Description:

The Beach Boys, one of the leading bands of the West Coast music scene in the U.S., had many hit songs that incorporated the youth culture of the time. As the band grew musically, they had a profound influence on Japanese artists such as Tatsuro Yamashita, Eiichi Otaki, and Keisuke Kuwata. In March 1980, the band released "Keepin' The Summer Alive", the last album with the original members. With the release of "Keepin' The Summer Alive" in March 1980, the band began a limited tour of the United States. The Philadelphia concert on April 18, 1980, was recorded and broadcast for the popular American radio program "King Biscuit Flower Hour," and this is the first CD to be released using the broadcast recordings. This live album is a complete recording of the concert, and consists of songs from the new album as well as representative songs from previous albums.Key member Brian Wilson, despite his mental problems due to drugs, gives a solid performance here, and this is definitely the best live album by The Beach Boys at this point in their career!
