Surf's Up (The Beach Boys) | Live from Here with Chris Thile

[@JoshHumble]

Blown away - thank you for doing justice with Brian Wilson's opus, Surf's Up... one of the most striking songs out there.

[@1401minstrel]

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!

[@Kedai610]

Out of everything that ended with the pandemic, live with here is probably what I miss the most

[@krealle]

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.

[@davegarciaofficial]

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...

[@lindar.4882]

Dave Garcia World Yes, I love this song, I cry when I hear this lots of memories.

[@aimeethereseperhach1055]

His voice captures the vulnerability of Brian's original perfectly! A brilliant performance!

[@buddyblackmon7405]

Carl sang the original.. just like “good vibrations”.

[@aimeethereseperhach1055]

@@buddyblackmon7405 I was referring to Brian's original piano demo. It was featured in a program by Leonard Bernstein back in the day.

[@cjm3122]

Seems that Chris enjoys singing this song a great deal. With his voice, how could he not? What a piece of music.

[@megynkelly1576]

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!

[@lesmartinsings]

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.

[@LeftyPem]

He hit the high note! Dang! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@1401minstrel]

Yes he did! Twice!

[@dbfisher]

The original and the ‘04 Brian Wilson “Smile” remake always make me weep. So did this!

[@stuboo]

The talent on this stage is simply astounding. What a touching performance.❤️

[@KeelyBurnMusic]

The standout performance of an already amazing show. "Surf's Up" is my favorite Beach Boys/Brian Wilson song, and this rendition nailed it.

[@mikebrison1838]

Beautiful. The Vince Gil version is amazing too

[@andrewboyce4495]

Critter's background/counterpoint vocals are superb...

[@brianwilson6564]

The only song to ever bring a tear to my eye the first time I listened to it. A masterpiece .

[@kprice5877]

The musicians make the music the engineers create the mix. This is perfect! Chris Thile is in a class all by himself.

[@solelsoleil3869]

Thile and I'm With Her's vocal virtuosity and the brilliance of rhe composition leave me SPEECHLESS!

[@margaretmaskara9002]

I don't know any of these performers , but I do know "Surfs Up"- and this is spectacular!

[@davidcornelison3969]

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!!!

[@dulcarnon]

You always remember where you were when you first heard this song!

[@maurovassallo1482]

Great Cover of one of the best Songs ever! God bless Mr. Brian Wilson!

[@scamaropppi]

Hats off to Mr. Mike Love

[@moonscore]

Brian is my favorite composer, and Chris, one of the world’s greatest musicians. Match made in heaven

[@dr05guitar]

man Thile can sing anything... love his vocal tone and the way he can belt notes. great backup crew here as well

[@bluetonic9538]

Probably my favorite Brian Wilson song, and this is a great version

[@beckerickson8034]

Sent here by Brian Wilson's Twitter account. A well done tribute to my favorite composition of Mr Wilson's. Absolutely lovely. Thank you.

[@juanjodelatorre]

Goosebumps! Absolutely amazing.

As I said four years ago, every time I watch this, it makes me cry

[@michaelrieger6421]

[@chrisdoran3949]

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!

[@napoleon-sk5oc]

Excellent and it makes me think how immortal Brian's work is.

[@allbuzzedup1]

[@lordbuddybear]

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!

[@brandonberg387]

Props to the guitar player doubling the melody with Chris.

[@RoddyMacLeodBlog]

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.

[@sharonmickey4566]

Very difficult to sing this suite Great performance Beatles-like to a certain extend Excellent

[@cjm3122]

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.
