The album was recorded live at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California, though it received heavy post-production treatment. Because Brian Wilson was about to vacate his position in the live group, and would only perform sporadically with them over the course of the next three decades, it is one of the few live documents of the original line up of the Beach Boys in officially released LP form.

In 2014, Live in Sacramento 1964 was released, containing additional performances from these concert dates.[6]

Recording

The album includes several songs that the Beach Boys regularly performed live but had not previously included on an album, such as "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow", "The Wanderer" and "Monster Mash". "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" was actually a Jan & Dean hit. Alongside those were a sampling of their favorites, such as "Hawaii", "Fun, Fun, Fun", and "I Get Around". "Little Deuce Coupe", "In My Room", "Johnny B. Goode" and "Long Tall Texan" dated from the December 21, 1963 show.[7]

Variations

A truncated version was released on Pickwick Records as Wow! Great Concert! Beach Boys Concert (Capitol (S)TAO 2198) When their albums were remastered for CD in 1990 (and again in 2001), Concert was paired on CD with Live in London, with bonus tracks from both periods. Bonus tracks include "Don't Worry Baby (Live 1964)" (2:56) and "Heroes And Villains (Live 1967)" (3:47).
