striped shirts still in 65'

[metal flake paint]

The Beach Boys occasionally wore a thinner striped shirt in early '64 but the classic Kingston Trio type striped shirts  as seen on the cover of the Beach Boys Concert LP didn't appear until  summer '64, and they wore both blue and red variations of the striped shirt including a wider striped version, until fall '67 when they switched to the white suits.

They also had a yellow striped shirt, there's a small picture in the Greatest Single Ever edition of Mojo (1997?) - looks like they were on a TV show.

That picture in Mojo shows them wearing just plain yellow shirts, without stripes.

Page 62 of John Milward's Silver Anniversary book shows the group wearing pink striped shirts, another variant perhaps?

That's the picture I was thinking of. Red/pink stripes.

Oh yeah...there's tons of evidence of them wearing solid white and solid yellow shirts in the '62 to '65 period. Contrary to what most believe, they mixed up their apparel choices throughout their "uniform" days.

I wasn't far off then! I haven't seen that picture in years but I knew it featured yellow which I haven't seen anywhere else? Do we know what show that was from?

Nope, but the photographer Julian Wasser might.

Do any of you have the Beach Boys In Concert book? Because in it there are plenty of photos of the boys in all stages of concert gear, pendelton, solid white, solid yellow, yellow sweatshirts, thin striped, medium striped, wide striped, blue striped, red striped, white suits and on and on with dates and venues etc... It's not a mystery.

I was just about to mention that.


(Their brilliant book is not only worthwhile to people interested in the band's stage outfits, though.^^)

Can you give me his email/phone so I can contact him, please?

How about Carl pre-gaming the show with his KISN "Good Guys" radio station shirt (and prototype Fender Electric XII) ?

 

Just my two cents: The BB's stage look may have been about 2 years late, meaning had they changed to the tailored yet casual suit look sometime in '65 they may have been more in tune with their peers in the rock band business. Yet, take a look at the 1965 Jack Benny/Bob Hope television appearance, and it's a pretty casual thing happening there.

And those photo slides on Ebay...take note that Brian is wearing that same windbreaker type of jacket as he's wearing in the famous Pet Sounds studio session photos...can anyone ID what brand or design of jacket that is? It has a firebird logo on the pockets if that helps.

The photo above is from the 1/27/65 show in Portland. That photo and two more of the concert performance are in the Beach Boys In Concert book showing the whole band (including Brian subbing for Glen Campbell) wearing the yellow KISN garb during their set that night.

I have the book, been reading it for a couple weeks now, am up to 1973, and so far, this is the best BB's book I've read in years....or ever. Striped shirts in 65? IMHO, not a problem. Look at what other bands were wearing; the Beach Boys did not stand out like a sore thumb. Striped shirts in 67? That's another story
