Summary: Great Show
Review: Who ever filmed this concert must have known that this was a very special show. This is one of the best concert dvds that I've seen. This concert features all 5 original members ( plus late bloomer Bruce Johnston ) performing onstage together for the last time in the U. K.The boys were in fine form that memorable evening. The song selection is a mostly a hits - heavy set of oldies including "California Girls", "I Get Around", "Be True To Your School", "Fun Fun Fun", and particularly hot versions of "Help Me Rhonda" and "Barbara Ann". They also perform a few satisfying but not as well - received newer numbers, including the pretty "Lady Lynda" and a smokin' "Keepin' The Summer Alive". The band members themselves are top notch musically. Brian Wilson remains secluded behind the piano for the whole show, but contributes some lead vocal work on "Sloop John B", as well as on the heartbreaking performance of "Surfer Girl". The late Carl Wilson is just amazing on "God Only Knows", and Dennis Wilson's drumming is among his best. Unfortuneately, years of drug, cigarette and alcohol abuse seem to have caught up with him. But his voice still sounds beautiful on his lone solo number, a cover of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful". This is a perfect show. Sad and joyful all at once. All the songs you enjoy plus some other, less familliar numbers. However, I did notice some lyrical differences between this dvd and the cd, particularly on "Lady Lynda". On the cd, the a capella part is performed as, "Won't You Lye Lady, Sing Your Song Of Love", while on the dvd it's "Won't Lye Lady, Won't You Marry Me". These minor differences aside, this is a perfect dvd.
