Brian Wilson God Only Knows Live 2021

God Only Knows live on 8-29-2021 at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center

[@mcmckenna4317]

I have seen quite a few comments in places since last night knocking Brian's voice. Last night he did really well. But you kow what? BrIan Wilson is alive. He is performing. And is continues to demonstrate that he is a true genius. Given what he has been through in his life, he could just be staying inside his house hiding from the world. It is a true blessing to be able to see him in person and to hear him sing. And I keep on having to say that his band is just incredible.

He sounds in really good voice, especially compared to one or two performances in recent years. Thank God for his existence and continued appetite to share his music.

Could not agree more. That was a bucket list moment for me. Does anyone have when they did don't worry baby. That moment was epic for me

👍🏻💕 he is a legend …

[@jazz_96]

Awesome that Brian went for that falsetto at 1:46 and 1:50! He’s sounding better and more in tune than he has in the last few years. Can’t wait to see him in October!

[@scottmatznick3140]

That's not Brian

[@michaelbruno5980]

Definitely Absolutely Positively Brian Wilson. It blew the Audience away. You can hear the reaction.

Brian really went for THAT falsetto. Damn.

[@jazz_96]

Amazing.

Not Brian

[@ZieVest90]

@@scottmatznick3140 Definitely Brian. Twice.

[@michaelbruno5980]

Definitely Brian on the first one. That’s why the audience applauded.. It literally brought tears to my eyes.. I Love Brian Wilson

[@ZieVest90]

@@michaelbruno5980 Brian actually nails the second one with Matt!

[@Northwestnowhere]

We have to be thankful that Brian (and Carl) Wilson existed at all and created such a masterpiece. Carl sang lead on the original. One can't expect a man 80 years old to sound like he (or his brother) did at 26 years old.

[@chrislynch8128]

Wow he actually went for the falsetto at 1:45. You can hear the crowd kinda like “whoa . . “ Good stuff

[@jaggass]

I guess Brian was thinking ''Lets still see if i can do it''. It's not as strong as it was used to be but to even have a bit of left at the age of 79 is nothing short of amazing. Most singers around his age don't even have it unless you're Cliff Richard and Barry Gibb.

[@kevinkiley6503]

This isn’t an easy song to sing- unusual intervals- movement throughout the scale- BrIan did this really well- having a year off seems to have given a jolt to his voice!

[@jaggass]

The break has done him good. When he performed God Only Knows at home last year during lockdown he sang in a much softer voice and managed to sing it much better. It's good to see him still going.

[@markelsuperbueno8126]

He never sings that much. I for one loved it. I was also there. Dude is not 25 man. I thought he was damn good

[@jaggass]

I've been to see Brian Wilson and have never cared how he sounded that night. I saw a living legend and danced the night away.

[@nicholas70paul]

Sounding good... Brian always surprises..

[@TomCosg]

Bloody hell.. I can't stop replaying from 1:45 - 1:55.. Totally blown away!

[@yaniingham-thomas5001]

He screams a bit lol

[@jakob_3646]

Brian is sounding slighly better than before

[@sheldonlevine6187]

A Genius

[@skee19]

Wow he sounds real good here

[@BeachBoys379]

Do you have the Setlist by chance?

[@MatCommand]

It was a pretty standard greatest hits show. Deeper cuts included Long Promised Road, It’s OK, Feel Flows, Add Some Music to your Day and Wake the World. Crowd was quite large and very appreciative!!

[@cthewave9955]

Are the Wondermints still touring with him? I recognize Darian. Was Blondie Chaplin here too that night?

[@Joey14584]

Yes and yes

[@yosserhughes139]

Is Matt Jardine still a part of the touring band?

[@TPSKurochi]

I believe he is the one left of Brian. With the Tambourine

[@sonicmaiden]

Lets be honest...sadly it doesn't sound that good. He has no breath.

[@JediMaddy94]

He started off a bit meh, but improved later. 1:50 was really good, surprised he can still do it in his 70s.

[@jaggass]

@@JediMaddy94 Brian is capable of anything. He's always full of surprises.

[@briangarrett6510]

This is painful. Like watching Joe Biden be President.
