Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the world premiere of Brian Wilson Presents Smile at London's Royal Festival Hall. Were you there? If so... why ("well, because..." isn't an acceptable response)? How were you feeling before the show, during and after? Did it live up to your expectations? Now, almost twenty years on, how do you feel about it all? These are not idle questions: next year David Leaf & Omnibus Books are publishing a 20th anniversary BWPS history/appreciation/celebration and your thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated. Er, in about 150 words. A chance to be a part of the album's history, and to see your name, and words (all 150ish of them) in print. Of course, it won't be possible to include every submission so go, write, excel. Submissions by email only to bwps20th@yahoo.com - you know you want to. Oh, and the deadline for this is October 1st, or 23 days from now One last note: The essays that don’t make into the book will be posted online at either the publisher or David Leaf’s website.

I only wish I were there. I crossed the Atlantic specifically to see an early show, but my first was Glasgow at the Clyde Auditorium a couple of weeks after the debut. I'll never tire of talking and writing of it. It was wonderful, and worth every penny associated with the trip. Absolutely magical.

I wonder will there be a BWPS (Brian Wilson Pet Sounds, lol) 20th anniversary box set?

Thanks for posting this here, Andrew. I wasn't at the premiere, or at any of the BWPS shows (just the Kenwood House gig in 2008). I'm sure I would be far more enthusiastic about what I see and hear in the video if I had been there!
