Timeline

Some songs from this concert appear on:

God Only Knows was always a real favorite of mine. The words, what it says — it’s kind of emotional. And if I’m singing along with it, it can suddenly just grab me and hit me. And I did sing it with Brian once — we were doing a charity thing, and Brian came on, and he played it with us. We rehearsed it up and while we were rehearsing I choked up — “if you should ever leave me, the world could show nothing to me, what could living do to me” — the words of that, put with that melody and the harmonies, it was just the ultimate record for me. Very inspiring.
