Title: Beach Boys 2nd on Live-Bootleg-list
Post by: Rocker on April 29, 2008, 05:01:45 AM
The music magazine "Classic rock" has in it's current release the 50 best live-bootlegs. Strangely no.1 is the Million Dollar Quartett (Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins) wich not only isn't live (well, it's a jam session, so it kinda is live), it's also an officially release and not a bootleg. No. 2 is "The Beach Boys live in Sacramento".

I always loved these shows as they show the Beach Boys at their early peak with Brian. After Brian quit, it took some years imo until they sounded this fresh and rocking agin...

I agree with you rocker...When bruce came in the bass parts got weak ...I guess its not his natural instrument.. Hal Blaine
has said that Bruce is one of the best Piano players he knows..

From what I can say, he really is a great piano player.
I think that it's not only Bruce, the others started to slow down too after Brian quit. Even Dennis. Compare "I get around" from Sacra,ento with the same song from '66.

Would love to know how they sounded with Glenn Campbell.

Has any Glen Campbell-era live show ever been booted?

Were any shows officially recorded at the time? Maybe Alan Boyd knows the answer?
