On Sunday night, all of the living original Beach Boys brought their 50th anniversary tour to the Raleigh Amphitheater, giving fans a 42-song set full of rich harmonies and classic surf sounds.
The band took the stage as the sun slowly sank behind the stage, rocking through a set featuring a lot of their early crowd pleasing hits including "Catch a Wave," "Surfin' Safari" and "Surfer Girl," but some of the highlights of the first set were some of the deeper cuts including the rocker "You're So Good to Me," the country-tinged "Cotton Fields" and the beautiful ballad "Disney Girls."
After closing the first set with "I Get Around," band took a break before returning for a second set kicking off with The Mamas and The Papas classic "California Dreamin'." The second set featured fantastic renditions of some of the band's more experimental sounds including "Sloop John B.," "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "Heroes and Villains," the latter of which Brian Wilson sounded fantastic on.
