Beach Boys 2nd on Live-Bootleg-list

« 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...

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.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST

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.

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.
