As a long time member of this board, I cannot recall seeing a dedicated thread discussing the 1973 In Concert album.  I grew up with this album as a kid, and it still holds up after all these [40+] years.  The band sounds loose and contemporary for the time, and the arrangements are great.  I would love to know more about this album from what shows were recorded during that tour, what were some of the tracks left off as well as any other interesting facts.  Is there an appreciation thread for this album that you can point me to?  Thanks!

I don't know the answer to this but I would love to know more too. It's an amazing album - the band sounds so good and it's a great mix of deep cuts and hits. I know the CD version's liner notes say the rough time period during which it was recorded, but I don't think it has the locations.

Alan Boyd posted a lot of information about which shows were recorded iirc. But I couldn't find the thread unfortunately.
Maybe this is a start:

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.

That is such a great album. They rocked really hard, but also played the ballads with great sensitivity. I love You Still Believe In Me, Caroline No, Funky Pretty, Surfin USA, Heroes And Villains and Don't Worry Baby. The only downside is I don't like the arrangement of Help Me Rhonda. I'd take the classic hit arrangement over the bluesy version any day.

Speaking of the ballads here - don't forget "Let The Wind Blow"!  Smiley Incredible performance of a terrific song.

Craig, would it be correct to assume that the recordings of the entire concerts from which the BBs in Concert tracks were taken (and perhaps more concert dates from that era as well) still exist in the vaults?

To date, its my favorite Beach Boys related live album.

I happened to attend  a number of the shows that the recordings came from( dumb luck) . It was a great time to be a Beach Boy fan. From 1971 through 1976, each year just seemed to get better and better.

Yes! Spectacularly gorgeous version. The guitar solo is so good.

An outstanding album.  Stands up even now.  Their best live collection.  One of the best by anybody...all time.   4 discs would have been even better than the 2 we did get.  I agree with Gerry.  '71 to '75 was the BEST era for the LIVE Boys.  '63 to '73 for the recorded Boys.  AND...it's oh-so easy to compare and hear it all.

Psyched that I started this thread!  The Ricky and Blondie live-era stuff is my favorite.  The release of Sunshine Tomorrow got me thinking whether they ever played I Was Made to Love Her live when Ricky and Blondie were in the band?  I would love to hear that. 

I also love what they did with Help Me Rhonda during this era, every fun and funky.  I agree that In Concert would be great as a 4 disc set!

Beautiful album! My only complaint is that it could've used a little more Dennis. Since We Got Love made the cut being a song not released on any of their studio albums, it would've been nice if they had included something like I've Got a Friend which I understand was performed a couple of times during that time frame. But we can't change history and the record is still brilliant the way it is. As a side note, I love all the pictures of the band on the back cover and in the gatefold sleeve. The vinyl engraving with the little dedication to Brian is very sweet and quite touching.

The best sounding BB live album for me, especially Ricky's drum sound. Carl at his best singing the chorus to 'Don't Worry Baby' a special highlight to my ears.

I received this album via USPS Special Delivery at 7PM on New Year's Eve(1973) from a friend. Totally out of the blue. I've never recovered from the incredible impact this stamped on my soul.

The Sloop bass line is one of my all time favorites.

According to someone who would know.

Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?!  Amazing.

I got kicked out of my apartment after playing MARCELLA at a way loud level. Probably deserved it. Was worth it. Got back in soon thereafter. Again, New Year's Eve 1973.

HI again - I was listening to In Concert again last night and it got me thinking whether there is any live version from this era of Do It Again?  If so, I would love to hear it!

One of the greatest live albums of all time, and easily their best one! I wore this out on Vinyl for years, and still play if often on CD. Like others, I use to crank it!
