This Classic Album Listening session is, as it were, a double bill! Before listening to the album in its entirety, Marc Didden will discuss (in Dutch) this classic in his entirely unique own style in Dutch.  

‘Pet Sounds’, The Beach Boys‘ 1966 classic, will turn 50 on May 16! To blow out all those candles, on the eve of this golden anniversary we will listen to the album in its 35:58 minute entirety at a Classic Album Listening Session.

With the switch from surf music to more complex arrangements and harmonious vocals, The Beach Boys unwittingly produced their most legendary album. These guys from California scored worldwide hits with singles like ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’, ‘Sloop John B’ and ‘God Only Knows’, just to name a few. All are now invariably considered to be classics. Happy Birthday, Pet Sounds!

You can attend this listening session for free by registering via reservationshuis23@abconcerts.be (make mention of ‘Pet Sounds’ in the subject title). Admittance is free of charge but we ask you to contribute an amount of your choosing to the Kom Op Tegen Kanker campaign on the night.
