Being honest about the fact that the Beach Boys were not a great live band does not make us unloyal fans. why could'nt the Beach Boys perform better live? That is the ral question.
It's not a FACT that the Beach Boys were or were not a great live band. That is an OPINION only.
OK, rant over.
I just double checked my sources, it's factual that they were indeeed a great live band much of the time.
