194B. BEACH BOYS MANAGER FRED VAIL REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE BEACH BOYS’ CONCERT

from Discograffiti · host David Gebroe

Welcome to Discograffiti’s exploration of The Beach Boys’ classic first live album, discussed with the man responsible for it in the first place: the great Fred Vail. In this episode, Fred and I talk about how he initially got involved with The Beach Boys, the noticeable lack of live albums in the early rock and roll era, how each of the band members wound up changing, the last time he ever saw the original Beach Boys live on stage, how it felt to witness the writing of “The Warmth Of The Sun,” and whether that happened before or after JFK was assassinated.   Listen: linktr.ee/discograffiti   I support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.   Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week!) of must-hear binge-listening: https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti   It’s completely free to be a basic member, $1 to get your backstage pass, $5/month for the Sunday show by & for our community, $10 for early release, ad-free, super-extended Director's Cuts of the main show plus half our Patreon episode archive, & $20 for Discograffiti’s bonus episodes and our entire Patreon episode archive.
