They got paid in the local currency at the end of the show. This couldn't be converted to USD so they had to spend all the money inside the country inclothes, food etc before they left Checoslováquia.
Here´s a short news about man Mr. Sís who arranged the gigs. www.idnes.cz/kultura/literatura/pred-beach-boys-utekl-petr-sis-na-wc.A071128_145707_literatura_ob He is writing about how beachboys convert Czecho. crowns for crystal, and this fella Mr. Sís hid in the toilet.
Ive seen this on the An American Band video from the 1980s - it would be awesome if someone had the whole show - though I suspect this is mostly silent movie footage synched up with some live audio - as opposed to a broadcast (like Olympia in France) - there must be some more whole shows that were broadcast...
it looks like this is just silent footage unfortunately, but there could be more sitting somewhere in a vault. It could have also been discarded on the cutting room floor though
There is a comment on here saying this was actually in 1968. So Czech commenters, was this before or after Prague Spring??!! Either way, this clip is an amazing piece of history.
June 1969, so after the invasion. Apart from Prague (June 17), they had gigs in Bratislava (June 18) and Brno (June 19). The main clampdown came after 1 year anniversary protests in August 69 and it only went downhill from there.
Well, they do make mistakes. It is a lovely piece of BB history and how the band progressed under the wonderfully professional Carl Wilson's leadership.
I did read Tom Stoppard wrote a script about pop music in this country and I believe he did make mention of the BB briefly but concentrated on The Beatles. I did not do any research on this as to when The Beatles were there but I am sure someone else will know and inform me.
Well, The Beatles stopped touring in 1966, so if they ever were there, it was far before even the Prague spring. The Beach Boys however, were definitely there in 1969. Break Away wasn't written until early 1969, so there's zero chance it was performed in 1968.
For those of you who don't remember the Cold War, one of the realities of living behind the Iron Curtain was that pop music from the West was not allowed. It was seen as counter-revolutionary and decadent. It also posed the risk of giving young people a view of the outside world and giving them cultural and political ideas which might threaten the regime. The last thing they would have wanted was an import 1960s counter-culture. You ran the risk of going to prison for playing a Beach Boys or Pink Floyd album and having somebody inform on you. You could not buy this media in the shops anyway. When things started to become more liberal in Czechoslovakia in 1968, bands from the West did play there, the Beach Boys three times in fact. The Moody Blues were in Prague at the same time as the Beach Boys. There is a video of them miming to one of their tracks on a bridge on the 20th of August, but they did not get to perform live because the Russians invaded the next day. People were killed, the government was placed under arrest and a repressive regime was placed in power. There would have been no possibility of a pop outfit from the West being able to perform. Czechoslovakia was not a nice place to be after the invasion, so the happy atmosphere recorded in this concert and the Moody Blues TV appearance quite obviously took place during the Prague Spring and after it.

Not with the Russians in complete control since August 21st 1968. No chance of a band from the West playing there after that. www.europopmusic.eu/Newsletters/Features/Protest_68/1968_in_Czechoslovakia.html
It's your own fault you don't believe this. They were really here in 1969. Mike Love mentioned Alexander Dubček, one of 1968 Prague Spring leaders, on the stage, because he did not know he was off of the power at that time.
I think you might not remember the Cold War. Western pop music was simply not allowed behind the Iron Curtain. People may have played it very cautiously and in private, but you could not buy it, except maybe through the black market. You ran the risk of going to prison because of music. The Russians saw Western pop music as decadent and counter-revolutionary. The ideas expressed in pop music would not have been congruent with Communism at all and actually threatened it. The Russians actually invaded Czechoslovakia and locked the place down because it was becoming too free. The very notion of a band then being able to come from the West and play there would have been impossible. Mike Love asked about Dubcek because by the summer of 1968 the political situation was getting tense there. Dubcek was definitely out of power by 1969, demoted to forestry official, no need to ask if he was in power any longer. The Russians unbent sufficiently to allow MOR covers big band leader James Last to play in the USSR by 1972, but that was it as far as popular entertainment from outside was allowed. The Beach Boys played three concerts during the Prague Spring which co-incided with the visit of the Moody Blues, right before the invasion. They could not then play live because then the Russians arrived on the 21st of August 1968. There is a video of them miming to a track for Czech TV the day before the invasion. www.nakedtourguideprague.com/the-spring-when-the-moody-blues-came-to-prague/

@@dutchgoing You're wrong. 1) The Beach Boys played "Breakaway" during the Czechoslovak concerts. In 1968? Nonsense. 2) The support bands were The Blue Effect (which was formed in the Autumn of 1968, not earlier) and Progress Organization (which debuted live in April 1969). 3) And Western music not allowed behind the Iron Curtain... OK then, it was VERY LIMITED. But, these Western artists performed in Czechoslovakia: Louis Armstrong (1965), Manfred Mann (1965), "American Folk Blues Festival" (Sleepy John Estes, Yank Rachell, Buddy Guy, Sippie Wallace, Otis Rush, Big Joe Turner) (1966), The Shadows (1968), The Easybeats (1968), Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and The Trinity (1968), The Nice (1968), Ella Fitzgerald (1969), Les Reed (1969), The Tremeloes (1969), Colosseum (1969), Cliff Richard (1970), Gilbert Bécaud (1970), Oscar Petersen & Count Basie (1974), Boney M (1977), Johnny Cash (1978), Suzi Quatro (1979), Ray Charles (1981), Tina Turner (1981), Billy Preston (1981), Amanda Lear (1982), Smokie (1983), Elton John (1984), Donovan (1984), John Mayall (1985), Depeche Mode (1988), Stevie Wonder (1989), UB40 (1989).
No, its 1969 The Beach Boys played an historic concert at Lucerna Hall in Prague in May of 1969 and dedicated their song "Break Away" to recently replaced Prague Spring reformer Dubcek who sat in the audience.
