Good Timin': Live At Knebworth 1980

Performer: The Beach Boys
Producer: Mark Linett...
Distributor: RED Distribution

Notes: GOOD TIMIN' features the last live show recorded by the original line up of the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys: Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Alan Jardine. Recorded live at Knebworth House, England on June 21, 1980. Includes liner notes by Mike Grant. One of the last performances of the Beach Boys' original lineup was a cold and drizzly open-air show at Knebworth, in England, in 1980. Though obviously struggling with the adverse conditions (as well as the debilitated condition of both Brian and Dennis Wilson), the band performs a creditable set that stretches from its early days (a rousing "Be True to Your School") through its classic period with "Heroes and Villains," "God Only Knows," and "Good Vibrations," and later songs like the Bach-flavored "Lady Linda."

Uncut (5/03, p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It's good vibrations all the way and the last chance so far to catch, Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson in their mythical endless summer. Very easy listening..." Mojo (Publisher) (4/03, p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Fans often lose sight of what a tremendously well-knit live band The Beach Boys were. This will remind them..."

Admired for both their infectious surfer music and their sophisticated, multi-tracked pop productions, the Beach Boys created a lasting impression on popular music through their complex harmonies and Brian Wilson's genius for composition and arrangement. Their 1966 album, PET SOUNDS, is a baroque/psychedelic-pop masterpiece that easily ranks among the most influential albums of the rock era. Brian's emotional difficulties eventually prevented him from performing, but his brothers and buddies carried on without him, singing his songs and spreading that California sunshine all over the world. In 1999, Brian launched a solo world tour, showcasing his Beach Boys compositions, and has continued to perform live as well.
