Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

There comes a moment in every person's musical maturity where they start to realize how hard the Beach Boys slap
Based 💪🏻
No doubt - they had some bangers!
That is so true
They were far away from being an US reply to the Beatles. No way
@@lorenzomoro1313 Paul McCartney himself said back in the day, after listening to surfin usa : "how are we supposed to compete with this?"
Just imagine. If even ONE person in The USA had decided not to go surfin' at the time it was written, we'd never have had this excellent song.
If there had been no Chuck Berry to plagiarize, more to the point
@@leonidlerner1381 didn't chuck berry plagiarize too
@@leonidlerner1381 all of chuck berry's songs sound the same for the most part
@@leonidlerner1381 This has already been handled in court. Go do something else with your sour grapes.
@@leonidlerner1381 it wasn't plagiarised it was credited meaning the beach boys acknowledged that chuck berry wrote it
So sad that Denny was gone before this... I'm sure it would've been so awesome if he was able to have been there.
Towards the end of his life Dennis was a liability to the band. His drinking & drugging destroyed him. He started an affair with a teen niece of Mike Love prompting the band to withhold royalties in an attempt to force him to get help. I saw a 1981 show where he was sadly drunk & throwing bottles of beer into the audience. He thought he was entertaining but it was awful.
@@edstein5642 teen niece? I thought she was a bastard child of his?
If you wanna hear actual good live dennis listen to beach boys live at knebworth 1980. After that he started to trail off
@@yourmother3207 yes, that's a brilliant concert overall and Dennis gives it his all. i watched it recently in full for the first time, i don't know why i waited so long....
@@edstein5642 Carl was planning a last ditch intervention for him after he got back to California from his vacation cabin in Colorado that he was spending the holidays at. Dennis died before he could. No guarantee it would've worked but Carl spent a long time beating himself up over it.
What's crazy about the Beach Boys is, when you look up performances from them. They always sound like it's a recording, it's insane.
Brian Wilson drilled them to perfection (which we all appreciate)!
In fact, someone posted that a video from their 2012 50th reunion was lip synced. Very uninformed.
like The Beatles
@@TheLalalandloser Carl was more important to their live sound than Brian, who wasn't even at most live shows
@@paul4god310got the link? .. I’m scrolling thru comments and can’t find a comment with the link to it anywhere
The magic of the Beach Boys makes everyone young and 18 again! Just what the young people of this Nation the U.S. A. need today and hope to rejuvenate our American Summer Spirit , surfing, pretty girls on the beach, cool cars, good hamburger stands, lemonade or root beer floats, Coca Cola, hot dogs, cotton candy and great music to dance to. Fun, fun, fun etc. swimming and sunbathing.
Oh Carl love him and that beautiful voice
Love my Beach Boys again and we all need this band in our lives right now!
I love The Beach Boys so much and their music always.
Love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys
Very good
This was my first time seeing a live aid video and hearing most of my fav artists live. Great concert this was!
I love Carl's elegant presence is the best.
It’s weird to remember that at this time, The Beach Boys were only like 18 years past their prime, probably seen as a washed up bunch of has-beens.
The band is so canonized now, and they’re practically treated like ancient music that’s been passed down through the ages. Not that I don’t love them, it’s just strange to think about a time when they weren’t this classic shining thing on a pedestal.
I thought about this, they're over 50 years old now it's weird to think about
My grandpa briefly introduced me into the beach boys, after he died i was fully introduced by him from beyond the grave via dvd
Boss Nass it is hard to imagine a time where these guys aren’t treated like gods.
Only 3 years later they had there first number 1 hit for 22 years with Kokomo in an odd turn of events.
Bro, just listen to God Only Knows and you'll fully understand why Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys were canonized.
Imagine if that happens to legends what will be the future of today's SHITTY singers lmao
Amazing Line Up... miss a lot Dennis
Love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys yet again
Once again I love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys and thank god I am still a big fan
It must have been so much fun in those days!!! Concerts and socializing!!! wow!!! Humans!!!
And no mobile phones to stare at
It was great!
35 years ago, seems like yesterday, love their music.
What a GREAT day so glad I attended with my girlfriend who would become my wife. I remember getting there at dawn and walking through the park to JFK Stadium and this guy was playing guitar on a bench as we walked by on our way in. Then Joan Baez introduces him and he opens Live Aid to a crowd of over 100 thousand so clear a memory like it was yesterday we were all saying at the time that it was so cool to have seen him earlier that day. Live Aid was a seminal moment in music history and we were there!!!
By my reckoning this was about 20 years after this song came out…and it’s now almost 40 years since this performance.
I'm on Maui right now listening to these musical titans. What better place than in the islands where surfing began?
Junio 2022 Escuchando y deleitándome en Chile 🇨🇱 con está hermosa música de The Beach Boys, un regaló a la humanidad que traspasa fronteras y generaciones 😀👏👏👏👏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🍷👈
So agree, just heard it played on atp tennis on prime, just had to listen again 👌
esta mejor el smile pues, te gusta lo pubico?
although time so much passed, they are forever "BOYS"
the voice lead vocalist was stucked in his prime days.. cant believe that performance was live. amazing!
High energy stuff.
Carl calls 'Mikey go!' for Mike Meros to launch into his keyboard solo. Cameraman crosses to the drummer (Mike Kowalski by the looks of it), missing the solo.
Then its Carls turn to rock his guitar solo. Cameraman crosses to Mike Meros on keyboards missing Carls solo.
Awesome.
How?
@@GraeVTrain How what?
3 Mikes lol. Love on vocals, Meros on organ, and Kowalski on drums!
I feel a 3 Mikes Tour coming on. Lol.
The drummer is Bobby Figueroa.
Surfing U S A and all of the California Surf Beaches and Waimea Bay Hawaii 's Surf Beach mentioned by the Beach Boys totally awesome and timeless song . Beach Boys Forever! America's Band!
I grew up listening to the Beach Boys
2024 put your hands up!!
Love this classic song sung by The Beach Yet again
Beach Boys probably the best band that played at Live Aid. They could have done a Hour set Standing on their Heads.
Queen we’re best on the day. That’s not up for discussion.
At Live 8 in 25 there were a lot of much better performances. Pink Floyd of course, but I thought Robbie Williams took the cake that day.
Best band? There were literally 5/6 better
@@JKentF wrong. David Bowie was better than Queen. Ask any of the 72,000 at Wembly.
Sir, I agree, 1000% ! They WERE best !
Brilliant FUN!!!!!!!!
best song ever
My favourite band!
me lembro deste evento na época...1985 Live Aid ...coisa linda, verdadeiro Rock raiz! 🙆♀️🎸🎤🎹🎶
Magnificent!
Mike Loves hat is glued to his head.
THE TRUE FABRIC OF AMERICA.......THE REAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SOUND AND CULTURE.......EVERY CONCERT SOLD OUT...."SURFS UP"...THANK YOU BRIAN WILSON.....
Fantastic musicians, fantastic songs - stage presence really academic :)
I think I might know what you mean but could elaborate on what you mean by academic in this context?
honestly from the look of most of them you´d totally think "has beens" but their performances were a whole other thing.
I love it
Is it just me or does this some awesome?
Carl Wilson...even then looked po’d at Love...if Brian was the heart of the BB’s, then Carl was the soul.
Love my beach boys again and again
And again and again, and then again under a slightly different name, and a few more times....
LOVE IT
*Normal person* : "Queen made history in Live Aid"
*The Beach Boys* : hold ours surfboards
Mike Love > Freddie Mercury
@@gav8558 Yes man 😎
Bruce Johntson > Mike Love
Brian wilson>the rest of the band
Sorry but Freddie stole the show.
Mike Love’s dancing has never once amused me
J'adore !! que de souvenirs de ma jeunesse
Eu também gosto muito
I love the fun and bright clothes that they wore during this era. They should loose the dark/black look that they have now.
Hendrix Wilson Why don’t you tell them that at the next family reunion? 😂
Jabez Gill That's not nice ........
Personally I could do without Mike Love’s yellow shirt/ flat cap combo.
dark/black look :O that's racist maaaaaaan but idd we need to do that
Since when was dark black loose clothes not something people wore every era ??
Wow!2023 and still amaze at how the beach boys still gives me the chill .
No song better encapsulates the joy of volleyball than this
Que bárbaro, el talento que es, y será sobre generaciones completas.
êxtase de alegrias através da música, lado bom prazeroso, maravilhoso da tecnologia reviver musicais que marcaram época
If I died while surfing this would be the song for my funeral ⚰️
If they don’t play it...don’t show up 😂
@@inaminuteanimations8430 shup up!
Once again I love this classic song sung by The Beach Boys and thank god I am alive and swinging and disco has left the building and it’s now dead
Love this song. Music from the 60s is great. Much better than the mess they produce today. Richard in Dallas
When i was in year 3 we had to do a performance to this song, i actually liked the song but i never came across it again, every now and then i would sing the parts i would remember but then when i found the beatles i got recommended beach boys videos and then i finally found it!
The same thing basically happened to me, this song never left my memory since then so it's nice to know what that song was
CARL DEAN WILSON 💕
Wearing a suit! In the heat. What a guy!
I know! A class act. 😎
Best singer in the Beach Boys.
I am a metal head but god dam love them beach boys👹
Wow..!! The piano hit the whole stage..that was awesome ❤❤👍
But... Who was really playing keyboards? Do you think Bruce or Brian?
Mike Love has all the charm and musical talent of a used car salesman.
And it has made him filthy rich. What's the matter? Jealous?
He was not well-liked in the group. Acting like a showoff. They group all knew who their leader was. He was also the songwriter of the group. Mike could not play an instrument.
@@StvMcQueen1Jimbob, grow up kid. This is an open forum where everyone can give their opinion. Mike was also known as the showoff of the group was not well-liked.
real beach boys fans dont talk trash on mike love and accept the fact that he contributed just as much as the rest of the beach boys
@@Roorb oh yeah right
Every concert new beach boys will the real beach boys stand up
They sounded and looked alot better than Zeppelin did at live aid, this is pretty good. Zeppelins set at at live aid is really hard to watch
You just don't compare The Beach Boys with Led Zeppelin don't ya?...
Man, I wasn’t even born in whatever year this was , but man I absolutely love The Beach Boys. I’m 16 and I know where good music comes from they were original and genius, now everybody copies them
Brian*
I'm glad you have discovered what alot of us have know for years kick back and enjoy what alot of us have know for years a true American Treasure 🤗
This was 1985, twenty years after their first heyday. You should check out their 1965 performance on the T.A.M.I. Show dvd if you want to see them really kick the doors down.
No one cares how old you are, and you don't know what "good music" is. No one knows.
I was a kid going to Kindergarten in 1985. That song is better than Taylor swift’s music, Ariana grande’s music, Olivia rodrigo’s music and most of today’s new music.
Dennis would've LOVED Live Aid!
Living Legends!!!
Good Vibrations was the only Beach Boys song in their Live Aid set that went to #1. Surfin’ USA was a hit, but only #3 on the US Billboard, #34 in the UK. Both great songs
The guy on keyboards is wearing a very similar Argentina team Jersey from the 70's
I DGAF what music you’re into, this just makes ya feel good, and it should.
Aloha peeps all over the world.
What’s cool is all the stage hands and other performers singing along backstage when they show the side shot.
The remaining Beach Boys that are still alive came to my county fair a little while back. They were my favorite band at the time and it was a truly amazing moment
They played the Texas State Fair a couple years back. They sounded good, but the atmosphere was flat and the magic just wasn’t there.
No me canso de ver y escuchar está tremenda interpretación llena de ritmo, vigor y alegría, gracias chicos de la bahía, por esta interpretación llena de vitalidad

@@juancc7480 SOUTH AMERICAN SURE
AMERICA'S BAND ! -------------RIP, Carl Wilson & Dennis Wilson.
Fantastic snap shot in histor.
Nice!
You know the Beach Boys are good when you can overcome that ego and still appreciate them
A lot of the guitar licks you hear on the original Beach Boys records is none other than Glen Campbell playing.
Wrong. It’s Carl.
Not quite. Glen Campbell served a four month stint in late 1964 replacing Brian on BASS, and only for live performances. Then Bruce Johnston took over in early 1965. In fairness, Glen did play with the Wrecking Crew on 12-string guitar in later recording sessions with the Beach Boys, but he rarely played lead guitar.
You people are idiots! It is well documented that Glen Campbell did tons of studio work and was on many of the Beach Boys records. Look it up!
Beach Boys 4-Ever !! RIP, Carl Wilson. ------------------MJL, 75 y/o
I'm going through guitar rock and roll history right now, starting with Bill Haley and His Comets, to Elvis, to The Beatles, to Dick Dale and The Beach Boys, to the Rolling Stones, to The Who, to The Kinks and The Yardbirds, to Led Zeppelin, to Jimi Hendrix, to Robert Smith and the Cure, to Johnny Marr, to Kurt Cobain.
I'll post a link to the playlist:
At least, that's the road map. Jumping in from mostly 90's stuff
Siddthekid don’t forget the velvet underground
And 13th floor elevators. And frank zappa. And pink floyd.
Sounds awesome!
Check out Bruce Springsteen at some point!
Don't forget Queen
Bobby Figueroa on drums nails it! 😎
Beach Boys is my favorite band
Countless number of hit records and one of the all time great songwriters in Brian Wilson you would think they would have sold more records than they did
but they aren't even in the Top 200 best selling artists of all time.
Super the best the Beach Boys
Post-Brian Beach Boys has such a weird feel to it. Somethings obviously missing it always feels like a bad cover band.
No Wilson no boys
He’s literally on stage performing
@@ozmond I think they’re talking about beach boys today. Now it’s just Mike Love’s ego and his band in the back
Every body goin surfin. Surfin USA
Sweet Little Sixteen
O que é bom só morre quando não mais existir vida.
Just about the time we opened San Diego-Coronado Br.8/3/69!!!!!!!!!!!!
love singing, here reminds me of karaoke, down the local on a Saturday night!!??
I love these guys. In 85 I had just graduated High School. The Beach Boys had only been around 25 years. Now 85 was 35 years ago. I know how they feel. We all need to go Back to the Future.
懐かしいな‼️ビーチボーイズ、オールデイ、クィーン❗
MIND BLOWING ATTENDENCE STILL , 35 years later.........I dont think LIVE 8 ( 20 years later in 2005 was as big???? Mike love was 45 ....... I was 18 just out of High School GLUED too MTV
I love The Beach Boys! Just happy, no drama music!
Caroline no would like to talk to you
@@JPproductions303 Most of Pet Sounds actually
@@jcfiggy yeah the dramatic songs are
You still need me
Don’t Talk(put your head on my shoulder)
God only Knows
I know there’s an answer
I just wasn’t made for these times
Pet Sounds
And Caroline no
And Sail On Sailor
Gracias
Whenever possible, Brian's son John Stamos played the drums. Who knew that is 80s generation would like the beach boys.
❤ Terence Hill :)
No he is not
@@ricardovandervegt9834 yes yes it's him!!! :D
Nice 🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁💖🌹🥇
One great time in Philly at JFK Stadium now the site of Lincoln Financial Field I was there😉
The deleted scenes for the 2018 biographical music film, Bohemian Rhapsody!
Saw them in ‘77, ‘78, & ‘81. It was like a ritual; everyone knew all the lyrics to every song. Much of their recordings were 2 & 1/2 minutes long. They played for 2 hours with a break after 1. They played every. damn. song. By the end most of the audience was in a frenzy. One gig had folding chairs! 8 or 9 thousand people standing on folding chairs, dancing in place, singing their lungs out. It was something to witness. All over a bunch of songs from a defunct genre pushing 20 years old. Try pulling THAT off with an audience that wasn’t even born when your first record charted.
Yeah, i was kinda surprised seeing the public even kinda dancing to that song, i mean it's 1985 and they singing a song from 1960s or something lol, don't get me wrong, i like the beach boys, but i am no expert of the time either, i am just some 22yo boy here, that likes this one song
Love Carl xxxxx
Sounds like helium
I wish dennis is in that time
Damn, if Dennis was there he would’ve gone crazy on the drums.
