The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda (Live on The Andy Williams Show, 1965) 

He looks like a dentist

Yes, he was the one who was not a family member; Mike Love was a cousin of the Wilsons'

@@aunch3 he went to pre dental school or something like that

Al is my favorite

@@Newsiesfan953 Did he sing lead on anything but Help Me Rhonda?

you didn't realize that?

@@gerrydooley951 Nope. I'd never watched a truly "live" performance of theirs before. I always liked their music but was never what you'd call a big fan.

@@jcc2c22 watch the Tami show

I Heard a noise

Their guitars are not plugged in,, duh

And he still nails it today, 58 years later.

@@patriciacarey1741 agreed.

THE DENTIST!

I was thinking the same thing. I loved this song when it first came out and now that am 76 I love it even more. 2:37

Только в студии они хороши.

it's amazing how tight they are....and they look so happy here......

They were really singing!

Special song. I have heard it a few times also. I was also a teenager in the 60s. There was no time like the 60s and 70s.

Je crois que Al Jardine était un voisin. Il a remplacé Brian Wilson qui ne souhaitait faire que la production.

Was that at Refections ? Tickets were 5 bucks! Some where around 1970!

and this was one of Al's first leads

And he still has them

He tours with his son and they put on a fantastic show. He tells the stories of the Beach Boy songs he performs and his son can sing the amazing falsettos.

@@lucaserojasabsolutely. Saw him with his son and his band last summer and they were amazing.

@@ronwhiteman8892 his son's voice is amazing too!

I couldn’t agree more! 💯

It always make me very happy when I see Brian smiling and having a great time whether in the studio or live

I wish I was alive in your time. I think these songs are really cool as a Child (of 12)

Bow bow bow...

They were the bomb back then, weren't they? Couldn't get enough of them.

They are, bizarrely, playing to a pre recorded track even though they would play instruments live ordinarily. All the vocals are live.

I think only the lead is live.

I feel the same way, this is now my most favorite song, from the beach boys.

During the 2012 fifty-year reunion tour, I was at the Chicago Theatre concert and the ENTIRE crowd was singing along. It was most fun hearing 2000 people singing "Help Me Rhonda" and I could feel the love.

I loved this song. Especially the alt version

That's funny. This was probably the first "grown up" song that I remember really liking, at about age 4 or 5. Something about it drew me to it back then, and I still love it! Even more now, like you.

Gorgeous precious men

No ...., Not like Abba , or Queen, or The Beatles !!🙄

​@@501sqn3again, none of those groups can hang with The Beach Boys harmony wise. The only group that comes close is Crosby, Stills and Nash

@@thedisheveledplayboys Well, we shall have to agree to differ 🤷

One of the last times he is playing actual bass with the band live before he dissapeared from live appearances for a decade although i wouldnt count his bass "playing" in the late 70s

Me too. Am 74

Yep. They were like Americas Beatles. Too bad the dinky uniforms were kinda embarrassing. I prefer their post-1966 wardrobe.

​@@neonfrootI don't get why they were embarrassing. That was their signature look

This was broadcast in color

Very, very good vocalist. Very smart technique.

Al didn’t play on the first four albums (Surfin’ Safari-Little Deuce Coupe). He did play on their first single, “Surfin’”. He was in the original 1961 lineup, but he left for dental school at the end of the year. That’s when, right before they were signed to Capitol, they replaced him with Carl’s friend from across the street. Marks played the first four albums (Surfin’ Safari, Surfin’ USA, Surfer Girl, and Little Deuce Coupe). Marks appears in the most famous photos of the band. Marks got into a fight with Murray at the end of ‘63, they got Jardine back, and the rest is history.

They really aren’t hard at all. Singing the harmonies like Brian and Carl are doing is much harder.

Yes, barbershop influences, agree. Also formal choral influences clearly evident. This group displaced the Beatles for me as a young kid. ❤

First concert that I ever went to as well. Tooting Granada in London in the spring of 1964

Im good how are you my friend 💎
