Brian Wilson private party 2013

[@pauldrew3696]

What’s incredible is almost all these songs were written and composed before Brian turned 24. He created a song book and legacy that will last forever. The man is a legend!

[@hansgordy]

The two guys on the right... Jeff Foskett and Nicky Wonder have passed. Jeff was the best Brian emulator ever and Nicky was a studio-level lead guitarist who completely understood the Beach Boys guitar tones.

[@tleparskas]

two Brian stalwarts. Noticed that myself. Great video capture. I see Probyn, Gary and Nelson - but, is that Scott B. on drums????

[@gregoryk.tanaka4285]

Thank you for that great information!

[@boukjetijhuis6456]

​@@tleparskasYes Scott Bennett on drums

[@grahamclews1571]

Both sadly missed

[@subg8858]

Through all the phases and stages, highs and lows, browns or grey, Brian has always had great hair

[@georgenolan4795]

God, this is fantastic. I would have given much to be at this performance. I really like the semi acoustic arrangements. Brian is in good voice despite the cold, his band great as always. And the late Jeff Foskett is just wonderful. He is sorely missed.

I met Jeffrey twice once in LA in the week I played the Troubadour with Tony Rivers and his son Anthony , and once at Brian Wilson soundcheck with David Leaf in Liverpool, one of the nicest people I have ever met, a great Musician, he will be greatly missed.

[@subg8858]

You know Brian’s feeling it when the hand gestures begin. And what a great band. It’s evident they are in it for far more than just a paycheck

[@izzigogo]

You can tell Brian, standing so in attention, is paying attention to all the sound and embodying the great music he created. What a wonder!

[@ShelleeGraham]

WOW - what a great ❤ treasure to see this private event with Brian, Wilson, Jeffrey Foskett, Probyn Gregory, Nicky Wonder and more. Thank you HAL SCHEIE! We sure appreciate your sharing this with the Brian Wilson and Beach 🏖 Boys fans!

[@hansgordy]

Sadly... we'll likely never see Brian on a stage again. We saw him in concert about a year ago and it didn't go well. He's still the genius.

[@grahamclews1571]

Thanks so much for posting this great acoustic show. Great to see Brian out front with no piano singing the oldies

[@NateRuvin414]

This is one of the best BW performances I’ve ever seen! Whole band sounds amazing!! Great great setlist too , thx for sharing

[@noahnewhouse3138]

May Jeff and Nicky Rest In Peace. Great talent will be very missed..

[@RonaldSanford-pl7tf]

So saddened to hear about Melinda’s passing. Obviously, she meant everything to Brian. Watching this, brings on so many emotions. Brian‘s music along with his brothers and cousin have greatly moved me over the years. What a service Jeff Foskett has provided to all of us! He humbly covers the roles of Brian, Carl times, Glen Campbell and others. One of the most talented guys in the business, ever! Not to mention…… He was basically Brian‘s caretaker on the road for so many years.

[@gregoryk.tanaka4285]

Brian Wilson’s big yawn brought a chuckle to me bc it showed he is a human being who connects with his audience in so many ways! What a genius!

Brian I love you 🎶❤️ I hope you live to a 100 years old. Thank you for making this world more beautiful with your fantastic songs 🎹🔥❤️🎶👍🏻

[@davidrobinson5180]

Seeing Brian orchestrate the crowd for Row Row Row Your Boat is incredible. What a blessing for that crowd.

[@jamessnyder4253]

Brian Wilson performing at a private party is pretty amazing on its own. Thanks for posting this. I have not seen this before. I believe this was about the time the 50 year reunion tour Beach Boys broke up for good. This clip shows even at that point, even not feeling well, Brian could still carry a show as lead vocalist.

[@probyngregory]

There were perhaps ever a dozen or so of these so-called "corporate shows" with a cut-down band, some like Scott Bennett and i moving to other instruments than our normal. Since the audiences were not the general public, the feeling was looser and more about creating a party atmosphere. I always had great fun doing familiar material on a fresh instrument like bass.

[@subg8858]

Thanks for your service with the church of Brian Wilson

[@ShelleeGraham]

Thank you for your comments, Mr. Gregory. We have so enjoyed your great 👍 work with The Wondermints and the Brian Wilson Band.

[@chadstanley8862]

I remember seeing the "corporate show lineup" at the Red Rock casino in Vancouver. Mid 2000s. Absolutely stripped down but great show - Brian was in fine voice and real outgoing. Saw one show, and I came back for the next evening... Really glad I did. Small little intimate theater, and I was happy to see Brian so engaged. During the final group bow, he lifted his shirt and showed his belly to the audience! Lol I'd like to also add, there was no teleprompter. Brian was just doing it free n easy.

[@ShelleeGraham]

@@chadstanley8862 What a wonderful story. I'm so glad you were able to see one of the best Brian Wilson shows in the most comfortable setting for him - an intimate theater. Love the part where he showed his belly to the audience. He's such a comic, a funny man that balances with his melancholy. Most of us try to achieve that balance.

[@michaelr4063]

Saw you many times with Brian over the years.., THANK YOU SO MUCH! I think my favorite was at Carnegie Hall for the SMiLE show. The opening set.., the acoustic ‘Beach Boys Party set’…, the entire band surrounding Brian at the edge of the stage…, will never forget that. Never.

[@trfesok]

With the fantastic Jeff Foskett -- the band was never the same after he and Taylor left.

[@philrotella6798]

Big guy and the band in their prime here. Great show and thanks for sharing!

[@TastyAF347]

Holy... This is incredible. There's a lot of songs here I haven't seen him do with his modern band before. Very tight and good sound quality. Thanks for this gem❤

[@marcttm]

Wonderful !

[@TheCraig8754]

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff. He reminded me of Carl soft spoked and very nice.

[@Joshens65]

One of the greatest, Jeffrey Foskett!!

[@Lorraines1]

So many good songs! ❤

[@mikeglossip7598]

Jeff Foskett sounded and looked like a Wilson. RIP

[@pamelalabrake7622]

Love In my Room. Thanks for sharing this Hal. Going to send to my brother who has been a fan forever.

[@Matt-cm8hh]

This is great!!!

[@Michael-ec5zs]

I've been Watcing alot of b Wilson vids , interview ... he is a funny guy. No pretend with him. He looked at his watch in the second song and yawned in get around. Totally no bad intent in either , he just does himself , no alter ego. He seems really with it at all times music is going on and always a real positive reaction to what he like

[@Allthisisthat31]

This is an incredible find. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@dmer-zy3rb]

Brian looked well here! and the performance was good too.

[@FishyTheKid]

Immediately thought of this video when I heard the news, rip Jeff

[@FishyTheKid]

This is amazing, the band is so tight and yet relaxed. Seems like a really warm, happy night. Brian sounds good but man he looks so tired, I hope he was okay! Also this setlist is SO good, I WISH I could see this sort of show live.

[@timotley2100]

Add Some Music to Your Day - Brian yawns, rubs the tired from his eyes, and looks like he checks the time on his watch while in the middle of a verse! If it was anyone else, it would probably raise an eyebrow. But it's Brian so it just raises a smile.

[@karmafrog1]

Forgot how much I love Probyn's bass playing. God that guy's such a great musician.

[@bluesmiles5314]

He once told me he plays 14 instruments plus the saw.

[@karmafrog1]

@@bluesmiles5314 And I have personally seen him play that saw, the man does not lie.

Scott doing a great job on drums too!

[@dougwhite7584]

I first saw the Beach boys live at Worcester Memorial Auditorium about 65? (Original band striped shirts etc.) -We got to see pretty much this whole band year 2000 in Conncticut. My wife was pregnant. -This Brian Wilson band peformance was my yet to be born son's first concert! Thanks Brian (and the whole band) for all the great music, memories, and staying true to Brian's Genius and Legacy. Love and Peace, -doug

[@JohnScaer]

Thank you for this video. Before now, I believed Brian stopped singing the main lead of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by 2012.

[@evapalosdelarosa2904]

Nice, thanks for sharing 😊😊

The song that begins at 35 minutes is the one that Paul McCartney said was the best song ever written. WOW!

Holy moly!

[@andrewdoe8313]

Just asked a band member - it's a Rock & Roll Fantasy Band Camp, in Las Vegas, April 18th-21st (probably on the 20th).

[@wingdam]

Sorry but it was at SIR studio across from the original Amoeba records in Hollywood. I should know as I took the video.

[@andrewdoe8313]

@@wingdam - thanks for that clarification, but it is a R&R fantasy camp.

[@andrewdoe8313]

@@wingdam I just checked with the Camp organisers, and did some googling, and there are stills with the band wearing the exact same clothes as in your video, yes in Hollywood at SIR, but from 2008. February 16th to be exact.

Hidden gem here.

[@amandalemke3740]

I want to see Brian Wilson and want him to sign my Cd with all of them

[@georgenolan4795]

Oh and I had no idea that Probyn Gregory was an ace bass player on top of everything else.

[@Andydrengen]

Thanks for sharing this, it’s great! First time I’ve seen Probyn playing the bass with the band. And is that Scott Bennett on drums?

[@sheatiller2465]

41:24

[@musicmatty67]

For all the negatives of the late Gene Landy, Brian was much more confident and capable under his baton and there’s countless KZbin videos to verify that time period. The last time Brian Wilson truly worked hard was during the reunion tour of 2012 where if he wasn’t singing lead, he was actually singing backup and not just sitting there waving his arms.

[@annb1]

RIP Jeff.

[@fireandice3537]

R.I.P. Jeffrey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@izzigogo]

Where is Mike Love?

[@glennwlove]

Probyn playing bass, awesome.

[@milankey]

I love how Brian looks at his watch at 1:02 and makes a motion to Foskett - we played an hour like they paid us for, lets get out of here.

[@troyelich9307]

No way this is 2013. Brian was grey and bigger on their 50th anniversary tour which was in 2012. This is probably mid 2000s.

[@Gabriel2oh6]

This is a high definition cellphone recording. Definitely not mid-2000’s. Quality is way too good.

[@alexanderramirez3025]

@@Gabriel2oh6 the zooms/panning/screen tearing are very reminiscent of a mid 2000s camcorder it definitely is not a cell phone video IMO! also notice nobody in the crowd holding up cell phones haha

[@troyelich9307]

@@Gabriel2oh6 Look at Brian!!! There are hundreds of videos of the 50th anniversary tour in 2012. In those videos Brian is much older than he is here. Maybe this was taken with a mid 2000s camcorder?

[@obsidianobserver]

This is definitely not during the mid 2000s. Instead of looking at Brian we can look at Jeffrey. During the mid 2000s he was really overweight, but by the time of the 50th anniversary tour he has lost a ton of weight by then, so this video is definitely recorded after the tour

[@troyelich9307]

@@obsidianobserver I know some of these guys, I guess I could just ask someone. lol I'm 1,000% sure it's before the 50th anniversary tour. Brian didn't lose weight and dye his hair back to brown after the 50th.
