Brian Wilson / Switzerland 10.31.2016 Multi-Cam Broadcast Edition

The PET SOUNDS 50th Anniversary Tour, which also included their final performance in Japan, is now celebrated with a symbolic pro-shot video. This video captures their performance at the Basel concert on October 31, 2016, at the Swiss festival “BALOISE SESSION 2016.” The “PET SOUNDS 50th Anniversary Tour” was a major project that spanned over three years, traveling all over the world. 2016 was particularly memorable because it marked Brian Wilson’s final performance in Japan. This is a good opportunity to first get an overview of the world tour as a whole and then explore the position of this video within it. March 26 – April 7, 2016: Oceania (7 shows)

The Basel performance featured in this release is from the early stages of the tour. It was the third show of “Europe #3”, approximately six months after their Japan tour. This show, being part of a famous festival, was professionally filmed and broadcast on the Swiss public broadcaster “RTS Deux”. This release is a DVD of the best master recording. It’s a masterpiece that was a huge hit as “PET SOUNDS in Visual Form.” Of course, the quality is impeccable. Recording, camerawork, audio mix…everything is flawless. It can only be described as “completely official quality.” The tour recreating this great album brings back memories of their visit to Japan. The visual beauty depicts the show that captivated the world with its complete recreation of ‘PET SOUNDS’. In fact, it’s not a complete recording of the day, as five songs, “Dance, Dance, Dance,” “I Get Around,” “Salt Lake City,” “Sail Away,” and “Surfin’ U.S.A.,” are missing, but the essential ‘PET SOUNDS’ recreation can be enjoyed in its entirety. The setlist was also slightly different from the Japanese performance, so let’s compare and organize it here. Opening (6 songs) – Netherlands: Sail On, Sailor / California Saga: California (★) – Others: California Girls / Surfer Girl / Do It Again (★) / Wild Honey Pet Sounds (all songs) – Wouldn’t It Be Nice / You Still Believe in Me / That’s Not Me / Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder) / I’m Waiting for the Day / Let’s Go Away for Awhile / Sloop John B / God Only Knows / I Know There’s an Answer / Here Today / I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times / Pet Sounds / Caroline, No Ending (5 songs) – Good Vibrations / Help Me, Rhonda / Barbara Ann / Fun, Fun, Fun – Solo: Love And Mercy *Note: Songs marked with “★” were not performed at the last Japanese concert. Ten years have passed since that wonderful Japanese concert. Brian Wilson passed away before the 60th anniversary of “PET SOUNDS” could be realized. This work serves as an “official substitute for the PET SOUNDS tribute tour” and at the same time is a video masterpiece that vividly revives memories that can never be recovered. It is a disc that anyone can enjoy, delivering a moving stage performance with official-level quality. This is the symbolic video of the “PET SOUNDS” 50th anniversary tour. It is a multi-camera pro-shot of the “Basel performance on October 31, 2016”. The quality of the DVD, which was created from the best master, is “official-level,” and you can enjoy the complete tribute stage of “PET SOUNDS”. It is a memorial video masterpiece that also brings back memories of the final performance in Japan. Live at Event Halle, Basel, Switzerland 31st October 2016 PRO-SHOT (84:26) 01.
