Best live album ever!!!!
The Beach Boys · 5 likes
2/5
"a cohesive work with no filler tracks"?? Why's there so many duff fillers, then. This is below average tosh, and apart from a couple of tracks, not worth the time.

To be fair its not a bad song, but did they have to record it so many times?

The Yanks won't get this - brilliant, innovative, sometimes experimental, but always pure magic.

Just proves you can fool a lot of people some of the time.
