The Beach Boys Concert History

In the early 1960s, The Beach Boys emerged as one of the most influential rock & roll bands in history. With songs like "Surfin'" (1961), "Surfin' Safari" (1962), "Surfin' USA" (1963), and other surf-influenced singles, The Beach Boys quickly developed a reputation as the world's leading surf rock-pop group, differentiating itself drastically from other popular rock bands of the 1960s, like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. However, The Beach Boys are more than just a surfer band. Over the last few decades, the band has experimented with many genres, including traditional rock & roll, R&B, pop, jazz, psychedelia, punk, lo-fi, progressive rock, and more. Today, The Beach Boys are considered one of the most commercially successful, critically acclaimed, and longest-lasting bands in recent music history. For over six decades, the band has continued touring and releasing new music for fans to enjoy.
