The Beach Boys Perform Kokomo Live at Universal Studios Florida
In April 2010, The Beach Boys performed 'Kokomo' live at Universal Studios in Orlando, capturing a nostalgic moment for fans of this iconic band. This performance came after their album 'That's Why God Made the Radio,' released in 2012, which marked their first studio album in over two decades. Interestingly, 'Kokomo,' originally released in 1988 on the compilation album 'Still Cruisin',' was written by John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas and became a signature song for the band, symbolizing the breezy California vibe for which they are celebrated. The live recording resonates with fans not just for the song itself but also as a testament to The Beach Boys' enduring legacy and ability to uplift spirits, embodying the essence of sun-soaked harmonies.
