The Mike Love version of the Beach Boys is a fun night out. You expect the hits, a few laughs, and a solid band performing them and thats what you get.

His backing band is solid and terrific

We listened to that thing for hours.

Been listening to their incredible live album "On Tour ( w/ Eric Clapton )-- produced by Jimmy Miller, this record documents their rocking 1969 European tour that featured not only Clapton , but George Harrison ( who was still a Beatle ) and Dave Mason.
