Beach Boys Concert is the first

Endless Summer), as well as the first live album to top pop music record charts,[5]
maintaining its position for four weeks during a sixty-two-week chart stay, and becoming another gold seller.

The album was recorded live at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California, though it received heavy post-production treatment. Because Brian Wilson was about to vacate his position in the live group, and would only perform sporadically with them over the course of the next three decades, it is one of the few live documents of the original line-up of the Beach Boys that has been officially released.

In 2014, Live in Sacramento 1964 was released, containing additional performances from these concert dates.[6]

Recording

The album includes several songs that the Beach Boys regularly performed live but had not previously included on an album, such as "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena", "Long Tall Texan", "Monster Mash", "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow", "The Wanderer", "Graduation Day", and "Johnny B. Goode". Alongside those were a sampling of their hits, such as "Hawaii", "Fun, Fun, Fun", and "I Get Around". "Little Deuce Coupe", "In My Room", "Johnny B. Goode" and "Long Tall Texan" dated from the December 21, 1963 show.[7]

Variations

A truncated version was released on Pickwick Records as Wow! Great Concert! Beach Boys Concert (Capitol (S)TAO 2198) When their albums were remastered for CD in 1990 (and again in 2001), Beach Boys Concert was paired on CD with Live in London, with bonus tracks from both periods.
