Beach Boys Concert
I did mention back in July that I ended up at a Beach Boys concert while on vacation. I kind of got side track since then with other concerts, so I have not got back to post about getting to see them until now. I love that these guys are still performing. You get people of all ages at these kinds of shows and the fans show up dressed in their Hawaiian shirts! This was their 50th anniversary tour and to sing a couple of songs from their new album, so it was a time to re-live the past and to celebrate they still have what it takes. During the show they did a nice tribute to two of the group members that are no longer with them , Dennis Wilson and Carl Wilson.
Who are the original band members? Brian Wilson, 1942-, Dennis Wilson, 1944-83, and Carl Wilson, 1946-98, with Mike Love, 1941-, and Alan Jardine, 1942-.
Joining them to play in the band is David Marks and Bruce Johnston
Former members include Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar Former touring members include Glen Campbell, Daryl Dragon, Mike Kowalski, Carli Munoz and Toni Tennille
I was able to video them singing one of their new songs from their new album.
How fun! They were my favorites for years!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that there were that many original members still alive. I always liked Alan Jardine... Brian Wilson was a musical genius...
ReplyDeleteI knew that Glen Campbell had been a touring member of the Beach Boys, but I didn't know about Daryl Dragon.
