Thanks C-Man for the reply. The time period was 5-6 years before I became a fan (1978) but also when I was too young even to attend concerts.
It was a good call no doubt and I wouldn’t mind knowing who deserves the credit most. You allude to Jack Reiley, who comes across as one of those guys who could sell the group very well. The right guy at the right time. No wonder Brian was so upset when learning of his death in the recent documentary (regardless of him hearing it before or not).

More will be revealed if hopefully there is another box release in the next few years.

The So Tough/ Holland Boxset Thread has some interesting comments about the possible content of any ‘In Concert’ set, but it got me thinking about how and why did this live album even come about?
Reasons it shouldn’t have even been considered. The group was past its peak, last few albums had not sold well, no Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson injured, Ricky and Blondie new unknown’s….did I mention no Brian Wilson? Yet the group and management decided to spend a lot of money funding the recording at various shows, winter at that, in the days when doing so was probably extremely costly and involved quite a team.
Did someone just say ‘This band sounds great and we have to record it regardless of any return’?

I and many others are glad they did, it’s my go-to live album of choice. But what is the story behind it. Liner notes below don’t really give a clue.

Interesting….9:35 Al talks about about a possible ‘trial’ reunion show being proposed.

Made you look. 😁

Anyway, anything known about this?

‘Howie’ Edelson posted over at the EH Board…

Trust me.
It'll be worth every penny.

*Following the release of Sounds of Summer, this fall Capitol/UMe will release the next chapter in The Beach Boys' archival releases, which will explore the bands often overlooked but pivotal albums, 1972's Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" and 1973's Holland. The deluxe multi-disc set follows last year's acclaimed boxed set Feel Flows – The Sunflower and Surf's Up Sessions 1969-1971*


No working title as yet, but a thread for comments.
Really looking forward to hearing anything from Blondie and Ricky later in the year as this comes to be.

Just pointing out that by the September this year, 4 of the C50 principles will be in their 80s. Planning and promoting any kind of Beach Boys band participation in their own tribute months out is possibly being viewed as a ‘if possible’.

So, I guess it would be someone on Audree’s mothers side of the family?

I don’t know the standard of a US census, but in my country it can be a visitor staying a night on the census date.

In David's case, he's the one suing for streaming royalties.

And it’s one he has just lost…

Jeff’s speaking voice sounding pretty good compared to a few years back after the surgery. All the best.

The usual time constraints. Graeme Edge of Hall Of Famers ‘The Moody Blues’ was the surprise omission for me. Could have done a lot better this year. I also feel if anyone was due a VIP send off, it was Charlie Watts over Taylor Hawkins, but that’s definitely just my uninformed, biased opinion.

Thank you all for highlighting why doing some kind of Beach Boys 60 TV Special is such a bad idea. 😩😩😩

He has company, Brian isn't the only Beach Boy to be dealing with a current lawsuit involving royalty payments.

Hmmm…..Considering the number of ex-wives in the Beach Boys circle, things might get very complex and expensive. 😳

(Reuters) - Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford, the first wife of Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson, has sued Wilson for a share of royalties that she says he owes her from some of the band's best-known songs.

Oh dear….☹️

Thanks for posting the story wbarnes4393. Much appreciated.

Damn shame about severing a vocal cord but he does seem to be doing well. 😳

Just wondering if anyone can access this story?

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/article/John-Stamos-helps-best-friend-and-Beach-Boys-17025659.php

The paywall pops up but under the Stamos/ Jeff picture it calls him a rare survivor. Interested how he’s doing.

Yes very sad news. I still can’t believe the way he sung so much like Dennis on Holy Man several years ago.

Not that it’s a contest, but I’d love to see a 2 member Rolling Stones 60th Tour get ‘out original..ed’ by the Hawthorne boys…even for a one-off.

Behind the scenes.

I remember when the ‘Mike fired Brian’ story was news in 2012 and Mike actually stated he legally can’t fire Brian from The Beach Boys.

Oh just once I would have liked Brian to turn up pre-gig and say ‘I’ll put my keyboard right here Mike. Where’s the set list?’. 👏👏👏

I don’t think Al needs the money, and maybe he was planning the ‘Family’ shows to support his friends after a tough 2 years, but I think the niche 3 person ‘Storyteller’ show he does is the only way to go.

Couple more clips from the doc.

Actually I think in this special case, Ronnie’s death should be on the main board.

RIP Ronnie

Actually one of the best reasons to have this site back is I was getting sick of reading ‘good riddance…shame about the lost historical archives’ posts. Hopefully that thought is put to bed permanently.

I don’t post as much as I once did and actually thought that might do me for Beach Boys message boards once SS went down, but I’ll hang in there. Nice to be back up. 👍👍👍
