Thanks guys didn't know about a lot of these, especially the Elvis one.
This isn't one that he went to but more recently Brian mentioned he had the chance to see the Doors years ago but didn't end up going and later regretted it.

All of the BBs have probably collectively gone to hundreds of shows over the years, especially in cases where members (Brian, Al) spent extended periods of time not on the road.

Even when they *are* on tour, they still go to shows. I think there was a pic of Mike and Foskett (Mike's new "attached at the hip" guy) last year in the audience at a Monkees show.

I read that Brian was in the audience for their 1997 reunion concert filmed for "The Dance" DVD.

Don't think this one counts as much but Carl used to sit in rehearsals for Billy Joel's band when they toured together

As I recall, I remember reading somewhere that, right after Carl passed, billy joel dedicated Only The Good Die Young to Carl at one of his concerts. I believe he said that, even though he was a struggling no name when he opened for the Boys in the 70's, Carl treated him great,  like he was a tour veteran.

According to Tony Iommi in his book Iron Man/My Journey Through Heaven And Hell With Black Sabbath...on page 103....

The Beach Boys came to see us one night and I didn't know what they looked like. I was coming out of the dressing room and somebody walked up to me and said: 'Can I come in and see the rest of the guys?' 'No, no, there's nobody allowed in the dressing room.' It was a little embarrassing afterwards, when I found out he was a Beach Boy.

Just looked up and found this on mojo :

There’s the time the group threw the Beach Boys’ Al Jardine out of their dressing room in LA (“We all hated The Beach Boys,” says Butler).

This is probably the incident.

I guess you have to question how much their other stories are embellished if not letting someone into the dressing room somehow morphed into throwing someone out of the dressing room, and not knowing what they looked like turned into "hating" them.

If you watch here and now you'll see a member of Billy's band talk about their time together as well

Assuming this is Richie Cannata, it's worth noting of course that he's in that film because of his years spent touring in the Beach Boys' backing band (1992-ish to 1998-ish if I'm recalling correctly).

I haven't much heard Billy Joel talk about Carl or the BBs, beyond mentioning he had opened for them.

I do recall Mike (I believe it was Mike) complaining that Billy Joel turned down their invitation to appear on the 25th Anniversary TV special, as if he was too big of a star and didn't want to honor where he had started out, etc.

Carl was with Dennis at the Queen concert. I believe it was in Mike's book. Dennis was drunk and the members of Queen didn't want to meet him. I think it was 75 or 77.

Taylor Hawkins in Ken Sharp's new Dennis/POB book (page 286)
" Roger Taylor from Queen...told me a great story. He was coming off stage at the Forum in L.A after a Queen show in1977 and this homeless-looking guy jumped all over him. Security grabbed him and he realised it's f***in' Dennis. He had the big beard and was probably wearing flip-flops. Just classic Dennis. Roger said they sat around and had a couple of drinks and spoke for 30 - 45 minutes and said he was lovely. He said he was so complimentary of the show and loved Queen and loved their harmonies. He said he was so sweet to him".

Not music but volume one of Michael Palin's diaries mentions Mike, Al & Dennis being around before & after Monty Python's performance at The Open-air Pop Festival, Bardney, near Lincolnn England (looks like's it was The Great Western Express festival Bardney . Lincolnshire. May 26th-29th 1972
http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/gwrecollections.html - eta: The Beach Boys were the next performers.)
Mike & Al were the co-organisers caravan where the Python's were meant to be having a drink & last-minute rehearsal.
"Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys came up to me and shook my hand and congratulated me, when only seven years ago I was packed in the Odean Hammersmith trying to catch a glimpse of him."

Richie was still touring with Al's band last I heard (I saw him with Al in 2010). Right after Carl passed away, I'd read that Billy Joel and his band dedicated "Only The Good Die Young" to him at a show.

Al hasn't done very many of his own gigs in the last several years, playing with Brian or as an "add on" to "Surf City All Stars" gigs. But he did a few of his own gigs in 2014 and indeed Richie Cannata is there:

IIRC the Keith Badman book mentions that Al and Brian attended a show by the Kingston Trio and were introduced to big applause. But regarding the source I'm not sure if this is factual.

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.
