My first Beach Boys concert. Unfortunately I was sitting behind them. This was the last full concert the Beach Boys did in San Diego. There were still signs of creativity in the setlist, and the songs weren't yet "glued" into place as they came to be in the late 90's. A more than respectable concert, soundwise.
Archive update (12/1/05): Thanks to C-Man and Rob Shepherd, I was able to get a copy of this concert on tape. I was reminded by the tape that a special RIAA award was presented to the band right before the concert began, recognizing the gold status of the "Good Vibrations" boxed set, released the year before. Special thanks to C-Man and Rob Shepherd. I also learned that "In My Room", "Surfin' Safari", "Kokomo", "Wipeout", and "Darlin" were misplaced on my "from memory" setlist. This is a great example of why I hesitate to post "from memory" setlists...and I wrote it down that same night, too! Oftentimes, we think we remember things accurately, but memories can become altered over time, especially after a few years!
