I feel pretty lucky that I saw him when I did. It was 85 or 86, so probably one of his last tours. I don't think I was aware of it at the time but in retrospect it is nice that he was in the midst of a little bit of a comeback when he died. I do remember thinking at the time that it was hard to imagine that one day people from my favorite band dying. At that age my favorite band was Pink Floyd and, well, two of them are gone now.
That's cool that you got to see the Beach Boys BTW!
