Aug 11, 2008 - Bruce Johnston on electric Piano in front,( he gained fame originally as a member/producer of the rip chords, then wrote "I write the songs", Barry Manilows big hit) Brian is playing the white Grand Piano, and Mike Meros is plaing electric organ in back.

Aug 11, 2008 - 1980 was during the CARTER Administration. By the way, Reagan met the Beach Boys personally in 1983.

CFMD28 Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - Actually, it was 1983 during The Reagan Administration. James Watt was Secretary Of The Interior at that time. Reagan took office in January 1980. Look it up on wikipedia under James Watt. Have a nice day....God Bless.

CFMD28 Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - Watt was reported to have said the concert on The Mall would draw an "undesirable element" to D.C. Isn't that what is already there thanks to American voters?

principalmerritt Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - I see what your saying, but Reagan took office in 1981. Just a minor error.

Aug 20, 2008 - fuck Watt..R.I.P Carl....love ya forever...

Aug 23, 2008 - Wow, the band seems really 'on'. Dennis is playing really well, and someone decided to mix his cymbal down...good choice as Dennis was a cymbal basher. Now we can hear the tight kick and extra-loud backbeat he's known for.

Crowsfan55 Says:

Aug 23, 2008 - heh...great comments on Dennis...when he wasn't fucked up and cymbal basher...he really supplied a powerful background on drums...

Sep 2, 2008 - dang, My Carl was so hot in this brief cut off vid.

Crowsfan55 Says:

Sep 3, 2008 - I remember when my dad came back from a business trip to Syracuse...he had breakfast with these nice young boys who were apparantly playing Ed Sullivan Sunday night..my dad...decided that as nice as these young men were...including one in partitular named "Brian"..that no autographs...pictures...etc were important...until Sunday night...when we watched Ed Sullivan and he said "oh..there are the boys I had breakfast with"..lol..he was a good dad...how 'bout a Brian Wilson signed napkin?

Sep 19, 2008 - The Beach Boys and Chicago touring back in the day was a fit. I first thought this WAS a Chicago song. I don't know if they ever admitted it, but the BB's had to have been an influence on Chicago's pop sound.

fgldnglbs Says:

Sep 19, 2008 - And too bad that Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire didn't tour together then. Would have sold out in a half hour.

Oct 19, 2008 - I like his son Justyn, he looks like him and is just as nice!

rodcrippler Says:

Oct 25, 2008 - the beach boys were an influence for almost every pop and r&B hit love song i have heard, truly great stuff, not like nowadays shit-pop

Crowsfan55 Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - CFMD28 is right...and it was Nancy Reagan who put her foot down on Watt's neck when she heard about it...she slept with the President...Watt was gone soon after this fiasco of actually saying the friggin Beach Boys would draw an undesirable element..her favortite song by them was "Hearts were full of Spring"...It was her and Ronnie's love song...along with anything by Sinatra

handinside Says:

Nov 1, 2008 - Nancy Reagan was a hypocrite. That is, she told us to all "Just Say No" to druggs--yet at the same time she herself was addicted to Ronny's "crack".

Dukabor Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - heh...stop putting images in my head...it's not nice!

netonuno Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - Mike Love is a clown.

Crowsfan55 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - yeh...but he owns the name "Beach Boys"....he lawyered up...I hate him...least contributor but smart businessman I guess...

netonuno Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - unfortunately i must agree with you. we got to give him some credit, for that, and good vibrations and kokomo.

DanielP850 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - For me Carl Wilson had the best voice in the Beach Boys after Brian Wilson got into drugs and whatever.

Bandtrip50 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - She loved Milton Berle's hot big salami too! :)

borskyviolin Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - "Least contributor"? What a joke! OK, yeah, Brian Wilson is obviously the most important member, but Mike Love was a very important member of the Beach Boys, obviously.
