Background

Wilson's first (and previous) world tour of Pet Sounds was in 2000, backed by a different orchestra in each venue, and he also performed the entire album on three occasions without an orchestra on his 2002 tour. [3] The concerts received favorable reviews, however, critics focused on Wilson's "trancelike" demeanor and odd interview responses. [4] Recordings from Wilson's 2002 concert tour were released as Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds Live . [5] Rolling Stone's Dorian Lynskey says that the shows helped establish the now-ubiquitous practice of artists playing "classic albums" in their entirety. [6] In late 2006, Jardine joined Wilson and his band for a short tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of Pet Sounds. [7]

In 2013, Wilson and Jardine performed the album at two shows, unannounced, also with original Beach Boys guitarist David Marks. [8] In 2016, to celebrate the album's 50th anniversary, Wilson and Jardine performed the album on tour in Australia, Japan, Europe, Canada and the United States. The tour was planned as his final performances of the album, [9] but occasional shows were performed through 2020.[ citation needed ] A concert reviewer noted that Wilson received a standing ovation every time he performed a track from the album. [10]
