| | Brian Wilson Presents Smile DVD Beach Boys / Brian Wilson CDS
This essential two-DVD package features nearly four hours of material, including the Showtime documentary, Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson And the Story of Smile, as well as an exclusive performance of Smile in its entirety. The collection also includes nearly two hours of bonus footage including never-before-seen interviews, performances, and recording session footage. Brian Wilson's famously unfinished masterpiece is released here 37 years after its name first appeared on a label release schedule. The intended follow-up to the Beach Boys' album PET SOUNDS, SMILE has been the subject of much speculation and salivation from fans over the years, and in 2004 Wilson revived hopes with a concert performance at London's Royal Festival Hall. Beach Boys devotees flocked to the event, fearing it would be their only opportunity to hear the completed work, but the experience so encouraged the performer that he returned to the studio to complete the definitive recording of the album. This momentous event is a landmark in rock history, a true boon to fans and a testament to the enduring genius of Brian Wilson. Brian Wilson Presents Smile Reviews: "[T]he concert presented on the second disc is a triumph of the human spirit as much as a spectacular and sublime musical experience..."
-- Carol Clerk, Uncut 4 stars out of 5 -- "The sound is great, the band are superb, with Wilson looking uncharacteristically relaxed....His vocal performance is excellent throughout."

| | Tesla Into The Now CD (2004)
Brian Wilson Presents Smile DVD
$8.49
Unfairly labeled a hair-metal band, Tesla was always closer to the spirit of vintage 1970s hard rock. When the group released 1994's BUST A NUT, grunge rock was in full swing, and the Sacramento quintet subsequently took their curtain call, keeping busy with low-profile side projects. Testing the waters in 2000, Tesla launched a successful reunion tour, proving the band's enduring appeal. INTO THE NOW stands as their first full-length studio effort in 10 years.
The core of Tesla's sound has been updated with a fresh and contemporary flavor, but it's still very much their own. Jeff Keith's voice retains its heartfelt grit and grease, while guitarists Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeotch have noticeably absorbed some nu-metal influences in the band's downtime. Downtuned, post-grunge riffs drive tracks such as "Miles Away," "Mighty Mouse," and the aptly named title track. Still, Tesla are truly in their element when they ...

Brian Wilson Presents Smile movie DVD
$16.19  
Between 1967 and 2004, the SMILE sessions were pretty much the Dead Sea Scrolls of pop music. Well documented as head Beach Boy Brian Wilson's answer to the Beatles' masterpiece SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (which was itself largely an answer to the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS), the tracks laid down in '67 for the projected SMILE album were the furthest afield anyone nominally operating under the pop/rock umbrella had ever ventured. Notoriously, intraband conflict (Mike Love, in particular, found the Wilson/Van Dyke Parks-penned conceptual work too far out) kept the record from being released. With several oceans' worth of water under the bridge, Wilson finally decided to finish the aborted project three-and-a-half decades later, adhering closely to the original blueprints. The results are as timelessly breathtaking as the original version must have been to the lucky few who first heard the initial tapes.
With sterling support from his backing band the Wondermints, Wilson meticulously pieced together the conceptual, orchestral puzzle of SMILE into a rewarding, cohesive whole. Even decades down the line, it still sounds miles away from anything else in the world of popular music. A series of extended vignettes ...

$24.79
While MUSICALLY RICH...AND FAMOUS documents the second half of British blues godfather Alexis Korner's career, KORNERSTONED adopts a more comprehensive approach, following the pioneering singer/guitarist from the very beginning of his musical life, all the way through every subsequent phase of his development. So we get not only his mid-1960s work with burgeoning blues-rock giants like Paul Rodgers and Steve Marriott, but also his `50s skiffle recordings (basically ...
