Product ReviewsThe Beach Boys: an American Band / Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn't Made for These Times (DVD)

Surf's Up: America's Band

I have loved the music of the Beach Boys ever since I was a teenager. I was born towards the end of the 1960's & so did not get the chance to revel in their music from the beginning. This Dvd catches me up from the beginning with the surf sound to Pet Sounds, then psychedelic late 60's and then the later years of tragedy, triump & resurgence. It also brought into focus the years when Brian Wilson stepped away from the limelight and into the studio, as well as, his time spent in seclusion. I first watched this years ago on VHS & was so glad to now have it on Dvd. Read full review...

Great movies. Cheap disc.

These two documentaries are among my favorites. I watch The Beach Boys: An American Band every 4th of July. The Brian Wilson doc is a gem.

The picture quality is quite poor though. The Brian Wilson film is ghosty and smudgy.
Really too bad.

I paid a ridiculously low price, so I can't really complain, but y'all out there should be warned.
In this case, you do get what you pay for.Read full review...

"Entertaining and Informative on their Real lives"

Wow... I always did like the Beach Boys yet never knew their background. This DVD offers a good account of each one of them, especially Brian. I'm so happy to add it to my collection and will watch again and again... I love their music. Read full review...

My dad loved it! Nice xmas present!

My dad likes documentaries and such and he loved the beach boys, so this was perfect! I didn't watch it myself, but he said that it was very good and would also like "The Beach Boys: An American Family" as well if someone can tell me where to find it. I didn't see it on here unfortunately or I would have bought that for him as well.Read full review...

A good deal for the price. Couln't beat it

The fact that both features can be used as a DVD rather than a VHS. I bought it for the convenience of not having to travel to a store.

Beach Boys/Brian Wilson

Great documentaries of both the Beach Boys and also Brian Wilson. Both of which do not receive enough respect and attention in today's rotted society.
