x
1
  Brian's absence for these shows - until early May - was due to his being in Hawaii
  with Landy undergoing rehab.
2
  Brian joined the band for this show. He was still living in Hawaii at the time.
3
  Possibly Brian's first show after returning from Hawaii.
4
  Immediately after this show they performed a private show on the White House
  lawn for Ronnie & Nancy.
5
  George Bush's 59th birthday party
6
  Mike missed these gigs with a strep throat.
7
  This show was filmed. Footage appears in the American Band video biography.
8
  By playing this show, The Beach Boys achieved the feat of performing in all 50
  states, 21 years and 210 days after their very first live appearence.
9
  James Watt was invited... but didn't show. :-)
10
  Originally planned as shows with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, for some reason
  the DSO never showed.
11
  As far as is known, this was the last full show featuring all six members.
12
  At one of these shows, security guards failed to recognize them and charged them $4
  each for tickets !
13
  Recent evidence indicates that Dennis did play this show: apparently he was in a
  rehab  facility nearby and was permitted to play. He arrived a little late.
14
  Rescheduled from the 24th to enable the band to do a TV shoot.
15
  The last show Dennis ever played - despite what has been written in the past, photos
  show he played for most, if not all, of this show. He also showed up the following
  night, but reportedly caused such disruption that he was banned from playing with
  the band again until he cleaned up his act. He never did.
16
  A fund-raiser for ex-president Ford's Amway foundation.
17
  Computer Dealers Convention - the last known show before Dennis died.
18
  In a 1985 interview, Bruce said "we finished it about three days before (Dennis)
  died", so the date here, whilst not precise, is correct to within a day or so. The
  Beach Boys added their vocals to the basic track, which was later sweetened.
