I am a fan of both the Beach Boys and Live From Here, and I have to say this version of Surf's Up is stunning. It is an incredibly difficult song to cover, and these musicians did it with their great talent and obvious reverence for the music, the original group, the composer and the lyricist. Well done, Chris Thile, I'm With Her, Ben Folds and the Live From Here house band. And well done Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks and the Beach Boys!

This is a superb rendition of a really difficult song to cover. Congratulations to Chris and his band for this memorable performance of a Beach Boys classic.
Well done Chris. This was recorded up in Tanglewood (Lenox, MA) on June 15th., 2019. Brian Wilson was to perform Pet Sounds the following day (Fathers Day June 16) yet the show had been cancelled due to Brians illness. A fabulous tribute to BW and the Beach Boys harmony. Well done. I had tickets to both LFH and BW the following day. Surf's Up was a great surprise for me. Thank you Chris and Crew!

This thoughtful performance led me down a rabbit hole of wonderful musical archaeology to Brian Wilson's original 1966 solo demo of this song. So grateful!!!
Can't stop listening to this! I still remember my first listen to SMILE in 2004. We will miss you, Serena Brook! What a way to go out on your last show!
Life From Here Thank you for this channel. I love how geeky and full of talent and beauty the show is. To be part of something like this is a musician's dream. I wish someday I can live in an artistic kind of family like this. And Chris is a genius!
These guys, Chris Thile etc, have caught the essence of Brian Wilson's most perfect creation, Surf's Up. This is a wonderful sound. Not yet perfect, but that will never be achieved, even by Brian at his time. I love the ending.
This was performed to honor composer Brian Wilson's birthday, which, appropriately, is June 20th, at the summer solstice. I'm so glad Brian's still around to celebrate his birthday!
I can't get the music from this last episode out of my head... between this and Im With Her... WOW!!! IWH is one of the most underrated bands out there!
Punch Brothers have also done an excellent live version: ruclips.net/video/BapL4OlGImE/видео.html Very happy to see Chris Thile perform this song again. I'm With Her was the perfect addition!

Blown away - thank you for doing justice with Brian Wilson's opus, Surf's Up... one of the most striking songs out there.
Out of everything that ended with the pandemic, live with here is probably what I miss the most
But those folk came up with some incredible work. It does feel like an end of an era, and I hope it comes back in some form.
Someone's gotta make fun of the Opry!

He drifts in and out of Brian’s and Carl’s versions like a strand of DNA. So great.
This is a superb rendition of a really difficult song to cover. Congratulations to Chris and his band for this memorable performance of a Beach Boys classic.
He hit the high note! Dang! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes he did! Twice!
Beautiful. The Vince Gil version is amazing too
What more proof does anyone need of Brian’s genius?? Another person covering it and I still sat watching and listening with my mouth open...
Dave Garcia World Yes, I love this song, I cry when I hear this lots of memories.
Seems that Chris enjoys singing this song a great deal. With his voice, how could he not? What a piece of music.
The talent on this stage is simply astounding. What a touching performance.❤️
His voice captures the vulnerability of Brian's original perfectly! A brilliant performance!
Carl sang the original.. just like “good vibrations”.
@@buddyblackmon7405 I was referring to Brian's original piano demo. It was featured in a program by Leonard Bernstein back in the day.
The only song to ever bring a tear to my eye the first time I listened to it. A masterpiece .
The original and the ‘04 Brian Wilson “Smile” remake always make me weep. So did this!
Well done Chris. This was recorded up in Tanglewood (Lenox, MA) on June 15th., 2019. Brian Wilson was to perform Pet Sounds the following day (Fathers Day June 16) yet the show had been cancelled due to Brians illness. A fabulous tribute to BW and the Beach Boys harmony. Well done.

The day this program left the airwaves was a dark one indeed. I miss it completely.

Great Cover of one of the best Songs ever!
God bless Mr. Brian Wilson!
Hats off to Mr. Mike Love
Thile and I'm With Her's vocal virtuosity and the brilliance of rhe composition leave me SPEECHLESS!
This thoughtful performance led me down a rabbit hole of wonderful musical archaeology to Brian Wilson's original 1966 solo demo of this song. So grateful!!!
I don't know any of these performers , but I do know "Surfs Up"- and this is spectacular!
The standout performance of an already amazing show. "Surf's Up" is my favorite Beach Boys/Brian Wilson song, and this rendition nailed it.
The musicians make the music the engineers create the mix. This is perfect! Chris Thile is in a class all by himself.
Critter's background/counterpoint vocals are superb...
Brian is my favorite composer, and Chris, one of the world’s greatest musicians. Match made in heaven
Probably my favorite Brian Wilson song, and this is a great version
Goosebumps! Absolutely amazing.
Stunning vocal..and the girls voices are an interesting surprise on this classic piece...fantastic effort
A great tribute.
man Thile can sing anything... love his vocal tone and the way he can belt notes. great backup crew here as well
You always remember where you were when you first heard this song!
Sent here by Brian Wilson's Twitter account.
A well done tribute to my favorite composition of Mr Wilson's.
Absolutely lovely. Thank you.
Lord have mercy that was simply breathtaking.
Can't stop listening to this! I still remember my first listen to SMILE in 2004.
We will miss you, Serena Brook! What a way to go out on your last show!
Excellent and it makes me think how immortal Brian's work is.
Life From Here Thank you for this channel. I love how geeky and full of talent and beauty the show is. To be part of something like this is a musician's dream.
I wish someday I can live in an artistic kind of family like this.
And Chris is a genius!
Brilliant!
If it was possible to upvote more than once I would.
Literally gave me chills. Well done!
Wow! You did it! That was gorgeous and moving and lovely
The BEST music is coming from this show!! Im With Her....WOW!!!
Beautiful version.
Brian sent me here. Phenominal cover ❤
These guys, Chris Thile etc, have caught the essence of Brian Wilson's most perfect creation, Surf's Up. This is a wonderful sound. Not yet perfect, but that will never be achieved, even by Brian at his time. I love the ending.
Hey wow. What a country.
Very difficult to sing this suite
Great performance
Beatles-like to a certain extend
Excellent
I like to think of it as the Beatles are more Beach Boy-like. If you think about it, Brian Wilson kind of paved the way for them to move forward.
Advertising aside, what a wonderful performance.
my favorite Beach Boys album . . . great choice & beautiful version . . .
genius recognizes genius...
My God, My God...this is just lovely. Thnax for posting
As I said four years ago, every time I watch this, it makes me cry
I’m with you on this! Superb, sublime, simple beauty. Chokes me up.
Shows great respect for the original 🤟🏼❤️
Oh my goodness 😃😃😃🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️ awesome voice and music artist
Props to the guitar player doubling the melody with Chris.
A MASTERPIECE!

Absolutely amazing performance. Thank you!
Great cover of Mike Loves masterpiece

Uuugh. It's. Just. So. Good.
Thank god for Chris Eldridge.
This was performed to honor composer Brian Wilson's birthday, which, appropriately, is June 20th, at the summer solstice. I'm so glad Brian's still around to celebrate his birthday!
Sarah J, Sara W and Aoife!!!
you knocked it out of the ballpark
Four Mike Love fans watched this video.
Now 10 :(
Adam, you're crazy. I can't believe a thumbs down either, but there's no such thing as a Mike Love fan.
@@mikebrison1838 If there's one thing that unites us all, it's that Mike Love sucks.
Is that "'I'm With Her" on backing vocals?
they did about 5 songs during that show... ck this out! ruclips.net/video/qbEfK-LsMSc/видео.html
Yes. Can't beat that!
This made me cry like the original..... a religious experience....
I can't get the music from this last episode out of my head... between this and Im With Her... WOW!!! IWH is one of the most underrated bands out there!
@@sharonmickey4566 "There's not a better band in the world" Chris Thile June 2019
Forever...BRIAN!
Brought me to tears as usual
Tears
Sublime
They were a great band too!
well done...so cool
Fair winds, Serena.
SO SO great!!
Fantastic
Wonderfull...
Wish I had been exposed to this work of art when I was young….would have def changed my musical tastes
Amazing!
Who is the guitarist to the left of Chris Thile. His voice is INCREDIBLE!!!
chris eldridge... from The Punch Brothers....
@@sharonmickey4566 Cool thanks. I since found out and have been checking his stuff out. He's amazing.
@@benduff8163 Punch Brothers and Im With Her!
pretty much nailed guys - so tricky
The attempt at closed captioning is hilarious.
oh my god i turned it on because if this comment and i'm losing it... "awaken to assault assault assault [Music]"
Class was raised the father was the former server monitor last toast
I have such a crush on Sarah Jarosz.
Punch Brothers have also done an excellent live version: ruclips.net/video/BapL4OlGImE/видео.html
Very happy to see Chris Thile perform this song again. I'm With Her was the perfect addition!
Once again superlative.
The end is supposed to say "A child is the father of the man". They say "A child is the man a father of".
wait a sec . . . forgot about Pet Sounds . . . OK maybe my 2nd favorite BB album . . .
Nice backup singers
He reminds me of The dude from rem
Please confirm, always wondered are back up singers singing My God, My God beginning of song? Excellent cover of another Brian Wilson masterpiece
"Bygone, bygone"
I think they are saying bygone, bygone.
Great performance of course but I wish I'm With Her had sung the "father of the man" refrain.
Bet that took a bit of practice.
1 person is a disgrace to humanity and I dislike them
what's up with the heavy back beat??? NO. It's messing up my head man!! The emphasis is on ONE.
I thought it was Finneas
billie eilishs brother
Goddam, I was enjoying that until the announcements started. How to ruin something great! 🤬
He is slow close
Absolute disgrace advertising through this.
