1:36 he was about to break into the falsetto and thought "nope, not gonna happen" and dropped down on the fly. nice!

don't do drugs!

Broderick Crawford!

[dkshotwell]

Tragic really: All that musical genius constrained by an unbound mind. He looks so tightly wrapped here you just feel for him,

[SCBianchi]

Truly a diff time.

contrast this performance in 1976 with 1966

[aquamandrowning]

@alexandertarangerkin the knebworth proformance 1980 blows both of them out of the water

[runnersdialzero333]

@alexandertarangerkin And?

[alexandertarangerkin]

@runnersdialzero333

just interesting to compare his different view of himself as a musician in 76 compared to 66 (or maybe very late 65) when it was recorded in a baroque style like Pet Sounds and Today, here he reinvents it into a 'rock' song as brian actively tried to get a deeper voice, so it is slightly intended by him to be off-key and rought, he didnt give a darn!

[madahpesojnothgual]

"Ok thank you". Only Brian can get away with leaving whenever he wants. So cool.

[maybeidontgiveashit]

@madahpesojnothgual he actually did that because the stupid band of the show didn't stop when they should've.

[PamelaRP]

love his voice and this song. Thanks for posting this interview and these songs from an amazing man and his multi-talents. He has had alot of pain in his life and hopefully he is better now.

[frozenorange343]

Sure his falsetto's great but i always liked Brians gruff voice. Its cool.

[arvelaizto]

@balddanny72 wow!! wonderfull detail! the bass solo on piano! brian= genius!!

[foolery15]

yeah, let's have him sing a song originally recorded with like 6 different vocal parts and one of the better backing bands ever solo, on piano, with a backing band that couldn't be bothered to learn anything past the basic chords. i'm sure he'll be very comfortable and sound great.

[HuntersMoon73]

I would assume it was Brian's choice what he played. It would be a daunting choice for sure, but he did quite well.

[VegardMinde]

Love his voice ! -Yeyea.

[thebasslazers]

[arvelaizto]

[SnuffyWuffles]
