Good Timin': Live at Knebworth England 1980 is a CD release of a concert performance by The Beach Boys at the aforementioned venue in June 1980. Featuring the complete lineup of all six Beach Boys -- Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston -- this was their last major UK performance together.
A nice overview of their career (the band's current album was Keepin' the Summer Alive), Good Timin': Live at Knebworth England 1980 was first issued in the UK in 2002 and the following year in the US, both through the band's Brother Records imprint with independent distribution. It is also available on DVD.
The album included an impromptu version of "Happy Birthday", intended for Brian, whose birthday it had been the day before the concert was performed.
The album will be re-released on May 29, 2012 as a two CD set.[2]
