I too am 77 years old and when I was in my teens, and the Beatles were king over here in the uk. I was listening to the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson was a genius ! I am still digging up old albums that have committed to CD. The Beach Boys concert is one of my favourites. It was live from the Civic auditorium in Sacramento ! For me - they were my favourites from the sixties !
1st concert was at the mem.auditorium when they happened to record the live album... incredible, loved them so much...my nephew and I, sat way up on the side and sang every song...RIP Wilson bros. And thank for the misic.....
The Beach Boys were about the beach early on in their career, but they are at the pinnacle of Harmony groups. Brian Wilson, their founder, is by many considered to be the musical genius of this era.
the whole "pet sounds" album was revolutionary.it wasnt the "usual" beach boys sound.but extremely introspectful.a good album to listen to when your down in the dumps.MANY dont like it because of that reason.but i think its brilliant.& solidified my belief brian wilson was & is a musical genious.
Went I 12 old , in 1964 the hole family went on a summer vacation. It's was Pensacola Florida, my ante Gail was playing the Beach Boys all day long, she made me dance with her, every body was dancing to the Beach Boys music, eating fresh fish, picking oranges on the trees, swimming in the ocean, playing in the white sand. I will never forget it.
Brian Wilson went into the studio with an orchestra and put together the basics of this album almost single handed. He didn't add the rest of the band till later. Absolute genius.
I grew up with The Beach Boy's music & had a lot of their records. Brian Wilson was the genius songwriter of the group. They span many decades but I love their early stuff from the 60's-70's. Their music conveys such happy innocent days of youth (surfing, cars, romance). They had tons of hits such as "Surfin' U.S.A.", "Surfin' Safari", "I Get Around", "California Girls", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Barbara Ann", "Sloop John B.", "Fun Fun Fun", "Little Deuce Coupe", "God Only Knows", "In My Room", "Good Vibrations" etc.
Great reaction, thanks. I grew up in Southern California and they were a big hit there. When I went to the beach at night we had a party and played them over and over.
From that first (real;) bass drop, this was & is one of the best songs out there! Thanks for bringin' Our Boys back around the block! 🎵 "Wish we didn't have to wait so long!" 🤞
Beautiful reaction, Sarah! ❤ Yes, it's a phenomenal tune .. one of many from the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" album, which The Beatles said prompted them to up their game when it came to recording "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." 😁 A couple other gems from the same Beach Boys album are "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations." 👍
That's not correct - FM had been in existence for some time, and I remember as a 16 year old in 1966 listening to what was called an "underground" station on FM which played all kinds of genres within one program. You could hear The Beatles, John Coltrane, Bach, Love with Arthur Lee, Hank Williams, Muddy Waters, and on and on. That station shaped the way I've listened to music ever since - across all genres from all over the world.
@@barrycowan3540 I stand corrected. Research tells me that it was quite expensive to own back in the late 50’s and early 60’s. By the late 60’s you could buy an FM tuner for like $50-$60. I first heard FM back in 1968. It was, like you said, pretty much album oriented. That’s when I heard the Moody Blues album “In Search of the Lost Chord”. We are pretty close age wise. I was 15 in 1966. Again, I stand corrected.🙂↕️
@@chrisjenkins6120 Actually FM broadcasting has been around since abt 1940 or so. It didn't really get much listenership till after WWII and frequencies where changed from what was known as the FM50 band to the FM100 band which is what we use now. So we are talking 1946-47 for the 1st FM broadcast sets. Stereo didn't come along till the early '60s even though stereo recording had been around several before.
You’ve likely heard snippets just being out in the world, and it’s almost certainly been used in films - this is one of their best and most beloved tracks. I was only 11 in 1965 and I liked but didn’t follow them - they were certainly on the airwaves so I heard them everywhere. Years later -I don’t remember exactly, I was 17-22 -I was walking Miami beach and walked by someone playing them loudly: I suddenly “got them” like a bolt of lightning, recognising their genius at expressing what it FELT like to be alive in that moment in American culture. Your emotional reaction was exactly right, one has to let go of skepticism and cynicism and be open to joy and the optimism of youth especially. This is a great illustration how pop was mostly aimed at teenagers then: a high schooler wishing he and his girlfriend could live together, imagining their happy future 🥰
Interesting fact. The only member of the band that actually used a surfboard and actually surfed was the drummer, Dennis Wilson, Brian's brother. The irony is he drowned after an all day alcohol binge
i could tell you enjoyed this song. its why im 60 & still listen to oldies, there's VERY little negativity in it. theres so much negativity in the world allready.i dont need it filling my head & turning me the same way.oldies music still has a sence of innocence in it.perhaps it brings out what innocence we still have deep inside our souls.
@@Dan-mi7hn all of the car stuff was a bit too gimmicky. I actually think some of that hurt them a little bit. They're still great but I can't get past the gimmicky feel of their early stuff
You need to watch the movie 'Love and Mercy'. It's about the pressures Brian Wilson was under to create hit music and led to his drug abuse, depression, and manipulation.
I know it's a losing argument but I think It's either you love it or you hate it. It's a bit too much throw away material in there for me. It was a mistake not to include Good Vibrations, one of the greatest songs of all time on it. That might have changed it for me But even then still a stretch.
My first experience with The Beach Boys was a prize for winning a contest I received The Beach Boys Greatest Hits LP. I was a kid then and hearing them always brings me to that memory. I wore that album out. Thanks for this reaction Sarah.
Beach Boys have always made me happy and FAV song is Kokomo! It made an impact in my childhood brain that would go off to daydream land of beautiful tropical island with crystal clear water resting on a beach sipping a piña colada as waves slowly crash onto shore 🏝️, feeling a million miles away from anything I’ve ever known in my life experience. It will happen ❤ I think bc the song starts off wi/Aruba start & chorus: “Aruba, Jamaica, ohh I want to take ya, Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama, Key Largo, Montego, Baby why don’t we go, we’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow, that’s where we want to go, way down in Kokomo” Aruba is one of my three destination goals in my life. Kokomo is a pretty above unusual catchy dreamy tune but it’s a song that is written in a way that names a place that doesn’t exist but drops names & imagery of tropical islands but if you really listen, they are never specific and that’s intentional so YOU can have to island getaway fantasy that you come up with and it is dif for everyone (My other 2 of 3 bucket list places are Paris, France and see the little towns I don’t ever hear about. Meet the people. Have some wine and Egypt, must see pyramids of Giza and so many more amazing astonishing parts of our human history with such mystery to this day)
Please do more Beach Boys! Some suggestions: “I Can Hear Music”, “Sloop John B”, “Do It Again”, “Sail On Sailor “, “Help Me Rhonda”………can’t go wrong! 😁😉👍
You probably heard this song in the movie "50 First Dates" (with Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore). Drew Barrymore's character sings this song very loudly and exuberantly while she is painting her mural on the wall!❤💛💚
Nice! When you're ready for more from The Beach Boys check out "Don't Worry Baby", "I Get Around", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Surf City", "Catch a Wave", "Fun, Fun, Fun", and their masterpiece, "Good Vibrations" (if you haven't already).
You can hear how the Beatles were influenced by these guys...well, Brian's production values. This was pretty amazing for back then and for this type of music.
Do you like THE BEACH BOYS? So I recommend you listen to "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations" which, according to THE BEATLES, are the two most beautiful songs to have been composed (by the brilliant Brian Wilson) and recorded since the beginning of pop rock. And this is not just the opinion of the members of THE BEATLES. These two songs are almost unanimous. Three groups revolutionized the sound of pop rock to the point of becoming references, the 3B's: - THE BEATLES - THE BEACH BOYS - THE BEE GEES Three sound signatures that have become timeless.
Glad you enjoyed this song.I was a mere child in the 60s but can say I enjoyed being a child back before what we are exposed to today. I can only pray American wakes up and one day finds out again its greatest investment should be American again!
Hey, for my upcoming 66th Birthday on June 26, how about a reaction video to the 1967 song, CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION by Tommy James & The Shondells? Can't beat a Birthday shout out from Frau Denglar! Thanks. Hope you can make it happen!
This 77 yr old will never tire of hearing The Boys. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. 😊

Listening to the Beach Boys is like opening a can of sunshine.
Well said, friend.
I feel that the world hasn't gone completely crazy when someone can react like that to the Beach Boys all these years later.
the whole "pet sounds" album was revolutionary.it wasnt the "usual" beach boys sound.but extremely introspectful.a good album to listen to when your down in the dumps.MANY dont like it because of that reason.but i think its brilliant.& solidified my belief brian wilson was & is a musical genious.

I will never forget it.
That's the face of pure joy. What a time it was. Music didn't have to be heavy or serious. It could be light and fun, and make you want to dance.
Brian Wilson went into the studio with an orchestra and put together the basics of this album almost single handed. He didn't add the rest of the band till later. Absolute genius.
There's a reason the Beach Boys are often considered the greatest American band of all-time. I am not sure how they could NOT be considered that.
Doors
Absolutely my # 1 US band. No question.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee don't think so,I see them with the Doors and Birds
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee yes makes some sense
Creedence, maybe, but the Beach Boys are right up there.
I grew up with The Beach Boy's music & had a lot of their records. Brian Wilson was the genius songwriter of the group. They span many decades but I love their early stuff from the 60's-70's. Their music conveys such happy innocent days of youth (surfing, cars, romance).

Your joy was just fantastic. My personal favorite Beach Boys song is "I get Around"
The Wilson harmonies kill
Great reaction, thanks. I grew up in Southern California and they were a big hit there. When I went to the beach at night we had a party and played them over and over.
Your smiles make me happy! Thank you very much for sharing joy on the Internet. We need more content creators like you! ❤
From that first (real;) bass drop, this was & is one of the best songs out there! Thanks for bringin' Our Boys back around the block! 🎵 "Wish we didn't have to wait so long!" 🤞

Sarah It make me smile and Happy at your genuine response. IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE OUR MUSIC welcome sister to AMERICA YOUR awesome and most welcome kid.
You always exude such joy!
I lived in Massachusetts and subscribed to a surfing magazine because of the Beach Boys.
One of the great masterpieces of pop/rock music. Top 10 of all-time.
Your smile always makes me smile 😊
Sarah, I love how animated you got with this reaction. Please do more Beach Boys reactions!
🎼These guys recorded this in 1966! It was all over the AM radio stations. FM didn’t exist yet!

Beach Boys are one the 3 greatest American bands along with The Eagles and CCR.
Your reaction to this was magical. :)
So many great songs. Sloop john B is among my favorites. Someone below mentioned Love and Mercy - another great song
your smile is genuine AHHHHH I love young folks

When I was young I did not like The Beach Boys
The older I get the more I like The Beach Boys
they're not The Beatles, but they're pretty darn good
@@CharlieJ69 they are close
@@Dan-mi7hn all of the car stuff was a bit too gimmicky. I actually think some of that hurt them a little bit. They're still great but I can't get past the gimmicky feel of their early stuff
@@MidwestFarmToys yes that is right,Pet Sounds came later
When this song first came out it was amazing I listen to over and over again
Pet Sounds was their best album.
You need to watch the movie 'Love and Mercy'. It's about the pressures Brian Wilson was under to create hit music and led to his drug abuse, depression, and manipulation.
Thnx for the info.just bought it off eBay.👍
I loved it so much when I was 16 I still love it!!!!!❤️
Sarah, you should listen to the whole "pet sounds" album. Brian Wilson's work is sheer genius. 100% certain, you'd love it. Best album of all time.
I know it's a losing argument but I think It's either you love it or you hate it. It's a bit too much throw away material in there for me. It was a mistake not to include Good Vibrations, one of the greatest songs of all time on it. That might have changed it for me But even then still a stretch.

Fun Fact:This Was Originally Going To Be The Theme Song For Happy Days, They Used It For The Pilot But They Changed It For The Series Premiere
IMO the great BB tune. Truly sublime. Timeless.
Please do more Beach Boys! Some suggestions: “I Can Hear Music”, “Sloop John B”,
“Do It Again”, “Sail On Sailor “, “Help Me Rhonda”………can’t go wrong! 😁😉👍
A genuine heart warming reaction. You might want to listen to them sing "I Get Around" .
Great song
Nice reactions
“Good Vibrations “ my favorite Beach Boys song
One of the top ten GOAT LP's on the Rolling Stone/Billboard list.
You probably heard this song in the movie "50 First Dates" (with Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore). Drew Barrymore's character sings this song very loudly and exuberantly while she is painting her mural on the wall!❤💛💚
If you loved this, then PLEASE listen to their album, PET SOUNDS. It's all like this and makes you feel so full of hope and joy xx
Love the reaction! Made me happy!
I love your reaction! I recommend "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys.
Such a sweet reaction!❤
You are so cute !!! I'm 65 years old and have been listening to the Beach Boys my entire life !!!!!!!
Great memories.THANK YOU.
50 First Dates! You probably heard it there!
pure joy 😊!!
My favorite group, right up there qith Chicago!❤
Nice! When you're ready for more from The Beach Boys check out "Don't Worry Baby", "I Get Around", "Help Me, Rhonda", "Surf City", "Catch a Wave", "Fun, Fun, Fun", and their masterpiece, "Good Vibrations" (if you haven't already).
The Official sound summer…for kids in the 60’s! 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Beach Boys love song is Surfer Girl.
As great as the song is it was made greater by watching your reaction. I love you, Sarah.
I bet there's not a lot of today's music that make you feel this happy.
You cheer me up
I don't know about movies but this song has been used in commercials on television.
You really should listen to their song "Fun, Fun, Fun."
When they asked Brian Wilson where it all came from, he consistently said he had no idea, other than it was given to him by God.
Watch 50 First Dates if you haven't. ❤
Perfect song & movie suggestion! 🎵 🎥
My brain is so happy right now.
The Beach Boys and The Eagles are the most successful American Rock’N’Roll bands.
Love your joyful reactio ns sarah
Check out their masterpiece, “Good Vibrations” and “God Only Knows.”
This was in the movie "50 First Dates". Perhaps you heard it there? If not, you should, it's an enjoyable movie.
You can hear how the Beatles were influenced by these guys...well, Brian's production values. This was pretty amazing for back then and for this type of music.
моя птичка, такая красивая! умнича ведёт контент! это оень крто! смотрю с удовольствием!

For further jaw dropping- try the a capella version. It's around on YT
Have you heard Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys? You'd love it.

This song is genius. Although the Beatles are given more credit, this is a song they could not have come up with in 100 years.
Glad you enjoyed this song.I was a mere child in the 60s but can say I enjoyed being a child back before what we are exposed to today. I can only pray American wakes up and one day finds out again its greatest investment should be American again!
I love the joy you expressed listening to the Beach Boys. Please react to God Only Knows. It's even better. ❤❤❤
Try 'God Only Knows". You'll like it.
I’m more hooked on Sarah than the music!! 🤣😂
high as hell
next try 'god only knows' !!!!!
Kid reaction I'm an old guy and I remember when this came out it was great hit
I was a freshman in high school when the Beatles came over here. Trust me Girl, you missed a lot of good music!
Excellent ❤
Try other songs from them I Can Hear Music or Sloop John B, the harmonies are incredible and beautiful.
Great reaction! No do The Beach Boys' - God Only Knows.
Poor Dennis and Carl.
BB are a gas
Hey, for my upcoming 66th Birthday on June 26, how about a reaction video to the 1967 song, CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION by Tommy James & The Shondells? Can't beat a Birthday shout out from Frau Denglar! Thanks. Hope you can make it happen!
makes sorry
C'mon, get off the fence. Did you like it? 😁 As to your enthusiastic response... I understand.
I dont really dig the Beach Boys, but this one is great.
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
That video is, for the most part, just an annoying distraction.
Also, God Only Knows.
Listen to this again without this silly video. It's my favorite BB song.!
