Behind the Scenes at the Beach Boys’ Retrospective

On September 18th, the Beach Boys gathered at the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles for the launch of "Good Vibrations: 50 Years of the Beach Boys," an exhibit that celebrates their landmark anniversary this year. Before the quintet took to the museum stage for a Q&A and six-song acoustic performance, Rolling Stone took a private tour of the retrospective display with Brian Wilson. "It's just a whole, beautiful presentation," he raved.
