The Beach Boys Live in Biarritz, France featuring Scott Totten on Lead Guitar

Venue: Parc des sports d'Aguiléra Location: Biarritz, Aquitaine, France Date: July 15, 2001

In July 2001, The Beach Boys delivered a live performance at the Parc des sports d'Aguiléra in Biarritz, France. This concert came after the release of their album "Stars and Stripes Vol. 1" in 1996, which featured collaborations with various country artists reimagining classic Beach Boys hits. By this time, the band had evolved significantly, embracing not just new musical influences but also different band members, including lead guitarist Scott Totten, who made his debut with the group on this tour. The performance showcases their enduring charm and harmonies, even years after their peak in the 1960s, reminding audiences why they remain iconic in pop culture. Interesting tidbit: this concert was part of a wave of international tours that helpedrevitalize their legacy and connect with new generations.
