| What Brian Wilson meant.
Anyone stay up for the documentary on BBC1 last night about the infamous Smile album ? 
Quality stuff. I was worried, that in rehersal that he wouldnt have been able to pull off performing it live, that his voice wasn't there after all the yrs. I needn't have worried.
LSD trips for everyone !

| | Caught it by chance. Very good documentary, made me want to buy 'Smile' even though I have almost everything by The Beach Boys. | | | |

| | I'm scared, surely it wasn't just the LSD that has him in that state! I caught it by chance aswell, i was feelin nervous for the poor c**t before the gig, i'm gonna have to get me hands on 'Smile', i eventually got round to gettin 'Pet Sounds' a while back and wasn't let down, the man is a true genius | | | |

| | Best song ever.
BRIAN WILSON is set to release the legendary ’GOOD VIBRATIONS’ as a single.
Released on November 29 through Nonesuch Records, the track will be the first single proper from Wilson’s recently-completed ‘lost’ album ‘Smile’.
‘Good Vibrations’ was originally released in 1966 as the first single from ‘Smile’ when it was originally set to be the Beach Boys’ follow-up to ‘Pet Sounds’, before the album was shelved due to a series of setbacks and Wilson’s fragile mental state.
After taking on legendary status as the most famous unreleased album of all time, Wilson and collaborator Van Dyke Parks resumed work on ‘Smile’ last year, and it was released last month following a live premiere at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 20 this year, some 37 years late.
Alongside ‘Heroes And Villains’, ‘Good Vibrations’ is the most famous song from the ‘Smile’ sessions. | | | |

| | He comes across as a likeable, humble sort of character and doesn't seem to take himself as seriously as people around him do. It was heartening to see him get the Smile monkey off his back after so many years. It's funny how things have a way of working themselves out - life is strange. | | | |
