I took my daughter to a Vince Gill concert many years ago. She was 7 at the time. We had tix to a meet and greet dinner prior to the show. She was the only child in the dining room. There was a long line of people waiting to get a pic and autograph from Vince. I decided we would just stay at our table and let it all die down and maybe catch him as he was almost done. After a little bit, he excused himself from the line and came over to our table, got down on a knee and started talking to my daughter. Signed the cd cover we brought (When love finds you) and took pics with us. Nothing but class.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Mr. Gill. It sounds like many of the things I have heard about him. I have seen him in concert and he it an amazingly gifted talented man. Thank you so much for stopping by to watch and listen to this video :))
Possibly the greatest performance in music history. Not hyperbole. Brian’s original song is brilliant. Vince Gill’s beautiful voice take it into the stratosphere.
"Warmth of the Sun" IMHO is the most hauntingly beautiful song to ever be delivered by the Beach Boys. Yet somehow, Vince Gill is able to take it to another level while paying tribute and remaining faithful to the original. All with the seeming ease of a stroll in the park! Great performance and great post. Many thanks for both!
Well said. Gill in an interview states he did he his best work when he was just outside his comfort zone. He may look cool here but I bet he is nervous.
@@jasonphillips6877 he's still good I love it it's so much it's looks like it was put in movie theater in new show documentary about biography book club fun more information on maze's contact info conjuring sent from hollywood mail in Android accounts from hollywood and pay the same place
Oh, I so agree with you. What a pure song, what a pure vocal. The harmonies are beautifully the Beach Boys. I never get tired. I listen to it over and over.
Effortlessly done, with his hand in his pocket!! This is an incredibly hard song to sing and it didn't seem to even challenge him. Vince is fantastic...
You are so right... I make a lot of vocal covers...I've been working on this one for a while... One of the hardest to sing without forcing it... Somewhere in between regular voice and falsetto... Vince is amazing!
I’ve loved The Beach Boys since my teens and always loved this hauntingly beautiful song - this rendition is every bit one of the greatest vocal performances I’ve ever heard. Wow. A real stunner. Will now be on all of my playlists.
I was originally unfamiliar with Vince Gill prior to this tribute concert. But he's won mad respect from me ever since this utterly flawless performance. It still gives me chills to listen to.
Go pull up any of his joints on RUclips. You will not hear another voice like him. Incredible singer. FYI, also a phenomenal guitar player. Dude can pick it.
What a tribute by Vince Gill to this phenomenal song by Brian Wilson..🫠 If ever a voice could enhance an already beautiful masterpiece.. Vince Gill's voice has done just that... so dreamy.🫠
I never would have thought than a BB tune could be covered better than the original, but Gill has come as close to doing just that with his version of Warmth of the Sun. This is a special song for me. Hearing it instantly transported me back 60 years to my 7th grade dance class. I remember dancing to this tune (BB’s version) with my then squeeze, Pam. We reconnected at our 2009 40th HS reunion and kept in touch until her passing in 2016.
"Warmth of the Sun" IMHO is the most hauntingly beautiful song to ever be delivered by ANYBODY! TRUTH. SOOOO Beautiful. My favorite song ever! Vince Gill & Brian Wilson's band do an AMAZING, beautiful version! My mom LOVED this version as do I. WONDERFUL!
I'm not a fan of country music or musicians, but Vince Gill did a wonderful job with his rendition of the Beach Boys song, The Warmth of the Sun. I very much enjoyed it!
Yes ...ths is Brian's band. I have seen them 12 times since 2000. Some members have changed now in 2022 due to death , sickness resigning ( Taylor Mills) the blond lady.
Everything about this is right. Superb song, great band and an absolutely stellar lead vocal from Vince Gill. As close to perfection as live music can be. Blown away !
I grew up, listening to this song, and a whole lot of Brian Wilson's songs. Vince NAILED it, here! Carl may just agree with me. (Man, I miss Carl Dean and Dennis Carl!) steve
I don't remember ever listening to this beautiful song prior to this 2001 tribute. Vince Gill killed it here and on "Surfs Up". What classics. What a musical gift Brian Wilson has been to us all.
I often wonder why God is interested in us or why Jesus would have thought humans worth saving then I hear music like this.... ,hear lyrics that wring tears from my heart and I think I know why
This was absolutely beautiful! I have loved The Beach Boys since the 1960’s, lucky enough to know their music since the beginning and this is one of my favorite songs by them. Vince Gil’s voice just placed it over the top!
Yes, I have been a Beach Boys fan from the beginning as well. Have seen them in concert more than 20 times over the years. Every one was very special. Thanks so much for watching :)
Written on 11-22-63. Brian Wilson said his mood became melancholy later that afternoon when he heard the bad news...and so he wrote about losing love, something teens could relate to.
As Mr Sinatra once said, " Folks, you can wait around & hope, but you'll not ever hear the likes of this, again. " He surely had Vince Gill, with BW's great, great band , in mind. -----WolfSky9, 75 y/o
A wonderful rendition, such a superb voice.I like the way Vince smiles at 1.58...as much as to say "Give me something difficult to sing will you, cop for this ! "
I had forgotten to give Vince a proper thank you for his earliest successes when he was with the Pure Prairie League, their "Live Taking the Stage" album was/is and forever will be on my playlists. They actually sounded much better live than on the studio album, and to anyone who listened to that live album knew Vince was going to be a phenomenal success.
Absolutely brilliant vocal performance. I know the song is supposed to be optimistic, but Vince’s voice makes me hear the heartbreak. It’s beautiful sadness. If Vince ever leaves the Eagles, he would make a great Beach Boy.
I cannot get over how stunningly beautiful Vince Gil made this cover sound...and Brian Wilson and the rest were absolutely pleased. I keep replaying this video every few months because it is so tearfully beautiful. Thank you Vince Gil.❤😊🙏🏻
This is an absolute monster. Sad, melancholic original song, stunning vocals by Vince. What more can you ask for. Maybe one thing: this should on Spotify
Hi there. I believe the gentleman that looks like Christopher Cross is actually Jeffrey Foskett, who used to be in Brian's band. When he was heavy, he bore a strong resemblance to Cross.
At a book signing in 2016, once I stepped up to get mine signed, I said to Brian, "I want you to know that The Warmth Of The Sun is one of my comfort blanket songs, in down times. He immediately looked up at me, smiled and thanked me. This cover by Vince goes right through you and another that is in my tenor wheel house vocally. Pay attention folks, these icons are slowly moving on to the next level. I have been lucky enough in life to have met all my heroes and for that I am eternally grateful 🙏
The beautiful song, perfect band, and Vince's unmatched voice makes this a stunning musical accomplishment. But for all that, it's the smile and little wave to the audience as he takes the stage that really shows the humility of Vince Gill, and most makes me love this performance.
Brian began the melody for this Masterpiece on the evening of 11/22/1963 , a Friday I'll never forget. As he played it for Mike Love, the idea began in his mind, as how to approach the lyrics. he came upon the idea of a love that is lost, because the girl didn't feel the same way as the guy did. But instead of despairing, Mike turned it onto something hopeful, & indeed, beautifully sad. They created a pure 100% masterpiece. --------------MJL, 77 y/o
Vince Gill's sheer genius talent puts real warmth in "Warmth of the Sun" making this Beach Boys song writing and lyrics even more a double genius package! Fortunately preserved on youtube. I understand this song was written influenced by JFK's assassination. Hey! What about his brilliant backing muso's and singers? Perfecto magic !
VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG WITH A BEAUTIFUL MELODY. SINGS THE SINGER VINCE GILL. A GREAT PERFORMANCE IN FRONT OF A LARGE HAPPY CROWD. THIS SONG IS ANOTHER LOVE STORY : SHE LEFT HIM BUT HE'S STILL FEELING THE WARMTH OF THE GOOD SUN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JIM FOR THIS NICE SONG. ALL THE BEST FOR YOU. SARA.🌄🎵🎶🌻🌻
If I passed away this evening and this was the last song i ever heard I would have heard the best .
So beautiful.

Supposedly it has something to do with the Kennedy assassination but I forgot sakes can't tell what
Vince sings like an angel and plays guitar like the devil. A most perfect musician to me.
This should be in a space capsule for the universe to hear.
AMEN!!
I could listen all day to Vince Gill singing Brian Wilson’s song. Made in Heaven for both artists
Possibly the greatest performance in music history. Not hyperbole. Brian’s original song is brilliant. Vince Gill’s beautiful voice take it into the stratosphere.
100% agree
I try to listen to this video every six months. Same impact - awe.
His voice is like cutting melted butter
You know nothing about music.
The only person who is brilliant in this is Vince Gill.

Oh, I so agree with you. What a pure song, what a pure vocal. The harmonies are beautifully the Beach Boys. I never get tired. I listen to it over and over.
I'd say Cabinessence and Old Master Painter/You Were My Sunshine are more haunting yet beautiful songs
Effortlessly done, with his hand in his pocket!! This is an incredibly hard song to sing and it didn't seem to even challenge him. Vince is fantastic...

@@justsingit72 I'd kill for his voice lol
@@justsingit72 if you ever post your cover Len I'd love to hear it.
Yes incredibly difficult…for you.
That’s there to help him hit the high notes…
The highest tribute to Brian wilson.
No tribute to Brian Wilson will ever be as good as Brian Wilson
Yes indeed!
May God bless Brian Wilson.
I’ve loved The Beach Boys since my teens and always loved this hauntingly beautiful song - this rendition is every bit one of the greatest vocal performances I’ve ever heard. Wow. A real stunner. Will now be on all of my playlists.
I tried to keep an open mind because it's my favorite BB song and Vince delivered!!!!❤
he just nailed it with his golden tenor voice!
This is RIDICULOUS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 absolutely stunning and beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was originally unfamiliar with Vince Gill prior to this tribute concert. But he's won mad respect from me ever since this utterly flawless performance. It still gives me chills to listen to.

@@ReverendBrown.I could not possibly agree more. 👍👍👍👍👍
Best ever rendition of the warmth of the sun.
The best ever, hands down. This performance floored me. I was in awe.
What a tribute by Vince Gill to this phenomenal song by Brian Wilson..🫠
If ever a voice could enhance an already beautiful masterpiece.. Vince Gill's voice has done just that... so dreamy.🫠
Well said. A masterpiece, for sure. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :))
@@nipstertunes you're welcome.. thank you for sharing this video with us.❤
Met Vince in person when her was on tour with Conway Twitty so many years ago. Vince is the only other singer that could do this song justice.
OMG!!! I could listen to him sing every day....his voice could melt butter!
That's a grand slam. What a tenor.
I never would have thought than a BB tune could be covered better than the original, but Gill has come as close to doing just that with his version of Warmth of the Sun.

Vince Gill & Brian Wilson's band do an AMAZING, beautiful version! My mom LOVED this version as do I.
WONDERFUL!
Yes, a beyond classic song, for sure. Mr. Gill has such a beautiful voice that fits this incredible song perfectly. Thanks so much for your comments!
Best rendition in my opinion. Thanks for The Beach Boys!
Brian in his prime wayyy better..no mic help or trickery..and this guy is great!
Vince Gill has an Amazing/ Beautiful voice. He’s now with the 🦅 Eagles. God bless you and your Family. ❤
I'm not a fan of country music or musicians, but Vince Gill did a wonderful job with his rendition of the Beach Boys song, The Warmth of the Sun. I very much enjoyed it!
Gorgeous ----------one of BW's & Mike's finest, ever. A heart breaker, gorgeously done.
The story is that they wrote it upon hearing the news of the JFK assassination ... that very night
Mike? Who’s Mike? This is Brian Wilson through and through.
Who else could perform this song so well?
NO ONE
The Beach Boys!!
I have looked around to see if anyone can do this song other than Vince Gill. I discovered a few...not much at all.
Really classy for Vince to turn around at 3:17 and give the band a round of applause. Their harmonies were awesome!
I think this is Brian's band he uses, although they don't mention who is playing here.
@@michellekosek1721 Yes, I believe you are right. I think I've seen some of these musicians in other videos where Brian is playing live.
Yes ...ths is Brian's band. I have seen them 12 times since 2000. Some members have changed now in 2022 due to death , sickness resigning ( Taylor Mills) the blond lady.
What a performance. What a voice and a fabulous tribute to the Genius of Brian Wilson. So beautiful and haunting
Everything about this is right. Superb song, great band and an absolutely stellar lead vocal from Vince Gill. As close to perfection as live music can be. Blown away !
Absolutely beautiful. He is a treasure.
I didn't think I would like any other rendition of this beautiful song other than the Beach Boys. But Vince..... gorgeous
I grew up, listening to this song, and a whole
lot of Brian Wilson's songs.
Vince NAILED it, here!
Carl may just agree with me.
(Man, I miss Carl Dean and
Dennis Carl!)

This song is a favorite and the way he sings it is beautiful. The harmony is just great I play it over and over. Vince is so talented. Keep singing
Beautifully done, with total class. KUDOS to the band, & Vince.
Amazing! What a voice! Comes very close to Brian's original vocal performance.
What a wonderful cover of a truly magnificent song
Written on 11-22-63. Brian Wilson said his mood became melancholy later that afternoon when he heard the bad news...and so he wrote about losing love, something teens could relate to.
Vince can sing anything!! He's my hero!!
As Mr Sinatra once said, " Folks, you can wait around & hope, but you'll not ever hear the likes of this, again. " He surely had Vince Gill, with BW's great, great band , in mind. -----WolfSky9, 75 y/o
Man this guy. So talented. Amazing voice. Great person.
Never ever heard this one by anybody else cept the Beach Boys well done mate
Vince is so amazing, and this high song seems so effortless for him! Just beautiful!
Vince is killing me... and with his hand in his pocket. So, so, so good. (Hello, Probyn!)
Blows me away that he can bring it like that live, best tribute of the song I ve heard.
A wonderful rendition, such a superb voice.I like the way Vince smiles at 1.58...as much as to say "Give me something difficult to sing will you, cop for this ! "
I really didn't think anyone could pull this off but the BB, I was totaly wrong . Vince G did a fabulous job he knocked it out of the park, wow!
That is an incredible performance. Bravo Sir!
Excellent job Vince...love the harmonica
This has been one of my favorite songs since the Beach Boys did it many many years ago. Vince does an awesome job with it too.
Beautiful rendition, perfect dynamics and tasteful inflections (he didn’t fall into the trap of “over-singing” like many vocalists do to show off).
The most beautiful version I’ve ever heard
It gave me goosebumps
This old guy also. It lets me close my eyes and see my beautiful daughter I lost at such a young age and see her smile when I close my eyes. Magic❤
This is incredible, who could pull this off other than a young Brian? Sublime is the only word to describe this.
So beautiful Jim - RIP Carl & Dennis
Gives me chills, Karen. Thanks so much for listening.
Did Carl sing this song on the original studio cut?
Great backup singers to the incredible voice of Vince Gill.
I had forgotten to give Vince a proper thank you for his earliest successes when he was with the Pure Prairie League, their "Live Taking the Stage" album was/is and forever will be on my playlists. They actually sounded much better live than on the studio album, and to anyone who listened to that live album knew Vince was going to be a phenomenal success.
Some people should live forever!
Oh my gosh! What a stunning tribute with a song that is so divine to begin with. Beautifully done!!!!
Music to heal us.
Absolutely brilliant vocal performance. I know the song is supposed to be optimistic, but Vince’s voice makes me hear the heartbreak. It’s beautiful sadness. If Vince ever leaves the Eagles, he would make a great Beach Boy.
When Vince opened up this song, I honestly thought it was a musical instrument playing! 😊👍👍
I cannot get over how stunningly beautiful Vince Gil made this cover sound...and Brian Wilson and the rest were absolutely pleased. I keep replaying this video every few months because it is so tearfully beautiful. Thank you Vince Gil.❤😊🙏🏻
This pretty much cenents my view of Vince as one of the musical greats of our time.
Vince Gill has such an amazing and versatile vocal range. He sings this
this beautiful song right from his heart .
I thought Vince only sang country. I was impressed.
This is an absolute monster. Sad, melancholic original song, stunning vocals by Vince. What more can you ask for. Maybe one thing: this should on Spotify
Christopher Cross playing guitar and singing back up...not too shabby. Vince, Ronnie Dunn, and Roy Orbison are my three favorite vocalists 😎
Hi there. I believe the gentleman that looks like Christopher Cross is actually Jeffrey Foskett, who used to be in Brian's band. When he was heavy, he bore a strong resemblance to Cross.
Beautiful!! Vince has a great depth of soul and interpretation... I'm sure Brian Wilson would love this! ❤
Brian was in the balcony applauding
Class act right there
Great song sitting outside in the rain in San Diego alone.
At a book signing in 2016, once I stepped up to get mine signed, I said to Brian, "I want you to know that The Warmth Of The Sun is one of my comfort blanket songs, in down times.
