The Eternal Summer of The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys delighted with their diverse catalog into a generous concert revival of the harmonic extravaganza of the 1960s, though their heroes, Mike Love, co-founder and lead vocalist, and keyboardist Bruce Johnston, have been in the group since 1965, already bypassing 80 years of age. Brian Wilson and the Jardines aren’t in the current line-up, nor are the late Karl and Dennis Wilson, but they are all reminded of videos and footage that illustrate the party and fill it with nostalgia. The group’s current tour, very appropriately called “Sixty Years of the Sounds of Summer”, is a show that has been touring the US and Europe since March, both in casinos, art centers, theaters, cruises and Hard Rock chain hotels, the Olympia Room in Paris, the Royal Albert Hall in London or festivals.

Moreover, they not only remember their wonderful plant, but to make the name of the tour even more real, they include copies of pals. Even if they are from later times, as with “Rockaway Beach” in the Ramones. Another emotional moment is when Mick Love remembers his stay in India to meditate and meet with the Beatles, which ends with the rescue of the artists’ song “Pisces Brothers” and “Here come de sun”.

George Harrison. Other significant songs are “Rock and Roll” by Chuck Berry, “Want to Dance?” Written by Bobby Freeman and lead “Barbara Ann” of The Regents. And what do we say when he releases his jewels, all icons of pop history, that help anchor us in the imagination of an eternal summer, filled with sun, beaches, and surfboards riding the inexhaustible waves. With rich vocal harmony, they knew how to reflect the radiance of a time when everything was still possible. And where the heroes of the ’80s didn’t arrive, there were guitarists in the band, with a voice that allows them to reach high notes to remember in the happy ’60s conditions with technicolor colors and high fidelity.

They can proudly celebrate sixty years in entertainment, become a pop icon, and take their timeless youthful anthems around the world, as long as their bodies stand firm, confident in the voice that has passed through generations. We say this in light of the audience that filled the landscaped area, and the amalgamation of layers and ages that showed how transversal The Beach Boys became. Their songs evoke really good vibes, and although the soundtrack loses its nuance with age, they’ve learned their lesson well and new members of the band contribute to the instrumental sheet, in Nate moving according to the opinion of music director, guitarist and vocalist Scott Totten.

The Beach Boys debuted in Spain in October 1990. The 2012 tour—which stopped at Poble Espanyol for a memorable concert—was the tour that featured the most memorable members, but Brian Wilson sounded another world behind his white piano. Since then, Mike Love has always been in charge, delivering that impeccable cocktail in which the mix of doo-wop and rock ‘n’ roll gets real, sophisticated pop, and where distinctive and precious vocal harmonies play a dominant role. They have been performing the same ceremony for many years, but far from boredom, every time they open their mouths, the art of intangible wonders is activated.

And that’s from the first “Do it again”, in a great group of songs that first culminated with “Surfin” safari, after we set the “mood” we flew his “Little Honda” and surfed over the world with “Catch a wave”. Nonstop, they sparkled in the passionate, sweet and bitter tones of “Surf Girl” and in the soulful air of the sincere recreation of “Then I Kissed Her”. Heavenly harmony and strong rhythm, in a magical formula that his poems for the car did not lack, with “Little Deuce Coupe” and “409”, the most famous of which were “Help Me, Rhonda”, the beautiful “God Only Knows”, from his classic album “Sounds of Pets” “And the sumptuous crest is ‘good vibes.’” There was also time to prove his skill in the grotesque “Kokomo” style and to illustrate it, with “Dance, dance,

Dance” and “Fun, Fun and Fun,” which are the ultimate intentions of his great music: dance and fun.
