The Beach Boys: Michigan University, 1966
























The Beach Boys

In 1964, Brian quit touring with the band for reasons that have been written about more than one would could care to count. However, he did come back for a few concerts in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell for a week and replacing Bruce Johnston for a show or two.

The more prominent return he made to the stage until the 1967 shows was to the Michigan concerts. He personally flew to Michigan from Los Angeles to produce the concert and rehearsed the band for the live premiere of "Good Vibrations." He also came out for a surprise performance and played on "Johnny B. Goode" with the rest of the band.

Sound-wise, the recording is top notch. The sounds are very crisp and clear and seem to be professionally recorded. Although, there isn't any strong evidence for a commercial release of this album in 1966, the evidence points toward the possibilities.
