The Beach Boys

In 2013, The Beach Boys were celebrating their 50th anniversary, a nostalgic moment for a band that had created timeless classics like 'Good Vibrations' and 'Surfin' USA.' Before the live recording of 'Kokomo' at Maddie's Place in Kahnawake, Canada, their latest studio album, 'That's Why God Made the Radio' (released in June 2012), marked their return to recording after a long hiatus. This album was notable not just for its new music but for bringing together Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks, making it a significant moment in the band's legacy. The Kahnawake concert showcased this reunion, delivering a vibrant performance that encapsulated the band’s enduring appeal and their ability to connect with audiences across generations. What a joy it must have been for fans to hear the harmonies of a band that shaped the sound of surf rock while celebrating their remarkable journey!
