Dennis is so much fun to watch during this performance. His reaction to a broken stick is priceless, his stage presence rich and his enthusiasm so infectious. I love how he shakes his head like crazy. We miss you, Dennis.
I hate when people talk about Dennis Wilson's "lack of drumming skills" well this should prove them wrong. He is a great drummer. You don't need to be flashy, just keep the rhythm. (He can do both)
Hal Blaine, the top session drummer of the 1960's and 70's who played on more hits than any other drummer also said that Dennis was an excellent drummer.
Gotta love Dennis Wilson. One of the few drummers who played open-handed style (non-crossed, left-side ride cymbal). What he lacked in technical proficiency (and perhaps subtlety) he made up for with enthusiasm and sheer propulsive power. At one point he breaks a stick, and literally doesn't miss a beat.
Dennis always got slagged for not being consistently good & Brian regularly used Hal Blaine in the studio. But for energy, enthusiasm & chick appeal, Dennis had no equal. Remember - this was pre Keith Moon.
I dont know if you like 80s Rock but check out Edge of Seventeen Live 1982 or something like that where she is wearing a White dress. It way better than studio.
The entire show was like that. Steve Bender did a trail burning level of production on it. Broke the norm for music shows. Bender also produced the Elvis Singer (Comeback) Special in 1968.
For all the talk of Brian Wilson being a genius, and I'm sure he is, for me, it's his falsetto singing, on so many of the early and mid 60s Beach Boys songs, that blows me away. Brian was a big, tall guy, playing bass guitar when performing live, at least, and yet he can simultaneously sing this incredible falsetto. I'd like to say Brian Wilson's singing, is as iconic and essential to classic rock history as even that of Robert Plant. And, despite so many commenters here, and in general, being negative about Mike Love, I think his lead singing is outstanding (I think he's in some Vocal Hall of Fame, for his work with The Beach Boys), and I appreciate his maturity and stage presence.
@@roseforyoubabe yeah but he couldn’t write wouldnt it be nice. And The Beach Boys were a groundbreaking group that helped create the California sound, while gibb helped create disco. Disco sucks!
@@roseforyoubabe I don’t know, hard to beat Brian Wilson’s 1964 falsetto. The end of “Fun, Fun, Fun” where Wilson does his “Wooh ooooh.....” that’s pretty iconic. Then again, Barry Gibbs “Nights on Broadway” falsetto was pretty iconic too.
Wow. there is such a profound difference between the first impression of the beach boys and the underlying reality - and it really comes out in this song for me. It combines the carefree aesthetic of beach boy's surf rock with the haunted underlying musical genius of Brian wilson's composition.
Absolutely LIVE! Carl's amp looks like a clock radio, but his Rickenbacker nevertheless can be heard ringing out above that snare drum Dennis is ferociously beating into submission!
When dennis broke and threw his stick....that was a pivotal defining rock and roll moment. Nobody had ever heard anything like this when they came out. They were a sensation
Dude is one of the, if not, the most prolific pop musician post WWII. Great singing voice, immense musical understanding, visionary ideas, inspiration for Sgt. Pepper's, and the reason pop music could establish itself as a serious art form in the 60's. Is there anything this man can't do?
Dennis Wilson is one of my favorite drummers. I was sad when he died. But he is an inspiration to me and to the school we went to. Hawthorne High Cougars!
As much as I like Hal Blaine's drumming on so many of the Beach Boys' studio recordings (including "I Get Around"), Dennis had a style, energy, and excitement to his live playing that is great to watch. RIP, Dennis and Carl.
And look at the Knebworth concert... still killing it even after all they had been through as a group and his own personal struggles at that time. RIP Denny Wilson...so under-rated.
I like how the Beach Boys had the lead singer positioned to the side like he was/is just another musician. I can't think of another band with a lead singer that did that.
why did so many 90's commercials choose to incorporate the Beach Boys in everything? 409 commercials? Sonic fast food commercials. Even christmas. Its funny growing up in the 90's and remembering this shit, always funny when I first heard this I thought it was modern. To find out it was 40 years past my time. Funny.
@@dutchreagan You probably see this alot but Jesus Christ is coming back soon and I don't want any of your to experience hell so please repent while u still can✝️👍
Two comments regarding previous posts. 1. Mike Love did play an instrument - the saxophone. Fun, Fun, Fun is one song where he plays the sax (I think) 2. Chuck Berry DID get credit for Surfin' USA. He got both song and lyric credit even though he didnt write the lyrics. Now this might have happened after The T.A.M.I. Show but he did get credit Beach Boys are my favorite band of all time and this song is my favorite.
There's a motel across the street from Disneyland with a coffee kiosk (called Kowabunga) that played Beach Boys 24/7. My favorite time was early morning, before the kids woke up and clamored to leave for the park ... and I would have a quiet half hour of coffee, muffins and the soothing sound of the Beach Boys. All in the gentle warmth of a California sunrise surrounded by palm trees. And then the kids woke up! Yikes!!
On this day in 1964 {April 18th} the Beach Boys performed "I Get Around" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'... One month later on May 23th, 1964 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #76; and on June 28th it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100 {and for 9 of those 15 weeks it was on the Top 10}... The record's B-side, "Don't Worry Baby", also charted; it peaked at #24 and stayed on the Top 100 for 10 weeks... On the same 'Bandstand' show they performed "Fun Fun Fun", it had preceded "I Get Around" on the Top 100 and reached #5... R.I.P. Dennis Wilson {1944-1983}, Carl Wilson {1946-1998}, and Dick Clark {who passed away on this day in 2012 at the age of 82}...
BEST MUSIC SHOW OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN AND SHOUT FACTORY DID A FABULOUS JOB ON BLU RAY WITH IT EVEN PUTTING BACK IN THE BEACH BOYS APPEARENCE AND SONGS AFTER A LONG LEAGAL BATTLE FROM THE BEACH BOYS AND CAPITAL RECORDS BUT SHOUT FACTORY NEVER GAVE UP.
Al Jardine is the guitarist all the way on the left. He and Brian were high school friends. Brian Wilson was the songwriter and producer of all the great BB hits. Mike Love wrote some of the lyrics for some of the songs, despite his lawsuits to the contrary. Dennis drowned in 1983 and Carl succumbed to cancer in 1997 or 1998.
first beachboys song i heard, in 1963? 64? what a great song. great music, and the lyrics were different than any lyrics in any other R&R song I'd heard, and I could identify with it. i think this was their first big hit?
i'm thirty and this was way before my time, but better than most of the last 20 years of 'music'. sometimes i feel sorry for kids not really understanding what real music is. damn autotune!
These shows really were electrically charged with some extra magic. I wish I could have been there! But as someone once sang, "why was I born too late?"
Such energy.Look at Dennis throughout the performance.He's got so much energy.Doesn't matter he wasn't a technical player.Probably didn't know a paradiddle from a taradiddle,but what you saw there was pure heart and soul...not to mention testosterone!!!
Mike Love: "They're loving my moves"

Yeah! He's a real square ...man!
He loves to show off his Frug.

@Doug Durrum Watch Todd in the Shadow's review on The Beach Boys Summer in Paradise. Your welcome.
He has the Daddy factor going!
Love it!
Love Dennis's drumming, Love the harmonies (especially Brian) and even Mike's dance moves. Yeah I said it! ;-).....
This is priceless footage. Dennis Wilson is putting on a clinic!!!
Lol...Brian at 1:41 trying to slow the tempo back down.... drummer wasn't having it.
Just noticed that too..you eagle eyes...
you got good eyes and ear dude...
Lead guitar tried to then the lead tenor tried a few seconds later both failed
The Oneeders !
Dennis beating the shit outta those drums lol
I love Dennis so much I wish he was still here :(
He was the only true surfer in the group
definetly
Everyone loves Dennis but Brian is the heartthrob to me 😍
@Meredith And such a nice guy too! 😊
I’ve always loved Carl lol
Brian was incredibly cute before he gained so much weight.
Me too. What a doll.
Me too
When dennis broke and threw his stick....that was a pivotal defining rock and roll moment. Nobody had ever heard anything like this when they came out. They were a sensation
I love what Al Jardine brings with his strong backing vocals. RIP Boys.
Mike Love’s voice was and is still solid.
America’s Band 🇺🇸❤️
Real music from great times. I need a time machine.
Brian is so cute, love his voice and Dennis is wicked on those drums. Mikes dancing cracks me up lol
Listen to Brian rip that bass and sing his falsetto high parts perfectly!!!
He also had the girls in the palm of his hand!!! Mucho charisma, of which Mike Love has nada!
That’s some talent
Dude is one of the, if not, the most prolific pop musician post WWII. Great singing voice, immense musical understanding, visionary ideas, inspiration for Sgt. Pepper's, and the reason pop music could establish itself as a serious art form in the 60's. Is there anything this man can't do?
high falsetto that was barry gibb
I think people won't realize how hard that is until they try it. It sure happened to me, I still can't do it
Dennis Wilson was a punk rocker before punk rock was punk rock.
And Mike Love's dancing makes me cry.
laughing till you cry?
Brian nearly whacks him with his bass at 1:04 XD
Dennis Wilson is one of my favorite drummers. I was sad when he died. But he is an inspiration to me and to the school we went to. Hawthorne High Cougars!
Man it doesn't get any better than this does it? Dennis Wilson never looked SO sweet and he is just KILLING those drums.
Dennis stole the show here
He was also the only one who surfed
Man, I miss music like this. Simple lyrics, killer beat, catchy and can cruise down the road in my car 🚗
Brian: What tempo we at Dennis?
Dennis: Yes.
More like:
Brian: Are we playing this fast or really fast Dennis?
Dennis: yes
Dennis play those drums!!!!! Was so great to see them in concert, really got into it!
THIS IS MY FAV SONG IM KISSING THE COMPUTER OF BEATIFULINESS
As much as I like Hal Blaine's drumming on so many of the Beach Boys' studio recordings (including "I Get Around"), Dennis had a style, energy, and excitement to his live playing that is great to watch. RIP, Dennis and Carl.
Rock N Roll Drum God! Dennis Wilson, the energy!
Carl is a very underrated lead guitarist.
i love how dennis just takes off and leaves the tempo in the dust!
This song will exist for generations and beyond that
Brian playing some serious bass licks there :)
That bass line is MURDER to play and he makes it look so easy!
And look at the Knebworth concert... still killing it even after all they had been through as a group and his own personal struggles at that time. RIP Denny Wilson...so under-rated.
I loved the Knebworth versions of "I Get Around" and "Barbara Ann".
I was in heaven! They had energy, talent, great voices and humor. They impressed me so much, what a great band!

Alright get it now. I love some beach boys especially Brian. Killing that falsetto while playing bass. Great performance 🎵🎼❤🤍💜
it is nice to see some young ppl today have good taste in music
Oh my gawd. I freaking love the Beach Boys. Seen them in concert. Awesome!

This is THE video that made me a beach boys fan. The video that got me into the band that changed my life. Beach Boys forever!!
1:10 Dennis throws away a broken drum stick :-D

He even punched Charles Manson in the face.
it was more than a punch he beat the shit out of him didnt he?
@@TheBC313 he did indeed
Dennis was the Golden Boy of Rock n Roll
This what you call music superb !!!!!
I just think this is one hell of a rock n roll performance.
It's funny how Dennis can speed up so much and yet Carl, Al, and Brian don't have any problem getting into lock step with the increasing pace.
I love this song so much I can't stop listening to it💚💚💚💚💚💚

The perfect song musically and vocally. They were the perfect combination of guys!
what heartthrobs!
wish this song was longer...

Pretty much all Beach Boys songs could have gone to 3- 3:30 min.. most were too short but I guess that is how they were back then.
it was longer...56 yrs. now longer and going strong

I hear ya. Brian had so much charisma and plain old sex appeal and to a large extent, still has some of that old charm!
Brian was a schizophrenic and married. Girls liked the drummer Dennis Wilson.
