I have listened to this over and over, they were still awesome in 2012 after 50 years. Yes, we miss Carl and Dennis. So glad David Marks was there, he is a Beach Boy and awesome lead guitar. Love how Don't back down sounded. This sound will live on well past when we are all gone.
@@darrenallen7754 agree. Though I am a total Beatles fanatic, it must be said that the Beach Boys were BASED on harmony singing and thus, Brian had emulated groups like the Four Freshmen. The Beatles of course had excellent singing too, but they had different roots, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Motown etc. So Frey was right, you can‘t top the BB as far as harmony singing is concerned.
They still have the BB sound….even if it takes twice as many to do what the original 5 used to do!!! The best band ever ~ man we had the coolest music in the 60s!!!! ❤️❤️😎😎💕💕🥰🥰❤️❤️😎😎💕💕
I SAW THE 50TH REUNION CONCERT WHERE I LIVE AND IT WAS " FANTASTIC " ..........IT WAS FUN TO SEE THEM BRING THE OLD CLASSIC CARS INTO THE STADIUM ON THE GRASS BEFORE THE CONCERT.........A GREAT NIGHT !
Brian Wilson is one of the greatest composers of all time. U can put him up with Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven, and others and he is just as good as them. I have been a BB fan since 1964 and it is 2024. When I played high school football, we listened to the BB’s while lifting weight. My head coach played bass on one the songs. My mom fell in love the the Bb’s because of. They are a part of me. Love then
The Beach Boys were never the same after Carl died. I still miss him. Brian was never the same after Dennis died and then he lost his little brother Carl.
America greatest band. Wish they could play together before it is to late. My wife died in November 2018. She had brain cancer but before she died she called a radio station for free Beach Boy tickets. They called me two weeks after she died and I was struggling. I had won two tickets to see them in December in Charleston. Like lots of hard times the music, the harmonies and endless summer saved me again. Thank you!
My condolences on your wifes death. They have been known to help people pull through difficult times. Music can be the remedy that is needed. I saw them after a concert getting autographs this lady told Mike that her whole house had been burglarized and she lost everything of value but the tickets to the concert he was very kind and understanding he got the road manager to get some merchandise to give to her and her children.
@@raysmith7542 the same to you there is another great song the sun ain't gonna shine anymore by the Walker brothers. That can pull you through a lot of guys in Vietnam loved that song.
The Beach Boys music is Eternal American Rock n' Roll , The Fountain of Youth born in the 1960's. It rejuvenates me at my age of 58 and all of a sudden I'm 18 again! Magic Forever.
My gosh, they sound just like they did in the 1960's when these songs came out. I absolutely love the Beach Boys music and these songs, "Catch a Wave", "Hawaii", "Don't Back Down" "Surfin' Safari" Just can't get enough of their 1960's songs in particular. P.S. David Marks, I read your book. Good to read it!! I used to have a bit of a crush on you.
Never tire of listening to the BB's. Fan since 1964, saw them live in 66 and 67, amazing band, reason I started surfing and still and still doing both.
When they started out for being just kids there music was very well put together awesome harmony and awesome guitar and drum work and there still awesome
I have now reached the age of 70 years and I still play every day music from the Beach Boys and I get never bored of hearing this great music what ever song that may be THANK YOU BOYS
Me too & I’m pushing 75!!! I grew up on Elvis, Everly Bros., Buddy Holly, Fats Domino - & then The Beach Boys!!! I’ll never get tired of any of it!!!! 💕💕😎😎❤️❤️😊😊💖💖
The 60 as a kid side walk surfing listening to these guys till was old enough to get drivers license so I could go to beach and surf my long board 69 years old don't surf but am am still listening to these guys.
There was something special going on in Southern California in 1963. The Surf Music era, surfing, American muscle cars, pretty girls in bikinis, hamburger stands, drive in movies, Summer weather, lemonade stands, malt shops, Diners etc. The Endless Summer Phenomenon was born and great 1960's bands formed with music unlike any other era in Rock N'Roll History. Teenagers, young people, fast stylish automobiles and boom fun fun fun in the Summertime.
The best American rock ever. No harmonies like theirs and they did them live. I've heard them many times , back then and now. Still my favorites. Brian is the genius that led the other super talented in the band. Amazing! Their music will live on and on.
This is truly a GREAT sound - Al, Brian, David Marks, Matt Jardine, & Mike!! Four original BBs + Matt!! Hard to believe they in their ‘70s here…except Matt!!! I’ll always love the beach music!!!❤️❤️🥰🥰🌈🌈
These guys are the most kickass rockin' band ever. They are true innovators in the world of rock, and the world of rock can never repay them for all of the rock.
I still remember a Beach Boys concert I saw in Superior, Wisconsin in the late 90s. Carl was still alive. When the Beach Boys went to finish their show with the surf medley, dozens of teenagers rushed the stage. I thought I was back in the 60s. It was incredible! The band let them all up on stage to sing with them. That is Americana!
Just think guys here it is October 28 ,2021...three months from now Beach Boys history celebrates the 60th Anniversary. Even if Brian can't make it. .I think this same crew on stage should do a taped concert ,at least, of other songs that don't get enough attention. There are many!!
Backstage....Dave was with Dean Torrence and Surf City All Stars last yr. He saw my Telecaster in a bag with Fender in big white letters....Dave Marks says "Is that a fender" ? Hilarious, What a great guy...Dean too, stories about Jan and The Beach Boys.....Classic
the 50th anniversary show was as good a musical history lesson as you could have ever wanted, and as good as any act could provide. the Beachboys and support were in fine voice, fine instrument (w all the licks, rarely missing a trick) carl and dennis and the original Brian forever missed , but what a show all the performers put on. if you were there in person, you know how good it was...if you missed the live show, enjoy the 50th through YT....so loved all the songs and the ones rarely performed. and Ive never danced so much and sang along so much at a live show. god bless that June night just a few yrs. ago.
I was given a front row center seat for one of these shows from a Backing Member of the Band. I will never forget the pure energy, never seen since Hawaii 1986 with our Beloved Carl.
I've listen to the BB for 52 (!) years now. Some of the song I've heard 1000 times. and thery are just as fresh and enjoyable now. I know of no other greater compliment
Amazing those Beach Boys sound better live than on their records and their records are spectacular so if you ever get the chance to go see him live it's worth the money. The best All American rock and roll band ever. I'm 70 years old and I still listen to those guys everyday
I've been a Beast Boys fan for 37 years. Their concerts have been my favorite memories while growing up. I finally found a concert that I play all the time. This show had the harmonies perfect, the mix perfect and of course the setlist was incredible.
Not sure if Brian's piano was even plugged in, but it sure was good to see all of the lads together on this anniversary tour. (Kind of sad thinking about and missing Carl and Dennis, but I think they would have been proud!)
Wow, they sound really good. What an amazing show! Brian should take a bow but seems a little dazed. But I know he's alright & it's so good to see him out in the world and on a stage where he belongs. What a musical explosion of hits they had back in the sixties. Lifetime fan here.
BB were my first favourite band and despite lots of other stuff I've gotten into I always return to these guys. They always put a smile on my dial in this crazy stuffed up world.

At 73years..old can't get enough of there music
best band ever 😅😅
The best ever1962
To now
John Cowsill on drums is a magician!
Jeff Foskett..Rest in Peace. Your falsetto voice on this video was perfect. Also the songs you sang were beautifully performed.
Jeff was also the musical director in Brian‘s excellent solo band. What a talent.
THE BEST EVER!!!! SAW THEM IN 1962 IN PROVIDENCE RI AND MANY TIMES SINCE!!!!!!
No need to yell 😇
@@ButNotStupidEnoughToTrustThem CAUSE I TYPE IN CAPITALS, IT'S YELLING?? LOL
@@josephjohnston5213 Yes 😇
Best vibes ever.
I'm 62 years old still a surfer and remember them when I was five that's when I started surfing ❤️💙💚😍🥰😎👽

Lest we forget Glen Campbell.
If any rock band could ever be called "timeless" it's got to be the Beach Boys.
Some people should live forever!
Mike still rocking I hate to say it .. but would love to have been there
Groups may come and go, but The Beach Boys managed to become a pop phenomenon!!!! 60 years!!! How many can say that??
So cool they performed Don't Back Down 🤗
They can still hit the high notes the low notes and everything in between they are timeless.
one of my fave groups i loce it!
Every time I see Jeff Foskett I want to give him a big hug!!
"You won't find a better singing group than the Beach Boys" (Glenn Frey)
I believe The BeaTles are in their class.
I think the beatles got more popularity than the beach boys,but I think the beach boys had better sounding harmonies
0:53
There’s better music now

RIP gone too soon
@@tonybonnici5920 I did not know he died..
Yes sadly. It wasn't all that long ago.@@Erix7810
Mike Love and friends put on a great show - representing ❤
Total greatness, I long to go back to the summer of 1962.
That drummer has got my respect!!
So great to hear "Don't Back Down"...and such a great version...
Old time fan Beach Boys, Jan & Dean & The Surfaris. I saw the Beach Boys in 1966, long time ❤ fan. Owned all the early LP records
Thanks Mike and Brian...love you both.
The beach Boys are the greatest ever

You better believe it❤❤❤❤
Great wholesome music. Youthful memories.
NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING THEM
agree
John Cowsill on the drums is so great.
THE GENIUS OF BRIAN AND HIS HARMONY COMBINED WITH THE BEACH BOYS SOUNDS CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH ANY OTHER BAND IN THE WORLD. AMEN
That's because there is only one beach boys
amen
You're so right! Awesome Beach boys!
@@laurietijerina3816 🙏💯💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The guy singing the high parts is great, I love this music. The harmonies are awesome, the musicians all rock!
Jeff Foskett. He recently lost his voice.

I’ve been mentioning they’re also not the same without Carl too.
What a great concert, with Dave Mark's,.it makes it more special. Brian Wilson is really something else,.a gifted musician
They just keep getting better and better if that's possible .

Excellent sound mix
These guys are the most kickass rockin' band ever. They are true innovators in the world of rock, and the world of rock can never repay them for all of the rock.
Everyone talks about them singing great in their 70's, they sound better than many who are young dudes. Rock on guys!!!!
Its called using backing tracks ..it's basically the vocals off the original recordings. They are miming ...

WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE THEM ALL PERFORM TOGETHER!!! WHAT A TREAT!!!
Great drummer
This is a great clip!!! Love this music!!!! ❤️❤️😎😎
Your band is still amazing and always has been! We love ya'll!
These guys made my junior and senior year....cruisin...lookin for guys.
One of the best concerts I have been to. I listen to the Beach Boys in my car every single day and I mean literally.
America’s greatest rock band. Hands down. Nobody even comes close.
Southwick j
They sure are number one forever in my mind. The Japan concert was one of the best ever.
Rolling Stones are the Best Rock ' Roll Band in the World.
@@rustinaginger9502 And I was gonna go see them in Seattle this month until Mick became ill.....DARN!!!!

he should have been there, all along
I think Jeff Foskett is the main influence on keeping ths Beach Boys sound alive. He can sing all of the parts, where the others cant any more.
These years were amazing,keep them going guys,what would the world be without you...!!!
Brave Beach Boys! They must have to fight feeling sad over the absence of Carl and Dennis and other disappeared elements, yet they kill it anyway!!!
I dont surf but I love the beach boys
Catchy tune love the beachboys

What a show they put on . I think it as 2012. I always expected another big USA concert after that. But it wasn't meant to be .
I was given a front row center seat for one of these shows from a Backing Member of the Band. I will never forget the pure energy, never seen since Hawaii 1986 with our Beloved Carl.
California SOUL !! These guys can sang !!

Jay, Right there with you, bro. I was raised in the LA area and surfed, too....... and loved the Beach Boys from Day #1. Brian Wilson is a genius.
I've meet all of them there GREAT people
Lucky You. !!

Love Marks guitar solos....so authentic
And played on a Fender Jaguar, a very unique and recognizable sound. Same as what Carl used for a long time.
Been a Beach Boys fan since I was 9 in 1965 or 8 in 1964 .My sister had their records the 45 RPM records !

Mike was singing like he had something to prove that night!!! Wonderful to hear that nasally California accent in effect.
NOTHING wrong in putting your soul into a song.
Right he gives them the Beach Boy sound that nobody can replace.
BB were my first favourite band and despite lots of other stuff I've gotten into I always return to these guys. They always put a smile on my dial in this crazy stuffed up world.
Saw the BB last week for the 37th time. That's why I go. Always leave smiling ear to ear.
