Brian Wilson

Describe In Three Words: God Only Knows.

Remarkable Moment: What is there not to be amazed at? One of the greatest composers of the last century. He's lost his two bothers and his own health isn't great, but still he's on this planet, at will to perform those songs. He starts with 'Do It Again' and his mates from the Wondermints supply the necessary harmonies and sweet dynamics. He plays the extended, 'Smile' version of 'Heroes And Villians' and fills our souls with 'Wouldn't It Be Nice'. For no apparent reason, he asks us to sing 'Row, Row, Row, Your Boat' and he happily he cues up his favourite song, which also happens to be a Paul McCartney rave, 'God Only Knows'. Divine.

Crowd Reaction: They had fun, fun, fun.
