I stood at the Beach Boys Commemorative Plaque on the side of the 90 freeway where it all began. I was there back in summer of 2000. Their house used to be there. I got there by chance when I was looking to take the 90 Marina Freeway to connect out to Orange, in Orange County to visit my girlfriend at the time. I took a turn that was wrong and missed the onramp. I was pleased and let down all at the same time. LOL ...😀🏝 They say that the Beach Boys were actually living in Hawthorne California...Manhattan Beach is better, ya. I heard Surfing was born in Huntington Beach CA.
While I have seen and heard most of these clips prior to now, having them put together in a concise historical and chronological context in the video shared, is excellent. Keep up the good work!
Yes yes, but not only that. Any sentimental Hollywood-style to make us cry instantly approach is omitted. Instead a deep and new view on families and how to survive them.

To me The Beach Boys always had the greatest Harmony's when it came to singing.📻🎙.60's-70's-80's had the greatest music everybody was happy..The 60's had it's bad points with JFK- Vietnam War protesting but we always listen to music to block out things that were going on in the world..🎸🎹🥁🎼🎵🎛
I was born in '58 and didn't learn about the Beach Boys until maybe age 10-13 as my friends were top fuel and super stock racers before then and one Dad was our local drag strip announcer.
My dad played boogie woogie piano too. A style of music that has all but disappeared from social consciousness. He also called the stereo a "hi fi" until the day he died. But he got internet for us in 1995 too. I miss you daddy.
Back in the early 60's when I was just a little shaver the Beach Boys were America's band and the Beatles Britain's band. There was a battle of the bands going on between the two. Not so surprisingly the Beatles inevitably won hands down . They were the trendsetters of the British Invasion movement.
@@timothyburnett6424He needed a bit more than that, but Landy went overboard! He needed some protection & separation from any more drug & alcohol use for sure! Unfortunately that included much of what Dennis was engaged in! Have seen it in numerous families & childhood friends!
Landry was much worse than narcissistic. Horrible abuse of power lost him his medical license. He made Brian far worse than he needed to be, despite the drugs and other substances.
Yea imagine being in a band when someone else's father is telling you what to do, and signing publishing deals with his own son to keep the money in the Wilson family and keeping you out of it. Plus working with a bad member whose losing his mind doing drugs and another whose hanging out with Charlie manson. Mike was lead vocalist on most of the earlier big hits, so can't blame him for being screwed around by his cousins and their father. Blood was thicker than water and the Wilsons loved their crazy father, the rest of the band were stuck with him until they all realised he'd had his day and was no longer viable.
@@adrinathegreat3095 Actually it would have worked out great if Brian had fired Love at the same time as his father back then as both had outlived their usefulness to the group
“Don’t f**k with the formula.” Thank God Brian didn’t listen to the worst advice ever. Then No Pet Sounds. And no Sgt. Peppers. Yea good call Mike Love.
He created the band, taught them all how to sing from an early age and financed them, got them a recording contract and produced there first big hits, creating the beach boys sound, later he co-wrote with Brian a couple of song's. Funny thing is the fans hate him, but the Wilson brothers loved him. Murray was like most fathers from the 50s, strict and often violent towards his family, it's how life was, their was still racial separation during the time they grew up. But America portrayed to the world a kind of well to do middle class happy days scenario, shit was kept in the house, swept under the rug, what went on indoors stayed indoors, very different times
Show me a child who is abused by a parent that will say they don’ love their parent. I bet you can’t. The reality is that Murray was a monster to his sons. But mom was worse. She stood by and let it happen. The most important job for a mom is to protect her children. I don’t care if the rug is a mile long…you don’t pretend that your children are being abused. PERIOD
@@adrinathegreat3095who gives a shit about that other than record executives. The people of the real world’s opinion is what matters (and the music is legendary)
The music buyers didn't give a shit, the beach boys by then were had beens and heading for basically greatest hits to keep them going. The beatles were making them look stone age.
@@adrinathegreat3095 In England they were in the top 10 for 6 months after the album's release. As the saying goes, "No prophet is accepted in his hometown." People gave a shit, just not many Americans. And America loves to believe it's the only country that matters...
@@adrinathegreat3095 That didn’t happen till after Good Vibrations and the shelving of Smile. I blame Love for that as well. The Beatles at that time were a force of nature so it would be difficult for anyone to keep up but Brian went toe to toe with them for a while.
Brian is brilliant 👍🏻 i can see why the Beatles were on high alert, the Beach boys made great music. I love the Beatles more, but if it wasn't for pet sounds maybe we wouldn't have had Sgt. Peppers. The Beach boys I hear there songs but i never got into them. But again were definitely creative and prolific.👍🏻🎸
27:44 This actually isn’t true! Brian was always present heavily in recording after this period, hell he even went back on stage for a bit in 1967 to promote wild honey, as well as a brief show in 1970 to promote Sunflower which he basically directed 50% of! He even claims ‘Friends’ from 1968 was his second official solo album after pet sounds! Also you guys mixed up annotations with Van Dyke Parks, Mike Love & Tony Asher’s voice overs quite a few times here. (But overall, nice video :))
14:00 Brian Wilson was before Phil Spector. He created a type of wall of sound because he was deaf in one ear. Phil Spector was after him. The songs he did predate Phil Spector. His dementia is beginning in this documentary. I read a little bio on Brian Wilson and it states that is how he created a stereo effect, was over dubbing his music because he was deaf in one ear. It predates Phil Spector.
I was/am very happy for Brian to finish SMILE but it's just not my own cup of tea. I love Good Vibrations and God Only Knows and many others but i just don't "get" Smile. He's a "GENIUS" no doubt. And i disagree with him about that word. He is just being modest. I'd say a genius has a natural ability beyond what can be taught to a person.
My Idols were Little Richard The Beach Boys The Beatles among others with a list that includes Elvis Presley Ray Charles and Ricky Nelson for those that don't know there was a famous painter way back when at one point was called Man Ray 50 some years later from the time I first started back in 1986 my dad came up with this idea where they were inspired by the artist Man Ray and so they thought Ray and Ricky Nelson could really actually work took the name by then overtime that's how Rayman came to being and I've had it ever since
Bob Dylan once said "Don't criticize what you don't understand" - Well, I do it anyway: Brian fled into music out of fear of his strict father - Donny chose to break out of this puritanically mendacious society - Is that how legends are made? - That must be the reason why I didn't get rich - I was always true to myself and my humanity 🔱
The audio in this video sucks. The music is blaring, the voiceovers are whisper-quiet, and the commercials are blaring. I demand that you fix this and upload it again
Almost every father back then were like Brian's dad mine included and every single biography movie I have seen I've hated almost every one because it seems like every body hates each other I know that it's real life but I don't really like that
No mention of Charles Manson? Charlie made his own LSD and was the dealer to all the musicians up Laurel Canyon and BBs as well--he wanted into the music business! Dennis and Brian were scared to death of him. He threatened to kill em!
No, & nor should there be. Dennis was influenced by this creep & the free sex & drugs, but he was only in his company for 1 year, 18 months tops. People go on about Manson like he was in Dennis's life, for ALL his life. Dennis was more than that creep. Study his music & lyrics. He had learned his musical skills from Brian. Dennis was musically smart, intellectually smart too.
They wouldn't have wanted some crazy loose cannon spending days in bed and living in a fantasy world of paranoia, hearing voices and refusing to go on stage. They had a solid line up and a totally different outlook and upbringing, that came out in their music

Yea .... If I'm being completely honest I favor a song like "In My Room" as opposed to "Good Vibrations"...
One of the greatest groups, thank you for this video, hope to see more like this
I've been a Beach Boys fan from the time they first started back in 1962.
I was born in '58 and didn't learn about the Beach Boys until maybe age 10-13 as my friends were top fuel and super stock racers before then and one Dad was our local drag strip announcer.
Me too 👍
I am from Germany ..and a fan from the first time...love from the begining !!
Wonderful group. Been a fan for 50-some years.
Thanks for your dedicated and helpful video ❤️
My dad played boogie woogie piano too. A style of music that has all but disappeared from social consciousness. He also called the stereo a "hi fi" until the day he died. But he got internet for us in 1995 too. I miss you daddy.
The Beach Boys will ALWAYS symbolize the great culture of American music.
GOD BLESS BRIAN WILSON!
this video is very good and very underrated!
Like the beatles they were really good ! Each album was filled with lots of good songs ! My favorite was God only knows ! 🌟

Eugene Landy was the one who needed help more than Brian.
Brian just needed a friend. Sad

Lolllll
Loved it!
What’s revealing about the clip of Murray leaving the recording session is that he was not a big commercial guy. He truly loved music.
He created the band, taught them all how to sing from an early age and financed them, got them a recording contract and produced there first big hits, creating the beach boys sound, later he co-wrote with Brian a couple of song's.
Funny thing is the fans hate him, but the Wilson brothers loved him.

He should have loved his sons more

A direct quote from Mike “ who will listen to this shit, the ears of a dog.”
Now it’s “our” pet sounds album.
And a flop initially in the USA with poor sales in relation to its cost

Definitely one of the bands of all time
Brain Wilson
Brian's probably been suffering from dementia for years now. His late wife Melinda played a major role in helping Brian become a solo artist.
Handsome,Gifted, Awesome young gentleman!
If my memory serves me just as Brian Wilson was the Beach Boys main collaborator Bob Flanagan was the main collaborator of the Four Freshmen.
I really wish this had included bits on Surf's Up. That's easily my favorite Beach Boys album, and there is surely interesting context around it
Love the way Brian cusses so naturally. Always makes me laugh
Deffo mate😅
Brian's been cussing all his life!

So LSD is the thing that finished him off.

Wasn't Mike Love the other surfer in the Beach Bots ?
Bruce
I'm sorry but Dr. Landy didn't strike a right chord with me. 😢😮
8:05 Mike Love singing "Been lookin' so hard to find a brain"..
Murray Wilson was the white Joe Jackson
The one who really needs help is Mike Love
Something sounds off with the voices...
I agree
Probably changed the pitch to avoid copyright
@@artapollo3367 That's usually for the music
What version of Don't Talk plays in the end?
There was something about Eugene Landy that seemed a little off to me. He seemed like a real FRUIT LOOP.
Landy and several others wanted to gain Brian's confidence so they could partner with him in the pop music business. Landy was a con man.
@@gymshoe8862But there was a time when the BBs tricked Brian into getting back with Landy.
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
31:45 Jumpscare warning
They left out longtime group friend uncle Jessy?
John Stamos
HAVE MERCY!
Mike love invented everything 💀
This is Mike Love's Internet.
The audio in this video is very wonky
🌿❤️🌿
Way too many commercials
As far as I'm concerned Eugene Landy was in need of some serious help himself. 😢 😮
Was that Patrick Mahomes at 27 sec
I would also like to add a real FRUITCAKE too.
Mike love when he was 20 looked like he was 45😮
When KARMA caught up to Landy he lost his license and then died of lung cancer! As far as I'm concerned JUSTICE was SERVED. 😢😮😢😮
Its played out😊
Almost every father back then were like Brian's dad mine included and every single biography movie I have seen I've hated almost every one because it seems like every body hates each other I know that it's real life but I don't really like that

He doesn't belong in the Beatles
....They already had roadies!. 🤷

Didn’t Lennon spend a week in bed for peace?
You cant just join the Beatles.
