Review - :
This is the first release on the strictly {$Beach Boys} bootleg label {@Sea of Tunes} -- a name originally given to {$Brian Wilson}'s early publishing company. {^Live In Sacramento, 1964} is the first of two volumes featuring raw performance tapes from which the legitimate {^Beach Boys Concert!} would be ultimately be drawn. This disc features the {$Beach Boys} afternoon performance in its entirety, plus a nearly 30 minute soundcheck. As is the case with every {@Sea of Tunes} release, the sound is overwhelming. The sheer frenzy and mania that accompanied the {$Beach Boys} stage performances in the early ‘60s has never sounded so manic. Underneath all the hype is the original self-contained quintet. On the whole, the performance is a bit sloppy -- hence the copious overdubs, which are available as bonus tracks on companion piece to this set {^Live In Sacramento, 1964, The Second Show}. Judging by the coarse language and banter, the soundcheck on the second half of this disc is something that would not be released legitimately. Musically, the absence of wall-to-wall screaming allows the boys a fighting chance to pull off those amazing harmonies and early rock & roll riffs. They accomplish both with great aplomb, in and amongst the bickering and bawdiness of rock stars in their youth. ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide
