Los Angeles, CA — On November 7, 2025, Oglio Records will release the 25th Anniversary Edition of Brian Wilson: Live at the Roxy Theatre—the first official Brian Wilson release since his passing on June 11, 2025. Captured over two sold-out nights in April 2000 at West Hollywood’s legendary Roxy Theatre, the historic set documents Wilson’s luminous late-career return to the stage, now expanded and available on vinyl for the first time as a 3LP box set, alongside a 2CD set and digital edition.

Originally issued in 2000 as Wilson’s first-ever live solo album, Live at the Roxy Theatre places the genius co-founder of the Beach Boys in an intimate room with a powerhouse 10-piece band (including members of the Wondermints), moving effortlessly from immortal classics (“California Girls,” “Surfer Girl,” “I Get Around,” “Good Vibrations”) to latter-day originals (“The First Time,” “This Isn’t Love”).

The 25th Anniversary Edition deepens that moment with newly unearthed performances and on-tour recordings (2000–2009) produced by longtime Wilson engineer Mark Linett (who also recorded/mixed the original album) and Oglio founder Carl Caprioglio. New liner notes by David Leaf contextualize the Roxy as the spark of Wilson’s remarkable second act—one that led to Pet Sounds Live, SMiLE, That Lucky Old Sun, and more.

“With Brian’s passing this year, this edition isn’t just a reissue—it’s a heartfelt tribute to his artistry, his kindness, and the timeless music he shared with us.” — Carl Caprioglio, Oglio Records

“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.” — David Leaf

Praise for Live at the Roxy Theatre
“A refreshing lack of hubris and real sense of fun… from ‘Good Vibrations’ and ‘God Only Knows’ to latter-day gems like ‘Lay Down Burden.’” — Rolling Stone

“Touches on all phases of Wilson’s career… a good introduction and a satisfying summation.” — AllMusic

“If you really want to indulge in the best of Brian Wilson live, this is the place to start.” — Endless Summer Quarterly
