A tale of two acts. One with contemporary, sophisticated arrangements coupled with inspired, intimate performances and the other nothing more than nostalgic pep-rally dribble which is what the masses are most familiar with. Too long has little attention been paid to the Beach Boys live sets from the early 70's. Columnated Ruins Dominoe..
The Late-Great Carl Wilson was the only one who do justice--real justice to this masterwork. I heard him do this in Sept. '71, at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, & it was spellbinding. The Best years, hands-down, of The Beach Boys, the Early 70's. Those years, & The 90's with Matt Jardine, are, IMHO, The Best Ever of the group, & Carl was the Leader, unquestioned. Wolfsky9
@Wolfsky9 You are completely right about the early 70s years as the best for the Beach Boys. They were incredible live and they became like a popular underground band that was enjoyed by college students and had finally gained respect from the critics. Yet their mass popularity was still under the radar until the compilation album endless summer of 1974 basically threw them into a nostalgia act unfortunately. But they really were incredible from about 67-73
I like the drums on the end coda, it sounds like one of the Smile session outtakes for 'Child Is Father of The Man'. I wonder what the audience made of this one, they seemed to appreciate it.

I'm in awe of the audience's respect. No foolish cat calls during the quiet segment.

Only the great Brian Wilson could have written such an ineffable and beautiful a composition as this. Pure genius.

Wow, the balance is a little uneven but this is fantastic live Beach Boys in a great era for them.
