The Beach Boys: An American Band (1985)

A wonderful documentary on The Beach Boys with concert videos, home movies, early music videos, and a Hollywood Movie with them performing with brief walk ons by Bob Hope and Jack Benny (funny) . Also includes interviews with Brian and Carl sharing more about how it all got started, including clips of an interview with Brian in bed talking about his nervous breakdown, his deafness in one ear, his Father, and so much more. A lot of very early concert footage in black and white with Brian still performing . The harmonies are still as magical as ever and includes Pet Sounds footage. A wonderful homage to the amazingly talented Beach Boys.
