The expanded Oglio Records release revisits Wilson’s historic 2000 Roxy concerts, with Amoeba.com adding an online-only collectible pin for LP and CD buyers during August
Brian Wilson’s Live At The Roxy Theatre returns in a 25th Anniversary Edition through Oglio Records, revisiting the historic April 2000 concerts that marked a key moment in the Beach Boys co-founder’s return to the stage.
The expanded edition presents one of the most important live documents from Wilson’s later career, capturing two sold-out performances at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood. The concerts became part of a crucial period in Wilson’s public and creative resurgence, placing him back in front of audiences with a setlist connected to the Beach Boys, his solo catalog and deep fan favorites.
For collectors, the release also carries an added physical detail. Amoeba Music is including an exclusive Brian Wilson collectible pin with qualifying online purchases of any LP or CD edition of Live At The Roxy Theatre during August, while supplies last.
The offer is available exclusively through Amoeba.com and is not available at Amoeba Music retail stores.
Live At The Roxy Theatre was originally issued in 2000 as Brian Wilson’s first solo live album.
The 25th Anniversary Edition expands the original release into a broader archival document, depending on format, with recordings from both April 2000 Roxy concerts and additional On Tour bonus tracks captured between 2000 and 2009.
The album includes live versions of “California Girls,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” “God Only Knows,” “Good Vibrations,” “Surfer Girl” and “I Get Around,” alongside solo material and rarities including “The First Time,” “This Isn’t Love,” “Back Home” and “Add Some Music To Your Day.”
The expanded edition also includes On Tour bonus recordings of “Let It Shine,” “Drive-In,” “Soul Searchin’,” “Southern California” and “Johnny B. Goode.”
The Brian Wilson collectible pin adds a small physical memorabilia item to the anniversary campaign.
For collectors, this kind of exclusive pin works as a companion piece to the release rather than the main event. The real historical value remains the expanded Live At The Roxy Theatre edition, while the pin gives the Amoeba.com offer an additional collectible layer during August.
The announcement specifies that the pin is included only with qualifying online purchases through Amoeba.com and only while supplies last.
The importance of Live At The Roxy Theatre goes beyond the tracklist.
These April 2000 concerts captured Brian Wilson at a turning point, as he returned to extended solo performances in Los Angeles and began what would become a major second act in his career.
For fans of the Beach Boys, the album preserves Wilson performing some of the songs most closely tied to his legacy. For collectors, the 25th Anniversary Edition adds expanded audio, physical formats and the album’s first appearance on vinyl.
That combination makes the release both a music-history document and a collector-oriented edition.

THE ROXY CONCERTS
The performances took place in April 2000 at The Roxy Theatre on the Sunset Strip.
The shows featured Brian Wilson revisiting songs that helped define American pop and rock music, including “California Girls,” “Surfer Girl,” “I Get Around,” “God Only Knows” and “Good Vibrations.”
The set also included solo material such as “The First Time” and “This Isn’t Love,” placing Wilson’s personal catalog alongside the Beach Boys legacy.
On Live At The Roxy Theatre, Brian Wilson is backed by a 10-piece band featuring musicians including Bob Lizik, Probyn Gregory, Darian Sahanaja, Paul Mertens, Nick Walusko and Jeff Foskett.
The 25th Anniversary Edition was produced by longtime Wilson collaborator Mark Linett and Oglio Records founder Carl Caprioglio.
The edition also includes new liner notes from filmmaker and author David Leaf, who places the Roxy concerts within Wilson’s creative resurgence.
Leaf wrote:
“Those nights on the Sunset Strip turned out to be the beginning of Brian's great second act. Looking back now, it's clear: the Roxy was where Brian's rebirth as a performer truly came alive.”
Brian Wilson remains one of the central architects of modern pop music.
As co-founder of the Beach Boys, Wilson shaped songs, harmonies and studio arrangements that influenced generations of musicians and producers. His work on songs such as “God Only Knows,” “Good Vibrations” and “Surfin’ U.S.A.” helped define the emotional and sonic language of American popular music.
In that context, Live At The Roxy Theatre stands as a later-career live document connected not only to nostalgia, but to survival, performance and artistic continuity.
Brian Wilson passed away on June 11, 2025, at the age of 82, leaving behind a body of work that continues to influence artists and listeners around the world.
The 25th Anniversary Edition of Live At The Roxy Theatre arrives as a renewed look at a stage moment that helped reframe Wilson’s later career. The album captures him not as a distant studio legend, but as a performer reconnecting with songs, musicians and audiences in real time.
For Rockum’s archive, this release fits as a collector-focused music history piece: physical formats, vinyl debut, expanded audio, legacy context and a limited-time memorabilia item tied to one of the most influential songwriters in rock and pop history.

The result is not just another reissue, but a physical and historical document of a defining chapter in Wilson’s second act.
