Brian Wilson & Friends: A Soundstage Special Event | July 29th, 2016

[samdaman94]

Looks like this brilliant little concert is finally getting an official release, after being sold as a signed edition exclusively as a pledge piece last year.
It was released on DVD/CD here in the UK a few months back, which I bought and will replace if this is region free. Fingers crossed.

‘BRIAN WILSON AND FRIENDS’ was recorded live in Las Vegas for Chicago television's prestigious ‘Soundstage’ program, in December 2014. This “Soundstage” special aired on PBS in April 2015 and was offered as a pledge piece for PBS in DVD and Blu-ray configurations. This is the FIRST time an audio CD has been offered and bonus tracks have been added not included in the original PBS airing. The program features Brian Wilson's phenomenal touring band (including long-time Beach Boys sidemen Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar) along with special guests Mark Isham, Kacey Musgraves, Nate Ruess (front man of Fun) and She & Him. The tremendous set list on the DVD and CD includes the Beach Boys classics’ ‘Good Vibrations,’ ‘Don't Worry Baby,’ ‘Wild Honey,’ ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ and many more.

Mr. Wilson is such a humble genius. I'll be all over this!

Just had my copy shipped from WOWHD. Taking a shot in the dark with this one, hoping it's region free! Never seen a region locked music Blu-ray so should be okay.

Region free.
PQ is 1080i and nothing too special, standard concert quality.
Sound is great.

As far as I can tell, it's the exact same disc that was sold as the pledge reward thingy last year.

Did yours come as a Blu-ray only or as a Blu-ray and DVD as this site shows?
The link in the first post is for the CD. Amazon show this as one disc. I have a version with the UPC 4050538218640 and it is a lone BD.

ok, I'll submit a new version to this site then

Submitted, but Mod will have to change the Amazon ASIN on the Digipack/Digibook. Amazon ASIN B01HE7M8YM is for the version that just was released July 29, not the one that you got from a PBS fundraiser.
