The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys Live in New York performing Kokomo
By the time The Beach Boys performed live in New York in November 1998, they had just released their album 'Stars and Stripes Vol. 1' a few years earlier in 1996. This album marked a significant departure as it featured country artists reimagining classic Beach Boys songs. Interestingly, during this period, they were also celebrating over three decades of music, which led to a longstanding legacy that's still felt today. 'Kokomo,' the song associated with their 1988 album 'Still Cruisin',' was a beloved fan favorite that captured the band's sunny and upbeat spirit. The live concert offered a nostalgic trip down memory lane, showcasing not just their engaging harmonies, but also the evolution of their sound through the years, delighting fans in a city that thrives on live music.
