Lei'd In Hawaii
''Lei'd in Hawaii'' is an unfinished live album by American rock band the Beach Boys that was produced shortly after the completion of their 1967 studio album ''Smiley Smile''. It was initially planned to include the band's first live concert performances since their tour of Europe in May 1967. The two concerts, held at the Honolulu International Center Arena on August 25 and 26, featured a rare appearance from Brian Wilson, marking his only shows with the touring group between 1965 and 1970. It was also the band's first public appearance following their controversial withdrawal from the Monterey Pop Festival that summer. For this one-off engagement, the group arranged their songs in a similar stripped-down style as ''Smiley Smile'', with Wilson on Baldwin organ. However, the band was underrehearsed and performed their sets poorly. Some of the members were also under the influence of LSD for the duration. After deeming the concert tapes unsuitable for release, in September ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beach Boys Concert
''Beach Boys Concert'' is the first live album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on October 19, 1964. It is their seventh album in all, and their third alone in the same year. It was their first of two chart-topping albums in the US (the other was their 1974 greatest hit compilation, '' Endless Summer''), as well as the first live album to top pop music record charts, maintaining its position for four weeks during a sixty-two-week chart stay, and becoming another gold seller. The album was recorded live at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California, though it received heavy post-production treatment. Because Brian Wilson was about to vacate his position in the live group, and would only perform sporadically with them over the course of the next three decades, it is one of the few live documents of the original line up of the Beach Boys in officially released LP form. In 2014, '' Live in Sacramento 1964'' was released, containing additional performances from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Record Mirror
''Record Mirror'' was a British weekly music newspaper between 1954 and 1991 for pop fans and record collectors. Launched two years after the ''NME'', it never attained the circulation of its rival.

Smile (The Beach Boys Album)
''Smile'' (stylized as ''SMiLE'') is an unfinished album by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was planned to follow their 11th studio album ''Pet Sounds'' (1966). It was to be a 12-track LP that drew from over 50 hours of interchangeable sound fragments, similar to the group's 1966 single "Good Vibrations". Instead, after a year of recording, the album was shelved and the group released a downscaled version, ''Smiley Smile'', in September 1967. Over the next four decades, few of the original ''Smile'' tracks were officially released, and the project came to be regarded as the most legendary unreleased album in popular music history. The album was produced and almost entirely composed by Brian Wilson with guest lyricist and assistant arranger Van Dyke Parks, both of whom conceived the project as a riposte to the British sensibilities that had dominated popular music of the era. Wilson touted ''Smile'' as a "teenage symphony to God" to surpass ''Pet Sounds''. It was a c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
