Assuming you mean Wembley Stadium...

June 21st 1975...

About 75,000-80,000...

No.

Am I correct though-that the BBs were also in Wembley Arena on June 6 and 7 1980, as well as on July 19 1987, Sept 7 1989, June 24 and 25 1991 and June 29 and 30 1993? Now is this venue different from the stadium?

Correct - Wembley Arena is a much smaller indoor venue, in the same complex as Wembley Stadium. Originally built for the 1934 Empire Games and called Wembley Pool (go on, guess why...), depending on how the seating is configured it can hold up to 12,500 people.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Pic of DW standing on the piano is Wembley Arena 1980 - all the others are 1975, and the guy in the shorts is Jimmy Guercio.

Only things missing are Blondie and Ricky; wish they had stayed on a couple of more years...if it weren't for that damned Steve Love calling Blondie a "n-----"...

BTW, cool pics...didn't know Mike was into the turban and gold vest in '75...thought he didn't do that until after 15 Big Ones came out.
