I think it might be easier to date the everly brothers photo.  Brian is either visiting them backstage at a concert or a tv taping. You'd need to see where they appeared in the la area in 1965-66.

It didn't look to my eyes like the Everlys photo was from the same Capitol event as the other photos.

In the picture thread someone mentioned way back that the Everly picture was taken backstage in '66 at a show at the Hollywood Bowl. However this site doesn't mention an Everly Brothers show in '66:

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.

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.

Brian had a habit for closing his eyes when a picture is being taken, I think he still does it now  LOL

Have you ever had your pic taken with those old phosphorous flashbulbs??

They will nearly blind you for a few seconds.

I dont blame him for flinching -- many of those girls are too.

This photo which seemed to be new for most people seeing it showed up on Brian's Facebook yesterday, showing him with a group of Girl Scouts holding copies of "The Little Girl I Once Knew" 45rpm single:

The Badman book, which is the only one I've had a chance to reference so far, lists a date of January 3, 1966 for a special presentation held at Capitol Records in LA where Voyle Gilmore recognized them for all of their gold-selling albums up to that point. This photo and caption is from a later issue of Billboard magazine:



This is a photo from Getty showing an unidentified younger man interviewing the band at this event:



And these are more images taken from Getty showing the same gold record event at Capitol:






Notice Brian's clothes and hair are exactly the same in the Girl Scout photo as in the photos of the actual event and press conference, and the photos also show them wearing coats and winter clothes which would line up with a January 1966 date...perhaps.

But looking at all these photos together, I believe the Girl Scout photo was indeed taken at Capitol studios either before or after the actual presentation and press event with Voyle Gilmore, and it would make sense to have a series of photo-ops and media events scheduled at the Capitol tower that same day when everyone was there. In January 1966, the "Little Girl..." single was still, I believe, the current Beach Boys single in the stores, though it was released earlier in November.

The Capitol studio location...I'm pretty confident that's where it was shot, but am not 100% sure.

The Badman book's date of Jan 3, 1966...can anyone prove or disprove that date of the Voyle Gilmore press event?

While researching something else, I found a variation of the presentation photo in the December 29, 1965 issue of KFWB Hitline.

This is GOOD!  The "unidentified young man" is now ID'd! 
and I love how above the Beach Boys pic there's a separate article which talks about "the Pied Piper"; this probably came back to Brian some years later in a dream...

Just doing a search on Ron Tepper. Trivia time. Turns out he wrote the recall letter for the Beatles 'Butcher Cover' in 1966.

So once again Badman is proven wrong. I only hope his books on other bands are considerably more accurate than the Diary.

OK, so "B-f-A" not released yet, so prior to 12/20... "TLGIOK" moving up the charts means... meh, any time in December. Phooey. Although, "rapidly" would indicate the early weeks of charting, so between 11/27 and 12/11. That's my two cents.

This is a great update to the saga of those photos! Very cool to get the new info, thank you.

We have a two-week span between 11/27 and 12/11 that the event and photos could have taken place - it's amazing to not have a firm date anywhere in the news or various literature of the day, even a dated caption with the photo or something would have helped!

 Maybe we can get Brian to post the back of the photo on facebook too - thats where all the dates, etc is.

Brian didn't wear a vest in the Sloop promo, and his shirt was of a darker shade.

Incidentally, the clip was filmed at Carl Wilson's Coldwater Canyon house, as reported in the August 1966 issue of Tiger Beat.
