The Beach Boys Join Pacific Symphony Pops for an Evening of Greatest Hits by BWW News Desk
- March 03, 2017 At the forefront of the Golden Age of rock 'n' roll, before The Beatles made their U.S. debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964, there was The Beach Boys, scoring hit after hit. And now the quintessential surfband makes its most recent splash by bringing a sure-to-sell-out evening of their best-loved songs to Pacific Symphony Pops! Having made their mark singing about "California Girls," it seems particularly appropriate that America's most popular group throughout the 1960s is planning a visit to Orange County. While The Beach Boys of today bear little physical resemblance to the five cherubic California kids who first hit it big five decades ago, the music is a dead-ringer and will take the audience back to a time of innocence and fun in the sun with songs such as "God Only Knows," "Don't Worry Baby" and "You're So Good to Me."
