The Beach Boys - Live on Ready Steady Go! 1964

The Beach Boys' first UK TV appearance, November 6, 1964.

Following afternoon rehearsals, their performance of 'I Get Around' and 'When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)' - complete with false start - is transmitted live this evening. The show's co-host Keith Fordyce asks Mike about surfing and Brian about his thoughts on Britain, but questions and replies are drowned out by hysterical screams from the studio audience. This performance becomes the first chance that TV viewers in the UK have to see the group in action. Brian tells Earl Leaf: "Ready Steady Go! was a blast! But they pulled Mike into the crowd off camera, which was kind of stupid."

anyone read how that No Talent Punk Mike Love, just fired Brian,Al and David from their 50th anniversary Tour ? Please do NOT buy tickets to this fiasco and send Love a message ! No Brian or Al = No Beach Boys !!!! Brian wrote nearly all of their music, including their best record: Pet Sounds. Mike has always been an a-hole.Listen to his idiotic Hall of Fame acceptance speech in '88.He actually put down the FAB4 and the Stones !

I love how Mike goes "What do you mean? Surfing is a sport." like he's just been asked the weirdest question.

Shows how much you know you stupid fuck

David didn't quit, Brian occasionally appeared after '64, and Brian is certainly not brain dead. Could a brain dead child make 12 songs, write all the parts, per-fect them, and pro-dice them?

I don't think so

Long live Brian Wilson! Did Mike Love ever look younger than 40?
