According to U Discover Music, the band didn't claim their first number one album until Beach Boys Concert. It was recorded live in August 1964 at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento California.
The album contained some outstanding Beach Boys material, such as "Fun, Fun, Fun," "Little Deuce Coupe," "I Get Around," "Don't Worry Baby," and "In My Room." Shortly after the live album, Brian Wilson retired from performing.
American Songwriter reports that Wilson suffered a panic attack in December 1964, shortly after the album's release. The band was on a flight to Houston when this occurred.
“I used to be Mr. Everything,” Wilson told Earl Leaf, as reported by Rolling Stone. “I felt I had no choice. I was run down mentally and emotionally because I was running around, jumping on jets from one city to another on one-night stands, also producing, writing, arranging, singing, planning, teaching—to the point where I had no peace of mind and no chance to actually sit down and think or even rest. I was so mixed up and so overworked."
He continued, "We started recording the Beach Boys Today album. We were about halfway through the album, and one night I told the guys I wasn’t going to perform on stage anymore, that I can’t travel."

Beach Boys Live proved that the band’s raw, live sound could capture fans’ hearts just as well as a polished studio hit.
