  • Help Me Rhonda performed live on The Andy Williams Show - October 22, 1965
    I initially uploaded this a few months back, albeit shorter and with a watermarked video source. I decided to upload this again, this time featuring my own edit of a new unwatermarked source and the inclusion of the intro, which contains a short run-through of California Girls and Andy Williams' introduction.

    These kids played and sang their asses off. There aren’t a whole lot of bands even today singing crazy complex four part harmonies while playing instruments. And there’s zero chance they could hear themselves because this was before stage monitors existed. Just mind boggling the talent of musicians in the 60’s.

      Al didn’t play on the first four albums (Surfin’ Safari-Little Deuce Coupe). He did play on their first single, “Surfin’”. He was in the original 1961 lineup, but he left for dental school at the end of the year. That’s when, right before they were signed to Capitol, they replaced him with Carl’s friend from across the street. Marks played the first four albums (Surfin’ Safari, Surfin’ USA, Surfer Girl, and Little Deuce Coupe). Marks appears in the most famous photos of the band. Marks got into a fight with Murray at the end of ‘63, they got Jardine back, and the rest is history.

    Terrific lead vocal by Al, and a great bass part by Mike(bow, bow, bow).

    Love seeing chunky Carl in these early pics/videos. Little feller could barely get his britches on. But, boy, could that little bowling ball sang.

    Well I'll be danged! I didn't know Al Jardine sang lead on this song. Learn something new every day. Great song. The short lead part was left out of this performance. But then maybe it was the wrecking crew that did it on the record.
