“The Beach Boys” Coming to Disney+

- Documentary premieres May 24

“Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a documentary about us?,” the Beach Boys asked rhetorically.

“Darlin’, there is!”

Unimaginatively titled “The Beach Boys,” the latest film about the Beach Boys premieres May 24 on Disney+, the streaming service said.

Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny direct what is billed as “a celebration of the legendary band;” a streaming-only soundtrack will be released alongside the film.

Previously unseen footage; archival interviews with Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar; new interviews with Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, David Marks and Bruce Johnston; and commentary from such fans as Lindsey Buckingham, Don Was and others are the promised building blocks.

A companion book, “The Beach Boys by the Beach Boys,” will be published April 2.

3/27/24

Willie Nelson Brings Outlaw Music Festival to Forest Hills Stadium

Outlaw Music Festival – Forest Hills Stadium – September 17, 2023

You don’t so much attend a Willie Nelson concert these days as you conform to its warmly understated, sometimes leisurely, sometimes-invigorating pace. Then again, he’s always seemed to have that pause-a-sec-and-listen effect: Whether 30 or 90, delivering sad-eyed, tear-in-beer weepers, tender folk, inspiring hymns or outlaw country rousers, he’s got you. Hearing him play, surrounded by his adoring band, still has that time-stopping quality, and Forest Hills Stadium was in thrall to one of American music’s true and unimpeachable legends on a rainy but warm Sunday evening.

The Outlaw Music Festival, a going concern for a while now, is Willie’s eclectic seasonal caravan, loading up a sprawling six-hour bill with a range of artists that don’t sound quite like Nelson but are at the same time just right for a show like this, underscoring his own lineage and place in the history of many potent strains of Americana. As ever, he and his impressive band crowned the show with an hour-long set of their own, setting a brisk but not workmanlike pace through his classics (“Whiskey River,” “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” “On the Road Again,” “I Gotta Get Drunk,” “Always On My Mind,” “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”) and those of friends and favorites, including Billie Joe Shaver’s “I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train,” “Stay a Little Longer” from the Bob Willis catalog, “Move It On Over” from Hank Williams, and the immortal “Georgia on My Mind.” Willie’s sung these songs thousands of times, but each one still felt like a warm embrace, even the wistful ones, and even the ones for which he wouldn’t need to do more than go through the motions but is just too classy for that.

About the bill: There were plenty of willing conspirators and indeed, half the fun of a tour like this is the cross-pollination and spirit of collaboration that happens throughout. No less than Norah Jones — a surprise guest, unannounced — low-key sat in on keyboards for most of the Willie set. (It wasn’t even clear it was her until she took a few backing vocals and then a full verse of “I Gotta Get Drunk.”) Harmonica ace Mickey Raphael — a stalwart of Nelson’s band — joined for sections of earlier sets from Los Lobos, the String Cheese Incident and Bob Weir & Wolf Bros using a range of harmonica modes, from sawing roadhouse blues to sweet-’n’-tender folk. And as ever, Willie made his customary invite to many of the musicians, including a game and all-smiles Weir, to join in for the rootsy, hymnal “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” and several more selections, hootenanny-ing up the stage to close the night.

Weir’s Wolf Bros — one of the most interesting post–Grateful Dead bands and as oddly compelling a capture of Weir’s Weir-ness as any other group he’s been part of — got about 90 minutes to roam as the night’s coheadliner and more than made the most of it. The core trio of Weir, Don Was and Jay Lane has mushroomed on the road into a full ensemble, including Weir’s longtime swingman Jeff Chimenti on keys and ace pedal steel from Barry Sless, plus a sturdy horns-and-strings section called the Wolfpack. That bigness was well used here: “Jack Straw,” “Estimated Prophet” (neatly segued into its forever companion, “Eyes of the World,” which itself neatly segued into Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”), the Sunday-special “Samson & Delilah” and a rollicking “Turn On Your Lovelight” were Grateful Dead staples all getting jammy workouts.

Earlier came a potent set from jam-bluegrass stalwarts the String Cheese Incident, somehow now approaching their own 30th anniversary. And earlier still came the mighty Los Lobos — themselves, whoa, 50 years along! — who played a ripsnorting 45-minute frame full of cumbia and full-boogie rockers, including the beloved “Georgia Slop.” 30 years? 50 years? So much beautiful longevity here, but the bar appears to be 90 years, gang. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

Four-part “Willie Nelson & Family” Documentary to Premiere Dec. 21 on Paramount+

- “He knows something nobody else knows,” Bobby Bare says in trailer

Love and music were the two gifts Mama and Daddy Nelson gave to their grandchildren, Bobbie and Willie Nelson.

And those gifts, “saved our lives,” Nelson says in the trailer for “Willie Nelson & Family.”

Directed by Thom Zimny and Oren Moverman, the four-part documentary tracks Nelson’s rise from Nashville, his tax problems that led to the IRS seizing nearly all he’d amassed and his re-establishment and current status as beloved elder statesman.

“He knows something nobody else knows,” Bobby Bare says. “It’s that magic that he carries around in his pocket.”

Constructed with archival photos and videos and featuring commentary from Dolly Parton, Kenny Chesney, Don Was, Bill Anderson, Shelby Lynne, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Sheryl Crow, Rosanne Cash, Ray Charles and others, the series premieres Dec. 21 on Paramount+.

In the trailer, Nelson says it best:

“Good music never goes out of fashion,” he says. “Like the sun, it rises every morning. Like the moon, it lights up the night. Like the seasons, it keeps changing.”

After a three-year hiatus, Sammy Hagar and Bob Weir's Acoustic-4-A-Cure concert will return to The Fillmore in San Francisco on May 13th.

Hagar and Weir will be joined by some special guests including Michael Anthony and Vic Johnson. Taj Mahal, Don Was, and Nancy Wilson are also set to take the stage with Hagar and Weir along with more to be announced soon.

"I'm thrilled that we're back for an eighth year and back home at The Fillmore in San Francisco where it all began," Hagar said in a statement. "Most of all so grateful to my friends and partners who lend their unconditional support year after year. We're able to produce an arena level show at an intimate venue and keep the ticket prices affordable because these incredible artists donate their time and deliver unbelievable performances so all of the profits can go directly to an incredible cause. That's my kind of philanthropy!"

This year's benefit show proceeds will go toward the Pediatric Cancer Program at the University of California San Francisco's Benioff Children's Hospital. General sale for Acoustic-4-A-Cure will begin Friday (April 14) at 10 a.m. PST via Live Nation.

Had a dream where mini golf was added to the Olympics. And one of the Olympic mini golf athletes lost the gold because she hit the windmill.

And she tweets with a picture of the windmill and the caption “bout to go through my Don Quixote phase” and honestly I think that’s the funniest thing my brain has ever come up with.

#yes I know in the actual book the windmill isn’t that big a thing #but whatever #don quixote
