Catch A Wave tonight. A Beach Boys Tribute Band. They did all of the hits from the 60's, not a bad show. Mix was good sound quality was good. They did the show dressed like the 60's Beach Boys dressed in that decade. $25 a ticket, never had to leave the community. It was in our ballroom. Filled to capacity at @ $25 a ticket x 750 seats. $18,750 total gate, I do not know what the community got out of that. But not a bad night for the band.

Funny timing this... With Dick Dale passing away yesterday at 81... :(

Not for me. Never liked one single song from Beach Boys.

They did the Dick Dale tunes the Beach Boys recorded. And they mentioned him as the songwriter of those Beach Boys hits of his.

I was a surfer when they were big so I liked a bunch of their stuff when it related to surfing, then Pet Sounds came out which was sheer production genius in my humble opinion.

I grew up in San Diego mostly on the beach so I ended up with a lot of their albums as Christmas/Birthday gifts from relatives "playing it safe." LOL. They definitely had a few songs I liked, but it wasn't until I discovered Agent Orange that I found "surfer" songs I really liked (usually all covers of stuff like Dick Dale's).

I spent a lot of time in North San Diego County, when my kids were young I used to take them there for surfing and school. We usually lived in the San Elijo State Beach Campground, but some winters we would rent a house or apartment for the winter before we headed back east for the summer months

I mean, "Pet Sounds?" Come on, that is band at the apex of creativity. I still have trouble even understanding how they pulled some of that stuff off.

It was and still is an extraordinary piece of artistic musical accomplishment.
