ABOUT THIS SITE

For many years I have and continue to aid Andrew Doe in compiling the Tours & Sessions section of his great Beach Boys’ site Bellagio 10452. (http://bellagio10452.com). I then co-authored the book The Beach Boys in Concert: The Ultimate History of America’s Band on Tour and Onstage (Backbeat Books, 2013) with Jon Stebbins. In the course of my research I compiled thousands of advertisements, images and information and conducted numerous interviews. Due to the nature of the publishing world, only a small fraction of this information appeared in my book, so I see this site as a chance to share more of the knowledge and information I acquired in what I hope will be an engaging format.

It is not the intention of this site to take the place of Andrew Doe’s great site, which I continue to contribute to.

You can find the date of any gig here or there but recording sessions are only documented at Bellagio. This site will be a work in progress and I have decided not to start in any chronological order but to add years and tours as time permits. I intend to add addendums and corrections to the book, as time permits, and to provide more detailed information on the post 1986 years, which received only limited discussion in my book.

If you are aware of any shows not listed in my book or Bellagio   AND/OR have any Beach Boys advertisements, reviews or images PLEASE contact me!!!
