The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys Live Performance of California Girls and Getcha Back in Utica, NY
In February 1987, The Beach Boys performed at the Utica Memorial Auditorium, showcasing their enduring charm and harmonies. Just a few years prior, in 1985, the band released 'The Beach Boys,' marking a significant return after a brief hiatus from the limelight. This self-titled album included the hit 'Getcha Back,' which was a key part of their 1987 setlist, showing their ability to bridge classic sounds with contemporary vibes. Interestingly, the live recording encapsulates not just their musical prowess but also highlights the evolution of their live performances, merging nostalgia with a fresh energy that resonated with fans. This concert is a perfect snapshot of a band that, despite the ups and downs, always managed to keep the spirit of summer alive, even in the depths of winter!
