Title: Beach Boys Live Acoustic Sept. 2012
Post by: Jon Stebbins on May 18, 2014, 09:48:37 AM
Going through some of my old files and found this...i shot it on my iPhone at the BB's Grammy Museum performance in Sept 2012. What an honor to stand 10 feet away from this happening...apologies for the shaky camera, i was into the song not the cinematography. A great night. A great year.

Nice to see in a stripped down and basic style. They seem to be right into it. I was reminded by I think Dennis saying many years ago how much they still loved to gather around a mic.

"We're just singing fools!" or words to that effect.

that's a cool video;    coupla questions:  

Couldn't tell who that was playing the beat box in the back row, but it resembled Marla a lot. ( a league of their own)  right player?  
Was Lee Dempsey in attendance? That sure looks like his chrome dome in the first row....

That is John Cowsill beating the box. Scott T, Jeff F, and Darian on the back line.

I don't recall seeing Lee there that night.

Thank you Jon! I would love if a DVD of this performance and/or the one they did for Rolling Stone was released.

Why don't you just copy this one and press up some DVD's?

I love Brian's little shouty bit on the fade!

Cheers,

Amazing.

This far along and they can break our hearts one day and then bring us back again watching something like this.

I love the sung guitar solo and Brian's enthusiastic singing at the end (which amused Al).

Thanks for posting this Jon. I was lucky enough to be there that night also and this brings back great memories.
