Those were the days! No one can duplicate this no matter how hard they try! Looks like such a fun time! The audience was lucky to be there! Thoroughly enjoyed being entertained watching this performance for the first time ever! Thanks for posting!😊❤
It was good seeing Brian Wilson happy and playing with the group on that first number. He ran into such trouble later in life. As a 13 year old boy living in cold northern Ohio, what the Beach Boys and California represented to me was almost mythical. I wanted to be there someday. 12 years later I was living in northern California and I never looked back.
@Sunrays2020 Fantastic memories. I met many of the bands. We used to go to concerts in Ohio all over the place and up to Detroit. If you wanted to talk to the group you just went backstage. Everybody was very casual and we might smoke a joint with them or something. I met Jimi, Janis, MC5, Ted Nugent, Iggy Pop and the Stooges...so many bands! I think somebody turned on the creativity switch in the '60s because there was so much music being made. The Beatles led the charge. They really started us thinking about life and what the possibilities were. I'm still spreading the message of love and I'm 70. I think we shook up the world, as Muhammed Ali said after his victory over Sonny Liston. The Beach Boys, Mamas & Papas and the Byrds were huge California influences.
@Sunrays2020 monster mash it's looks like good stuff on board with different colors dark hobr happy Halloween costume party conjuring movie part in before New beach boys years I love it so much
What was so eerie is that when he had his nervous breakdown in dec 1964 it wast the same month the supremes made their tv debut on ed sullivan. not to compare but in 2002 across the ocean in england a new Girlgroup called Girls aloud were introduced to the UK Public and became legends. Sadly one of them Sarah Harding 1981-2021 died of Breast Cancer.
This delightful Shindig compilation really shows the Beach Boys in their prime, so healthy, so full of life, young and handsome! Their voices were just phenomenal. These live performances show just how ridiculously talented they all were. Holy cow could Brian hit those high notes! And his voice when he sang Please let me Wonder just melted me. Oh man the way those girls screamed at the Dennis Wilson closeups, lol. You just can't watch this video without smiling. This was a very badly needed pallette cleanser after watching some really depressing later stuff when Brian was so ill and out of it. Ah to be young again!
I love listening to this video while planting my vegetable garden... It gives me so much energy and happiness, and I don't have to touch it for 19 minutes!
LIVE. Carl's Rick 12 string sounds very much like a Fender Jag, and the double tracking on Wonder. No way would three voices around one mic sound like this does in Rhonda. PS I am a massive BBs fan.
Yes indeed. I always said "Please Let Me Wonder" was one of the greatest love songs ever written, from the viewpoint of a young adult/late teenager......
@@davidwilliams2403Shindig would have bands record in RCA studios to sound live. The appearances appeared live but most were just mimed to pre recorded tracks to make it sound and look live.
This is priceless. Love them all, but even the Mike Love haters gotta admit he really got into the character of the songs. So much fun to watch. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Mike really kept the crowd going with his dancing and role playing antics. Carl could really play that guitar. as well. Not just a cute face and sweet singing voice. Denny kept that beat going non stop. He must have burned off a thousand calories every concert. If you watch Brian closely as he plays that base you'll realize how effortless he made it look, as if he could play it sleeping. Great bass sound. Brian, genuinly good hearted and divinely gifted. Al and Brian switch falsetto parts quite often but you've got to watch and listen closely to catch it. Super well rehearsed, on key and able to "Rock Your Socks Off"! Oh, how I remember those days when dancing was everything and cars were really something special. The Beach Boys made living life so much fun!
Absolutely priceless. They were in their prime here! Brian seems to be really enjoying himself. We recently saw Brian and Al in concert with Chicago! This takes me back to my youth. Thank you Beachboys for your incredible sounds and songs. Brian is a musical genius.

Famous Rhonda by Al Jourdin . Love how they feature everyone - AL does a fabulous job with this. It’s crazy how all their voices just match each other perfectly / it has the beach boy sound big time. Great Job AL! ♥️
Some really great live stuff. They all made their sound so amazing. Their Hearts Were Full of Spring is a terrific version with Dennis contributing so well. Dennis's lead on Do You Wanna Dance is impressive. They all were so talented and probably the best vocal group ever.
I remember that Old St Nick song but I didnt know the BB did it...being I the midwest and a little younger, I didn't know many details of thevBeach Boys until later yeard. Learning a lot now on the internet and TH-cam... some too much that I wish I didnt learn about the boys
Personal story here, but in 1983 They were first group to play at the new Louis J. Tullio Convention Center in Erie, PA (named now changed today). Firefall opened for them (they were great too). But alter that show I will never forget, It went from amazing energy during entire performance, and when stage cleared after the show ended, all of sudden Dennis came out again bare chested with towel around his neck, walked to front of stage bowing to everyone again, as if to say "Good bye".. A couple weeks after that I heard on news he died in diving accident... Haunts me to this day.
I've never seen Brian smiling so much on stage! He was happy and really rockin. You could see the love he had for all his bandmates, who turned their music into magic!
I was 5 when they came out. Growing up in Southern CA. My older bros were teenagers they would also go see these guys play. Later years working in the music biz in Hollywood i would meet most of the guys. Brian was borderline musical genius. The harmonies. Mike on vocals. Incredible! Memories 🎶🎶🎶
Yes they were extremely talented musically, vocally, and instrumentally. The music industry took advantage of that for $$$ early on and within about 1 year it drove Brian into mental breakdown sadly, demanding constant tours and 4-5 albums within 1964 with their Christmas Album the last before that fateful day..
Yeah, that's their boy band attraction-- ya gotta sing sweet for the girls. All that whole culture is lost now; teen couples used to slow dance to "Warmth of the Sun," and shit like that. All gone now!
@@sebastiangiambo290 Yep,Carl had a great voice without doubt,its just that that gorgeous smile and the exquisite falsetto of Brian was mindblowing imo lol.I was entranced when he was on stage.
This was al made worthwhile just to see Brian singing "Papa Oooomow Mow". Really. Great garage band stuff there, Brian! And I didn't know Carl played a Rickenbacker, either. Nice.
‘Their Hearts Were Full of Spring’ shows such incredible vocal talent! Their blend, phrasing and vocal dynamics were utterly superb! I could listen to that song every day forever!
Just because he wasn’t as technical with technique and fills as some other drummers doesn’t take away what his drumming added to the music. And that’s what makes a good drummer.
@@marioa.8131some were much more complicated and involved crucial instruments that The Beach Boys didn’t play on stage, so they sorta just faked it with a backing track but sang actual vocals
Dance dance dance. I like that song. I'm over the place when I listen to it. Today albums was a cool one. Mike Love was singing reason for the season at the CAC with this one..with Bruce and the crew.
Yes always great to see Brian In the young days. It’s hilarious how all the girls scream every time the camera shows Dennis. Haha big grin from him. Wow. That’d give you a big ego eventually wouldn’t it ? And if a no / you’d be so used to hearing yes that you couldn’t cope with it. Guess he did as good as he could do. I like him very much & admire his work with The Beach Boys & music after that. ♥️ Personally I think he was underrated with his music skill.
This was to be the unknown close of the 'golden era'. Brian was to totally relinquish is role as leader. Things would never be the same following this.
Have to agree to disagree I am afraid...imo Brian was the Beachboys,he is not regarded as a genius by his music peers for nothing,any singer could have replaced Mike,he had a very nasally run of the mill voice
Al is replacing David Marks who played rhythm guitar in the first four albums so I've always wondered what the Beach Boys sound like with Dave and Carl instead of al and Carl playing guitar , and unfortunately other than a recording at the Azusa Boys Club which is very early, we have no recordings of the band before David left and Al rejoined. But if you listen to the early albums you hear that Dave and Carl were amazing guitarist together and defined the early Beach Boys sound. Al is fantastic but he was essentially a folk guitarist and he's doing his best here to try to keep up with that early Beach Boys sound but it's not something he contributed to or had composed. In fact he's a better bassist, so if you want to hear a fantastic bass part, listen to Al on don't worry baby among other beachboy tracks. Boy their history is complicated but there's no doubt that they are rocking here in this configuration as well.
there is one full lip sync.. do u wanna dance.... live vocals with backing track..dance dance dance and rhonda.. the rest are all live playing and singing.... this has the best version of hearts are full of spring ive ever heard..!!.. check carl wilsons guitar playing... very cool but it could have been...LOUDER...LOL.. also check out the 4 song set on tami show video + lost concert videos.. full show.. BB can sing and play with the best of them...!! including brit invasion 1964...
There's actually a Red Skeleton show from April 1963 that features the Beach Boys with David Marks, they perform Surfin USA and at the 8:11 mark the whole band does a commercial for the Surfin USA album. Also a short video of surfing safari with David on guitar, and the band still wearing their Pendleton shirts....
Interesting production. I was born in 1975, so I definitely missed this. It’s interesting how they use backing tracks for some of the songs, but not all of them… and on the ones they use tracks on, they kinda double them live. I think this was the early days of live performances on TV and they were experimenting with how to do it most effectively. American Bandstand didn’t use any actual live audio on their performances. This is like 50/50. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when this was being taped. It’s featured on the opening of the film “Love & Mercy”.
I think it was because Please let me Wonder, Help Me Rhonda, and Do you Wanna dance were all done when Brian’s producing in the studio was getting more intricate and they weren’t able to replicate it with a 5 piece band live
Can you explain what you mean by this? I've also watched and listened to a ton about them, and I don't get that feeling at all. Brian says personally, they clashed... but musically, they were great collaborators! Family conflict is normal, as is competition and jealousy. But they all love(d) each other.
Those boys were so mentally and physically abused by Murry, it's a wonder they ever made it thru their youth years! How much better the 3 brothers lives could have turned out if otherwise, and had a stable home life as kids. All 3 of them may still be alive. So sad.

Thank you for the timestamps
I think Mike Love was born a 40 year old man 😂😂
@@DavidHBurkartHe looked older then he does now!
I love the energy of these performances. Oh what it is to be young!

Great Job AL! ♥️
Some really great live stuff. They all made their sound so amazing. Their Hearts Were Full of Spring is a terrific version with Dennis contributing so well. Dennis's lead on Do You Wanna Dance is impressive. They all were so talented and probably the best vocal group ever.
I was a young kid then with 3 older sisters, I knew they were great then, followed them throughout my life and I am over 60 now...
Great job. This is gold. Live for real. Brian’s falsetto and lead singing. Shy Carl. And Mike Love being, well Mike Love.
That's the most animated I've ever seen Mike Love when he sang The monster mash and he did it pretty damn good too
Best American band ever
A poor reflection of the Lettermen.....
Without a doubt
Americana at its Best 🇺🇸 ♥️ 🎶🎵
Sorry but you simply don't get it
@@anthonychampagne6239😊
The screams whenever Dennis appeared onscreen were Beatlesesque. He was the sex symbol of the group.
How would the crowd know when the camera was pointed at him?
@@dinoferrante1718 monitors visible to the audience
@@dinoferrante1718 LOL
The audience was probably directed to cheer at certain points. Kind of like an audience told when to laugh for sit coms.

They will forever be my favorites
Mine too! Chicago is a close 2nd.
Same here, Same order. I saw Beach Boys with Chicago back in 80's in Erie, PA and it was magic for me...
Nobody smiles better than Dennis
Carl though on the intro to Johnny b Goode
Poor Dennis and Carl....their death was heartbreaking...💔😓💔😓💔
I still can’t believe they’re gone. I know Brian misses them as much as we do 😢💔
@@daniellavaladez7820 Probably more so.

@@stevelackovic124 I'm not sure whether Dennis knew what was coming, but premonition does exist.
Dennis absolutely smashing the drums on Dance Dance Dance!!
All us 60's Shindiggers know how especially great this video is. Thanks for your gift.
Great to see all these life performances!!
I love these old live( or nearly) performances. I like to see Brian enjoying performing and love the great sound.
I've never seen Brian smiling so much on stage! He was happy and really rockin. You could see the love he had for all his bandmates, who turned their music into magic!
Dennis was so good looking.
Brian was so gorgeous
Oh yea!
mike's vocals in monster mash was actually really cool
Honestly, it's the most animated I've ever seen him from any of those early performances XD
I really strongly dislike Mike Love but I have to give him credit where it’s due, that was a good frontman performance
I'm 70 and they were my favorite band.
What a magical compilation of the early BB total immersion love it
This is the best bb video out there
I was 5 when they came out. Growing up in Southern CA. My older bros were teenagers they would also go see these guys play. Later years working in the music biz in Hollywood i would meet most of the guys. Brian was borderline musical genius. The harmonies. Mike on vocals. Incredible! Memories 🎶🎶🎶
really great to see these young guys. voices are so impeccable, sound great.
There hearts were full of Spring (and Christmas.)
Wonderful memories....thank you
That was really good and I'm surprised that Mike showing so much animation during the monster mash! They all did so well!
I was surprised to see Mike doing Monster Mash, must be one of his heroes! Lol!
So much freaking energy. That dudes face during Monster Mash is legitimately frightening
Group blessed with 5 lead singers.. & great musicians & song writers to boot.
Only thing - wish Carl had leads during this period. He didn’t start having regular leads until 1966.
Could you imagine seeing these cats at a house party in S.California in the 60's????
Alan Jardine was always the secret weapon of the Beach Boys..........P E R I O D.
I will call it a tie with Carl
And the only one still with his singing voice in his 80s.
These guys could really play live!
Yes they were extremely talented musically, vocally, and instrumentally. The music industry took advantage of that for $$$ early on and within about 1 year it drove Brian into mental breakdown sadly, demanding constant tours and 4-5 albums within 1964 with their Christmas Album the last before that fateful day..
Absolutely priceless. Love mikes monster 👹 mash❤
Anyone else get chills when Brian sings please let me wonder
Yeah, that's their boy band attraction-- ya gotta sing sweet for the girls.
All that whole culture is lost now; teen couples used to slow dance to "Warmth of the Sun," and shit like that. All gone now!
I do,his falsetto was second to none,superb tone
Carl also had a good voice
@@sebastiangiambo290 Yep,Carl had a great voice without doubt,its just that that gorgeous smile and the exquisite falsetto of Brian was mindblowing imo lol.I was entranced when he was on stage.
Brian's falsetto just makes me so emotional.
The Beach Boys were the first concert I went to and it was something to see
They were a band that could sing in their early days
Hey were my first concert experience too. Cardiff 1966
Wish I had seen them live!
For their age they can still sing
This was al made worthwhile just to see Brian singing "Papa Oooomow Mow". Really. Great garage band stuff there, Brian! And I didn't know Carl played a Rickenbacker, either. Nice.
I wish Al sang more. I love his voice.
I've lived in Cocoa Beach in the 60s and we always had fast cars and went to the Ron John's surf shop and played the Beach boys all the time.
They were so talented! I use to hear them on the radio when I was cruising on weekends.
To think they were just kids themselves. Great clips!
I know. Look at 18-22 year olds today and look at this... Makes you think real hard, huh???
This is good but the footage from the TAMI show movie is great to watch
‘Their Hearts Were Full of Spring’ shows such incredible vocal talent! Their blend, phrasing and vocal dynamics were utterly superb! I could listen to that song every day forever!
If there’s a heaven it will be me up there playin guitar surrounded by those Shindig Dancers!
LOL! What a great goal.
There is a heaven. ☺
Brian was great and of course the chicks loved Dennis
Together, they were the perfect storm!
Classic Beach Boys are Best thing that could happen to anyone who wants to dance 🇺🇸
Brian and co.... showing us all that is good about pop music...
Americana at its Best 🇺🇸 ♥️
the ultimate dream--- to sing this with the original beach boys on stage-- imagine the euphoria omg
dont care what anybody saids about it, but dennis was a damn good drummer
He is very underrated as a good drummer. Thank you.
Just because he wasn’t as technical with technique and fills as some other drummers doesn’t take away what his drumming added to the music. And that’s what makes a good drummer.
December 23, 1964
April 21, 1965
Good job putting this all together! Nice!
Omg I'd be going crazy if I was there
Give a shout-out to the Go Go Dancers! And the a capella harmonizing on "Hearts filled with Spring."
I could do without them. They are really distracting, and I'd much rather watch just the boys! 😊
so good - they rock !
Lol Mike actually did really well on Monster Mash - very good version.
Yeah I have seen a video of the guy who sings it on here and it’s pretty similar
Great live performance The Boys at there best 👌
Solid. Tight. Fun. Amazing.
That first song was a jam. These guys were good.
My unscientific observation is that you can tell which songs are live and which ones are recorded based on Dennis Wilson's energy.
Why are only some live?
@@marioa.8131some were much more complicated and involved crucial instruments that The Beach Boys didn’t play on stage, so they sorta just faked it with a backing track but sang actual vocals
Awesome! Thanks for posting. 👍
Brian was the nerd in a study group.... he was the one who did the homework and is so amazing
Fabulous thanks 😊
Great vid and really enjoy The Beach Boys, right up there with the boys from Jersey better known as the 4 Seasons.
Dance dance dance. I like that song. I'm over the place when I listen to it. Today albums was a cool one. Mike Love was singing reason for the season at the CAC with this one..with Bruce and the crew.
Claramente, una de las mejores bandas de la historia. 🎸
I can't hardly believe it, I actually used to dance like that, too!
Really digging Mikes performance on Long Tall Texan.
Great job! Thanks for uploading!
Yes always great to see Brian In the young days.
It’s hilarious how all the girls scream every time the camera shows Dennis.
Haha big grin from him.
Wow. That’d give you a big ego eventually wouldn’t it ? And if a no / you’d be so used to hearing yes that you couldn’t cope with it. Guess he did as good as he could do.
I like him very much & admire his work with The Beach Boys & music after that. ♥️ Personally I think he was underrated with his music skill.
Mike Love invented the Moonwalk 17:37
I think he got that move from James Brown.
That monster mash was drugs. LOL!! 😂😂😂 Enjoyed songs I’d never heard before. 🙏
This was to be the unknown close of the 'golden era'. Brian was to totally relinquish is role as leader. Things would never be the same following this.
Most of those songs they played live. A rare occurrence on those shows and they did it and so well.
Love little Saint Nick so much. My favourite Christmas song of all time
This is gold all the way!
Mike Love was a show pony.Brian was always the star of the show
Ya had to have Mike for live shows.
Mike was a solid bass. When the bass singer goes out of tune, everything falls apart. He didn't.
Have to agree to disagree I am afraid...imo Brian was the Beachboys,he is not regarded as a genius by his music peers for nothing,any singer could have replaced Mike,he had a very nasally run of the mill voice
I think Dennis had a better voice than Mike actually
Yep Mike and his cringe worthy dances were fun to watch
Killing it
Al is replacing David Marks who played rhythm guitar in the first four albums so I've always wondered what the Beach Boys sound like with Dave and Carl instead of al and Carl playing guitar , and unfortunately other than a recording at the Azusa Boys Club which is very early, we have no recordings of the band before David left and Al rejoined.

Boy their history is complicated but there's no doubt that they are rocking here in this configuration as well.
I saw THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERs dancing on the first song 🧡
This is the first rime I heard the beachboys sing a Christmas song live
there is one full lip sync.. do u wanna dance.... live vocals with backing track..dance dance dance and rhonda.. the rest are all live playing and singing.... this has the best version of hearts are full of spring ive ever heard..!!.. check carl wilsons guitar playing... very cool but it could have been...LOUDER...LOL.. also check out the 4 song set on tami show video + lost concert videos.. full show.. BB can sing and play with the best of them...!! including brit invasion 1964...
They had a live singing way better than The Beatles, Beach Boys always were better singing live than them.
Mike Live had the nasal twang of a country singer and his dance moves were cringe worthy ,admit it.
Mike love live I meant lol..not a Mike Love fan as you can tell.
Please let me wonder is mimed. Fun fun fun is awesome
Please let me wonder also has backing vocals.
It’s so embarrassing to see these people “dance”, and remember I was one of them occasionally!
There’s just something about Brian’s mature smooth sexy voice that has lots of range & Availability. Very attractive. ♥️♥️🧸
Mike Love was a great frontman!
Awesome
Are the Shindig Hullabaloo shows available anywhere on DVD? Love to own that collection! Im 74 loved all thoseprograms as a teenager.

I Love this song especially Brian and his falsetto hes truely a Genus and Loved by many ❤🩹
After reading several Beach Boys biographies I'm convinced that Mike Love is an interloper.
Hmmm? He was there from the beginning , how could he be an interloper?
