Hi
Sorry, if this have been discussed a few times before - I need to know: since Elton released a full live-cd from this great event in 1975, isn't it most likely that a tape of that same quality exists of The Beach Boys part of show, somewhere in the vaults - anyone knows? Thx!

That's one hell of a set for 1975.

I wonder if they taped the show? And if it's been booted, or if BB Inc. is considering putting that sort of stuff out, either on CD or as downloads on the official BB site?

I feel like I heard/read somewhere that they were in fact considering that sort of thing. But maybe I dreamed it.

There's an audience recording...pretty lo-fi.  A better one from that era (quality-wise) is MSG.
Wembley's setilist was better, though.

That is an awesome photo of Carl! Very soulful expression. The other ones are good, too.

This might sound crazy, but I don't believe I've ever seen a picture of James William Guercio.  I was thinking about that the other day while I was reading "Catch A Wave"...I knew that he was part of the touring band around this time, but I just had never seen a picture of him!

Sunburst Les Paul?  What a beaut that guitar is.

Regarding Guercio...I first saw his pic, in fact a pic from the Wembley concet no less, in the 1976 edition of  "Rock Encyclopedia".  He had his own entry.  Also, if you've ever seen the video of Chicago and the Beach Boys doing "Wishing You Were Here" from the Dick Clark New Years Eve special, Jimmy is playing acoustic guitar alongside Peter Cetera.  More recently, there's interview footage with him in the VH1 "Behind The Music" on Chicago.  The footage is recent. 

Regarding Al's sunburst Les Paul...isn't he playing it in the stills from the '73 "In Concert" album?

Craig,
  I think that's a Les Paul Junior or a Special inside the "In Concert 73" album.

Carl had some great guitars. What's that one Domenic liked that he was using in 62-3?

Was it the Fender Jaguar at that time? I think so...

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.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


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.

You are right. I think he said the Surfin USA LP kicks so hard because of that guitar.

Getting back to the Les Paul Al is pictured with above...I think he's holding the same Les Paul on the back of the booklet in the new Hallmark CD "Songs From Here And Back".  That shot is from '74, I believe.
