As a bit of trivia Brian did not play this show. Both Brian (in his first year into Landy 2.0) and Dennis missed a lot of shows in 1983. The last show that all the original 5 Beach Boys played together (with Bruce also) was 6 weeks earlier on August the 3rd in Costa Mesa, California.
This was an evening show or at least I saw them this evening, but I don’t know if they played an afternoon show. Dennis was so direct appreciative and loving to the audience he sang you are so beautiful. He was very drunk tho
Yes, there was a late afternoon show, I was there. I still remember how they had the stage setup on the racetrack. There was another drummer too, he and Dennis were playing drums side by side.
I usually get the information about the band members from different websites and stuff. I thought it was a bit weird that he was only listed for vocals, considering he couldn’t sing by this point. But theres also been plenty of reports that he was a drunk mess during these final shows, so I don’t believe he would have been playing drums either. I have no clue tbh. I’m sure someone knows what he was up to.
Denny's last concert.So sad.R.I.P. Dennis.We love your music.❤️

I was there! Watched part of the concert in the stands and the rest from backstage. So Sad, RIP Denny (and Carl.)
You remember anything about Dennis Wilson being drunk that night
@@zachnewland288 yes, but Den had several addictions, as so many of us during those years. He was an amazing guy! Miss Den AND Carl too!

You remember anything about Dennis struggling with alcohol and anything about him being drunk that night

I see you only credited Dennis with vocals. Was he not playing drums anymore by this point ?

I believe there are several photos from this show that do in fact show Dennis played the drums.
Dennis Wilson was playing drums but there was another drummer playing on a separate kit next to him.
Dennis Wilson was supposed to play next day but the show was shorten due to his drunken behavior
