Beach Boys "Fun Fun Fun" at Dodger Stadium

[Lowbacca]

So, we’ll just be needing both sources, TV and audience!

True dat.

3 possible sources of material:

a) audience recording(s)
b) official tv version
c) official version from that baseball team's channel

anything else? As far as I know the BBs themselves did not plan on taping this.

Didn't I read somewhere something about the Dodgers marketing Beach Boys/Dodgers merchandise? Is this available anywhere online?

Nothing in the "new arrivals" section of the Dodgers' online store currently. Maybe later in the season they will be though?

SF Giants fan since 1958, bitter rivals of the Trolley Dodgers all the way back to their New York days, hard to do this, but I'll have to get my hands on at least one souvenir piece (assuming I can get special permission from my sister who lives in San Francisco and is never without something with a Giants logo on it). Dodger Stadium is a great venue, in any event, and of course there is always Vin Scully to listen to, the best baseball announcer ever even if he has worked for the wrong team since 1949. Should be a fun day at the park, but I hope they lose.

Completely agree with that assessment, NHC.  I'll take SBC Park ANY day over Chavez Ravine, but I'll make an exception for one day to get a souvenir. 

Hey Mikie, you really a Giants fan?  Shouldn't you know the name of your stadium is AT&T? Just sayin'... By the way, I am going to the game tomorrow.  Anybody else here going?

As far as I'm concerned, it's still Pacific  Bell. My sister worked on one of the committees when the stadium was being promoted and built and got to be down on the field with a few hundred others on opening day in 2000 (Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Gaylord Perry, to name a few Hall of Famers). We were there for the first playoff game that year and saw several others before leaving the area. It is an absolute gorgeous park in a gorgeous location, unlike Candlestick where we suffered for 40 years-  too cold and no-man's land (although we did see several after-game BB shows there). Like Jon Stebbins says, watching the Dodgers is torturous for  a sensible Central or Northern Californian, but the Giants are blacked out here in Las Vegas unless its the Dodgers, Padres, or a regional "game of the week",  so what are you going to do?  Anyway, I really enjoyed Surfer Girl, the Anthem, and the short pre-game interview with Mike Love. it was a good time.  I'm too simple-minded to worry about the mix or the this or the that, it's the Beach Boys live doing their thing fifty years on and as long as they're on key, I'm happy.

Just got home from work, recorded the pregame and National Anthem.  From what I can tell they interviewed Mike, spoke about the band and also about Kevin Love.  The entire performance of Surfer Girl was televised, as was the National Anthem.  I'm currently encoding and then uploading to YouTube.  Will post a link when it's complete!

Thanks that's much appreciated! Can't wait to see it!

Make sure you name the YouTube video something unrelated to what it is and only pass the link around in PMs because they reeeeealllly don't like having portions of their footage disseminated without express written consent from Major League Baseball.  

That's why all the videos you find online outside of the MLB site are either filmed at the game or somebody filming their TV.

Thanks so much for sharing it!

"Hey Mikie, you really a Giants fan?  Shouldn't you know the name of your stadium is AT&T? Just sayin'... By the way, I am going to the game tomorrow.  Anybody else here going?"

Yeah, NHC, that's really sad. No excuses, but I was in a big hurry when I posted that. It was SBC Park before AT&T though, so it's the same ball park!!  I do remember freezing my ass (and feet) off in Candlestick many a time. Still have my Croix de Candlestick pin for sticking it out for an extra inning night game.

This has been a good thread.  Beach Boys and Baseball.  Only thing missing is the beer.  As the late Harry Carey useta say, "Ya can't beat fun at the ol' ball park!"

It would be a real bummer if they were only selling the merch at Dodgers Stadium...

True...or in the privacy settings set the video to "Unlisted"---only people who have the link are able to see it.  It won't show up publically on YouTube for others to find.

A little rude, no?  The guy is going to give us some great video here....no need to rush him!

Patience, my friend. Takes time to get the videos ready & upload em. Then YouTube has to process them or whatever they do in between when they're uploaded and available to watch.

I just realized the time on these posts aren't in my time zone.  All the posts say like 3 o'clock, and it's almost 7 where I am, so i thought these posts were four hours old!  My bad!
