Watch Brian Wilson Play ‘California Girls’ and ‘Good Vibrations’ at His Last Concert

Brian Wilson played the last show of his career July 26, 2022, at the Pink Knob Music Theatre in Clarkson, Michigan.

It was a peak moment that was impossible to top, but Wilson and the Wondermints continued to tour heavily practically every single year throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, pausing only for the brief Beach Boys reunion in 2012, and Covid in 2020. Like every show on the tour, it was heavy on Beach Boys classics like “God Only Knows,” “Good Vibrations” and “Sloop John B.” But there were also deeper cuts, including “Long Promised Road,” “Sail On, Sailor,” and “Wild Honey.” It’s sad on some level, since Wilson is clearly struggling, and he barely participates in “Good Vibrations.” But take a look at at the joyous crowd perched near the stage, singing along to every word of those all-time classic songs and having a blast.
