You may notice a differing line-up here--look closely & you'll see Chris Farmer on Bass & Tim Bonhomme/ John Cowsill on keyboards. This was the '96 line up change, & little did we know then, what was to come with The Beach Boys, & the glue who held them together, Carl Wilson. It still makes me incredibly sad. Wolfsky9
Sir, No I did not know Carl personally--he was & had always been my favorite BB, from the 1st time I saw them, 8/10/1964, to my final BB concert, 10/6/97, when he wasn't there, the show was flat, & all everyone talked about was Carl, & --would we ever see him ?? David Marks & Phil Bardowell were there in Carl's place, but it made little difference--the group did NOT do " GOK" , & John Cowsill sang Darlin, Bruce did " GV's " . Carl's total class gave The BB's total class. Wolfsky9
@Wolfsky9 True words you say there... I only discovered the BBs by the late 90s when Carl was already gone, but he always has made the biggest impression on me as a singer and stage personality. So the more and more I found out the more respect I gained for him, and it's really a shame that I never got the chance to see them live (although I can listen to the Lorelei show from 1993, which was the closest to my hometown). It must have been great to follow the group through all the years since 64!
Sir, when was this concert ? Before or after Harbor Lights, 8/23/96 ?? Thank-you so much for this--one last time, healthy Carl singing his masterpwrk. I miss him more as the years go by. Wolfsky9

@Wolfsky9 I can't tell you exactly but I guess it must have been mid-late 96. Did you know Carl personally?
