Funny that when I saw a few of these from '74 the other day, I thought they were mine!  Blistering hot day, stage must have been about 20 or 25 feet high, and that was about the only shots you could get.  Some of the ones from other years are great, though.  Thanks, Ian

I'm glad those 1997 pics are there, but man it kills me to see Carl with a wig having gone thru chemo.

I guess I'll try to see it as inspirational that he kept on going in the face of what he was dealing with.

Carl was THE FRIGGIN MAN.

1973, 1974, 1975.

Arguably the Beach Boys' best years under the sun:

Mike Love - lead vocals & skin flute
Carl Wilson - lead guitar
Dennis Wilson - vocals (up front w/one finger in his ear)
Al Jardine - rhythm guitar
Billy Hinsche - keys, guitar
Ed Carter - guitar
Ricky Fataar - drums
Bobby Figueroa - percussion
Blondie Chaplin - guitar
Carly Munoz - piano

Thanks, Ian. When I saw the second photo of the guys playing in Houston 1969, I couldn't id the bassist until I read your book and realised that this show was part of a tour which included an eight-piece orchestra accompanying the group, including bassist Bob Boyack!

Man did their appearances change, sometimes from one single year to another. Look at Dennis Wilson in 1975 and then have a look at some 15BO/POB-era photographs.

Everyone did. Look at the Beatles photos from 1966 to 1970. So many different beard and haircut combos

WOW!!  What an absolutely fucking incredible site!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Photos for Anyone/ Everyone you want to check seems to be there...
Sadly, no pics from Carl's solo tour, but don't want to miss these:

Waves  1977 show:  http://rockinhouston.com/performers/mike-love/471/ 
  NEAT to see the inside pages of that night's program!!
   Too bad that Al didn't make the two group concert shots, but maybe he only did a small part of the show.
 What may be the outside cover for the program can be seen at Doug Hennings' performance page:    http://rockinhouston.com/performers/doug-henning-tm-benefit/472/

Brian's 2000 show:    http://rockinhouston.com/performers/brian-wilson/906/

Interesting footnote: Bob Boyack is my great uncle! In fact I just spent the week at his house. He's got a lot of funny stories, and he still plays the bass everyday, and takes lessons. He told me some stories about taking lessons with our Ms. Kaye.
