@@charlieroberts993 oh cool, same here! I'm 14 also. I love this type of music, and especially the Beach Boys. I mean, what's not to like?

You never doing, you probably didn't even like them because it probably was your parents music, then you grow up & start to realise music is universal. There were many artists i didn't l Iike that much because my parents listened to it. I remember Johnny Cash was one of them.

I hated Elvis, probably because of that I've had to discover Johnny Cash, June Carter, Elvis & many others fot myself & I really love & enjoy them. Hindsight is great isn't it, all these artists were there all the time. I only wish when I was younger that I was mature enough to enjoy all this music with my parents and Grandma but I wasn't.
yes Brian doesn't look miserable but he doesn't look amused by the whole scene either. He's almost making fun of the girls screaming. There's a reason he stopped touring.
Gregory Karalis dude don't you mean ever somebody at Whitey's suggested that if he passed away that should be a national holiday and the guy was half deaf
Enrico Sanchez The Beach Boys is and will forever be Americas band! They're a whole lot better than that "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH" crap. Just compare the songs "409" from them & "for the benefit of Mr. Kite" from the fab four. They're no match for the beach boys talent. The Beatles made clown music.
The Beatles were a lot more than "Yeah, yeah, yeah," and to say they made clown music based on one song is being ignorant. The Beatles weren't dependent on the surfing sound and "409" is hardly competition to works like Rubber Soul and Revolver.
100% Live as well Absolutely brilliant Remember as if it was only yesterday rushing to get my deliveries done (I had an after school job in a local Food Store) on my delivery bike, This was Ready Steady Go broadcast early Fri eves. The false start on second song.....priceless !!
Excellent. What fine guitarists they are. Brian on bass is really accomplished as is Carl's quite splendid surf guitar leads. And to sing such complicated harmony at the same time. It's so great that this was truly a live performance. The standard of songwriting in the 60s was awesome. Songs built to last forever
Wow really cool footage! They sure pull off a lot difficult harmonies and key changes in these tunes. No special equipment or effects just raw talent and energy.
Love seeing live music, where people can actually sing without autotune. Where oc sail ally mistakes are made (eg, that beginning on song #2!), but that's part of the charm. Thanks for a great video.
It constantly baffles me how they could make so much music (live) with only 5 people! Obviously, it's the vocals but quite often the music is barely in the mix and they still sound huge. This is a super performance both with the sound and vocals. I love it when they mess up the opening to "When I grow up to be a man"! It illustrates just how difficult it is to even start a song like that!
No? Check out the history of "Pet Sounds". "Rolling Stone noted that the percussion in the album included sleigh bells, timpani, güiro, vibraphone and bongos, previously unused in rock music. The session musicians used Coke cans, water bottles and orange juice jugs for percussion." Might not have had "digital" in 1966, but Brian used everything but the kitchen sink, and he used that too...
Mattley Crue Really tho. Considering Brian played 1 note on the bass and they start with that 4 part harmony right away must be so hard. And I bet they had really bad monitoring so they can't hear themselves well. They certainly didn't have in ear monitors at that time.
But Leon, on Pet Sounds it wasn't just 5 or 6 guys. It was the whole "wrecking crew" of studio musicians. I thought the original poster was referring to this older stuff, before Pet Sounds.
I believe this was September 1964 as part of their Europe and UK Tour. That makes Mike 23 years old, Brian and Al Jardine 22, Dennis 19 and Carl 17, he wouldn't be 18 till December. Saw this on the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' (classic UK TV music show) about 1976? Loved it!
Great clips. Just saw the legendary Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, and Blondie Chaplin perform at the San Diego Fair. What a show, and they're still going strong. Brian can't hit the high notes, but Al's son does them for him.
Mike is a hot guy. Love his looks and vocals and his stage presence. Wow, absolutely awesome performance putting America back on the map im the British singles chart.
This performance is awesome! Maybe the audio systems were different in the UK or more likely positioned their microphones closer to the bass drum, therefore the sound is very "British Beat" so popular in America as well! This version of the song "When I Grow Up" sounds way better than the studio recording in my opinion. Being a huge Beatles fan I enjoyed their beat sound in England.
beach boys such a great american invention and lovely music for all of us. what a story....i remember kids trying to pretend they didn't like beach boys (surfer carp), but in fact what great structure in songwriting,; great inventions
Brian's bass playing is perfect, but playing with a thumb? Doesn't make it easy. That falsetto is just surreal, too. Coming from a big lad like that, just amazing, he's one of the great geniuses of the last 2 centuries.
I started playing bass with my thumb back in 1964, switched to a felt pick, then hard picks and/or middle and forefinger. Brian was one of my earliest favorite bassist.
Wow, love this. There sound was so complicated, amazing that they could pull it off live. I like how they had the false start there, so refreshing to see a "real" live music performance.
alan murr Glad the British were years ahead when it came to music. They kept the Beach Boys alive for the second half of the 60s when the American public ditched the Beach boys in favor of country music. I guess America wasn't ready for Brian Wilson's prog rock.
Great to see the special relationship that America and Britain have and had which is very evident here. Just as America embraced The Beatles and others, Britain welcomed many American groups. Great to see.
What a great video!!! It took me to this time when I started to follow them. I’m 70 now and the memories are so sweet when I hear them. I lived near Santa Cruz, Ca so MUCH of my time was spent there at the beach.
Visited the LA area many times and unless I hear the Beach Boys it's just not the same. My favorite motel plays their music nonstop at their outdoor coffee shack ... love it. My whole day is set.
Proud to be a witness to the genius of The Beach Boys, Beatles, crosbie stills and nash etc as an impressionable teen. I’ll never forget the first time hearing those harmonies. Must’ve played Sgt Peppers and pet sounds on repeat for weeks .. really blew my mind to the endless opportunities in song writing and beauty of sound, seeing as I write and play myself! need some of that today on the mainstreams. Glad to see knocked loose are doing bits
When I was a small kid one of my first pieces of music was a Beach Boys 8-track tape. I had a red, plastic, portable 8-track player I would put that tape in and carry around. I didn't really give The Beach Boys much thought until I was older and I gave them another listen. It was Pet Sounds that made me realize they were more than beach music. The other day I saw them on Ed Sullivan and that made me interested into going back, and what better place than here.
Every live performance I watch of The Beach Boys doing I get around is pretty much the same, same shirts, same on point vocals and playing, same feeling I get hearing Brian hit those high notes, just awesome. Even mikes awkward dancing is the same!
The part where the interviewer was asking Brian what he wanted to see, Brian kinda reminded me of Bill Murry. His answers and the way he held is mouth.
The BEACHBOYS were excellent at what they did especially those early surf and car records. Nobody could touch them. And they were ours not a British invasion band
The Beach Boys were able to outperform the Beatles at the height of the Swinging Sixties.Their California surf music won the hearts and admiration of the British fans.
Difficult to over estimate how mind blowing it would have been to hear this sound in 1963. I saw them support Elton John in 1975 and they blew him off stage.
I remember seeing this live ... READY, STEADY, GO! on a Friday evening with Keith Fordyce and Cathy McGowan. Where did all the musical talent go? It's got to be out there, but you just don't hear stuff like this, today!
At my ripe old age of 74, these songs really brings back lots of memories as a yute. (G) I've been a 'Beach Boys' fan from their first hit record back in the early '60s.
Not bad for live. Even with the screw up on the opening of "When I Grow Up..", it's still a difficult thing to start their 5 part harmony without an instrumental note. Give Mike a little credit for stopping it and getting it right. If he starts off key, the instruments would sound terrible when they joined it.
Brian screwed it up - he's not a real great live performer (self-admitted). But he was key to their live-show IMO, but he later abandon the guys and put them in a terrible spot, which they all resented and hated him for (i'm guessing).
I went to Dorsey High with Mike Love. I remember when he ran cross country with the team across from my apartment in the VG. My best friend Jim Otto briefly dated his sister Maureen who was a professional harpist. She played at school assemblies. Once when Jim saw her at Dorsey, he panicked and ran, slipping and falling in front of her. Anyway, the Beach Boys were one of the best. Quite a sound they created. The high note guy, Brian?, made it pop, Mike was steady/good. The writing I guess was the key.
Damn I saw Brian Wilson three times right when he was touring after completing SMILE twice and I swear the second he appeared right up to the end it was JUST like having front row tickets to see MOZART!! I think that was 2003? Plus a year or so later I saw him again playing Pet Sounds! The crowd went crazy! He started Smile w Let’s Do It Again Jesus! He’s a true Genius! Timeless music 100 years from now they’ll still be up there w Mozart. A gift from Heaven! 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝😇😇😇😇

It's such a shame Brian couldn't keep doing the live thing, he rocks here. And all sounding on point, great like the studio version.
I can only imagine how wonderful their voices sounded live. Would just fill the room. I bet those kids were super happy
Mike's response to that question is brilliant ! "What do you mean?? It's a sport!"
"Oh, I dunno, it's... well-- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!? Surfing's a sport!"😆
The Beach Boys survived the British invasion due to their unique style of music.
Very good group.
But they couldn't escape the drug invasion of the 60's

Brain's voice is just a gift from God plain and simple.
More like a gift from his parents. Your ancient superstition heroes are meaningless here
His voice wasn't his strongest asset. He wrote all of their music. Gifted composer.
Brian Wilson is without a doubt a Musical Genius. Nuff' said !
WAS a musical genius. The genius stuff stopped after 1966.
Gregory Karalis dude don't you mean ever somebody at Whitey's suggested that if he passed away that should be a national holiday and the guy was half deaf
It isn't close to stopping, I saw him last year doing Pet Sounds and he is still amazing, always a genius.

I love Mike's smile. I find him very sexy :)
Very nice! Loved when they messed up and started over. I love them
It was cool of the beach boys to let their uncle be the lead singer
Mike is a cousin
Mike Love stopped getting carded when he was 12.

bonzo dog watch his live smile performance, he actually plays it
How do we know youre not lying?
I'm sure Keith Moon tuned into this show as he was probably the biggest Beach Boys fan in UK at the time.
No doubt John and Paul were listening also.

Good show nice to see them so young.
Now THAT was fun 😎 I grew up listening to The Beach Boys and hearing them perform live confirms in my mind just how talented they really were.
