingston Trio. Thanks Again !!!
It's kinda cool to see them being interviewed when they were young. I've never seen this footage before, where did it come from?
A great find! Thanks so much!
Dennis is so charming here 🥰
What did Brian say, beginning at 4:40? " I write the music first and then I write the lyrics over the music."
He did not say MIKE writes the lyrics, he said I write the lyrics.
Case closed.
Adorable - thank you for posting - loved this especially since there was No mention of that weird Mike love.
