There is no other band that harmonized like the Beach Boys. They set the standard that no one else can equal. They're still doing until this day. God love these guys.
They all sound really good but it's always great to hear Mike's bass/tenor vocal! (sometimes it gets buried in the mix) For me, they're all heroes, no villains! 🙂
FTR, the show itself -- at least The Beach Boys' segment -- was recorded October 22, 1965. Weird that it took over six months to air. The next day at the same studio, they did The Jack Benny Hour.
I first heard The Beach Boys in my toddlerhood and childhood. The only song I ever heard by them at the time was “I Get Around”. Later, I heard “Little Saint Nick” and “Surfin’ U.S.A.”. Also, production masters should always be widescreen with the timecode placed on one of the black bars. Otherwise, don’t stamp it on the screen for people who like to see the picture unblocked.
Everyone might not know this, But two weeks airing this episode. They would release one of the GREATEST ALBUMS in History. By the end of the year, because of this album. They Became The Best Band in The World...until it all came crashing down a year after the airing of this episode.
It'd be ideal if NBC made a RUclips channel for The Andy Williams Show, maybe not the full episodes, (No dedication channel to old shows has ever done this anyways). But they should repost their most iconic performances from the masters they have.
Other than the color footage and the headline of 1966, there's nothing to distinguish The Beach Boys look from four years before. Which makes The Beatles musical and visual transformation that much MORE remarkable. In six months, they would be seen entering the Abbey Road studios with mustaches and the beginnings of SPLHCB. I'm certainly not taking anything away from TBB music, just merely, pointing out how The Beatles were leading the change in contemporary music and popular culture worldwide.
@@nathanbyrn2710 While The Beatles released consecutive albums, "Help", Rubber Soul", "Revolver", all within a year, it forced Brian to elevate his band's music.
Wellllllll....I wouldn't go *that* far...I don't think they brought out the striped shirts until 1964, probably an Al suggestion based on the Kingston Trio. But yeah, I can see what you mean.
@@robertfinkel7548 ? How is this pre-recorded? Notice the very real flub to start off 32:29 why would they include that if it were pre-recorded? Perhaps someone out there knows more than I do about this stuff, but it sounds very much live to me. As for Dennis, I’m not gonna say he’s the greatest drummer in the world, but I think he sounds fine here. If he had done more I’m not sure it would have worked with the overall sound. Just my opinion 🤷♂️
I thought Craig smith left the good time singers in 65. I think the date might be wrong because the beach boys also look like a bit of an anachronism given that they almost look the same as when they did that appearance for California girls especially Brian.
One of The BBs' greatest moments on American television was at 36:14. Stunning.
I always listen to this song whenever I have a bad day. It makes things kinda make sense a little more.

Brian Wilson and that great falsetto !
I did not realise that Brian Wilson was making live TV apperences then.
WOW!! Incredible! I've only just seen the Little Honda parts before!
I guess they didn't want to give Honda the free advertising. In the long run it really destroyed the Honda Motor Company.

I loved it, thank you for sharing 😊

Swim through the DARKNESS with Miss Tallulah Bankhead, Mr. Maitreya Kali...
I hope this videotape can get restored

Great footage ,but where is Bruce .
This was aired in 1966 but recorded in '65, before Bruce joined.
Anymore please who shows

Yeah, but he made the Party album which wasn't much artistically.
@@otisblueswelljr do some research as to why

Wow, Dennis was a below avg. drummer. They s ound great though
The instrumental track was pre-recorded. Dennis was not playing the drums...only pretending/miming so he couldn't actually hit the skins.

Just fixed the date when the episode aired, at the very beginning it shows when it was recorded and when it will air.
Timecodes.....I hate them!!!
