The story of Brian Wilson and his magnum opus Smile is one of the more compelling tales of how ego, insecurity and drugs can swiftly undermine the creative process, especially when it’s caught in the mire of a commercial tidal wave. For years, Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fans agonized and lamented over the unfinished nature of Smile, originally slated for a January 1967 release. Its resurrection in 2003 is testament to the shelf life of a missing masterpiece shrouded in mysteryfor over 37 years. To keep the legacy alive, Rhino has, in their usual manner, done a splendid job at assembling these two comprehensive DVDs to match the artistry and mystique of Smile. Disc One features the extensive and documentary “Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson And The Story of SMILE.” Disc Two features a resounding live performance of Smile filmedin Los Angeles. Both discs are crammed full with bonus features almost as captivating as themain features. There are a few clips from the stellar first live performance of Smile at the Royal Festival Hall in London in February 2004.
