00:00Play hard and strong, all the way.
00:02Hold it, please.
00:04Try it one more time from the top.
00:06One, two. One, two.
00:10Ladies and gentlemen, the Beach Boys!
00:13The Beach Boys just represented some sort of fantasy.
00:16They were participating in the creation of a California dream.
00:22Man, they made me want to go to where they had cars and girls in bikinis.
00:29And, son, their music takes you someplace.
00:34There's definitely been ups and downs.
00:36We've probably been counted out half a dozen times.
00:40We used to sing three-part harmony in the backseat of the car.
00:43And that's the birth of the brothers singing together.
00:48Three brothers.
00:49Brian, Dennis, and Carl.
00:51A cousin, Mike Love, and our good friend, Al Jardine.
00:54That's family to me.
00:55We've known each other for a really long time.
00:57There really is a great deal of fellowship in the group.
00:59And we've been through an awful lot.
01:03We ended up, it's kind of like a rivalry.
01:06Here are the Beach Boys!
01:10If one group didn't have the other, would their music actually be what it became?
01:16Brian was really learning to be a producer.
01:18That's when we started realizing there's some genius here.
01:21But his dad began to be an obstacle.
01:23Brian, I'm a genius too. Let's go, huh?
01:26My Uncle Murray sold the publishing.
01:29And Brian went, you sold my songs?
01:34Brian put together textures that no one had ever put into popular songs before.
01:39He did it first.
01:51Here we go, Wouldn't It Be Nice, take one.
01:57They really show what it's like when everybody understands the part they have to play.
02:04There's something about the way those individuals blended together.
02:08They're all part of it.
02:16The fact that it was a family, that's where the success came from.
