1
|
Brian's absence for these shows - until early May - was due to his being in Hawaii with Landy undergoing rehab. |
|
2
| Brian joined the band for this show. He was still living in Hawaii at the time. |
|
3
| Possibly Brian's first show after returning from Hawaii. |
|
4
|
Immediately after this show they performed a private show on the White House lawn for Ronnie & Nancy. |
|
5
| George Bush's 59th birthday party |
|
6
| Mike missed these gigs with a strep throat. |
|
7
| This show was filmed. |
|
8
|
By playing this show, The Beach Boys achieved the feat of performing in all 50 states, 21 years and 210 days after their very first live appearence. |
|
9
| James Watt was invited... but didn't show. :-) May have been the 23rd. |
|
10
|
Originally planned as shows with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, for some reason the DSO never showed. |
|
11
|
At one of these shows, security guards failed to recognize them and charged them $4 each for tickets ! |
|
12
| This may well have been the last full show Dennis played while still 'officially' in the band. |
|
13
| Rescheduled from the 24th to enable the band to do a TV shoot. |
|
14
|
The last show Dennis ever played - despite what has been written in the past, photos show he played for most, if not all, of this show. |
|
15
| A fund-raiser for ex-president Ford's Amway foundation. |
|
16
| Computer Dealers Convention - the last known shows before Dennis died. |
|
17
|
In a 1985 interview, Bruce said "we finished it about three days before (Dennis) died", so the date here, whilst not precise, is correct to within a day or so. The Beach Boys added their vocals to the basic track, which was later sweetened. |
