**
  Although Brian is clearly listed on the AFM sheet for these sessions, according to David
  Marks' biography he was also on tour. However, a recently discovered photo (note #11
  above) casts serious doubt on his presence for at least one show.
1
  The first show outside California. The date may be off by a day or so.
2
  Carol Kaye's claim (on her website and elsewhere) to have played guitar on this song is not
  borne out by either the AFM sheet or the memory of those present. Equally, Hal Blaine's
  claim to have played drums is similarly unconfirmed. However, Frank DiVitto was an
  uncredited drummer on "Surfin' USA" as Dennis had injured his ankle.
3
  For this, and the next few shows, Mark Groseclose drummed as Dennis had broken his
  ankle and couldn't perform.
4
  A Gary Usher production, The Tri-Five comprised Richie Burns (bass), Usher (rhythm),
  Randy Thomas (keyboards), Carl (lead) and Dennis (drums). Both tunes are instrumental
  and despite any claim to the contrary, Brian neither produced nor appears on these tracks.
5
  On this session, The Beach Boys provided vocal and instrumental backing.
6
  Following the Rendezvous Ballroom show, the BBs drove to Newport Dunes Aquatic
  Park in Newport Beach. The Centurions had a gig there and the BBs decided to "crash"
  it and got onstage. The two bands got into an actual fight and the BBs were forced to
  leave. The Rendezvous show was a big disappointment with few people attending so
  there may have been alcohol and anger involved in this Newport Beach fiasco.
7
  Brian dropped out of this tour early on: he was replaced by Alan. According to David Marks,
  he never actually started the tour at all.
8
  Although this show is dated as the 4th in Elmer Marks' tour journal, Chet Orr recalls it as
  being the 2nd.
9
  The instrumental track for this unreleased Brian Wilson production was used for "The Surfer
  Moon" on the Surfer Girl album. It's the earliest known example of Brian using strings.
  The vocals were recorded at a later date at Western.
10
  It was at this show that Brian & Mike first met Sharon Marie Esparza.
11
  Yes, they really did play three gigs on one night. Here's how: according to a local paper, it
  was grad night for a number of Bakersfield schools and they shared the "talent" at a number
  of all night parties. According to the website of The Illusions, "Bakersfield was having a big
  high school graduation for all the schools in the area. The Illusions landed the gig along with
  The Beach Boys, The Cascades  nd The Ivy Clansmen. The local radio station promoted
  the dance and played Jezabel on the air numerous times. The band heard it on the car radio
  while driving to Bakersfield. When they arrived at the location, they were amazed at how
  big it was. It looked like a giant aircraft hanger, with large doors at the ends that lifted up.
  The Illusions and The Beach Boys were unloading their equipment at the entrance when
  Ray Anthony the local D. J. came over and told them that they would be setting up on
  stages at opposite ends of the building. The Beach Boys would be performing with The Ivy
  Clansmen while The Illusions would be performing with The Cascades. All the groups
  would be promoting their records also. The evening went very well, there were thousands
  of kids dancing and having a great time in a building so large, that two bands could play at
  the same time without disturbing each other. The next day, the groups performed at the
  county fair before packing up their equipment and driving back to Long Beach." The band
  confused The Cascades with The Cherry Creek Singers, and got the date wrong,
  thinking it was in April.
12
  According to the website of The Illusions.
13
  Although, at first glance, the  timing of this session seems to be problematic, it's not entirely
  impossible. The AFM sheet lists no start time, so they could have flown back from the
  Houston show and headed straight for the studio. It's also entirely possible that the session
  date is incorrect and the contract was filed retroactively, as it wasn't recieved by Capitol
  until July 5th. This AFM sheet is almost the only documentation to exist for either the
  Surfer Girl or the Little Deuce Coupe sessions.
14
  Brian didn't make the trip to Hawaii. Alan stood in for him.
15
  The venue, previously unknown, is all but confirmed by the memory of a fan who saw the
  band "in a teen club... on Seventh Street". It's assumed, but not proven, that the next day's
  gig was also at the VIP.
16
  According to the recording information stated in the 2fer booklet, not only the titles listed
  above but also "Our Car Club", "Hawaii", "Your Summer Dream", "The Rocking Surfer",
  "Catch A Wave", "In My Room" and  the vocals for "The Surfer Moon" were also cut on
  this date. That the band could record nine songs from scratch in a single three hour session
  is, of course, ludicrous - David Marks remembers at least two of the Surfer Girl tracks
  being recorded at other studios (e.g. "The Rocking Surfer" at Wentzel's in Downey), and
  also that Alan appeared on some of the Surfer Girl tracks listed here, but not others: he
  plays bass on "Boogie Woodie", "Surfer's Rule" & "Catch A Wave" and sings on "In My
  Room". That Alan would sit in the corridor for half a session is about as likely as ten songs
  being recorded in one go. However, definitive information as to the actual dates is lacking
  as the AFM contracts appear to have been lost. The best guess is that there were five
  seperate sessions: the three noted above, one for "Catch A Wave" and "In My Room", the
  songs without Alan, the Downey session and the two tracks with Hal Blaine present. This
  surmise is, however, somewhat contradicted by the existence of a Western tape box label
  dated 7-16-63 and listing the first three tracks noted above - two of which Alan plays on,
  one of which he reportedly doesn't (also, "Our Car Club" recycled the track for an otherwise
  unreleased song - "Rabbit's Foot" - that was recorded at an earlier date). Just to muddy the
  waters further, the tape box also lists the track "Runaround Lover", although there is good
  reason to believe that this text was added later. The dates noted + are not documented but
  are accurate to within a day or so. The 9/2 session for Little Deuce Coupe is equally
  implausible, as David remembers some of the titles, but not others. Apparently this was the
  date the master tapes for the seven songs were logged at Capitol.
17
  Although he started the tour, Brian may well have left fairly early as he was certainly in LA
  on July 24th for a recording session, as he was on August 5th & August 27th.
18
  Although noted as the 5th by Elmer Marks, a newspaper article dates it to the 8th. Further,
  the accompanying photo, though of poor quality, shows Carl, David, Mike and what
  appears to be Alan rather than Brian (crewcut and rather short).
19
  Dennis was reportedly unaware that the band were doing three shows that night and refused
  to play the last one, so an appeal was made from the stage and the drummer of local band
  The Surfs sat in for Dennis. Apparently the same thing happened the next night, and the
  local drummer played with them again when they were next in the area. However, recent
  research has cast serious doubt on this claim.
20
  Either on this date or on the 27th. Other acts mentioned in the press were Sammy Davis Jr.,
  The Tokens, Johnny Crawford, Gene Pitney, The Contours and Freddy Cannon.
21
  While driving from this show to the next, David announced he was quitting the band. Brian
  was present.
22
  Miming "Surfin' USA" & "Things We Did Last Summer": their first national TV
  appearence. David appears instead of Alan because the show was taped five months earlier
  on 21st April.
23
  David's last full show for some fourteen years.
24
  The band mimed "Be True To Your School": Brian introduces "new" member Alan Jardine.
25
  Brian is also listed on the AFM sheet for this session, so chances are he played on it as well
  as sang (keyboards, probably).
26
  It was after this show that Fred Vail, who was promoting, recalls Brian & Mike sat in a
  corner of the hotel room writing "The Warmth of The Sun". it was finished by 2am.
27
  Channel 18 had a live telecast of the 9:30-10:30 segment of this show, almost certainly
  when the The BBs played.
28
  The Boys made an hour long appearence at this clothing store: it's presumed they sang a
  song or two.
29
  According to Fred Vail's recollection.
