Was lucky enough to see them play live in Hammersmith, London when I was 17 and I'm now 71. Best group ever.

Recipe: Listen to "Be My Baby" on loop for three hours and then write a song. I can't blame him. That song is perfect. Phil Spector is a twisted psycho killer with weird hair, but he's also a musical genius. Wilson and Spector had sort of a competition going on. Wilson respected Spector, but the feeling wasn't mutual. Besides being a psycho killer, Spector is also kind of a dick.

[@ronaldzent6321]

Just read that Brian Wilson was diagnosed with Dementia, pretty advanced from what info I read. Sad. Truly one of the greatest composer/ songwriters ever throughout the history of ALL music. My wife has pretty advanced Dementia, still at home, but am trying to get in home care through LA county social services. She was an RN for over 45+ years. Luckily, there is family, they're all aware of her condition. Pray for Brian Wilson, also, one of the most pure and melodic voices ever. May he be able to enjoy his remaining time in this life as much as possible.

Very sad to hear. Dementia is as cruel as they come. It's a living death. The resources to help victims and families is piss poor - embarrasing for a healthcare society that congratulates itself for helping people live longer, but has no answer for the quality of life. Only those going through it understand the toll.

[@lindajones8101]

@@frankm.8188 my mom was diagnosed at 76. My dad was seven years older, but much healthier. They were comfortably off in their retirement and we were able to hire a private personal care worker who had been an RPN. I asked her if she could stand to take my mom out every workday from anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. I explained that we understood she could not entertain my mom all day so if she wanted to take my mom with her when she did her shopping or whatever my mom would enjoy it since my mom loved being around people. We paid her well for this and she and my mom really loved each other. Because of this, my mom lasted six years in the house doing pretty well although declining each year. Eventually, she had to go into a nursing home since she had become too restless. She only lasted close to two years in the nursing home. if she had not gotten so restless and asking the repeated questions, I think we could’ve kept her at home until she died.

It's more than 50 years old, and was made with 4-track recording technology mixed to mono. Yet, it was so ahead of its time, it caused great anxiety to The Beatles, who responded with "Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane." The sound quality is amazing, especially if you listen to the mono at maximum volume.

Seeing old footage like this makes me really sad. Even though I wasn't even alive its still fascinating to me to watch stuff like this because it reminds me of the passing of time and how we don't really stay young for long. Like all the people you see are just enjoying life but at the same time completely unaware of how fast its gone. Then one day in the future when i go back and watch all the old footage of me and my friends, I'll feel the same sappiness i feel right now.

Lil' Mac, you are only as old as you act. There are so many minutes to live in and more sights and sounds than you can ever fill them with. Instead of counting, missing and reminiscing, enjoy and fill those minutes with learning and playing new things, and try to carry all that you see from the past, into your future. Me 59 and still writing and playing and hearing music in my head. I can never mimic Brian, the Zombies, Beatles, Strawbs, Four Tops, DC5, and on and on and on....But I can enjoy it while I spread the "word" and sounds of a time that keeps growing into the present. Listen to Typhoon by Young the Giant, Enormous by Declan McKenna, and Coffee Shop, Landon Pigg, etc.c.c.c.c.c.c.c.c. Go girl and cheer up.

Reading all the comments by younger people and how much they love The Beach Boys makes me think back to the early 1970’s when their music was rejected by our own peers. So grateful to see their music not only withstanding the test of time but their legend just seems to grow as years pass.

[@marypalmer00]

Why was it rejected?

[@princeparadox184]

Thanks for leaving this comment, man. It really is amazing when you think about it. I’m a black guy in my early 20s and while my brothers mostly love hip hop, nothing no kind of music will ever speak to me and move me like Pet Sounds and Good Vibrations did, does, and will continue to do so. I just hope I live to see my favorite album turn 100. Maybe I’ll see young people then fall for this music like I did, God Only Knows.

I feel these guys don't get enough recognition. They were "The Beatles" biggest competition and both pushed each other to pull off better and memorable music that we have today. When I ask others about classic rock they'll mention foreign bands like "The Rolling Stones", "The Who", "The Beatles" but bands like "The Beach Boys" and "The Three Dogs Night" show America had their own talented musicians that could compete with the best.

This is a rare one she didn't play - the bass credits are complex even for a Brian production of the time. Ray Pohlman: electric bass on verses+first bridge, Lyle Ritz: electric on choruses, Arthur Wright: electric on third bridge/fadeout. Ritz: upright bass on verses+second bridge, Jimmy Bond: upright for the first bridge, Bill Pittman: Danelectro six-string bass on first/third bridges/fadeout.

Similar to "A Day in the Life", and "All You Need Is Love" (1967). Psychotic, psychedlic, top-of-the-line homages to go and get to the inside of your mind. The 1966-68 years had some outstanding songs, and peons to psychedelic music. So many classics of that era, it boggles the mind to recall how many there were! "Incense and Peppermints" (1967) by Strawberry Alarm Clock was one of my favorites!

@@freeguy77 I was born in 1950 and lived through all that. Jimi Hendrix? Joplin? Had all the vinyl. The 70's were great, too. The Eagles, etc. All I hear now are fake instruments with tuned up voices and lyrics that barely register as decent. I could go on but it's time for my morning nap. LOL Take care. And don't forget to "live for today".

[@williamforsyth-ye4rc]

An extremely well known English DJ, I used to drive around the Club's of the UK during the mid90's is convinced the instrumental break at 2:45 is an extremely early example of studio led Drum & Bass...........the more I listen to the track the more I'm sold on his hypothesis..........

[@lqr824]

Arguably the best pop song ever. A symphony in 5 movements.

[@gabrielbehd704]

A GREAT CLASSIC OF THE 60s..

[@didier-henrijeanmart4022]

The best melody of the 20th century

[@Greenjeeper999]

If you listen to this through some good headphones (or even bad ones), Brian Wilson's genius is so obvious. So many elements that fit so perfectly.

[@connievaughn4271]

Agree, if you listen on good audio you realize how next level this song really is!

[@phillipskene5264]

I love the silliness of this. Good vibes. Have fun; don’t be so self-conscious all the time.

[@CheifMcCloud]

The saddest day of my life was when I found out that the Beach Boys weren't also firefighters that slept in the same giant bed...

[@Rango37]

That's a really good idea for a TV Show. Kind of like how the Aquabats are super heroes, The Beach Boys should have had a show where they were firefighters. Maybe they could do a cartoon like The Beatles. I'm thinking like maybe the animation in the Heroes and Villians video.

[@angeles_faith]

@@Rango37 you my friend are genius oml id binge watch that show

[@InWalkedBud752]

Yeah, and the Beatles don't live in a huge house separated by colours and theme...

[@Flap999]

Brian and the Boys were the soundtrack of my young life in Florida. We had sand, surf, hot rods and most importantly GIRLS here too. And it was never officially summer until the new Beach Boys song came on the radio.

[@clayoppenhuizen607]

2025 and this is still one of the best songs ever. It isn't even their best song imo

[@sleuth2077]

The percussion in this song is so simple, yet so perfect and impactful to the song. Just perfect 👌🏻

[@GarySUPERTRAMPER]

The Beach Boys wrote songs that will last for all time ... That's an amazing achievement

[@johnmichael1240]

I was very lucky when Brian came out of seclusion. After so many years he decided to kick off his tour in British Columbia Canada and I happen to be there sitting in a bar in the afternoon, and a fellow was reading a magazine, and I saw Brian Wilson live so I said when is that and the guy says oh that’s actually tonight so I called up my production friends at the river rock casino where I gamble a lot lol Arranged passes and tickets and immediately jumped in the taxi so we get to the show and it was absolutely brilliant performance. Brian sat on a barstool pretty much most of the night so he was comfortable and he had the most amazing back up singers mixed races I think two black ladies and two white fellows and they pulled off the harmonies to the point where if you close your eyes, you would swear the beach boys run stage truly amazing night. Thank you, Brian, and thank you to my buddy at the River rock Casino

[@diverdave4056]

I heard this song when it first hit the ole AM radio station and I still get the chills when I hear it today ! its a true Master Piece of Pop Music

[@lynnscott4835]

They are fabulous. Before my time, but my favorite. Talent unlimited

[@Robisquick]

One time my buddy got way too high in public at a movie theatre, and he felt exposed and scared and I didn’t know how to console him, but the only thing I knew was to get him away from strangers, sit in a car, and play good vibrations to attune the environment to meet his trip needs. And safe to say it blew his absolute mind to pieces in the best way. He’d either never heard the song OR he was so high that it sounded like some crazy new song. But he turned completely around. Felt like a god for saving his life in his eyes hahah

[@etoilefilante4529]

i juste watched the Beach Boys documentary on Disney. They're not from my generation so I didn't know much about them. I never realized how magical the harmonies are.

[@robmagrath9162]

What a lot of people don’t understand is this music transcended time and tapped into your emotions and made you use your imagination

[@stormbringer8856]

I'd say from the comments here people understand.

[@re6153]

I saw them live in San Antonio. Texas in the 70's . Richard Edwards living in the Philippines October 22 2023.

[@susannelykke6239]

The Beach boys are uniquely legendary. I will love their music forever ❤

[@fernandochapa1433]

This has to be one of the best and most creative songs ever recorded

[@betsybrains]

This song's been in my head for over a week. Mr. Brian's wife has just passed away. I'm a wee psychic, as Daphne said on tv's Frasier. The reason the song's dropped into my psychic psyche like a new hit, is because it's the prettiest song my sweet soul has ever heard. On another video of this song, they said that Sir Paul McCartney heard it and said, "how can we compete with this?" I'm gonna go jump in a lake now. Right off the dock, running at full speed, into Smith Lake in Alabama, in 1972, at my granddaddy's lake house. This song brought my childhood a lot of excitation. Those boys with their hair-raising harmony.

[@wendyhansen8179]

Had a blast last night at the fair, listening to their music! Awesome uplifting songs!

[@robertlambert7461]

My favourite record of all time I never tire of listening to it

[@vickie30]

Teenage years in the 60’s..best time..bandstand after school..always had the record player on in my bedroom..simpler times…

[@guilhermeteofilocachich4892]

I'm driving to the beach right now and listening to the Beach Boys. The amount of shivers I've had so far is immeasurable. Edit, 8 hours later: The day was amazing.

NE Ohio here, 19 Jan. 2022. Keep the summer alive, Brother. Send some WARMTH Stay safe and GOD bless.

[@garysnow1475]

I love the Beatles most of my life I'm 65 but honestly I've gotten so burnt out with the commercialism! "For $50 you can hear John actually fart in the third verse of I am the walrus"! I'm just sick of it so about 5 years ago I started paying more attention to the Beach boys and got deeper and deeper. The stones may have been the English rivals of The Beatles but their true rivals were the Beach boys.

[@displaychicken]

@@garysnow1475I agree with you. Even with their cult following I feel that the Beach Boys are still criminally underrated. I have also begun digging deeper. I tend to listen to a lot a baroque and classical music and I am blown away by the harmonies that these songs have.

[@bruceanglais7584]

[@johnmontage3697]

Beyonce's Ya Ya will open a new generation to the Beach Boys importance.❤

[@Only1HZ]

On this day in Music - 04 Nov 1966 The Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations', entered the UK chart and went on to be a UK & US No.1 hit single. As a child, Brian Wilson's mother told him that dogs could pick up "vibrations" from people, so that the dog would bark at "bad vibrations". Wilson turned this into the general idea for the song.

[@skintslots]

This song was number 1 in the US charts the day I was born in December '66 here in the UK. The UK number 1 was Tom Jones 'Green Green Grass of Home' and in Australia it was the Easybeats with Friday on My Mind.' I am proud that such great music was around when I was a baby and youngster. 50+ years later I could not say the same thing if I was re-born today.

[@ferociousgumby]

Brian Wilson called this his "pocket opera", and I can see why. When I first heard it, I went crazy because I'd never heard anything like it. Still haven't, all these years later! I don't know where, but she sends me there.

[@leedani9279]

Saw them last night in Utica NY. So fun! Seen them over 20 times. Never gets old. I’ll be 70 this year…

[@DiecastCentral-yg3fs]

I saw them perform at the central Washington state fair in the late summer of 2015. Man! what an experience! There was these Giant beach balls bouncing in the crowd. It was such a thrill!

[@jaimehudson7623]

My 'high school days' theme song. Thanks Beach Boys, you made those The Best Times. Good Vibes Forever!

[@studiojsiegel]

Invoking the KZbin magic, and wondering if anyone has more footage from this time? My Dad is in the video around 51 second mark, walking down the hill. And again around 3:05 with the Rollei.

Kewl!

[@carbugnov1952]

this song brings me great memories of 1966. it was the year i first rode on a motor-cycle behind my brother on his way to his friend's home.

[@davidjensen4702]

Brian knew his craft! These songs, will ALWAYS be timeless.

[@1401minstrel]

He still knows it.

[@sunkintree]

@@1401minstrel He doesn't make anything as ornate or sophisticated as this though, with the one exception of Rio Grande on his debut solo ablum

[@1401minstrel]

@sunkintree I was merely pointing out that Brian is still alive. I hate it when people refer to him in the past tense. The fact that he hasn't written any very complex songs in some time is insignificant. And now he has dementia. Still, deep down inside, I'm betting he still knows his craft.

[@jaheiramusic]

Brilliant song

[@Wise-Lady-La-Aura]

Love this song so much. I never saw this particular video before, but that doesn’t matter. Beautiful song about love! 💕 🎶⭐️🎤👏
