I was there. Couldnt beleive how poorly promoted it was, maybe 10,000 there. , but fuck me if it wasn't the BEST GIG I EVER SAW!!! I'm sure everyone who was fortunate enough to be there would say the same. Fuckkkkkkk I'm pretty sure they gave me everything except maybe Cottonfields but I maybe wrong. I counted 50 songs over 3 hrs with a 20min break. Effinngggg Amazing!!!
When I hear the cliche, “😢soundtrack of my life”, I instantly think of a few groups or musicians who truly embedded themselves into my musical life. Love ‘em or hate em, The Beach Boys had a huge presence in the pop culture of American Music during the 60s thru 70s.
The best backing band the Beach Boys ever assembled: Jeff Foskett, the Wondermints, John Cowsill, etc. They replicate Brian Wilson's arrangements impeccably. Their vocals fill out to a point where the Beach Boys themselves sound fresh and vibrant.
John Cowsill Rocks !!!😊 Best Drummer ever !! No one compares to John hey I still have all my Cowsill Records 😊 same age as John Cowsill Same Birthday March 2 1956
Saw them at Sydney Sports Ground in '78. Sat night after the rain and Sun arvo, when it was pissing down. I was 16. Loved them all my life. Neck to neck with Beatles. This particular night in 2012 blew my mind. Surf, drag cars, all the hits. 50 songs. Unreal. I understand they had dummy spit soon after but I effing cherished those memories! No one touches these guys about surf, sun, cars and summer. Not NOBODY!
AGREE !! Mike Love said in Interview few years ago , John Cowsill Is Best Drummer BB Have ever had & A great Asset to the BB !! After all John Cowsill been playing Drums , since he was 7 years old , with his family The Cowsills in 60s & early 70s has played with for many Artists.& Bands I'm same age as Cowsill , I'm lucky to have all my original Cowsill Vinlys, Very expensive on Amazon & eBay !!
Only think wrong is the location. Back in the early '90s, I saw them playing on Narrabeen Beach, set up right on the sand. Can't ask for a better backdrop - fresh salt air, hot sun, the sound of surf...and what's still the best beach music as the sun sets. Still the most magical concert I've even attended. :-)
@@KateLicker Oh yeah, it gets a mention in _Surfin' USA._ A likely reason, although it also helps that there's a big enough open area there for the crowd. While just about all the beaches in Sydney are stunning, they're not all ideal for that size crowd.
I was there and i'm hyper critical, but these guys brained it. Seen lots of bands/gigs, but this was possibly the best. For those who missed it? Sucked in!
100% agree with you!!! I was at the Melbourne concert of this tour & notice how great the backing band The Beach Boys assembled. Being a drummer myself & of course a bias opinion lol the drummer here is fantastic, brilliant!!!! :)
The Drummer is John Cowsill he's been playing since he was 7 , his Family the Cowsills in 60's & has never stopped working , as Mike Love Said in Interview John Cowsill. Is Greatest Best Drummer has ever had BB & John Sings Leads on many Songs If you haven't seen BB with John Cowsill in Concert Pls go Watch Cowsill.play sing Wild Honey he's a Maniac Monster his Drums Darlin Help me Rhonda California Dreaming Cotten Fields at least 4-5 other Sings Lead & Plays I've seen BB .here in Nashville every year last Nov 2018 Cowsill been with BB bout 18-19 years ✌️
excellent song-writers=singers -musicians=well done=Trinity bless everyone with good safe healthy days=R.I.P. =Mr. & Mrs. Wilson-Dennis-Carl & other band members who passed away
Aww thanks Margaret :) cheers for checking my video out and also subscribing to me! I so wanted to come over and see the Beach Boys with Liz and you, but financial and time constraints did not allow it unfortunately :( I will get to the states one day though! I will post more videos soon!
MIKELIN8 you people need to really fucking stop hating on mike. Brian and mike are still close friends and family and still care about each other and they were both happy to be with each other
![The Beach Boys - California Girls/Do It Again [Live 1999]](/img/n.gif)
Love how the crowd cheered extra loud when Brian came on
Very much closer than view give girl Alison Porter very much voice
it kind of perturbed me a little that they would polarize the cheers that much, vs Mike Love for example..

I saw them in brisbane, absolutely fantastic. Do it again, one more time
It was full at Rod Laver arena in Melbourne.

One of the coolest band that I’ve ever heard in my life
The single biggest difference musically is the return of the Lost Beach Boy... David Lee Marks--the real deal.
This is true!
A legend in his own right.

Rest In Peace Jeffery Foskett, you are missed.
RIP Jeff Foskett. Was great doing the intros on the 50rh anniversary tour.
John Cowsill Rocks !!!😊 Best Drummer ever !! No one compares to John hey I still have all my Cowsill Records 😊 same age as John Cowsill Same Birthday March 2 1956
Your absolutely right John is the best
American music at its best. Love them.

Still sounding great
Great to see the original line up (minus Carl and Dennis ) together again .
I know it was so great to see this
Awesome. Digging John Cowsill on drums!

Cowsill is AWESOME! The next best after Denny.
Beach boys always had amazing drum beats- yes Brian Wilson wrote those too!
Sure better than Stamos

and they mention Narrabeen in a song lyric...I'm thinking that chose the location?

@@aussiebloke609 I wonder how come they'd even heard of it and tossed it in in original song-writing..
this still rock
Still one of the best!
Bad Ass’s”!! Still. Dammm
Forever young are their voices. They look a little different but wow they sound as good as ever !

Love the Beach boys
they sound so good life!!!
just like on the cd or vinyl!!
It was done only once and could never be copied
These guys blew me away.
Thia is beyond perfection ❤️
Awesome gig.
That beat though
The beginning is amazing
Great tour in 2012, i was there in Montréal Canada, Alain from Canada
Great to hear and see David.
Good idea putting a real break just when these great backing vocals make their upbeat harmonies.
Well done for putting this here.Brilliant.
They played in Denmark, on this tour - GREAT SHOW!!!
Yes, and also Scott Totten is awesome. Thanks for checking out the viddy :-)
I was there and it is interesting to watch 7ish years later.
Was it good?
@@yaniingham-thomas5001 Yes. I wasn't born in the 60's but I live in an era where some of the musicians are still alive and touring.
Great nasal performance from Mr M.E LOVE myself.
Your American friend Margaret here! Very exciting video, with fun memories! Thank you for sharing, Rodney!
I really really miss Dennis and Carl.
❤❤❤
excellent song-writers=singers -musicians=well done=Trinity bless everyone with good safe healthy days=R.I.P. =Mr. & Mrs. Wilson-Dennis-Carl & other band members who passed away
Mike is wearing the shirt he was wearing when Liz and I last saw him... ^.^
So. Many. Guitars.
Barbara Ann was 1st rock n roll song … I think I was 8!
Aww thanks Margaret :) cheers for checking my video out and also subscribing to me! I so wanted to come over and see the Beach Boys with Liz and you, but financial and time constraints did not allow it unfortunately :( I will get to the states one day though! I will post more videos soon!
Nice
Mike Love is God. In Mike Love we trust.
Hahaha, Hey Stewart!! thanks for checking it out and subscribing :) It's a relativity cadenser!!!!!
sweeeet :)
The bassist they had on this tour looks a lot like Brian did back in 67.
What about the Lead Guitarist? David Lee Marks!
Was just thinking the same thing…Lei’d in Hawaii era!!
Oh Yeah :)
very nice vid the guy next to you is a little mad!! very nice camara movement from speiberg their!! HIM!
It's too bad Charlie couldn't be there.
Who is the boys presenting the group the beach Boys?
Well done for missing David Marks lead solo. Sheesh.
It had to have killed Mike to know, night after night, that the main reason people came to these concerts was to see Brian.
MIKELIN8 you people need to really fucking stop hating on mike. Brian and mike are still close friends and family and still care about each other and they were both happy to be with each other
And Al Jardine.
And David Marks.
And Bruce Johnston.
Jack Ellison I totally hate seeing these comments too like Mike love is good too and they’re all still good friends they have been since the 60s
Brian sings this far better...
Badly shot with a 60 year old cam-corder.
it's fantastic to see what retirement villages do now to keep the inmates active..love the BB but lip sync on that...
Mike sounds a little nasal here.
😂
mike love genuinely makes me gag
Don’t be a beach boys fan then
