x
1
  Part of the Inaugural celebrations for new president Ronald Regan.
2
  Carl's last show with the band until May 1982.
3
  Broadcast live on WNEW-FM
4
  Show followed a Surfs Soccer game.
5
  Broadcast live on Q107-FM. Not one of their better shows.
6
  Televised live nationally, this is very possibly the worst show The Beach Boys have ever
  played: they weren't just bad, they were shocking. Carl, watching from his hotel room on
  tour, simply said "it was painful".
7
  During this show, Brian threw a tantrum, punched his mike and stormed offstage:
  reportedly Mike & Dennis had a backstage fistfight as well.
8
  David Marks sat in on this Mike Love/Endless Summer Beach Band gig.
9
  Mike Love & The Endless Summer Beach Band.
10
  Special show for the University of Miami.
11
  At this gig three sheriff's deputies were manhandled by security for taking photos: they
  later sued the group and were awarded 5 million in December 1985.
12
  Although touring, Dennis didn't play this show as he had food poisoning.
13
  This was the first of several shows that took place over the holiday period. Brian & Dennis
  made the trip, but not Carl, of course.
