The Beach Boys

Before the live recording of "Kokomo" in Westbury on November 30, 2016, The Beach Boys had just released their studio album "No Pier Pressure" in 2015. This album showcased the band's classic harmonies while also experimenting with modern sounds, even featuring guest appearances from artists like John Stamos, who’s notably been involved with the band for years. It's fascinating to see how their music evolved over the decades, considering that "Kokomo," first released in 1988 and later included in their live repertoire, became a cultural phenomenon synonymous with laid-back summer vibes. By the time of this performance, the band had transitioned into a legacy act, but the joy and nostalgia they evoke in their live shows remain infectious, reminding us of their enduring influence on pop music.
