Product: Brian Wilson: On Tour [VHS] (2003)
Rating: 4.0
GENIUS SURROUNDED WITH LOVE
Those who saw Brian Wilson perform on his 2002 European Tour must have been in doubt whether the former Beach Boys genius was realy happy to be back on stage. Wilson looked sometimes scared and insecure and his great band the Wondermints backed up for him in more than one way. But we see a different Brian Wilson in this DVD. One who is enjoying the appreciation of the public and other musicians like Neil Young and Pete Townsend. Brian is loose and looks happy in this Tour film and seems surrounded with love. Playing some of his and Beach Boys greatest tunes and building up confidence. After the CD's Brian Wilson Live at the Roxy and Pet Sounds Live and the Tribute DVD, this new DVD is another landmark in the attempts to give Brian Wilson the credits he derserves but did not get for his wonderful music from the sixties and seventies. There are beautiful tracks on this DVD and charming backstage views, like Neil Young trying to learn how to play Good Vibrations. Good to see all this happen.
