Fascinating - and truly rare - footage, just a shame the audio track is so out of synch. Stick with it to the end for a nice surprise.

I don't think I've heard Bruce's voice as clear in group harmony as in this video. I take it this was not circulating before it showed up on YouTube? The quality is incredible.

Excellent. God Only Knows and the final song both sound stunning. The latter deserves an official release.

Wow, what a great start to my day. Especially the surprise at the end, just beautiful. Did you notice Bruce imitating the flute part in God Only Knows on organ? Extra musicians: Ron Brown and ...?

Thanks! Awesome! Excellent! Fitting for both the season and Carl's birthday! Who knew they could sing in Latin?  (Venite Adoremus...) |

If you want to see something hilarious, Brando does a "performance" during this show where he's playing guitar and wearing "clam digger" pants and doing that south sea island flapping knees dance while his then wife Tarita dances in traditional Tahitian grass skirt. I've only seen this on a documentary- can't find it on the web.

Extra musicians: Ron Brown and ...? Joe Sample, of The Crusaders. The only time he ever played with the Boys. |

It's remarkable how close "Barbara Ann" sounds to the Live in London version.  Love that a capella Christmas carol! |

Shoulda gone to AGD's indispensable site first, rather than asking about the date here! Thanks for the reminder and the quick link. |

Great video, indeed. Nice to see the late 1967 Beach Boys in action. Dig Michael on the theremin and Carl in general.

Great find!!! Im still trying to figure out who is singing the falsetto.
Its not Brian is it? It sounds like Brian.
I dont see him but then the rest of the guys seems to be singing Ba Ba Barbara Ann at the same time.
Usually Bruce would sing Brian's falsetto but he is clearly singing with the rest of the guys.
Any thoughts?
