For most of the years in which the song was performed live Mike Love the original lead singer sang lead. However starting in the early 2000's longtime Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston took over the lead. The song was also played at some shows during The Beach Boy 50th Reunion Tour with Johnston again on lead vocals. Brian Wilson has also performed the song at some of his solo shows with Wilson himself taking the lead.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or versions:
“So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
