Website Comments and Review

The Rikki/Blondie era saw a more soulful sounds from the Beach Boys, and also saw a huge upturn in their fortunes, promoted by Endless Summer and the critical re-appraisal resulting from that album. Both of these aspects come through on this highly regarded live album, which combines a fair bit of material from recent albums with the early mega-hits. The band is all in good form, and only real quibble is the lack of Dennis material.

It is also the only legal source of the Rikki/Blondie song We Got Love, dropped from Holland at the last minute (unless you want to mortgage your family for a rare German copy of the early Holland pressings. Other material is all available elsewhere, but is worth hearing in these early 70s reinterpretations.

RATING: 8 out of 10
