The Beach Boys

By December 1986, The Beach Boys were riding a wave of nostalgia as they approached the 25th anniversary of their formation. Just before this live rehearsal at Waikiki Shell, they had released 'The Beach Boys' a year earlier in 1985, showcasing their enduring harmonies and classic sound. At this point, they were capitalizing on both their legacy and the revival of interest in surf rock. Interestingly, the concert was part of a special celebration; it highlights how the group, despite the passage of time and changes in the music industry, maintained their relevance. These rehearsals offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their preparation, revealing both the excitement and the meticulousness involved, a testament to their dedication after decades of performing.
