Movie Reviews of The Beach Boys - Good Timin' (Live at Knebworth, England 1980)
Movie Review: Are you in A?
Summary: 5 Stars
There is probably no good reason for me to chime in here other than to correct a previous reviewer: Al Jardine doesn't ask Brian Wilson if he's okay, he asks if he is in A - as in the key of A, at the beginning of a song. Well, that's my interpretation anyway. I'll agree Brian really doesn't seem to recognize there is even an audience, and one can see the "Don't Panic" signs hung in the dim background light, but Brian is pounding away at the piano and sings his parts with conviction.
In spite of the cold and wet weather, the Beach Boys warm the audience with songs of California Girls, the sun, surfing. It's interesting to see the interaction between the band members. I was surprised to see Dennis' compelling drumming since he looks to be in a washed-out state. At one point he comes up front to sing harmonies alongside Mike Love. Dennis points to his ear as if to say he can't hear, he moves up next to Mike, who rolls his eyes and rather than put his arm around him, gives him the cold shoulder. Dennis doesn't seem bothered, and just continues doing his homeless-guy act. On another viewing, it may just be Dennis coyly playing the Surfer Girl, about whom they are singing. But at the end of the song, very briefly you see Carl going at Mike about something, with Dennis being the peacemaker. There are many of these nuances that you might miss on first viewing, it's a good reason to watch it a few times with your remote control close at hand. Al Jardine, Carl Wilson, and Bruce Johnston seem to be the glue holding the show together, and in spite of the cold weather and family hostilities, all made the effort to come to England for this show. I rate it 5 stars not because it's the most wonderful performance I've ever seen, but because it's reasonably good and captures an important American band at a good time. Good Timin' indeed.
Summary of The Beach Boys - Good Timin' (Live at Knebworth, England 1980)
It's entertaining, nostalgic, even poignant... not much more one could ask for from a Beach Boys concert. This 70-minute concert was the last time the complete group (brothers Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Bruce Johnston, plus backing musicians) would appear in the U.K., performing a mix of oldies ("California Girls," "Help Me Rhonda," "Fun, Fun, Fun," etc.) and some newer material. And if the show itself is somewhat pedestrian, it's still marvelous to see the three Wilsons together onstage, especially in view of the subsequent deaths of Dennis (in '83) and Carl (in '98), and Brian's eventual triumphant recovery from mental and emotional problems. To hear Carl sing so beautifully on "God Only Knows," or Dennis play drums with such power and emotion, or Brian, vacant but game, contribute a few lines to "Surfer Girl"... well, it might just bring a tear to your eye. --Sam GrahamArt House & International DVD Video
