The Beach Boys performed "California Girls" at Knebworth 1980, it's the last time that all Beach Boys performed together in England. The song was performed very good and it's for me better than the studio version. Mike looks good with his acting and the backing vocals are good too. Dennis drum-intro is the best of all.
Carl wasn't on tour at this time so Brian sang more leads, like on this one. For many people this version is horrible, but I like to see Brian and his falsetto voice.
Playback version of GV, 1980. The Beach Boys performed regular at this show. In '79 they performed "Sumahama" and "Lady Lynda", in 1980 "California Girls", "Good Vibrations" and "Surfin' USA" and in 1981 , without Carl, "Beach Boys Medley". They did always playback. The '79 and '81 performances are already posted on youtube, so here is a cut from the 1980 performance, I guess december.
