Super fun show. I remember it being hot and sunny that day. All acts were good but as you might guess The Beach Boys were the highlight of the day/night. As the Beach Boys played, the crowd passed LOTS of beach balls all over the place. Some of the beach balls went up on the stage while they played. At one point Mike Love stopped the band (in the middle of a song) and addressed the crowd. He informed the crowd that Brian (Wilson) had just got out of the hospital and that he was having a real tough time with the beach balls. The passing of the beach balls came to an end and the show resumed. Great show...even after scolded by the Beach Boys :-)

From what I understand it was a great show. It was hot that day. I knew I was getting sunburned but didn’t realize how bad. The only thing I remember was seeing beach balls and Mike Love stopped the show and said that the balls needed to stop. I wasn’t drinking, just delirious from the heat. I was so burnt I ended up in the hospital for 10 days in a wheelchair. My story passed around to doctors through out the hospital. I had many that stopped in to see me. My aunt worked at the hospital and said I was the topic of conversation. Even long after I left. Decades later I am still a fan.
