Both Brian and Dennis are there, Dennis didn't play drums on all the songs, he's on Good Timin' here and on piano for Help Me Rhonda.

That's what it said on the credits, I taped it off HBO in 1981.

[massF1]

I probably do have that clip, I taped everything they were on when Brian was back on board.

Hi, Thanks for these Awesome Clips. Do you have a beach boys performance from 1981 on a cheerleaders competition in which they performed Be True to your school? it was outdoors on a beach in florida i believe. Would love to see it if ya do. Thanks, sharon & eric

@ericp22 I can't say for sure, but I think I do have that somewhere among my hundreds of old VHS tapes I used to throw in whenever something I'd only see once was on.

@BeachBoysGuy1 Care to elaborate; Bruce sad existance?

[weasleychick]

@gladimmeandnotyou That's Bobby Figueroa, who played with them for years. Bobby came in because Dennis injured his hand years before and liked to come up front during the shows at times. Bobby still plays with Al Jardine

@GREGMCKEE Saddest is the existence on johnston on the stage playing his toy piano

[thedyemaster]

this was the first concert I was ever at. I was 14 and my parents took me. , I remember it still. I am 45 now and I have been going to shows ever sence. thanks mom and dad.

I remember seeing this on HBO and I love the Beach Boys, but...this is such a screwed up time for them...Brian was rough, Dennis was 2 years away from death..Carl was trying to keep the band together...the band seemed to be going through the motions amid the chaos...I mean look at poor Dennis standing on the piano! I understand they would often have to mute out the microphones as Brian and Dennis would sing some strange things. Good concert but sad circumstances...

[HarveyBacktheBeatles]

good thing dennis kept sober for the performance

[26bassdrum]
