Roland Anderson (audience) : Tonight Shari and I went to the Beach Boys show at the Minneapolis Auditorium. We were on the main floor in row 1, undoubtedly the most expensive tickets at $4.50. The KDWB disc jockeys were the hosts. The Castaways lead it off with Liar Liar and then the Strangeloves were on. The Gentrys, who followed, were tremendous. After the Gentrys there was an intermission and then finally the Beach Boys came on and first sang Fun Fun Fun. They said Brian Wilson couldn’t make it because he was writing songs and getting richer so they had a sub. [It may have been Glen Campbell.] They also sang Help Me Rhonda, I Get Around, Barbara Ann, Little Surfer, Surfin’ USA and Do You Want to Dance? besides others. When the Beach Boys first came out, we couldn’t see a thing because everyone was standing, but the cops got them out of the way.
