Title: The Beach Boys on American Bandstand in 1979 (video)
Post by: MatchPoint on August 25, 2017, 01:04:10 PM
An interview from the Beach Boy's 1979 American Bandstand appearance was recently posted on YouTube. Pretty cool stuff.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNUQM8uNDg8

Mike is being a weeaboo goofball and everyone else is being way too humble. Would love to see the whole episode.

Brian looks great for 1979 with only the beard covering up his PS era look... 8)

Cool clip, considering the era they all look relatively happy to be there! Love how Al and Mike crack up at the end with Al's "waiting for us to do it" line  :lol

Just based on this brief clip, I could listen to Carl talk for hours. His gentle voice is just so calming. It's almost like a Bob Ross type of effect.  I think Carl's voice and demeanor could induce ASMR in people who are capable of feeling it.

Great clip, thanks so much for sharing.

Heck yeah. I've always thought this too. You know Carl's ASMR skills are also showcased in Smiley Smile's Wonderful (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SQQD-WPbHk).

That's beautiful man, thanks!. You should start an All American Bandstand Appearances thread.

It's cool to watch them change through the ages while Dick Clark pretty much stays the same!

Amazing footage. Brian looks great and even relaxed, promoting an album he had very little to do with.

I enjoy most of L.A. but I don't understand how anyone could think performing Sumahama on TV would be a good idea.

That particular episode of AB was a US/Japan episode that had both American and Japanese acts.

Oh, I see, makes perfect sense then.

Maybe they should've played Good Timin' as the 2nd song in order to 'Brian things up' a little.

What was the point of AB? All these clips are lip-synced and the vocals date back to 15 years previously. Truly odd decision making back in the days. Were people really that thrilled to hear the exact Help Me Rhonda clip from their LPs with the aging band miming along?

How did AB draw any viewers with this shite?

It predated MTV, so seeing your favorite artists "perform" on TV was likely a thrill back then.
