The Beach Boys

In June 1985, The Beach Boys were riding high on a wave of nostalgia and renewed popularity, having just released their album 'The Beach Boys' in 1985. This self-titled record included hits like 'Getcha Back,' which reflected their transition into the mid-80s pop sound. The Montgomery concert is notable as it showcased the band's enduring charm and tight harmonies, despite changes in the music landscape. Interestingly, this performance took place during a period when the group was celebrating its 20th anniversary, reminding fans of their impressive legacy. Additionally, it marked the return of Dennis Wilson, albeit briefly, after a decade of ups and downs. This concert not only highlights their classic surf sound but also reflects their adaptability, making it a unique performance in their long and storied career.
