Brian Wilson

[BEACH MAN] Well, Smile it ain't—but it has at least one song worthy of Pet Sounds. Brian Wilson's new album, That Lucky Old Sun, is his first album-length conceptual work since he began Smile in 1966, never mind since finally completing that legendary opus in 2005. And despite a hand from Smile collaborator Van Dyke Parks, whose prose poems link this suite's songs, one couldn't expect Sun to touch Smile's acid-dappled majesty. But "Midnight's Another Day" is exactly the song you'd hope the creator of Pet Sounds could produce today—except for its confirmation of Wilson's ongoing psychiatric struggle. Fortunately, he still conjures joy, too, as on the nostalgic "Forever My Surfer Girl." And his brilliant young band—including keyboardist Scott Bennett, who co-wrote most of the new album—ensures that Wilson's complex emotional palette is delivered in full, along with sublime versions of Beach Boys songs both famous and obscure. JEFF ROSENBERG. Roseland 8 pm. $39-$49.50 (TicketsWest). 21+.

Brian Wilson

Some definitions of "classical music": well-proportioned, harmonious, balanced, symmetrical, elegant. Serious music following long-established principles. I think the composer of "God Only Knows," "Good Vibrations" and all the other immortal masterpieces qualifies. BRETT CAMPBELL. Roseland, 8 NW 6th Ave., 224-2038. 8 pm Sunday, Sept. 7. $35-$49.50.
