London Symphony Orchestra "God Only Knows" - A Tribute To Brian Wilson

Details

Description

A tribute to The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, who with lyricist Tony Asher composed "God Only Knows" for the 1966 album, Pet Sounds. This version of "God Only Knows" by The London Symphony Orchestra is from the CD, Symphonic Rock - American Classics. This version was also played at Beach Boys' concerts in the late 1970's and early 1980's as the band was entering the stage. The lights were turned down but you could still see images of the band walking onto the stage; the song was blaring through the speakers and the announcer said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, from Hawthorne, California, America's band, The Beach Boys!" Then the lights suddenly came on and the guys were in place with their instruments. It was a very exciting experience.
