With his mental health on the mend, Wilson decided to revisit the aborted ''Smile'' project from 1967. Aided by musician and longtime fan [[Darian Sahanaja]] of Wondermints, and lyricist Van Dyke Parks, Wilson reimagined the session material into something that would work in a live context. His work was finally revealed in concert on February 20, 2004, 37 years after it was conceived, though he later stated that the finished product was substantially different from what was originally envisioned. Wilson debuted his 2004 interpretation of ''Smile'' at the [[Royal Festival Hall]] in London and subsequently toured the UK. Following the tour, ''Brian Wilson Presents Smile'' was recorded, and released in September 2004. The release hit number 13 on the [[Billboard chart]]. At the [[47th Grammy Awards]] in 2005, Wilson won his first Grammy for the track "[[The Elements: Fire|Mrs. O'Leary's Cow]]" as Best Rock Instrumental. In 2004, Wilson promoted ''Brian Wilson Presents Smile'' with a tour of Australia, New Zealand and Europe.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} |
