I love his “Surfs up” cover. What a voice!
Vince Gill is just the best. Brian Wilson is a legend. This is a great interview. Rock on our awesome #1 Beach Boy!
This is one of my favorite Brian Wilson songs, and Vince Gill's performance was stunning. I've watched it many, many times.
Vince Gill nailed that song
😊 Vince Gill just crushed it - borrowed it from the angels that night.
What Vince did was perfection! Amazing.
Great job by Vince. Carl Wilson sang it live many times
On of my all time favs doing a song by another of my all time favs
Great interview. I don't know how anybody can sing Surf's Up, but Vince did a great job on it in the concert. Brian and his band performed it live for awhile after he finished and released the completed Smile album.
The Beach Boys did do "Surf's Up" live in the early 70's, when Brian wasn't touring with them.
"surf's up" is new to me . I'm in a Beatles obsession and so obviously I know that Paul McCartney loves Pet Sounds and also "surf's up" was the favorite song of Bob Welch (my favorite guitar/singer Fleetwood Mac ever had)😊
A gem, right? Love Surfs Up!!!
I saw The Beach Boys perform Surf’s Up at the Arena in St Louis in 1975 with Chicago. The Chicago brass section played with The Beach Boys during the performance of the song,
Hi Brian
Vince is the husband of legendary musician Amy Grant, a Kennedy Center Honoree.
Imagine having to master (or at least tune out) the multiple fractional tempo changes in the middle section if you didn’t grow up obsessing over the song and had to learn in in a short time….haha. Like Sinatra trying to learn Lush Life on the fly…lol.
He sung it great. Coolest Surf's Up cover overall goes to the Punch Brothers though
It was first called Land Locked.
The album, I think, not the song, which predated the 1971 album by that name, and which was to be a focal point for one of three suites on SMiLE in 1967.
