(Webster) A new release from Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson hit stories today (July 29th). The new live release 'Brian Wilson and Friends' is now available in a CD/DVD set and Blu-Ray edition. We were sent the following details:

Filmed live at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas on December 12, 2014, the 19-track CD and 26-track DVD/Blu-ray editions feature many of the top hits and fan favorites spanning Wilson's 54-year career with The Beach Boys and as a solo artist. It can be ordered online here.

Brian Wilson & Friends originally aired on PBS nationwide throughout 2015. Initially offered exclusively in DVD and Blu-ray configurations as a premium gift incentive for viewers contributing donations during the network's annual pledge drive, the new Brian Wilson & Friends release marks the first time that a companion CD is being offered, along with bonus material not included during the public television airings including bonus tracks, behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews with guest artists.

The concert recording features Wilson - co-founder of the iconic band The Beach Boys - performing alongside his legendary touring band with longtime bandmate Al Jardine, former Beach Boys sidemen Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar, with special guest appearances from Grammy award-winners Nate Ruess of Fun., country artist Kacey Musgraves, and acclaimed trumpet player/composer Mark Isham; Sebu Simonian of the multi-platinum, chart-topping indie pop-duo Capital Cities; and Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward of indie duo She & Him.

Brian Wilson & Friends contains many of the classic songs he is known for with "California Girls," "Help Me Rhonda," "Good Vibrations," and many more making the set list. The release of Brian Wilson and Friends coincides with his Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary World Tour, a celebration and final performance of the acclaimed album in its entirety. In addition, De Capo Press recently announced they will publish his autobiography "I Am Brian Wilson: A Memoir" on October 11. Currently on the road with his band performing across the U.S.
