The Beach Boys Live Performance of Barbara Ann with Choir in Laval, Canada

Venue: Espace Montmorency Location: Laval, Quebec, Canada Date: June 19, 2011

In June 2011, The Beach Boys delivered a lively performance of 'Barbara Ann' featuring John Stamos at the Mondial Choral Laval in Quebec, Canada. At this point in their career, the band was celebrating their 50th anniversary and had recently released 'The SMiLE Sessions' in late 2011, a long-awaited album revisiting sessions from the '60s. This recording is particularly special as it showcases the group's enduring harmonies and the addition of a choir, highlighting their iconic sound in a live setting. Moreover, Stamos, not just a fan but also a frequent collaborator, brought his own flair to the performance, which adds a delightful twist to the nostalgic melody. This combination of nostalgia and new energy perfectly encapsulates The Beach Boys' evolving legacy.
