I've noticed some people on Youtube like to criticize Mike Love, but he seems to have been a stable/sober anchor that held the group together throughout the '70's and '80's.
Yes I remember hearing a recording of him singing God only Knows on this tour (poss this gig)...man it was awful! He must've been really suffering personally at this time!
Carl held out for a very long time as far as being intoxicated on stage goes. His brothers did it LONG before he ever did. Not to say it's alright. He was always the consumate performer and stage presence. Just as the other brothers, he also had lots of problems off stage....wife problems, brother problems, kids, etc..... Don't know how he held up sometimes.
Never saw Carl like that either but in a way it was funny. Still love him and I think once in a while everyone deserves to get a little hammered albeit probably not wise if you have to perform.
I don't care what the circumstances, it was very disrespectful to the people who worked hard at their jobs to buy tickets to see the Boys do THEIR job sober. This show and the 1981 Long Beach show (no Carl in the group at the time) are about the worst in their history.
Was Carl drinking and taking drugs because his marriage was on the rocks or was his marriage in trouble because of his drinking and being on drugs? Can anyone help me with this? He was/is such a cutie!

Moral of this clip: Never bow to your audience when you're half shot. If you're gonna pull it off you must remain vertical. ;o)
