Live Performance of 'Kokomo' by Beach Boys featuring Christopher Cross

Venue: QVC Marine Field Location: Chiba, Chiba, Japan Date: August 16, 2012

By August 2012, The Beach Boys had reunited to celebrate their 50th anniversary, marking a significant moment in their career. Leading up to this live recording, they had released the album "That's Why God Made the Radio" in June 2012. This album was particularly noteworthy as it was their first studio album in over two decades to feature original material by the classic lineup, including Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks. The live performance in Kokomo, Japan, includes special guest Christopher Cross, showcasing their continued influence and appeal across generations. This concert not only highlighted their enduring popularity but also featured a blend of nostalgic hits and new material, symbolizing a celebratory return to form for the legendary band. The event encapsulated their ability to evolve while maintaining the charm and melodic harmonies that defined their early work.
