"Why this CD is out of print is really beyond me. I can't believe Capitol would delete this title and others such as "20/20", "Concert", etc. I do not have this CD;However, I do own the original album, and let me tell you, it is simply amazing. From start to finish, the listener gets to hear pure, raw energy from the boys who perform the songs with such tightness and clarity that it boggles the mind. (To some degree, anyway.) The record sounding this good I just can't fathom what the CD sounded like, but I bet it sho sounds good. Yes, there is yelling and screaming from the fans, but only after the song are played. And who wouldn't want to go nuts afer such an exhilarating performance. (The high point in this album is 'God Only Knows' -- I've never heard such a beautiful rendition in my life, and I turned thirty-one on May twelfth, thank you very much). Try looking for this record at used record stores all across these United States, because it will be an enjoyable listening experience for all interested. Why is this CD not released? God only knows. -Kansas City, Mo 6/11/99"

"If you like the Beach Boys,this CD is most satifying.It is more energetic than any of the greatest hits compilations,with excellent sound quality.This live performance recording contains the raw element of brilliance that was so often muddled in many of the overproduced studio recordings(bright California sunshiney sound).Al Jardine does one hell of a job singing"Would`nt It Be Nice",Carl sings like an angel on"God Only Knows".Brian is not present but not even the most bedwetting rock-journalist(who,by the way,are all going to hell)would know it.This is The Genuine Article."
