This was during the period when Carl Wilson was not performing with the band and was touring solo.

I see another version listed over on this Beach Boys fan site, it has a different set list.

There is also pro-shot video available. You can see parts of that on youtube.

The concert was introduced by Wolfman Jack and he says "It's live from Southern California, the first live satellite stereo simulcast".

Unfortunately the mix and broadcast of this tape isn't up to our usual high standards.

IMO: This has too much crowd cheer added into the mix and makes it somewhat hard to hear the finer parts of the instrumentation.

It bugs the heck out of me, the way radio stations insisted on blending in crowd cheer into the mix. They ruin everything they touch.

Imagine if radio broadcasts were strictly soundboard feeds, then maybe we could finally hear the music.

I know there were more songs played, though we get a full hour of songs here.

Check samples for quality.
