Product Description: This celebration of Beach Boys guiding light Brian Wilson, recorded in March 2001 at New York's Radio City Music Hall, may be the best tribute concert ever. Wilson himself appears toward the end of the 90-minute show; he's game, but after decades of mental problems, he's not what he once was. It's his admirers who take the event to another level. Backed by the remarkable Wondermints, a diverse lineup (Ricky Martin, the Go-Go's, Billy Joel, Aimee Mann and Michael Penn, Wilson Phillips--with Brian's two daughters--and others) perform both obvious ("California Girls") and more obscure ("I Just Wasn't Made for These Times") Wilson material. And then there are Elton John ("God Only Knows"), Vince Gill ("The Warmth of the Sun"), Paul Simon ("Surfer Girl"), Heart's Wilson sisters ("Good Vibrations"), and Carly Simon, David Crosby, and songwriter Jimmy Webb ("In My Room"), who turn in performances that are, quite simply, among the greatest of their careers. Transcendent. --Sam Graham

Radio City Tribute to Brian Wilson
This Tribute to Brian Wilson is an awesome act of love and recognition by our rock and pop superstars as well as lovers of the Beach Boys sound. A must have addition for any Beach Boys enthusiast!

Awesome!
Excellent performances especially by Vince Gill, Elton John, and David Crosby. For anyone who is a Beach Boys fan or, more specifically, appreciates the accomplishments of Brian Wilson, this is a 'must own it' tribute concert. One that can be watched over and over again.

Beautiful picture + Good Sound Quality + Some goods songs = Worth buying
My favorite song on this DVD is "Love and Mercy". The lyrics are sentimental. The music is soothing. I bought the DVD because of this song
The other good thing about this DVD is you can turn the lyrics on. This helps me sing along the song mentioned above. I wish all the music DVD's have this feature.

Fabulous!
Awesome concert! I bought it specifically for Vince Gill's performances but there are several other wonderful performances worth watching. "Surfs Up" with Vince and Crosby is beautiful and almost heartbreaking.
