   DVD Uncovers Story Of Wilson's 'Smile'   
      
   Rhino has set a May 24 release date for the DVD "Brian Wilson Presents   
   Smile," chronicling the making of the former Beach Boys leader's long-lost   
   masterwork. Disc one of the set encompasses the Showtime documentary   
   "Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of Smile," plus four   
   interviews with Wilson, one of which was conducted by "Smile" lyricist Van   
   Dyke Parks.   
      
   The second disc sports a full performance of the album mixed in 5.1   
   Surrround Sound, outtakes from the documentary, footage from the recording   
   of the album and Wilson performing five songs at his piano both solo and in   
   collaboration with band members.   
      
   As previously reported, Wilson recently won his first Grammy for album track   
   "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow," which was named best rock instrumental. The artist   
   will perform "Smile" in its entirety on a summer North American tour, which   
   will run from Aug. 9 in Boston to Sept. 4 in Los Angeles.   
      
   A European run, scheduled to begin June 22 in London, will be a   
   "hits-oriented" tour, according to the artist's official Web site.   
      
   Wilson is already writing songs for his next work. "I think it will be a   
   rock'n'roll album," he told Billboard last month. "Wouldn't that be great?   
   'Smile' was a pop album. We need rock'n'roll for sure. We just want to try   
   to make something that makes people get out of their seats and dance."
