Following mental health issues in June, and the subsequent death of his longtime guitarist, the Beach Boys co-founder sounded reassuringly strong in concert.
Brian Wilson fans had several reasons to breathe a sigh of relief after the hometown performance the Beach Boys’ creative leader delivered Thursday at the Greek Theatre.
Was it a passing affliction, or might he be sinking back into the psychological abyss in which he’d lived for much of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s?By the end of July, however, Wilson said he was “100% better” and ready to get back on the road. Tragically, last month, on the first day of a new round of shows, longtime Brian Wilson Band guitarist and singer Nick Walusko died in his sleep at age 59.
Brian Wilson, left, and Al Jardine were joined at the Greek Theatre by Billy Idol and latter-day Beach Boys member Blondie Chaplin, right. He shared the spotlight generously, handing lead vocals off to fellow founding member, guitarist-singer Al Jardine, on several songs, as well a few key numbers to Jardine’s son, Matt, who handles the stratospheric high notes Wilson once sang. Sahanajah also took lead vocals on “Darlin’” and “I Can Hear Music,” nailing songs originally sung by Carl Wilson, who died in 1998.
All the musical colors are intact, whether bass harmonica, baritone saxophone or bass flute played by musical director Paul von Mertens, trumpet, French horn, modified Theremin, steel guitar or banjo handled by multi-instrumentalist Probyn Gregory, a phalanx of guitars wielded by Al Jardine and Rob Bonfiglio or the wealth of percussive effects served up by drummer Mike D’Amico and percussionist Jim Laspesa.
