I've seen many concerts in my lifetime and the Beach Boys performance at Casino Rama ranks up there with an Eagles concert in 1998 and a Roy Orbison concert in 1985.

It is hard to believe that the Beach Boys sound of 2009 is produced without the aid of Carl, Dennis or Brian Wilson. Most of the credit goes to Mike Love who now has ownership over the group's name "Beach Boys". 

Like McCartney and Lennon, there was a falling out of Mike Love and Brian Wilson over musical directions in the late 1960s. Mike Love continued on "The Beach Boys Greatest Hits Bandwagon" while Brian Wilson formed his own band in the 1990's to promote "Pet Sounds" and other highly original creative works.

While Brian Wilson is a songwriting genius, his singing (I listened to him on YouTube) leaves something to be desired. In the meantime, the Beach Boys sound was recreated with high fidelity at the Casino Rama concert. Four stars!
