The live stuff is nearly always a disappointment.
Now I've really put the cat among the pigeons!

I agree, but I think noone will deny that the Beach Boys are essentially a studio band, beyond enjoying their live recordings or not.

Of course they sounded better in the studio. If you record your songs with doubled or triple tracked harmonies and with a couple dozen of the best session musicians around in the studio, it's going to be hard to make those songs sound just as good on stage. But I do think that especially 'Live in London' and 'In Concert' are well worth hearing and certainly not "a mess".

I dont know about The Beach Boys Ive never heard them live, The Beatles were a quality live act, only let down by the equipment, set-up etc available in the early 60s.
By the time technology had moved on they'd given up playing live.
this is great..

In almost evry later video when george does his leads, the camera goes off to something else! The police in this case. Hey Bulldog the solo goes to an acoustic double exposure so you dont actually see any of the performances. Very strange and disapointing.

love how Ringo lets rip during the last few bars of LTS, pity the camera moves away from him as well :D
