Live Versions
When performed in concert, "Love And Mercy" is played with a piano introduction as well as being performed with a much sparser arrangement compared to the original version. Upon its release The Beach Boys played the song at several of their shows in 1987. The song has also become the regular concert closer at Brian Wilson's concerts. Brian Wilson performed the song live as the encore on his 2000 live solo album Live at the Roxy Theatre and as the encore of his performance of SMiLE at Carnegie Hall. Brian also, along with the Boys Choir of Harlem, concluded with the song at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on March 29, 2001. The concert, billed as "An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson", was filmed and later released on DVD. On January 15, 2005 Wilson performed the song as part of Tsunami Aid: A Concert of Hope which aired on NBC. On September 10, 2005 Brian and his band appeared in Los Angeles on the ReAct Now: Music & Relief concert, which was a relief concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The performance included both "Love And Mercy" and his new song "Walking Down The Path of Life".
