0:00:23 > 0:00:26Well, I came into the studio and I saw Brian sitting there
0:00:26 > 0:00:31and I thought, "Wow, that is cool, he is back in his role as producer."
0:00:31 > 0:00:36Hanging around this piano, having Brian throw parts out
0:00:36 > 0:00:39and watching Al and Brian trying to get out
0:00:39 > 0:00:42of singing the higher parts, it was so great!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Instead of being a force from the past, we are now going to
0:00:45 > 0:00:48reassert our place, I think our rightful place, in history.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53# It's automatic When I talk with old friends
0:00:53 > 0:00:56# The conversation turns to girls we knew
0:00:56 > 0:01:00# When their hair was soft and long
0:01:00 > 0:01:03# And the beach was the place to go
0:01:04 > 0:01:09# The suntanned bodies and waves of sunshine
0:01:09 > 0:01:11# The California girls
0:01:11 > 0:01:15# And a beautiful coastline Warmed up weather
0:01:15 > 0:01:19# Let's get together and do it again.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- # Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo - Bam, bam
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- # Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo - Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- # Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo - Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam... #
0:01:38 > 0:01:40That is what distinguishes us.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Not just musical logic, not just technically, but spiritually.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It is like the expression of all of our collective souls coming together,
0:01:50 > 0:01:54all in the context of harmony and positivity.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- # Come and do it again - Bam, bam

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Do it again!

0:02:46 > 0:02:50# Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
0:02:50 > 0:02:53# Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
0:02:53 > 0:02:57# Wooo, ahhh...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00# Doo, doo, doo... #
0:03:04 > 0:03:06It all started at Hawthorne High,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08where Brian and I went to high school,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10in about 1957.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And we'd have student body assemblies.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18One day, we were entertained by a group of kids from the high school.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22And I thought, "What a great sound, what a wonderful, youthful sound
0:03:22 > 0:03:27"I'm hearing." Similar to what I'd been hearing from the Four Freshmen
0:03:27 > 0:03:28or the Hi Lows.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31And I'm thinking, "Boy, that's really nice, but it's fresh,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34"it's not so stilted, it's got more imagination."
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I had met Brian before on campus,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39but I didn't know who the short kid was,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42little 12-year-old kid who was playing guitar.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I thought, "He's too young to be a member of this student body,"
0:03:45 > 0:03:48you know. So, they sang this beautiful Bermuda Shorts,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and I'm going, "That's pretty cute," you know? "That's really neat.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53"Who's that kid on the guitar?"
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It turned out, "Well, that's Carl Wilson."
0:03:56 > 0:04:01That was my introduction to the beautiful falsetto voice of Brian's.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03We all hung out at this place called the Foster's Freeze,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05in Hawthorne,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09so I saw Brian one day and said, "Hey, let's get together."
0:04:09 > 0:04:11# How about doin' it just like... #
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We spent our Freshman year in different colleges,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17so when I came back to California the following year,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I had an El Camino, and lo and behold, we're crossing campus,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and there's Brian.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26# Remeber those nights we spent just you and I
0:04:26 > 0:04:31# Little did we know how the time would fly. #
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Brian said, "Hey, why don't we just go to my place
0:04:34 > 0:04:36and my cousin Mike, you know, he sings a great baritone.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40"My little brother Carl can really sing, too."
0:04:40 > 0:04:43# Whoa...
0:04:43 > 0:04:46# The good times never have to end. #
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Drove over to Brian's place, met all the guys,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52we're standing around the upright piano,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55and it's like magic.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01# For their hearts
0:05:01 > 0:05:06# Were full
0:05:06 > 0:05:14# Of spring... #
0:05:14 > 0:05:17My first memory of Brian Wilson singing
0:05:17 > 0:05:22was on my grandmother Wilson's lap singing Danny Boy
0:05:22 > 0:05:27at a Christmas get together with the Wilsons and the Loves.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Even at nine, ten years old, when Brian sang,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36oh, my God, it was like, so special, it was like an angel.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40He was channelling something from another realm.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well, in my view, each one of the Wilsons was a musical genius
0:05:43 > 0:05:45in their own right, really.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48First of all, the mom, Audree.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51She sat us down individually and taught us how to play
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Boogie Woogie on the piano.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55She said that she was so poor
0:05:55 > 0:05:57when she was a kid that they couldn't afford a piano,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59but she wanted to play the piano in the worst way,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02so she would practice on the kitchen table,
0:06:02 > 0:06:03fingerings and stuff.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06And she said the first time she actually got to sit down
0:06:06 > 0:06:07at a piano, she was able to play.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And she taught us that Boogie Woogie stuff,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13which I believe really made us tight.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16When we had that one element in common, Audree teaching us
0:06:16 > 0:06:20that piano stuff, when we got together to play our songs,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21it made us a lot tighter.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22# Come on on safari...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25# Early in the mornin' We'll be startin' out
0:06:25 > 0:06:28# Some honeys will be comin' along
0:06:28 > 0:06:31# We're loading up our woody With our boards inside
0:06:31 > 0:06:35# And heading out singing our song. #
0:06:35 > 0:06:36- We had a great engineer, too. - Chuck Britz.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Didn't give him any credit, or enough credit, I should say.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- He got the sound.- He did.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Mike would carry on for a half hour about this in that it make us
0:06:45 > 0:06:47all laugh and Chuck's going,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50"Hey, guys, I've got to go bowling in about two hours."
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And Mike goes, "All right, OK."
0:06:54 > 0:06:57# At Huntington and Malibu they're shootin' the peer... #
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I moved out here 1956 or '57.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I was about seven or eight years old.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06And as fate would have it, it was across the street
0:07:06 > 0:07:08from the three Wilson brothers - Dennis, Carl and Brian.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10They were two different neighbourhoods.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13The street we lived on was the border between Hawthorne,
0:07:13 > 0:07:14California, and Inglewood.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I was on the Inglewood side and they were on the Hawthorne side,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19directly across the street from each other.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24And the first thing I remember when we moved in was Dennis and Carl...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Let's see, Carl must've been, I don't know,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28ten or so and Dennis was maybe 12.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31And they were throwing garbage and junk across the street saying,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33"Hawthorne rules, Inglewood sucks!"
0:07:33 > 0:07:36So, that was my introduction to the neighbourhood -
0:07:36 > 0:07:39these two kids across the street throwing garbage across the street.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43It was hilarious. And it turned out to be Dennis and Carl.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45And I was there constantly, so I was like one of their...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I was like the fourth Wilson brother.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52And I was especially intrigued by the musical aspect of the family.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54They would have sing-alongs on Sunday.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56One of my greatest memories was sitting on the floor
0:07:56 > 0:07:58in their music room and having
0:07:58 > 0:08:00the brothers and cousin Mike standing around me
0:08:00 > 0:08:01singing harmonies.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Around that time, Carl and I were learning how to play
0:08:05 > 0:08:07West Coast rhythm and blues.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09And we had this strum down.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And it was this certain little strum thing that Brian liked.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17He wanted to hear that strumming sound with his Surfer Girl song.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25# Little surfer, little one
0:08:25 > 0:08:32# Made my heart come all undone
0:08:32 > 0:08:36# Do you love me?
0:08:36 > 0:08:41# Do you, surfer girl?
0:08:41 > 0:08:46# My little surfer girl. #
0:08:46 > 0:08:48When we got to the bridge in Surfer Girl,
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Carl would do sort of a little...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52That's when he would do his little arpeggio.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Let's say maybe in Surfin' USA I would be doing...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And Carl would be going...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Or...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05# And then he... #
0:09:05 > 0:09:06That will be Carl's part.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08# To sing... #
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Something like that. And I would just be doing...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13HE HUMS
0:09:13 > 0:09:15That would be my part.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18And Carl would be chucking on chord.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22And part of the song would be doing the same exact thing, maybe.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25We will both be going like...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Together.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Carl's brother, Dennis Wilson,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32hadn't played the drums ever in his life.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36We handed him the sticks and he was just like a natural.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It just brought all of it together, with the pounding rhythm.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42He was very passionate about everything he did.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48We incorporated that with Brian's songs, the surf instrumental style,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and his beautiful harmony arrangements,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Mike's clever words.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And the rest is history, I guess.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- # Surfin' USA - Wooo...
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- # At Haggerty's and Swami's - Inside, outside, USA
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- # Pacific Palisades - Inside, outside, USA
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- # San Onofre and Sunset - Inside, outside, USA
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- # Redondo Beach, LA - Inside, outside, USA
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- # All over La Jolla - Inside, outside, USA
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- # And Waimea Bay - Inside, outside
0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Everybody has gone surfin'
0:10:20 > 0:10:22# Surfin' USA! #
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It was kind of cool. It was a lot of physical energy
0:10:28 > 0:10:33and competition to do as well as you could.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36You know, "I'm going to show that guy I can..." You know,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38"I can do four sets a night, no problem."
0:10:40 > 0:10:42So, there was some really...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47..ego driven energy and...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49that just...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I think it was a very macho thing.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I mean, sure, we were doing beautiful harmonies,
0:10:54 > 0:10:59but there was also an undercurrent of sheer, raw power,
0:10:59 > 0:11:04and it was primordial. It was very basic, but it really, really worked.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07# Little deuce coupe You don't know what I got
0:11:07 > 0:11:08# You don't know what I got

0:12:00 > 0:12:03# Purrs like a kitten Till the lake pipes roar
0:12:03 > 0:12:07# And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
0:12:07 > 0:12:11# There's one more thing I got the pink slip, daddy!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14# Coming off the line when the light turns green
0:12:14 > 0:12:18# Well, she blows 'em out of the water like you never seen
0:12:18 > 0:12:22# I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
0:12:22 > 0:12:25# When I get rubber in all four gears
0:12:25 > 0:12:28# She's my little deuce coupe

0:12:43 > 0:12:45# You don't know what I got.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48# Little deuce coupe You don't know what I got. #
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I think they're in for a hell of a concert.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Let's go!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So, Murry and Audree decide to go on vacation and they left
0:13:02 > 0:13:04some food money for the boys
0:13:04 > 0:13:08to subsist on, you know, while they were gone.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I can't believe they left us there all alone
0:13:10 > 0:13:12without any supervision, when I think about it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16The guys spent all the money in the first couple of days.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18'Go!'
0:13:18 > 0:13:21And I suggested, "Why don't we take this thing just one step further?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23"Why don't we go out and rent some instruments?"
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I think it was Mike that suggested that maybe
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I could ask my mother if she could finance
0:13:29 > 0:13:33the...the rental equipment,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37which at that time, was pretty...pretty daunting.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38So, I said, "Look, if we are going to do this,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41"we're going to have to go...we're going to have to audition for her.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46"Otherwise, I don't know what... I can't just ask for 300 bucks."
0:13:46 > 0:13:51So, we all sat around in a circle on the floor and sang Surfin'.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# Got up this morning Turned on my radio
0:13:54 > 0:13:56# I was checking on the surfing scene to see if I would go.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01# And when the DJ tells me that the surfin' is fine... #
0:14:01 > 0:14:04We got the song down pretty good, so we played it for the Wilsons
0:14:04 > 0:14:07when they came back home. We got a favourable response.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11And he said he'd go meet his publisher friend up in Hollywood
0:14:11 > 0:14:15and arrange for a session for us to record it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19We got the word the KFWB had added it to the playlist.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22The deal was, there were like four or five songs they played
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and the one that got the most call-ins
0:14:24 > 0:14:26would be the featured song of the next week.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32My mom and Brian, Dennis and Carl's dad are brother and sister,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and she is one of eight kids.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41And so all the cousins, all of us, you know, everybody, Alan,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43everybody's friends, high school, we all called in.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It was like thousands of people calling in on this.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Or hundreds, anyway. And so we won. Easily.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And so we got featured the next week and that kind of gave us a start.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55# Bop, dip-dip-dip-dip Bop, bop, dip-dip-dip... #
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Hearing it on the radio the first time, that was amazing.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Brian and Dennis were telling stories,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03they heard in their car, you know, on the car radio,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06and they were shouting at the top of their lungs and out the windows.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And the neighbours would say, you know, they had heard it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It was just...
0:15:11 > 0:15:13You know, it was a cool feeling.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16# Surfing is the only life The only way for me
0:15:16 > 0:15:18# Bop, dip-dip-dip...#
0:15:18 > 0:15:21We did Surfin' with Al Jardine, then Al quit.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26I wasn't so sure I was going to have a future doing that,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30because I was pretty motivated to get my degree.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34And, um... But I shared the excitement with the guys.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38I remember watching Bonanza in my pyjamas one Sunday night
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and these guys came knocking at the door and asked me
0:15:40 > 0:15:43to do the demos for Capitol Records with them.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Cos they were pretty sure Capitol was going to sign us by that time.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49David was the original signatory, along with Brian, Dennis, Carl Wilson
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and Mike love on the Capitol record's contract.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I mean, Surfin' was a minor hit and was played...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and it was successful in a couple...in a few markets.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03But it was a very small label.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Our next song was everywhere released on radio, it was Surfin' Safari
0:16:07 > 0:16:10on one side and 409 on the other.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13# Early in the mornin' We'll be startin' out
0:16:13 > 0:16:16# Some honeys will be comin' along. #
0:16:16 > 0:16:20First five albums, two or three tours
0:16:20 > 0:16:23and we worked our butts off promoting the band.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Played, like Mike said, all these little...crappy little venues,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31like on the roof of Broadway department stores
0:16:31 > 0:16:32and that kind of stuff.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- Radio stations. - Yeah, a lot of radio stations.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39It was a lot of work, I mean, four sets a night, you know.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41And travelling in a station wagon with a U-Haul trailer
0:16:41 > 0:16:42with our equipment.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45We would finish four sets at a high school dance,
0:16:45 > 0:16:50pack the station wagon up and drive 800 miles to the next gig, you know.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52So, we worked really hard.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58# Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world. #
0:16:58 > 0:17:02We were driving to a show one day and Sherry came on the radio
0:17:02 > 0:17:04and Brian said, "Let's learn that when we get to the gig."
0:17:04 > 0:17:07We went in the bathroom and learned it before the show.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- I don't know if... Remember that? - Yeah.- Sherry baby.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11First time we heard it was on the way there.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I think we did Papa-oom-mow-mow, I'm not sure.- Papa-oom-mow-mow.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Papa-oom-mow-mow. I think we did What I Say.- Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Kansas City, Louie Louie. - Kansas City, Louie Louie.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- A lot of instrumentals. - Johnny B Goode.- Johnny B Goode, yes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28# Tach it up, tach it up Buddy gonna shut you down. #
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Towards the end of the summer, things got very difficult
0:17:32 > 0:17:34between David and Murry.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And it just fell apart.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You know, getting the call from Brian
0:17:38 > 0:17:39was kind of a wake-up call for me.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I realised, "Yeah, I really do miss this, and I miss these guys."
0:17:42 > 0:17:47You know? And, uh... The bug, I got the bug.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49# Well, she got her daddy's car
0:17:49 > 0:17:52# And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
0:17:53 > 0:17:56# Seems she forgot all about the library
0:17:56 > 0:17:58# Like she told her old man now
0:17:59 > 0:18:01# And with the radio blasting
0:18:01 > 0:18:05# Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
0:18:05 > 0:18:07# And she'll have fun, fun, fun
0:18:07 > 0:18:09# Till her daddy takes the T-Bird away
0:18:09 > 0:18:12# Fun, fun, fun till her daddy takes the T-bird away. #
0:18:12 > 0:18:15There's nothing like it, you know, when you hear Brian's falsetto,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Mike's baritone and Carl and me in the middle.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oooh! I mean, you could hear it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25It blew my mind that he could have four parts in his head
0:18:25 > 0:18:29and it was all I could do to learn and hang on to one.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30And he has got four.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35So, you know, you can't mess with Brian when it comes to harmony.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36# Well, you knew all along
0:18:36 > 0:18:39# That your dad was getting wise to you now
0:18:39 > 0:18:41# You shouldn't have lied now You shouldn't have lied
0:18:41 > 0:18:43# And since he took your set of keys,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45# You've been thinking That your fun is all through now
0:18:45 > 0:18:47# You shouldn't have lied now You shouldn't have lied
0:18:47 > 0:18:49# But you can come along with me
0:18:49 > 0:18:51# Cos we got a lot of things to do now
0:18:51 > 0:18:53# You shouldn't have lied now You shouldn't have lied
0:18:53 > 0:18:57# And we'll have fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away
0:18:57 > 0:19:00# Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away. #
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You know, I was mainly just a singer and lyricist.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And maybe a hookman.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Like, to come up with a hook idea here and there.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13For me, Chuck Berry was such an inspiration lyrically
0:19:13 > 0:19:15because of the way that he formed his words
0:19:15 > 0:19:22and how his guitar licks kind of moved those along.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26And the vignettes that he was describing that were taking place
0:19:26 > 0:19:28in various areas of life.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30When he did a song like...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33"When I got on a city bus and found me a vacant seat,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35"I thought I saw my future bride walking down the street,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38"I shouted to the driver, 'Hey, conductor, you must slow down,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40'I think I see her, please, let me off the bus.'"
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Well, when we came up with Fun, Fun, Fun, I said,
0:19:44 > 0:19:45"Well, she got her daddy's car
0:19:45 > 0:19:48"and she cruised through the hamburger stand now.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50"Seems she forgot all about the library."
0:19:50 > 0:19:52So, it's alliteration, it's syncopation,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54it's all this good stuff.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57And because of Brian's ability to craft the harmonies,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00he came up with a whole unique sound.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It was a lot of fun to create those songs
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and even more fun to hear them on the radio.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08In fact, I remember Brian being so impulsive that
0:20:08 > 0:20:12when we would do a song with Western Recorders
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and finish the song, whatever song it was,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16he'd go to the radio station
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and have it played on the air just so we could hear it played back.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24Which is... You know, the record company would be crazy because,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28"Hey, wait a minute, we want to get it all set up to promote and release
0:20:28 > 0:20:32"and all this kind of stuff." "Uh-uh." Immediate gratification.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36# Round, round, get around I get around
0:20:36 > 0:20:37# Yeah
0:20:37 > 0:20:39# Get around, round, round, I get around

0:22:18 > 0:22:21# Get around, round, round I get around
0:22:21 > 0:22:24# Get around, round, round I get around. #
0:22:30 > 0:22:33At that point, Brian Wilson had several jobs.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37He wrote the songs, you know, with a lot of good, cool writers
0:22:37 > 0:22:39and several of the songs, of course, with Mike Love.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So, he wrote it, he arranged it, he produced it, he's sang it
0:22:43 > 0:22:44and he had to go on the road.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48So, you can't do that. You just totally collapse.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50And before that happened,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Glen Campbell came in our band for three months.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Then, his career kind of started and Mike called me, Mike Love,
0:22:55 > 0:22:56do I know anyone?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And I called ten people, they couldn't make it,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02so I wound up getting on a plane two or three hours later
0:23:02 > 0:23:06and the first Beach Boy concert - April 9, 1965 -
0:23:06 > 0:23:09that I sang onstage took place in New Orleans.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12# Help me, Rhonda, please, get her out of my heart. #
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Carl probably was 17, we were at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I had been in the band about 12.5 minutes,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24so, of course, I was already famous.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27And this lady ran up to us, she said,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29"Oh, you guys are the Beach Boys, right?"
0:23:29 > 0:23:34And I said, puffed up, you know, "Of course, yes we are." She said,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38"Oh, that's great, could you get us two towels and two chairs?"
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, Brian was just pointing out, California Girls was done right here.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Mike was standing almost right where you are, facing the booth,
0:23:49 > 0:23:50singing California Girls.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And Brian was in the studio with Chuck Britz, the engineer.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57And when they were doing the track prior to doing the vocals,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I was out in the hallway writing the words out.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02It was like a real simultaneous thing.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04We knew from the beginning that one was going to be good.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I mean, they were all good.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Everything we were doing was pretty good.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16# Well, East Coast girls are hip
0:24:16 > 0:24:21# I really dig those styles they wear
0:24:21 > 0:24:25# And the Southern girls with the way they talk
0:24:25 > 0:24:29# They knock me out when I'm down there
0:24:29 > 0:24:33# The Midwest farmers' daughters
0:24:33 > 0:24:38# Really make you feel all right
0:24:38 > 0:24:42# And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
0:24:42 > 0:24:45# They keep their boyfriends warm at night #
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Everybody sing!
0:24:46 > 0:24:51# I wish they all could be California
0:24:51 > 0:24:55# I wish they all could be California
0:24:55 > 0:25:02# I wish they all could be California girls
0:25:02 > 0:25:07# The West Coast has the sunshine
0:25:07 > 0:25:11# And the girls all get so tan
0:25:11 > 0:25:15# I dig a French bikini on Hawaii Island
0:25:15 > 0:25:18# Dolls by a palm tree in the sand
0:25:20 > 0:25:23# I've been all around this great big world
0:25:23 > 0:25:28# And I've seen all kind of girls
0:25:28 > 0:25:32# But I couldn't wait to get back in the States
0:25:32 > 0:25:36# Back to the cutest girls in the world
0:25:36 > 0:25:41# I wish they all could be California
0:25:41 > 0:25:44# I wish they all could be California
0:25:44 > 0:25:47# I wish they all could be
0:25:47 > 0:25:53# California girls
0:25:57 > 0:26:02# I wish they all could be California
0:26:02 > 0:26:05# I wish they all could be California
0:26:05 > 0:26:10# I wish they all could be California
0:26:10 > 0:26:14# I wish they all could be California
0:26:14 > 0:26:18# I wish they all could be California
0:26:18 > 0:26:22# I wish they all could be California
0:26:22 > 0:26:26# I wish they all could be California
0:26:26 > 0:26:31# I wish they all could be California
0:26:31 > 0:26:35# I wish they all could be California
0:26:35 > 0:26:39# I wish they all could be California
0:26:39 > 0:26:43# I wish they all could be California
0:26:43 > 0:26:46# I wish they all could be... #
0:26:53 > 0:26:55We sounded good on that one!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22We pitched sounds and I tried to make a sketchbook that represented
0:27:22 > 0:27:24my whole life. And I did.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28I heard Rubber Soul and that was, like, such a mind blower to me
0:27:28 > 0:27:30that I wanted to try to top it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I felt challenged by it, you know.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I told the guys I wanted to write an album,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37a different kind of an album than we were used to doing.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41We all worked our buns off doing the harmonies.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Like, I started calling him Stalin Of The Studio.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51# Good night, oh, baby
0:27:51 > 0:27:55# Sleep tight, baby
0:27:55 > 0:27:58# Good night, oh, baby.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03# Good night, baby, good night Sleep tight. #
0:28:04 > 0:28:09In 1966, I decided to go to England
0:28:09 > 0:28:13and so Derek Taylor set up some interviews and Kim Fowley,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16my dear friend from high school, wacky, wonderful guy,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20met me in London and I did all of these interviews
0:28:20 > 0:28:22with the two Pet Sounds albums that I brought,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24unreleased in England,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28and Kim introduced me to Keith Moon,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30who would have left The Who in a heartbeat
0:28:30 > 0:28:31if he could be in the Beach boys.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Anyway, so, the last night I went out
0:28:33 > 0:28:38and I came in and in my suite, I walk in,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42and there is Lennon and McCartney, waiting to hear Pet Sounds.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44So, I put it on.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47They made me play it again and then I found out later
0:28:47 > 0:28:52that they kind of distilled the vibe of Wouldn't It Be Nice
0:28:52 > 0:28:56into the Revolver album for Here, There And Everywhere.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Paul and I have known each other since 1966.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04And he came to one of my recording sessions in 1966.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07With Derek Taylor there, his publicist, the Beatles' publicist.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12And he...he just talk to me for a bit and then he left.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17And then I saw him again in 1980...1979.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20He came over to my house in Bel Air with his wife, Linda,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and his two kids.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25And they played the piano for a half hour and then they left.
0:29:25 > 0:29:31And then I met him again in 1990...2003 in London.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33And then I got to know him a little bit.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35And then I saw him again.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37He came to a couple of my concerts in England, in London,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40and we talked and talked and talked all night one night.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44# I keep looking for a place
0:29:44 > 0:29:50# To fit in where I can speak my mind
0:29:50 > 0:29:54# And I've been trying hard to find
0:29:54 > 0:30:01# The people that I won't leave behind
0:30:01 > 0:30:07# They say I got brains but they ain't doing me no good
0:30:07 > 0:30:11# I wish they could
0:30:11 > 0:30:16# Each time things start to happen to me
0:30:16 > 0:30:21# I think I've got something good going for myself
0:30:21 > 0:30:24# But what goes wrong... #
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Good Vibrations. Take one.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Good Vibrations.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34I know when I heard the mix, the final mix, I said to the band,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37"This is either number one or the career is over."
0:30:42 > 0:30:48How the heck is this song going to relate to ordinary mortals?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I was a frustrated artist
0:30:52 > 0:30:55and producer that wanted to do something great like Spector.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I wanted to do something good like Phil Spector.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- Brian, where did you get the idea for theremin?- Theremin?- Yeah.- Carl.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Really?- He said, "Why don't we use a theremin and a cello?"
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- Get out!- Honest.- Carl Wilson said that?- Yeah.- A theremin?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Carl suggested using a theremin and a cello bow.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- God, I never knew that. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It went to number one,
0:31:25 > 0:31:30and on the basis of Good Vibrations being number one in England,
0:31:30 > 0:31:35we were voted in 1966 in a music trade magazine in England
0:31:35 > 0:31:38the number one group in Great Britain, number two being
0:31:38 > 0:31:41the Beatles, number three being The Stones.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Somebody just uncovered some old 16mm footage,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48black and white footage of the Good Vibrations session.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I'm anxious to have a look at it.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Let's hear the guitars, please, in B.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57GUITAR STRUMMING
0:32:06 > 0:32:08OK, that's fine, let's make it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Take one.- Al, let's go, man. Here we go.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Let's play hard and strong, all the way.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16One. Two. One, two, three.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28Let's hit real hard on the very last A flat. Boom!
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Watch me on that part.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Are we ready? Let's go.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Take five, Good Vibrations.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46# I'm pickin' up good vibrations
0:32:46 > 0:32:49# She's givin' me excitations
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- # I'm pickin' up good vibrations - Bop, bop, good vibrations
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- # She's givin' me excitations - Bop, bop, excitations
0:32:55 > 0:32:59# Good, good, good, good vibrations

0:33:05 > 0:33:08# She's givin' me excitations
0:33:08 > 0:33:14# Close my eyes She is somehow closer now
0:33:14 > 0:33:18# Softly smile I know she must be kind
0:33:21 > 0:33:26# When I look in her eyes
0:33:26 > 0:33:30# She goes with me to a blossom world
0:33:33 > 0:33:36# I'm pickin' up good vibrations
0:33:36 > 0:33:40# She's givin' me excitations

0:33:59 > 0:34:03# Tations...
0:34:12 > 0:34:15# Aaaaaaaah
0:34:15 > 0:34:18# Good vibrations
0:34:18 > 0:34:22# I don't know where but she sends me there
0:34:22 > 0:34:25# Ah, my, my, what a sensation
0:34:25 > 0:34:29# My, my, my, what an elation
0:34:29 > 0:34:31# My, my, my, what...
0:34:38 > 0:34:44# Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
0:34:44 > 0:34:46# A-happenin' with her
0:34:46 > 0:34:51# Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
0:34:51 > 0:34:53# A-happenin' with her
0:34:53 > 0:34:58# Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
0:34:58 > 0:35:00# A-happenin'...
0:35:10 > 0:35:15# Aaaaaaah!
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- # Good, good, good, good vibrations - Bop, bop, good vibrations
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- # She's givin' me excitations - Bop, bop, excitations
0:35:21 > 0:35:27- # Good, good, good, good vibrations - Bop, bop, good vibrations

0:35:34 > 0:35:37# Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na
0:35:37 > 0:35:40# Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do... #
0:36:02 > 0:36:04While we are making the takes, Bob,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06we won't be able to have that camera going.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12If they told me back in the '60s we would be doing this in 2012,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I would say, "You're crazy. You're crazy."
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Well, Pet Sounds was a labour of love,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22it took quite a few months to get that done.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26This new one came real fast and spontaneous.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27We really did a good job.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31# Dooo... #
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Mike still has his lyrical genius, yeah.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37He wrote some good lyrics for this album and he's really wonderful.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46We love each other and it comes out in the music in our harmonies,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48"I love."
0:36:55 > 0:36:59# We've got beaches in mind
0:37:00 > 0:37:03# Man, it's been too much time
0:37:05 > 0:37:07# Woke me up before dawn
0:37:07 > 0:37:12# Wish I could sleep some more so I could carry on
0:37:12 > 0:37:17# With the dream I've been meaning to make come true
0:37:17 > 0:37:20# And that is to get away with you. #
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Brian is really writing great stuff now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28And it gives me that feeling that we've turned a corner,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30a little bit of a corner on this one.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31It could be very special.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37It was a revelation, a miracle that you could just start right up again.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Standing around the mic together like that,
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I describe it as a bubble of consciousness.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45When it is just right, we became one person.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49And as a result, we suck in the audience, they come into our bubble.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I couldn't believe how well their voices still held up, you know?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Michael's singing voice is still strong like it was.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Bruce and mine and Al's voices were, you know, right on the dime.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03# Dit, dit, dooo
0:38:03 > 0:38:07# Dit, dit, dooo... #
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Right on, let's record.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12And I think it sound like 1965 when you hear the playback
0:38:12 > 0:38:14of all the voices, all the parts,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17the vocal parts that Brian came up with.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20And it is really amazing to hear that back.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23It makes you feel like, "Wow, there is no lapse in time."
0:38:23 > 0:38:25It is kind of like seamless, you know?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27From where we were last time we were together till now.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- And perpetual.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33# Spring vacation
0:38:33 > 0:38:36# Good vibration
0:38:36 > 0:38:39# Summer weather
0:38:39 > 0:38:42# We're back together! #
0:38:42 > 0:38:44We have been working for a few months on it.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46We put a lot of love in our harmonies, you know?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48We have some really, really good love in there.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52# Hey, what's it to ya?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55# Better alleluia. #
0:38:55 > 0:38:57There is something extra special there that...
0:38:57 > 0:39:00that just keeps coming through.
0:39:00 > 0:39:07# Tuning in the latest star... #
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Brian Wilson and Michael, they were born with writing magic.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13And there is this really great song,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16it's called That's Why God Made The Radio.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19I think the harmonies are pretty good. They're pretty rich.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21You know? A lot of them.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24So, if you like harmony, man, this is going to knock your socks off.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Just as good as 50 years ago, believe it or not.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- # That's why God made the radio - That's why God made...
0:39:32 > 0:39:35# That's why God made...
0:39:35 > 0:39:40# So tune right in everywhere you go
0:39:40 > 0:39:46# He waved His hand Gave us rock 'n' roll
0:39:46 > 0:39:50# The soundtrack of falling in love
0:39:50 > 0:39:55# Falling in love Falling in...
0:39:55 > 0:40:01# That's why God made the radio
0:40:01 > 0:40:05# Feel the music in the air
0:40:08 > 0:40:14# Find a song to take us there
0:40:14 > 0:40:20# It's paradise when I Lift up my antenna
0:40:20 > 0:40:26# Receiving your signal like a prayer
0:40:26 > 0:40:30# Like a prayer
0:40:30 > 0:40:36- # That's why God made the radio - That's why God made...
0:40:36 > 0:40:42# So tune right in everywhere you go
0:40:42 > 0:40:48# He waved His hand Gave us rock 'n' roll
0:40:48 > 0:40:52# The soundtrack of falling in love
0:40:52 > 0:40:56# Falling in love Falling in...
0:40:56 > 0:41:03# That's why God made the radio
0:41:03 > 0:41:09- # Making this night of celebration - Celebration
0:41:09 > 0:41:12# Spreading the love and sunshine
0:41:12 > 0:41:16# To a whole new generation
0:41:16 > 0:41:19# A whole new generation
0:41:19 > 0:41:23# That's why God made...
0:41:23 > 0:41:26# That's why God made...

0:41:32 > 0:41:36# That's why God made...
0:41:36 > 0:41:39# That's why God made...
0:41:39 > 0:41:45# That's why God made the radio
0:41:45 > 0:41:46# For falling in love
0:41:46 > 0:41:49# That's why God made...
0:41:49 > 0:41:52# That's why God made...

0:42:18 > 0:42:25# That's why God made the radio. #
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Hey, all right!
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Thank you so much.
0:42:37 > 0:42:44# Summer's gone
0:42:44 > 0:42:51# Summer's gone away
0:42:51 > 0:42:57# Gone away
0:42:57 > 0:43:01# With yesterday
0:43:01 > 0:43:04# Aah-ooh
0:43:04 > 0:43:11# Old friends have grown
0:43:11 > 0:43:18# They've gone there separate ways
0:43:18 > 0:43:21# Our dreams... #
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Dennis' life was flat out pretty much all the way
0:43:24 > 0:43:26from the day I met him.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29He was always coming over to the house and dragging me out
0:43:29 > 0:43:30on some adventure.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34And just I didn't know what to expect from day to day.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36It was always great.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38And he just carried that through his whole life -
0:43:38 > 0:43:41when he got his driver's licence, when he got his drums.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44He loved being a Beach Boy.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48He just had a way of making everyone that he came in contact with
0:43:48 > 0:43:49feel special.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52And just everyone loved him.
0:43:52 > 0:43:57Later on, he started writing some really, really soulful songs.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Gut-wrenching soul.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Just from the heart.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05And they're pretty impressive. He surprised everyone.
0:44:05 > 0:44:12# If every word I said could make you laugh
0:44:12 > 0:44:14# I'd talk forever
0:44:14 > 0:44:18# Together, my love
0:44:20 > 0:44:25# I ask the sky just what we had
0:44:25 > 0:44:28# It shone forever
0:44:28 > 0:44:30# Together, my love. #
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Dennis and I used to ride motorcycles
0:44:35 > 0:44:37and he took it up to Death Valley.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42And so he rides his motorcycle down a mine,
0:44:42 > 0:44:45you know, just choog, choog, choog...
0:44:45 > 0:44:48And he runs into some minors and, "What are you guys doing?"
0:44:48 > 0:44:52"Well, we're digging for gold." "Oh, have you found any gold yet?"
0:44:52 > 0:44:54"No, we haven't found any gold."
0:44:54 > 0:44:58Dennis comes back a week later with the motorcycle -
0:44:58 > 0:45:00choog-a-choog-a-choog.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02"Have you guys found any gold yet?"
0:45:02 > 0:45:05And the miners said, "No."
0:45:05 > 0:45:07He said, "Well, I brought you something for the mine."
0:45:07 > 0:45:11He brings them a gold album to hang on the wall of the mine
0:45:11 > 0:45:13so they had some gold in the mine.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16# Forever
0:45:16 > 0:45:20# Forever... #
0:45:31 > 0:45:36# I sailed an ocean An unsettled ocean
0:45:36 > 0:45:43# Through restful waters And deep commotion
0:45:44 > 0:45:48# Often frightened
0:45:48 > 0:45:50# Unenlightened
0:45:50 > 0:45:57# Sail on, sail on, sailor
0:45:57 > 0:46:04# I wrest the waters Fine Neptune's waters
0:46:04 > 0:46:10# Sailed through the sorrows of life's marauders
0:46:11 > 0:46:17# Unrepenting, often empty
0:46:17 > 0:46:23# Sail on, sail on, sailor
0:46:23 > 0:46:29Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sale
0:46:29 > 0:46:36Bought like a crust of bread But, oh, do I wail
0:46:36 > 0:46:40# Seldom stumble, never crumble
0:46:40 > 0:46:43# Try to tumble, life's a rumble
0:46:44 > 0:46:48# Feel the stingin' I've been given
0:46:48 > 0:46:52# Never-ending, unrelenting
0:46:53 > 0:46:57# Heartbreak searing, always fearing
0:46:57 > 0:47:00# Never caring, persevering
0:47:00 > 0:47:07# Sail on, sail on, sailor
0:47:07 > 0:47:11# I work the seaways
0:47:11 > 0:47:14# The gale-swept seaways
0:47:14 > 0:47:20# Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
0:47:21 > 0:47:27# Uninspired, drenched and tired
0:47:27 > 0:47:33# Wail on, wail on, sailor
0:47:33 > 0:47:37# Always needing, ever bleeding
0:47:37 > 0:47:40# Never feeding all my feelings
0:47:42 > 0:47:44# Damn the thunder, must I blunder
0:47:44 > 0:47:48# There's no wonder all I'm under
0:47:50 > 0:47:53# Stop the crying and the lying
0:47:53 > 0:47:57# And the sighing and my dying
0:47:57 > 0:48:03# Sail on, sail on, sailor
0:48:03 > 0:48:08# Sail on, sail on, sailor
0:48:10 > 0:48:14# Sail on, sail on, sailor
0:48:14 > 0:48:17# Sail on, sail on, sail on...
0:48:17 > 0:48:22- # Sail on, sail on, sailor - Sail on! Sail on, sail on!
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Brian Wilson.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29Nice one. Woo!
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Nice work, Brian, nice work.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48We lost Carl in... I think '98 it was.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51And I thought, "Man, it might be time to close up shop for now."
0:48:51 > 0:48:54But, you know, there is always that thing,
0:48:54 > 0:48:57the music is just bigger than any of us.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00# I may not always love you
0:49:00 > 0:49:05# But as long as there are stars above you
0:49:05 > 0:49:08# You'll never need to doubt it
