This has been available on Amazon Prime for a few weeks now--but I'm not sure why. It's a mish-mash of shots of the band arriving in and riding around London, some concert footage, and Al and Dennis checking out a clothing store. Aside from the poorly edited silent concert footage, all the other footage appears to be of amateur, silent home-movie quality.
Yes, "silent".
None of the audio matches what's on screen. An interview with the band (recorded before they left for the tour) plays under several of the clips. Most of the footage is re-used repeatedly. Only "Good Vibrations" seems to be recorded live, but the audio does not go with what's on-screen at the time. And for some reason, "Barbie" and "What is a Young Girl Made Of" play under concert footage (sometimes twice). Neither song is by "The Beach Boys" per se (and both are from the original recordings and are not "live"), yet all music in this video is credited to "The Beach Boys".
Generic, '60s-sounding instrumentals play under much of this video, including obvious rip-offs of "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Secret Agent Man". These even play under some concert footage.
If the audio had matched the video, this wouldn't have been so aggravating, and might actually have appealed to more than just hard-core Beach Boys fans. As it is, it's frustrating, difficult to follow, and not (as the tag line on Prime promised), "Ideal for all Beach Boys fans and rock music lovers".
