Re: there is a live in concert CD that was a throw away

All bands have poor live performances. It's a job. Just like every other job, some days are better than others. Carl Wilson was more than competent as a guitarist, the keyboard players they used were fair, and they used Glen Campbell as a Brian replacement for some time. Dennis was a workable drummer when he wasn't stoned and Ricky Fataar was pretty good. So, I don't agree with the bad musician label. The reason Brian used the Wrecking Crew was partly because the Beach Boys were out on tour, parly because they were better musicians and partly because they wanted to play Brians more sophisticated music (unlike the Beach Boys)
I do believe that the Beach Boys lacked the discipline that Brian has regarding the sound mix of live shows. Anyone attending a Brian Wilson concert will know what i'm talking about.
The single worst concert I ever heard, by a LONG shot was Led Zepplin in Minneapolis. Robert Plant SPOKE the lyrics to EVERY song......didn't sing a NOTE. I walked out and spent the concert in the lobby waiting for my friends. Yawn.
Single best concert was Brian Wilson's SMiLE show in Ann Arbor Michigan. Still in awe of that show.
