The Beach Boys Live: California Girls and More from Paleo Festival, Nyon, Switzerland

Venue: La Prairie de Colovray Location: Nyon, Vaud, Switzerland Date: July 23, 1987

In July 1987, The Beach Boys performed live at the Paleo Festival in Nyon, Switzerland, showcasing their iconic sounds. Leading up to this moment, they had released 'The Beach Boys' (1985), a self-titled album that marked a resurgence in their career, blending their classic harmonies with contemporary production styles. This period highlighted their ability to adapt while still honoring their roots; they had also enjoyed some commercial success with singles like 'California Dreamin'' from earlier work. Interestingly, Brian Wilson's presence at this festival marked a significant moment in a long journey of personal and professional highs and lows for the band. Despite their ups and downs, this live performance reflected their enduring legacy and the timeless appeal of surf rock.
