Beach Boys Campfire Acoustic Session - "Endless Summer" - FULL

Brian’s voice is loud and clear here and he sings tons of falsetto, despite some of the comments. Foskett is shadowing him for sure but Brian is doing it.

I totally didn't realize Fockett was even there until I read this. Thank you, kind person. Holy moly, that guy always looked approximately 53 years old.

When they broke into Surfer Girl, I think every hair on my body stood on edge. Amazing what they can do with basically just their voices.

[@Lauren-fj9cf]

I love how they all instinctively knew what harmonies they could contribute with unexpected songs like Be My Baby and Smoky Joes Cafe, just from having worked together so long and all Brian’s arrangements and working with them in the 60s

Jeff Foskett, a long time BB touring member and toured with Brian solo, covers Brian's vocals. He is to Brian's right and playing guitar. Sang many of Brian's parts on the 50 year tour I think as well. He has a very smooth falsetto

[@2011littlejohn1]

The nearest thing to this regarding their main competitors - The Beatles (albeit they admired each other) was when the 3 surviving Beatles sat on George's lawn with a ukulele and instantly remembered some song George had written in India. Made me think as I watched it ''The little buggers like friends again - what was the stupid break up about?'' - similar emotions come to mind watching these guys.

[@DanThomasUK]

There’s a lot of tension on George’s part in those Anthology videos. He needed whatever Brian was on on this day

Right at the end Brian said ..Hey, Dennis is good.. he still heard his voice singing too...lovely )))

[@nicholasbartonlaw341]

If Heaven has a clambake this is how I imagine it Gosh--how beautiful was Carl Wilson's voice. World class harmonies coming through. Brian's falsetto was always in that fine register that required scrupulous discipline to keep in check--especially considering his partial deafness. He pushed it early on and I am sure it was harder as he got older with even more hearing loss that comes with aging, but he is willing to go for it every time here. His love of music shines through. Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston have obvious talent. And that very interesting guy, Mike Love, with his wit and perfect singing voice, musicality the perfect complement to his cousins' guarded personalities and delicate dreamlike falsettos.

[@lanelannan7565]

I love this. It's so wholesome, especially considering the animosity between them today

[@gymshoe8862]

They were never at war, but they had some financial matters that needed to be settled. Some are inclined to hate for life, but there's no need for that.

this made this 64 year old guy tear up. Some of the best songs of my youth from the best group of my youth.... the guys enjoying each other, the families smiling and singing along. This was Americana, the one I grew up in,not the one we have now. How sad to have lost it. Play the Beach boys at my funeral. I loved their music and the mourners will too,lol.

@@dmer-zy3rb that's because " everyone" for some reason was into focusing and exaggerating on his negatives ( some that aren't even real !) same phenomena as with trump ( except with trump it's also by design ie democrat party , fake news media , establishment republicans etc. )

[@FSAPOJake]

​@@dmer-zy3rb I worked at a venue once that the current Beach Boys lineup was playing at, and Mike was extremely polite and friendly and was happy to indulge peoples' questions. I told him how much I adore his old unreleased version of Big Sur. He clashed with Brian a lot, but let's not forget that he was one of the main people who got Brian away from Landy. The movie skips over that detail.

[@jamescpotter]

It is so good to see and hear Carl! In a relaxed setting these guys were having fun.

[@bradleyallen533]

I grew up in the 60's. Low key, I always kind of liked the Beach Boys, but I was more of a British invasion fan. A month ago, I watched the movie and then played a live Beach Boys concert on You Tube. I woke up with a smile on my face. Since then, I've been You Tubing the band through the State of Washington, Washington, DC, Paris, Costa Rica, England, etc. My family gets worried now when I (living in Missouri) say things like "take your shoes off because it's not cool to wear shoes while you're surfing." They are like WTF? I am currently happily lost in a Beach Boys time machine. Belatedly, I realize, they weren't just "fun" ... they were groundbreaking geniuses who created a definitive style of music. And nobody could stop them. Not the Beatles, the drug culture or even Charles Manson. The mesh of brothers and cousins was God-ordained. Even the evil father reminds me of a scripture ... "What was intended for bad was turned into good." This year, I have had spinal surgery and two brain surgeries, but my heart is, nonetheless, lately lighter because of the BB's!!!

[@davidfriend4328]

Interesting moment when Brian suggests 'Be My Baby' and reminds Mike of his solo album from a few years earlier ('Looking Back with Love') and Mike puts his fingers to his lips and tries to suggest they sing something else. Brian doesn't seem to realise that Mike is embarrassed (either because the album flopped, or maybe it caused some friction with the others), and tries to assert his own ability to remember things.

[@DanThomasUK]

That or that Brian didn’t shut up about that song for decades

[@davidfriend4328]
