There comes a moment in every person's musical maturity where they start to realize how hard the Beach Boys slap
Based 💪🏻
No doubt - they had some bangers!
That is so true
They were far away from being an US reply to the Beatles. No way
@@lorenzomoro1313 Paul McCartney himself said back in the day, after listening to surfin usa : "how are we supposed to compete with this?"
Just imagine. If even ONE person in The USA had decided not to go surfin' at the time it was written, we'd never have had this excellent song.
If there had been no Chuck Berry to plagiarize, more to the point
@@leonidlerner1381 didn't chuck berry plagiarize too
@@leonidlerner1381 all of chuck berry's songs sound the same for the most part
@@leonidlerner1381 This has already been handled in court. Go do something else with your sour grapes.
@@leonidlerner1381 it wasn't plagiarised it was credited meaning the beach boys acknowledged that chuck berry wrote it
What's crazy about the Beach Boys is, when you look up performances from them. They always sound like it's a recording, it's insane.
Brian Wilson drilled them to perfection (which we all appreciate)!
In fact, someone posted that a video from their 2012 50th reunion was lip synced. Very uninformed.
like The Beatles
@@TheLalalandloser Carl was more important to their live sound than Brian, who wasn't even at most live shows
@@paul4god310got the link? .. I’m scrolling thru comments and can’t find a comment with the link to it anywhere
The magic of the Beach Boys makes everyone young and 18 again! Just what the young people of this Nation the U.S. A. need today and hope to rejuvenate our American Summer Spirit , surfing, pretty girls on the beach, cool cars, good hamburger stands, lemonade or root beer floats, Coca Cola, hot dogs, cotton candy and great music to dance to. Fun, fun, fun etc. swimming and sunbathing.
So sad that Denny was gone before this... I'm sure it would've been so awesome if he was able to have been there.
Towards the end of his life Dennis was a liability to the band. His drinking & drugging destroyed him. He started an affair with a teen niece of Mike Love prompting the band to withhold royalties in an attempt to force him to get help. I saw a 1981 show where he was sadly drunk & throwing bottles of beer into the audience. He thought he was entertaining but it was awful.
@@edstein5642 teen niece? I thought she was a bastard child of his?
If you wanna hear actual good live dennis listen to beach boys live at knebworth 1980. After that he started to trail off
@@yourmother3207 yes, that's a brilliant concert overall and Dennis gives it his all. i watched it recently in full for the first time, i don't know why i waited so long....
@@edstein5642 Carl was planning a last ditch intervention for him after he got back to California from his vacation cabin in Colorado that he was spending the holidays at. Dennis died before he could. No guarantee it would've worked but Carl spent a long time beating himself up over it.
I love Carl's elegant presence is the best.
It’s weird to remember that at this time, The Beach Boys were only like 18 years past their prime, probably seen as a washed up bunch of has-beens.
The band is so canonized now, and they’re practically treated like ancient music that’s been passed down through the ages. Not that I don’t love them, it’s just strange to think about a time when they weren’t this classic shining thing on a pedestal.
I thought about this, they're over 50 years old now it's weird to think about
My grandpa briefly introduced me into the beach boys, after he died i was fully introduced by him from beyond the grave via dvd
Boss Nass it is hard to imagine a time where these guys aren’t treated like gods.
Only 3 years later they had there first number 1 hit for 22 years with Kokomo in an odd turn of events.
Bro, just listen to God Only Knows and you'll fully understand why Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys were canonized.
Imagine if that happens to legends what will be the future of today's SHITTY singers lmao
Oh Carl love him and that beautiful voice
Love my Beach Boys again and we all need this band in our lives right now!
I love The Beach Boys so much and their music always.
Love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys
Very good
What a GREAT day so glad I attended with my girlfriend who would become my wife. I remember getting there at dawn and walking through the park to JFK Stadium and this guy was playing guitar on a bench as we walked by on our way in. Then Joan Baez introduces him and he opens Live Aid to a crowd of over 100 thousand so clear a memory like it was yesterday we were all saying at the time that it was so cool to have seen him earlier that day. Live Aid was a seminal moment in music history and we were there!!!
This was my first time seeing a live aid video and hearing most of my fav artists live. Great concert this was!
*Normal person* : "Queen made history in Live Aid"
*The Beach Boys* : hold ours surfboards
Mike Love > Freddie Mercury
@@gav8558 Yes man 😎
Bruce Johntson > Mike Love
Brian wilson>the rest of the band
Sorry but Freddie stole the show.
High energy stuff.
Carl calls 'Mikey go!' for Mike Meros to launch into his keyboard solo. Cameraman crosses to the drummer (Mike Kowalski by the looks of it), missing the solo.
Then its Carls turn to rock his guitar solo. Cameraman crosses to Mike Meros on keyboards missing Carls solo.
Awesome.
How?
@@GraeVTrain How what?
3 Mikes lol. Love on vocals, Meros on organ, and Kowalski on drums!
I feel a 3 Mikes Tour coming on. Lol.
The drummer is Bobby Figueroa.
I'm on Maui right now listening to these musical titans. What better place than in the islands where surfing began?
Mike Love has all the charm and musical talent of a used car salesman.
And it has made him filthy rich. What's the matter? Jealous?
He was not well-liked in the group. Acting like a showoff. They group all knew who their leader was. He was also the songwriter of the group. Mike could not play an instrument.
@@StvMcQueen1Jimbob, grow up kid. This is an open forum where everyone can give their opinion. Mike was also known as the showoff of the group was not well-liked.
real beach boys fans dont talk trash on mike love and accept the fact that he contributed just as much as the rest of the beach boys
@@Roorb oh yeah right
It must have been so much fun in those days!!! Concerts and socializing!!! wow!!! Humans!!!
And no mobile phones to stare at
It was great!
39 years ago today the most iconic concert happened at Wembley Stadium🎶❤️🫶🏻
Amazing Line Up... miss a lot Dennis
Love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys yet again
the voice lead vocalist was stucked in his prime days.. cant believe that performance was live. amazing!
Mike Love
Once again I love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys and thank god I am still a big fan
By my reckoning this was about 20 years after this song came out…and it’s now almost 40 years since this performance.
Junio 2022 Escuchando y deleitándome en Chile 🇨🇱 con está hermosa música de The Beach Boys, un regaló a la humanidad que traspasa fronteras y generaciones 😀👏👏👏👏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🍷👈
So agree, just heard it played on atp tennis on prime, just had to listen again 👌
esta mejor el smile pues, te gusta lo pubico?
Carl Wilson...even then looked po’d at Love...if Brian was the heart of the BB’s, then Carl was the soul.
35 years ago, seems like yesterday, love their music.
2024 put your hands up!!
me lembro deste evento na época...1985 Live Aid ...coisa linda, verdadeiro Rock raiz! 🙆♀️🎸🎤🎹🎶
Surfing U S A and all of the California Surf Beaches and Waimea Bay Hawaii 's Surf Beach mentioned by the Beach Boys totally awesome and timeless song . Beach Boys Forever! America's Band!
Love this classic song sung by The Beach Yet again
Fantastic musicians, fantastic songs - stage presence really academic :)
I think I might know what you mean but could elaborate on what you mean by academic in this context?
honestly from the look of most of them you´d totally think "has beens" but their performances were a whole other thing.
although time so much passed, they are forever "BOYS"
Beach Boys probably the best band that played at Live Aid. They could have done a Hour set Standing on their Heads.
Queen we’re best on the day. That’s not up for discussion.
At Live 8 in 25 there were a lot of much better performances. Pink Floyd of course, but I thought Robbie Williams took the cake that day.
Best band? There were literally 5/6 better
@@JKentF wrong. David Bowie was better than Queen. Ask any of the 72,000 at Wembly.
Sir, I agree, 1000% ! They WERE best !
@@StephenSwickbecause of Heroes? That was a great moment but Freddie had his Ay Oh among other memorable moments. Hell others would argue U2 was better than both of them
êxtase de alegrias através da música, lado bom prazeroso, maravilhoso da tecnologia reviver musicais que marcaram época
THE TRUE FABRIC OF AMERICA.......THE REAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SOUND AND CULTURE.......EVERY CONCERT SOLD OUT...."SURFS UP"...THANK YOU BRIAN WILSON.....
Mike Loves hat is glued to his head.
I grew up listening to the Beach Boys
Que bárbaro, el talento que es, y será sobre generaciones completas.
Mike Love’s dancing has never once amused me
Man, I wasn’t even born in whatever year this was , but man I absolutely love The Beach Boys. I’m 16 and I know where good music comes from they were original and genius, now everybody copies them
Brian*
I'm glad you have discovered what alot of us have know for years kick back and enjoy what alot of us have know for years a true American Treasure 🤗
This was 1985, twenty years after their first heyday. You should check out their 1965 performance on the T.A.M.I. Show dvd if you want to see them really kick the doors down.
No one cares how old you are, and you don't know what "good music" is. No one knows.
I was a kid going to Kindergarten in 1985. That song is better than Taylor swift’s music, Ariana grande’s music, Olivia rodrigo’s music and most of today’s new music.
Is it just me or does this some awesome?
Wow..!! The piano hit the whole stage..that was awesome ❤❤👍
But... Who was really playing keyboards? Do you think Bruce or Brian?
I love the fun and bright clothes that they wore during this era. They should loose the dark/black look that they have now.
Hendrix Wilson Why don’t you tell them that at the next family reunion? 😂
Jabez Gill That's not nice ........
Personally I could do without Mike Love’s yellow shirt/ flat cap combo.
dark/black look :O that's racist maaaaaaan but idd we need to do that
Since when was dark black loose clothes not something people wore every era ??
Love this song. Music from the 60s is great. Much better than the mess they produce today. Richard in Dallas
Wow!2023 and still amaze at how the beach boys still gives me the chill .
Love my beach boys again and again
And again and again, and then again under a slightly different name, and a few more times....
My favourite band!
No song better encapsulates the joy of volleyball than this
I DGAF what music you’re into, this just makes ya feel good, and it should.
Aloha peeps all over the world.
When i was in year 3 we had to do a performance to this song, i actually liked the song but i never came across it again, every now and then i would sing the parts i would remember but then when i found the beatles i got recommended beach boys videos and then i finally found it!
The same thing basically happened to me, this song never left my memory since then so it's nice to know what that song was
Brilliant FUN!!!!!!!!
J'adore !! que de souvenirs de ma jeunesse
Eu também gosto muito
Once again I love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys and thank god I am alive and swinging and disco has left the building and it’s now dead
Magnificent!
I am a metal head but god dam love them beach boys👹
Countless number of hit records and one of the all time great songwriters in Brian Wilson you would think they would have sold more records than they did
but they aren't even in the Top 200 best selling artists of all time.
best song ever
If I died while surfing this would be the song for my funeral ⚰️
If they don’t play it...don’t show up 😂
@@inaminuteanimations8430 shup up!
懐かしいな‼️ビーチボーイズ、オールデイ、クィーン❗
What’s cool is all the stage hands and other performers singing along backstage when they show the side shot.
I love these guys. In 85 I had just graduated High School. The Beach Boys had only been around 25 years. Now 85 was 35 years ago. I know how they feel. We all need to go Back to the Future.
No me canso de ver y escuchar está tremenda interpretación llena de ritmo, vigor y alegría, gracias chicos de la bahía, por esta interpretación llena de vitalidad

@@juancc7480 where are you from?
@@predatori3091 I'm from CDMX, but, dont like The english lenguage, because i don't know english lenguage...
@@juancc7480 SOUTH AMERICAN SURE
They sounded and looked alot better than Zeppelin did at live aid, this is pretty good. Zeppelins set at at live aid is really hard to watch
You just don't compare The Beach Boys with Led Zeppelin don't ya?...
The remaining Beach Boys that are still alive came to my county fair a little while back. They were my favorite band at the time and it was a truly amazing moment
They played the Texas State Fair a couple years back. They sounded good, but the atmosphere was flat and the magic just wasn’t there.
Every concert new beach boys will the real beach boys stand up
love singing, here reminds me of karaoke, down the local on a Saturday night!!??
I love it
Dennis would've LOVED Live Aid!
Beach Boys is my favorite band
CARL DEAN WILSON 💕
Wearing a suit! In the heat. What a guy!
I know! A class act. 😎
Best singer in the Beach Boys.
LOVE IT
Good Vibrations was the only Beach Boys song in their Live Aid set that went to #1. Surfin’ USA was a hit, but only #3 on the US Billboard, #34 in the UK. Both great songs
The guy on keyboards is wearing a very similar Argentina team Jersey from the 70's
Super the best the Beach Boys
AMERICA'S BAND ! -------------RIP, Carl Wilson & Dennis Wilson.
I love The Beach Boys! Just happy, no drama music!
Caroline no would like to talk to you
@@JPproductions303 Most of Pet Sounds actually
@@jcfiggy yeah the dramatic songs are
You still need me
Don’t Talk(put your head on my shoulder)
God only Knows
I know there’s an answer
I just wasn’t made for these times
Pet Sounds
And Caroline no
And Sail On Sailor
You know the Beach Boys are good when you can overcome that ego and still appreciate them
Fantastic snap shot in histor.
Living Legends!!!
Just about the time we opened San Diego-Coronado Br.8/3/69!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beach Boys 4-Ever !! RIP, Carl Wilson. ------------------MJL, 75 y/o
Post-Brian Beach Boys has such a weird feel to it. Somethings obviously missing it always feels like a bad cover band.
No Wilson no boys
He’s literally on stage performing
@@ozmond I think they’re talking about beach boys today. Now it’s just Mike Love’s ego and his band in the back
sa c est des bon garcon qui s ont dans mon coeur comme les pompiers les toreador les militaires et valerie pecresse
A lot of the guitar licks you hear on the original Beach Boys records is none other than Glen Campbell playing.
Wrong. It’s Carl.
Not quite. Glen Campbell served a four month stint in late 1964 replacing Brian on BASS, and only for live performances. Then Bruce Johnston took over in early 1965. In fairness, Glen did play with the Wrecking Crew on 12-string guitar in later recording sessions with the Beach Boys, but he rarely played lead guitar.
You people are idiots! It is well documented that Glen Campbell did tons of studio work and was on many of the Beach Boys records. Look it up!
Make america great again baby it was great one time you know
Trumppppppppppp 2020
😂🤦🏼♂️
O que é bom só morre quando não mais existir vida.
Gracias
Hello Beach Boys from Lebanon :)
Bobby Figueroa on drums nails it! 😎
One great time in Philly at JFK Stadium now the site of Lincoln Financial Field I was there😉
As usual, Mike & those absurd hats, looks absurd, while Carl looks totally classy, in 95 degree heat of mid-summer. Par for the course, ; cheers for Jeff Foskett ! -------MJL, 77 y/o
Whenever possible, Brian's son John Stamos played the drums. Who knew that is 80s generation would like the beach boys.
Nice!
Every body goin surfin. Surfin USA
i dare say the best thing usa has given to the world
Wow bald Mike is amazing. Hope that cap doesn’t fly off
MIND BLOWING ATTENDENCE STILL , 35 years later.........I dont think LIVE 8 ( 20 years later in 2005 was as big???? Mike love was 45 ....... I was 18 just out of High School GLUED too MTV
I wish dennis is in that time
Nice 🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁💖🌹🥇
