Similarly, Blondie supposedly popped up at show a few times in the 80s and/or 90s, and I'm not sure any post-1973 pics exist of Carl and Blondie.
Yeah, I think Blondie joined them in '95 or '96. Also during the 2012 the Boys and Blondie played the same city on the same day or one day apart and I had hoped he would show up at their concert, but he didn't.
Also there isn’t sadly the same demand as there is for ALL things Beatles. Hence things that may exist remain in a box. I have noticed it with photos-i have never found a photo of the proto-BBs before Dave but I guarantee they existed. So much value attached to the Beatles-that such artifacts are found and treated reverentially-not so the poor old bbs
Yes, every now and then some new pictures of the wild days turn up. But it really doesn't get much attention compared to the Beatles or Elvis. I can understand that in some way, but considering that the Beach Boys are often seen as the biggest american band, they are frightingly un-relevant (which imo has to do with how the band sold themselfes over the last decades, but that is another topic) in the public's eye.
Just to be clear, my question regarding keeping radio broadcasts in their archives was of course about later shows, when their show where regularly broadcasted.
