00:00 Play hard and strong all the way.
00:02 Hold it, please.
00:03 Try it one more time from the top.
00:05 One, two, one, two.
00:08 Ladies and gentlemen, the Beach Boys!
00:12 The Beach Boys just represented some sort of fantasy.
00:15 They were participating in the creation of a California dream.
00:19 Man, they made me want to go to where they had cars and girls in bikinis.
00:28 And son, their music takes you someplace.
00:33 There's definitely been ups and downs.
00:36 We've probably been counted out half a dozen times.
00:39 We used to sing three-part harmony in the backseat of the car.
00:43 And that's the birth of the brothers singing together.
00:45 Three brothers, Brian, Dennis, and Carl.
00:50 A cousin, Mike Love, and our good friend, Al Jardine.
00:53 That's family to me.
00:55 We've known each other for a really long time, and there really is a great deal of fellowship in the group.
00:59 And we've been through an awful lot.
01:01 We ended up as kind of like a rivalry.
01:05 The Beach Boys, bring 'em on!
01:06 Here are the Beach Boys!
01:08 If one group didn't have the other, would their music actually be what it became?
01:15 Brian was really learning to be a producer.
01:18 That's when we started realizing there's some genius here.
01:21 But his dad began to be an obstacle.
01:23 Brian, I'm a genius too. Let's go, huh?
01:26 My Uncle Murray sold to the publishing.
01:29 And Brian went, "You sold my songs?"
01:32 Brian put together textures that no one had ever put into popular songs before.
01:39 He did it first.
01:41 If you should ever leave me
01:45 The life that's to go on really be
01:51 Here we go, "Wouldn't It Be Nice." Take one.
01:54 Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
01:57 They really show what it's like when everybody understands the part they have to play.
02:02 Wouldn't it be nice to live together
02:04 There's something about the way those individuals blended together.
02:08 They're all part of it.
02:10 You know it's gonna make it that much better
02:14 If we can say goodnight
02:16 The fact that it was a family, that's where the success came from.
02:20 Wouldn't it be nice
02:24 To live out our lives
02:27 (music fades)
