I was never a huge fan of the Beach Boys.

Watching these videos make me appreciate them a LOT more. The intricate harmonies, the instrumentation, wow.

And, in "Wouldn't It Be Nice," the changes in keys.

I had occasion to see them, live, in about 1999 at a county fair. It was fun.

Musical Trivia: Who is the ONLY Grammy Award-Winning Beach Boy? (Not tribute, of "achievement" award)

[Copper]

Glen Campbell?

Captain and Tanille?

The Boston Symphony?

Chicago?

I have seen these with The Beach Boys, the BSO twice! I have seen at least a dozen of their shows.

Everyone has played with them, with and without Grammys

[George K]

@Copper yeah, I guess you could include those.

I was thinking of Bruce Johnston, who wrote his grammy-award winning song while a member of the Beach Boys.

At least, that's the story I heard when I saw them live.
