benchwarrant17 26th Dec 2020		Live Music The Beach Boys @ ABC Television Center (1964)	I know of no other TV performance that featured "Don't Worry Baby", it was not even a single at this time, why it was selected, and who did it, I need to learn. Lyricist: Roger Christian Composer-extra lyrics: Brian Wilson I guess I should've kept my mouth shut when I started to brag about my car But I can't back down now because I pushed the other guys too far She makes me come alive, and makes me want to drive when she says Don't Worry Baby Roger Christian gave the lyrics to Brian Wilson December 1964, in the Los Angeles parking lot of KFWB-AM, where he worked as a disc jockey. Wilson recalled that he went home and finished writing the song "in about an hour-and-a-half."

benchwarrant17 26th Dec 2020		Live Music The Beach Boys @ ABC Television Center (1964)	Background On Saturday March 14, 1964, the five Beach Boys (three Wilson Brothers, cousin Mike Love, and high school friend Al Jardine) headed for NBC Studios in Burbank, California to tape a 10-song live concert, which was broadcast by closed-circuit, along with a segment by the Beatles, to a network of cinemas nationwide. (Lost Concert DVD) When that concluded, the Beach Boys headed to ABC Television Center, KABC-TV's Los Angeles headquarters, on Prospect Avenue, just north of Downtown Los Angeles, to tape an appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, broadcast April 18th 12:30-1:30 pm LA time. They lip-synched "Don't Worry Baby", released less than 2 weeks earlier on "Shut Down, Volume 2"; no single released yet.
