Brian Wilson performs Smile in London

I'm sure there's a few Beach Boys fans here...


Beach Boys star Brian Wilson has played the 'lost' album 'Smile' for the first time ever in London.

...

After a short interval Wilson then returned to the stage where ’Smile’ was played for the first time in full.

The concept album was originally intended for release in 1967, around the same time The Beatles put out 'Sgt Pepper'. However, Wilson had a breakdown and the album was never finished, giving it almost mythical status amongst fans.

Throughout the performance Wilson appeared in good form, leading the band through songs like ’Heroes And Villains’ and ’Vegetables’, that saw each member of the group playing multiple instruments in the same song, while making use of more unconventional items such as hammers and saws. The set ended with a storming run-through ’Good Vibrations’
