Yeah, I forgot to say that he joins during the end of the Get Back sessions
EDIT: ATL Billy Preston voices the 'Groovy Flying Glove' that flies around high-fiving people and helping defeat the Meanies.

"Brian used to be very fragile. You know what happened in 1964, right? It was a constant worry. We were dependent on him to lead us as a group, but he was very easily hurt and you can't really work like that. When he started getting help with that stuff, we were all so happy. A confident, strong Brian was just what we wanted. What Dennis and I found out was, we were finally getting a big brother. I don't think we were ready for that."
Carl Wilson, The South Bank Show, ITV 1989
"What happened during LA Blue? I'd fallen out with Mike and Al. They had problems with Brian ever since they got into meditation and he kept saying therapy was better. Carl wanted me to stop taking drugs and got me a psychiatrist. Brian fell out with Carl when he said his guy wasn't a proper psychiatrist and wanted me to speak to his psychiatrist and take perfectly legal drugs. I didn't want to do that so I fell out with Brian. The Beach Boys didn't split, it's just that Bruce was the only member of the group by the end. He finished the album and then quit. For some reason, we thought we could play live while all hating each other. That's what happened."
Dennis Wilson, Great Rock & Roll Bustups, VH1 1995

The uneasy peace which had held The Beach Boys together throughout the 1970s finally collapsed at the end of the decade; this led to an event that, years earlier, had been considered impossible – a Beach Boys album featuring minimal involvement from Brian Wilson.
Upon its release, L.A. Blue proved a modest critical success and an outright commercial hit; however, the band could not fully capitalize on their success. When the group's various factions finally agreed to tour – minus the eldest Wilson – the album was already sliding down the charts.
The belated shows were a lacklustre affair which failed to revive interest in L.A. Blue; an altercation that brought the New York show – and, indeed, the whole tour – to a premature close was initially viewed as the humiliating finale to a great legacy.
In fact, it would prove to be – as Carl Wilson phrased it – "the storm before the calm".

Still would be a disappointment compared to 70s Genesis I fear, at least if Steve Hackett isn't there.
Well, I hope LA Blue (yeah, I know the title's a bit naff) has the edge on LA Light Album having more of Dennis's more assured approach to AOR. I just thought if I went a bit too-good-to-be-true on the case scenario with Brian, what would a clean and mentally healthy Brian Wilson be like? I think it's too much for the rest of the band to suddenly join him in that life, so there's going to be a showdown. I think he might find a little bit of his inner Murry. Not as unpleasant, but if Brian finds the steel within himself, it's not going to be all flowers and chocolates.
