Touring musicians 1967-2011 (rough guide)

[celticsurfer]

Michel Colombier brass section from his orchestra played with the Boys
at the Unicef concert (dec 67) and at Olympia (june 69).

Putter Smith (bass) - 1973

Whoa, Mr. Kidd himself played for the BBs?  Crazy.

OK Me + Barnyard posted at the same time.Jeff joined December 1981

I think the Sun City, South Africa gigs were (at about) the first ones Jeff played.

You are indeed correct.

[PongHit]

my girlfriend at the time asked me how many people had played with the Beach Boys

  You should've married her!

[SBonilla]

Putter Smith (bass) - 1973

Whoa, Mr. Kidd himself played for the BBs?  Crazy.

In 1978 I saw him playing jazz in a bar/restaurant on Santa Monica pier. He was very approachable and seemed to appreciate that I knew who he was. He ended up playing standup bass on a Earle Mankey produced session of mine at Art Laboe's Original Sound recording studio. Very nice guy!

[c-man]

Robert Kenyatta is a percussionist, not a woodwind player (Brad Elliott mistakenly identified him as the latter in his book).
Tony Leo was their drum tech & played some important percussion parts for them when Bobby F. or Mike K. sat in for Dennis on the drum kit.  I'm unaware of him playing any keyboards for them.

[Smilin Ed H]

Didn't Doug Dragon also play - briefly - with them back in 67?

[Mikie]

Yeah, I read an interview somewhere (with Daryl?) who said that all three Dragon brothers were on stage with The Boys at one point.

[Pretty Funky]

What was the line-up for the Stars and Stripes project? A few different faces on the DVD concert footage. C & W musicians perhaps?

[Aegir]

my girlfriend at the time asked me how many people had played with the Beach Boys

  You should've married her!

no, no, no. even just judging her taste in music, no. I'm sure I've gone on multiple times about how her relationship with music infuriates me to no end. and one of the worst fights we ever got in was when we saw the Beach Boys play in Atlantic City a few years ago and I wanted to get closer to the stage and she said it was already too loud from 500 feet away on the boardwalk.

[c-man]

Didn't Doug Dragon also play - briefly - with them back in 67?

Doug was on a few tours in '68, including the first one that Kowalski and Carter played.

[Aegir]

There's also this list on the Mike & Bruce band site: http://beachboysband.net/PASTMEM_A/PAST_MEMBERS/PM_left_list_sub.htm

I see why no one has commented on this. Here's a better link: http://beachboysband.net/PASTMEM_A/PMA_MASTER_PAGE.htm

[Mr. Wilson]

Thanks Eric for your update..! No offense to Phil..He was either very tired or buzzed..He had red eyes + was very low key..I met him at a meet + greet after Mike + Bruce show,Disappointing he wasnt still in band...I hadnt heard he left.He is the one guy in current BB band i still miss..He writes good songs.Check his cd out..Paul

[Mikie]

Aegir, when this thread started, I immediately thought of the the alumnus section of the BeachBoysBand site. Didn't bother going there 'cause I thought everything AGD listed was already there. Not the case - but anyway......I've never heard of these guys. Maybe somebody could fill in the blanks. If I Googled them, I could probably get an indication of who they are. I recogize Ed Teduri from one of the album credits:

RICKY  CASTRATA
MARK  ISHAM
JEFF KAPLIN
JOE  POLLARD
JOHN  RENNER
JOE SAMPLE (Know who he is but didn't know he played on the road with the BB).
ERNIE SMALL

STERLING  SMITH

Also Eric Aniversario lists Adrian Baker and Jeff Foskett in this September 11, 1982 show:

I assume Adrian left soon after because he is not present at the Jamaica concert in November.

Stanley T. Sichell played guitar in late 1990.

Stanley joined the band onstage during the encores for the Chicago/Beach Boys tour of 1989. In August 1990 he relenquished his crew position to concentrate on playing/singing with the band. Sometime between March and May 1991 he was apparently dropped by the band.
