Thank you for posting this. I was 9 years old in 1997 and obsessed with The Beach Boys. As a birthday gift that year, my mom took me to see them at New York State Fair in Syracuse on August 21. That ended up being the last week Carl would perform live again. I remember he was very heavy, dressed in a black suit, sitting for the entire show, and constantly wiping his face off as he was sweating heavily, but played very well. He got a huge standing ovation after "God Only Knows" and I remember crying after the show when my mom told me the reason he looked so sick. I'm so thankful that, for my first concert ever, I got to see Carl Wilson perform live.

It's incredible the way he sang this song till the end. In fact, I think this is one of the best live performances of this song. Carl always sang it great but in this gig his voice sounded so similar to the recording version. Carl, I wish you are in a great place called Heaven with Dennis and your dear ones. I miss you as if I had known you, everybody said and says you were a good man. See you when my time expires.

My favourite singer of all time... irreplaceable. He could stand up and sing with ANY of the greats and hold his own. Wonder / Mercury / Cooke / Sinatra / Dion / Carey / Gibb / Houston. He would not be out of place singing alongside any of them. in my opinion he was that good. Blessed to have seen him in Shefield in England 1993. he was the star of that show. Sung God only knows in a green neon lazer surrounding him - it was other worldly.

I’ve been looking a long time for a video of Carl’s last tour in 1997. Though I have found audio recordings, I’ve never found a video recording of Carl Wilson in 1997. I can definitely see the cancer and the treatment took a great toll on his body, but not his voice. Carl looked like he gained a lot of weight, and his face looks much puffier. His voice, however, sounds great and right on point. I can see why people only wanted to upload audio of Carl from 1997, and not video. Even while fighting a disease that would soon take his life, Carl still continued to tour with The Beach Boys and gave it all he had. Sometimes I wonder if Carl hadn’t toured with The Beach Boys in the summer of 1997, would he have beaten the cancer? If he had stayed home, rested, and focused exclusively on healing, could he have beaten the cancer? I certainly don’t know, but what I do know is that Carl refused to give up and continued to give it his all with The Beach Boys while he was fighting for his life. I give Carl so much credit for that. He was definitely the glue that held the band together. Soon after Carl died, Al Jardine left the band and Brian Wilson just never returned. I know Brian was not a full time member with the band in the 90s, but he would perform with The Beach Boys here and there. After Carl died, Brian just never returned until the 2012 reunion tour. Carl truly held the band together. Once Carl died, the band just essentially broke up. Though Mike got the naming rights, he’s no more “The Beach Boys” then Al or Brian is. Carl Wilson was the glue of the band, and the band was never the same after he passed.

I know some people are hesitant to post videos of Carl during this time and I understand their feelings. However I was at his very last show and I have to tell you he sounded GREAT it's true he sat for the whole show. I was in the first row directly in front of him he stood for God only knows. He did not look bad at all and I don't think he would go out and perform if he was embarrassed by his appearance . He was heavier and I could tell he wore a hair piece I didn't know he was sick I just thought he was losing his hair.Sadly I have no videos or pictures from the show. I was lucky enough to have met him several times. He always made you feel like it was his pleasure to meet you rather than you meeting him.

I first saw the Beach Boys in 1978, when I was 10 years old. Carl was my favorite Beach Boy, since I am a fellow guitarist as well. From the end of the 60's until his death, he was the glue that held the Beach Boys together and kept them on track. The Beach Boys as a band were never the same after he died. The 50th anniversary tour was good but missing his magic. Good guitarist and voice of an angel. RIP, Carl and thank you for the music and memories.

They were actually not getting along all that well in the mid 90s. Carl had been the Best Man at Brian's wedding to Melinda, but not long after they had a falling out over the Andy Paley sessions, Carl not wanting Brian to restart working on Smile for fear of his mental health, and then over Carl wanting to get Brian together with the High Llamas, while Melinda wanted him to work with Joe Thomas. Melinda won out and Brian said some pretty nasty things about Carl around this time... They did get back together because Brian had adopted his daughter Daria and he wanted Carl to meet her before he died. Carl originally didn't want anyone seeing him like that, but he relented and they watched the Super Bowl together and Daria, who was normally afraid of men with beards, instantly warmed up to Carl and hugged him and that was the last visit they had. Brian's second book (the one much more true to reality) has him discussing Carl a lot. Not so much Dennis, but Carl comes up constantly. They were extremely close for most of their lives, had this bump in the road, and at least said goodbye on a positive note.

I love music. I have always sided with the British invasion (namely the Beatles). Lately, I have been viewing the Beach Boys excessively. I always liked them, but underestimated them. It's a tie! In my opinion, they were as great as the Beatles which is a strong statement for me. They affected California culture immeasurably and their wall of sound was equaled by nobody, not even my beloved fab 4.
