I hope we hear more from Mr. Marks. He was out of the spotlight far too long.

The Beach Boys: Exclusive 50th Anniversary World Tour Tribute Film

We invite you to become part of this once-in-a-lifetime moment in music history, as we create a film which documents The Beach Boys on their 50th anniversary World Concert Tour and their enduring impact on pop culture around the globe. With over 600 hours of footage from 75 legendary shows on four continents at some of the world’s most prestigious venues; as well as rare archive footage; and behind-the-scenes moments with other legendary musicians, critics, record executives, fans, crew, and The Beach Boys themselves. You can come along for the journey as this historic film unfolds.

This film is a solidification of The Beach Boys legacy; a tribute to creative endurance and artistic achievement that crosses all cultural and geographical boundaries. Now you can have a unique and exclusive view as the filmmakers work over the next 12 months to assemble a heartfelt, intimate, and unique perspective of the band that has altered the course of American popular music.

The Beach Boys have reached this 50th year milestone as few bands have ever done, or even imagined. What they leave behind, as captured in this footage and eventually in this film, is a body of work that is indelibly etched in music history and has permeated our popular culture on a global level. This film is not a retelling of “The Beach Boys” story, but a unique portrait of their achievement and this journey and celebration around the world.

Pre-order The Beach Boys: Exclusive 50th Anniversary World Tour Tribute Film, or some of the other unique and one-of-a-kind Beach Boys tour items that will become available at various times during this campaign, and receive bonus footage, behind the scenes sneak peeks of the tour, and the making of the film. Be part of the interactive process of sharing your thoughts with the filmmakers and help them pick specific moments to be used in the film. For example, we may ask you to help us decide which song or interview or trivia should be used, and thus allow the creative process to be open and a collaboration with you. All of this will be done here on our PledgeMusic page, so please visit frequently for updates.

So come join the celebration and be a part of history with us.

Disclaimer This is a collaborative project; the final product will be ready to ship December 2013. Don’t forget to download your digital poster and photos after purchase by clicking on the ‘Updates’ tab to the left."

I'm really dissapointed, not only The reformed Beach Boys never toured South America, but the crappy Mike Love led version of the band didn't come wither!

The Mike&Bruce band isn't crappy. In fact they have a very fine group

They are when compared to the Wilson/Love/Johnston/Marks/Jardine version.
They're a cover band that licensed the name of the original group, just like Guns N Roses is now.

If you blinked, you could've missed the BB's reunion. Should not have ended the way it did.

No, there's nothing out there yet. Since it'll be released later this year we just have to wait and enjoy the live album.


BTW Brian and Al are back together in the studio... No one seems to know what kind of project it is but Brian used Don Was and Jeff Beck a.o. for the backing tracks
