Brian is Back!
This time it is true. His singing on "Darlin'" and Surfin' USA" is spot on and emotive. The falsetto of his youth, quite possibly the best in the business, is gone. However, his wonderful band can cover for him in that regard. He looks much more comfortable onstage than he did when I saw him in 2000.It is pretty funny when he stops "Do It Again" to get the crowd clapping, then yells at them to "Stop Clapping!" 60 seconds later during the bridge.The DD5.1 and DTS mixes are great! I wish the video was 16:9 rather than 4:3.I wonder what the surviving Beach Boys are thinking? I can only hope they feel good seeing Brian soak up all the adulation he missed out on in the past 30 years and so richly deserves.
