Worth watching.
I can't imagine what it's like to play the same songs over and over again for decades. To still be producing music, but to know that that music will likely never be as appreciated as the stuff you wrote decades ago. But you get a sense of it watching this,
The Beach Boys are so practiced that everything is crisp and clean and technically amazing. But it's clear the joy is long gone.
Still, theres a section in the back half where they start burning through the classics, ripping out storied, legendary track after storied, legendary track, and you remember just how incredible, how layered and rich the Beach Boys music was.
While you can tell that they long ago lost the joy of playing through those same hits decade after decade, those hits have such staying power, and the performances are so crisp and clean, that even without the joy, it's still something to behold. Worth watching just for that sequence.
Blast from the past
They sound so close to what I remember as a teenager . The only differance now is I can play it as loud as I like without my father going down to the basement to pull the fuse to my outlet LOL .
Pretty Good After 50 years
Good to see them perform together with a great backing band and interesting choice of songs. Disappointed that they did not include the tribute songs ("God Only Knows" with Carl Wilson and "Forever" with Dennis Wilson).
