Beach Boys - Surf's Up [Live at Princeton, 11/13/71] video free download

Paul Jenkins

Wow, they really ruined the song at the end with that strangely wrong ending chord, like an insipid game show coming in out of nowhere.

Lil' story.....In 1969 I toured with beach boys in England for a few shows(London Palladium etc.)..One night back at the hotel around a piano, the guys (and Peter Noone) started singing this song and "God only Knows" and I actually said....... (I swear on my brother's memory this is true) "Hey guys why don't we try a different harmony , I think I got something!.... I got a look from everyone around the piano that I'll never forget and I thought to myself at that moment, as long as I live, this will be the f**k**g dumbest thing I've ever said!!)....true story.

I wish they would have performed this song more often.......absolutely beautiful

This is great

Adam Ziegler

your courage is much appreciated. This is the best version of Surfs Up I've ever heard. Those piano chords are hauntingly beautiful.

Randy Smith

To those of you who enjoy this, thanks. To the few who flame it, get a job. It's not a soundboard-the BB did not, like the Dead, give access to their concert tapes. Gimme a break-it's a 42 year old concert! I and a friend recorded this on an old Teac deck. The mics were hung with the lighting near stage front. We did the best we could. Despite some distortion through the levels, it had a good "live" sound overall. It was not for profit, but just for the listener's pleasure...

Nick Maas

How I would have loved to have seen this.

nope

Those piano chords are heaven. My goodness.

Oh I have to agree with everything you said here. There live shows were fantastic and the new material was great. I wish they would have continued in this vein. Surfs Up is still my favorite album by them.

I have this bootleg. It is an awesome show. I saw them a week later at Masonic Auditorium in Detroit and they were unbelievable there. That was 19 November (a Friday, I remember it well) . We snuck in a cassette player and I still have that recording. I thought the Detroit show was better. The Surfs Up material was great. I miss Carl Wilson terribly. His guitar playing was magnificent.

mike love ruined this version with his tamborine playing. it's supposed be sleigh bells with accent every 4 beats like Jeff Foskett plays in the Brian Wilson band.

Lousy mix, the horns overide the harmonies. And what's with the ending?

A broken man too tough to cry? Not here. My heart just melted. Beautiful live version. Find me a Beatles' melody that touches this.

Fantastic live version of one of Brian's and Parks' best. Thanks for sharing, Mega. Peace.

Adam Tobin

some songs were better than what the Beatles put out

Adam Tobin

as a longtime, diehard Beach Boys fan, this stuff is the real deal. The early surfing era Beach Boys are amazing, don't get me wrong, but their progressive era (66-73) is by far the best the Boys had to offer. 1971/72/73 were definitely their best years in terms of live performances. I love discovering more bootlegged material from their early 70s shows.
