List of Live rare cover recordings

[The_Beach]

Does anyone have a list or know of any song The Beach Boys preformed lived that was never released on an album? Can be either an unreleased song or a cover of a song that was never on a beach boys album as long as they preformed it once!.  Monster Mash Dose NOT count but Back In the USSR would!

I will keep this list updated!

THanks for the link! and I knew there was another celebration  track just  couldn't think of it!!!

Deleted DWB

[Gregg]

They did "Dancing In the Street" for a while in the early 90's. I remember Carl sounding particularly good on the "sweet sweet music" bg vocals.

[Shark]

When they toured with Chicago in '89, they did covers of Dancing In the Street, In the Midnight Hour and Feeling Stronger Every Day but this was during the combined set when both bands played together so I'm not sure if that counts for this list.

[Ian]

The letter-1967

[The_Beach]

Yes I will add them! THank you for reminding me of the beachChicago tour!

[SMiLE Brian]

The letter-1967

Such a underrated cover!

[The_Beach]

Any other Chicago cover live with or with out Chicago touring with them live???


The letter was on Made in California

[HeyJude]

When they toured with Chicago in '89, they did covers of Dancing In the Street, In the Midnight Hour and Feeling Stronger Every Day but this was during the combined set when both bands played together so I'm not sure if that counts for this list.

There are also some soundboard clips on YouTube (or at least, were up recently) of the BBs joining Chicago during their 1989 tour for "You're the Inspiration" (Carl on part of the lead), "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" (Al on partial lead), and "Wishing You Were Here" (Carl and Mike on parts of the lead).

[HeyJude]

Cruisin' (another Celebration track)

I Write The Songs

Did they every actually do "Happy Birthday America" in a live concert? I know the Mike studio recording has some audience noise at the front of it, but I never knew they tried it live.

Happy Birthday America
I Write The Songs

Did they every actually do "Happy Birthday America" in a live concert? I know the Mike studio recording has some audience noise at the front of it, but I never knew they tried it live.

Nope... also, not a BB track, credited to "Mike Love & Friends".

[HeyJude]

I have a big list somewhere on an old file of all the BB songs performed live that weren't on live albums (both covers and BB tracks, alternate leads, etc.). A few off the top of my head as far as covers:

Love Me Tender (done at least once after Elvis died)
Come Softly To Me (late 1981 and/or early 1982)
Be My Baby (late '81 and/or early '82)
Bony Maronie (1984)
Oh, Pretty Woman (around 1996 with Chris Farmer singing lead, if you want to count that)

Don't know if we want to count semi "Solo" sets during BB concerts, like Dennis's in 1977 or Brian's in 1989. If so, we could include:

What's Wrong (1977; there was another Dennis song from POB done during those sets, can't remember which)
Love and Mercy (1989)
Walkin' the Line (1989)
Melt Away (1989)

[HeyJude]

Also, "Hey Little Cobra" during the 1986 tour.

They also did "Wishing You Were Here" *without* Chicago later in 1975 after the "Beachago" tour ended.
