This was a fantastic one-off performance by an artist who decided to try and produce an album to match the 'White Album' by the Beatles. In my mind, Brian Wilson succeeded, and Paul McCartney has been quoted as saying that 'God Only Knows' is his favourite song.
The venue was fantastic, and the stage setting for the 'Evita' which happens Monday - Saturday was even used when the Sax player got up on 'the balcony' to play a solo.
The one-off gig also attracted a number of minor celebs (I think I saw Alan Yentob, Paul Gambachini and Nina Miskow) and some major stars. I was sat 6 seats away from Scarlett Johansson (unfortunately my wife was sat 5 seats away from her), so celeb spotting was the order of the day.

Sounds ace! What was his voice like? When I was watching the footage of him at Glastonbury a couple of years ago he seemed to be struggling to sing and hit the notes and we were worried that his voice was just gone from years of disuse.

Brian Wilson was much better than I hoped for. He has lost some of his range, and he was helped by the band in certain places. But of course, he didn't do all of the vocals on the album anyway.
<br/>He was in much better shape than I expected, and while his movements are impaired, his enthusiasm really shone through.
