Ringing The Liberty Bell

Ringing The Liberty Bell

On 4th July, 1985, in front of a million people who'd gathered in the grounds of the Museum Of Art on Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Beach Boys headlined the Sea To Shining Sea concert, a free event which also featured The Oak Ridge Boys, Joan Jet & The Blackhearts, Jimmy Page, Christopher Cross, Joe Ely, The Neville Brothers, Sons Of The Beach and local act Robert Hazard - composer of Cyndi Lauper's big hit from the previous year. The concert in Philly had been an afternoon event, after which the entire entourage flew on to Washington DC, where they repeated their sets in the nation's capital. It was appropriate that a US line-up - save for Jimmy Page - featured, being Independence Day and with the shows taking place at the home of the Constitution and in the nation's capital. This CD features the Beach Boys afternoon set in Philadelphia, recorded for FM radio broadcast - and later for a TV transmission - when the show included numerous BB classics plus the group's then new single, 'Getcha Back,' taken from their 25th studio album, remarkably their first eponymously titled record, released just a month before. With guest appearances during the Beach Boys set from The Oakridge Boys, Joan Jett, Christopher Cross and Jimmy Page, all on different numbers, the performance had a real party atmosphere and with reported temperatures hitting 90Âº F by noon, it was surely one Independence Day that most in attendance will still remember. The Beach Boys were back playing in Philadelphia nine days after this event, when they performed at the US leg of the Live Aid concert at the city's JFK Stadium.
