    Perhaps the last recorded performance of "God Only Knows" by Carl Wilson, recorded August 2, 1997 with The Beach Boys at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, CA. If anyone has any information about a reported August 4th recording that exists, please let me know.

    This was recorded in the midst of Carl's battle with lung cancer; by this time he sat on a stool for each performance and required oxygen after some songs. "God Only Knows" was the one song that he would unfailingly stand for at each performance, and as evidenced by this vocal here, his vocal talent had not diminished one bit, with no discernible phrasing differences between this rendition and those from previous years. A remarkable recording through and through.

    oh man

    description:
    The landmark documentary about the tragically ill-fated Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont Speedway on December 6, 1969. Only four months earlier, Woodstock defined the Love Generation; now it lay in ruins on a desolate racetrack six miles outside of San Francisco.

    Basically about a free concert Stones attempted to hold that ended in the stabbing death of Meredith Hunter and three other deaths including a hit and run and a drowning. Frequently said to be when the "love generation" died. Interesting stuff.

    Dead at love generation dying in 1969

    @Ithaka now Gimme Shelter, THAT's a song that perfectly encapsulates 1969 because of both the sound which more accurately represented and foreshadowed the sound of rock in the following few years and the lyrical message/tone of the song that represents the end of the 60s

    Too many plays from me and everyone has dulled its impact

    This sounds like pure zenith at all times

    @Elric @RVI

    I told you about this already fam one of my oldest and most cherished psych rekkids. Gary Usher helped Brian hone his ballad writing skills when they were young then went on to craft what is widely known to be the best non-beach boys beach boys song of the 60s with an album to match it.
