DVD Reviews of Pet Sounds Live in London

DVD Review: For those who don't know there was once a 23 year old Wilson
Summary: 5 Stars

Heard the album before using the internet to find out who this guy was and what he had done. Have read none of the other reviews as of writing this. What I see here is a guy in his sixties with a voice that can communicate lyrics but is not what one would call a good one. The band does a fine job with instrumental and vocal accompaniment. There is little talk and no electronic fireworks: just a variety of songs in different moods and tempos. Taking it for what it is and not what it might have been forty years before, I rate it as quite enjoyable, a good evening's entertainment...particularly because Wilson let me hear the lyrics. I doubt if anyone will think of this as a thrilling experience; definitely it is easy listening.

DVD Review: not in the original key
Summary: 3 Stars

One important element of appreciation of the Pet Sounds shows is that the original keys were not used, in order to allow Brian to sing everything himself.
For example, "Wouldn't it be nice" is in D instead of the original F.
This makes the music sound flat; the tension that you could feel in the original recording is no longer there. High voices are too much a trademark of the Beach Boys music to let it slip way: ok, Brian lost his falsetto, but maybe he could leave the lead vocals to someone else from time to time.


DVD Review: PET SOUNDS LIVE....... BRIAN WILSONS AMAZING WALL OF PSYCHEDELIC SOUND. MUST BE WATCHED AND HEARD ON A THEATRE SYSTEM.........
Summary: 5 Stars

ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL, LONDON JANUARY 27-30- JUNE 9-10 2002 BRIAN WILSON AND THE WONDERMINTS PERFORM PET SOUNDS. An historical rock performance by musical genius Brian Wilson and his amazing well tuned band The Wondermints. Each song from "Would'nt It Be Nice" to "Caroline No" are performed brilliantly despite Brians older voice which holds up really well. His band the Wondermints perform with the love of Brians music in their hearts which translates to a beautiful vibrant concert performance. Watching this concert you really see and hear Pet Sounds disected live and get more of an appreciation for this historical landmark album. I read other reviews that this dvd should of had more songs, I like that this dvd mostly covers Pet Sounds, the last song performed is "Good Vibrations", you pay more attention to the Pet Sounds concert than you would if Brian and his band were preforming other songs in this London performance. The only negative; I wish the other Beach Boys (Carl, Al, Bruce, Dennis and Mike) were on the stage performing with Brian, but that did'nt take anything away from this amazing concert. Brian Wilsons collaberator for Pet Sounds Tony Asher is in the audience as well. I wish Phil Spectors Wall Of Sound (The Wrecking Crew) could have been performing on stage. DVD extras: The Brian Wilson documentary is very informative and a very facinating look into the Pet Sounds creation. The theatre sound DOLBY DTS is an incredible listen I swear you'll feel like your their. I was just glad to see Brian up there on that stage and god I'm happy he is back performing. An awesome concert performance, a must own dvd for any Beach Boys or rock fan in general. WELCOME BACK BRIAN, BELIEVE ME DUDE YOU HAVE BEEN SORELY MISSED..............

DVD Review: Brian Wilson Resurfaces with a winner
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is not a documentry but a special Concert by Beach Boy
Genius Brain Wilson - who hand picked some younger unknown Rockers to play the entire 1966 Beach Boys - Pet Sounds album
live at the Royal Albert Hall, London last year.

If you like the Pet Sounds album you will love this DVD because
its the first time the whole album was ever preformed live! Sorry
folks no other Beach Boys are involved in this preformance!
Mike Love and Brian have been fighting for years over the Dr. Landy episode and other hurtful Jelosey episodes etc.. Al Jardine's mad about not being aloud to use the Beach Boy's name after he was kick out of the band and Bruce Johnson went surfing
Brain's brothers Carl and Denny are both in Rock n Roll heaven now.

Brian Wison was only 23 years old in 1966 and Pet Sounds was his
10th Beach Boys album (Amazing) and yes we all know he is a Crazy
Genius but some how he just looks like a normal aging Rocker on
stage now! I GUESS THATS WHY HE LAID IN BED FOR TEN YEARS so he could think up and plan this concert which is very well preformed by all ( Remember this is the album most respected by all the Royality of Rock: Paul McCartney - Linsey Buckingham etc..etc... ) so they had their hands full,
I like it (I saw the Beach Boys Live 4 times) and this is the best performace seen so far by me of their material.

I know that the other Beach Boys did not actually play the instruments on the backing track of the album (Spectors Wrecking Crew Did). Mike, Carl, Al, Bruce and Denny were on a heavy concert tour in 1966, but they put the ecellent vocals on top after they got back! Wouldn't it have been nice if the other boys were there too oh well that's a common problem in Rock (ego) what a shame Mike, Bruce and Carl was not involved in this
Mike Love still sings and sounds the same you know and Al's Guitar still works you know. It's like Robert Plant and Jimmy Page deal ( Not even asking John Paul Jones )to play Led Zepplin songs on a show what a waste ( I'm still crying about that )

That's only thing wrong with this DVD lack of participation
by the surviving members of the Beach Boys. What a shame
can't we just all get along in this world

DVD Review: Horribly produced concert video
Summary: 1 Stars

This DVD is absolutely unwatchable because of the way it is edited. There are cuts from shot to shot just about every 3-5 seconds and it will make you dizzy to watch it. To me, the director/editing of this thing completely ruined Brian Wilson's performance. Any director/producer/editor of concert videos needs to study The Last Waltz to see how it's done. Fewer cuts, fewer close ups, etc. Too bad this performance is ruined by a bad video document such as this DVD.
