Brian Wilson Live at the Roxy Theater...

[Doug Millison]

...is a great CD.  A two-CD set, in fact. Available at 
http://www.brianwilson.com.  I just got mine in the mail and listened 
to it today and can't recommend it highly enough. If this is what he 
and his band sound like on the current tour, I'm there when they get 
to the Bay Area.

FWIW:
"I told him about the Dylan assignment. 'You ought to do one on The 
Beach Boys,' he said. I pretended to ignore that. A year or so later, 
I was in Los Angeles again, doing a story for the Post on The Beach 
Boys. He had forgotten his earlier remark and was no longer 
especially interested in them. I took him to my apartment in Laurel 
Canyon, got him royally loaded and made him lie down on the floor 
with a speaker at each ear while I played Pet Sounds, their most 
interesting and least popular record. It
was not then fashionable to take The Beach Boys seriously. 'Ohhhhh,' 
he sighed softly with stunned pleasure after the record was done. 
'Now I understand why
you are writing a story about them.' "
