Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Keepin' The Summer Alive is The Beach Boys' twenty-fourth album which was released in 1980. After the commercial failure of their previous album L.A. (Light Album), their label CBS requested another LP as soon as possible.The band tried to bring back Brian Wilson as a producer but due to his poor mental state, Bruce Johnston kept his same role as on L.A.. This is the last Beach Boys album to feature Dennis Wilson before his death by drowning in late 1983 (ironically, he didn't participate into the recording sessions and is only featured on one song which was recorded years before the release of this album).Just like its two predecessors, Keepin' The Summer Alive received unfavourable reviews and was called the band's "low point" in their discography. Its commercial failure marked a five year period where the Beach Boys focused on touring instead of recording albums. Touring turned out to be successful for them at the start of this new decade, and they established themselves as a touring-only band based on the nostalgia and the success of their mid 60s songs. This "jukebox" format was criticized by Carl Wilson who temporarily left the band in order to focus on a solo career.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Some parts of the album's recording was filmed for a documentary presented by Rolling Stones called Goin' Platinum.

Face on the Cover: The band's then line-up is featured in some kind of "Summer dome" isolated in an arctic setting. Even Dennis is featured, even though he barely makes an appearance on the album. | |

Keepin' The Summer Alive (Music) / int_295087bf | comment |
Non-Indicative Name: The album was released during march of 1980. It's hard to say they were keeping the Summer alive before it could happen, unless they were keeping 1979's summer alive which is quite a feat. | |

Keepin' The Summer Alive (Music) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Dennis Wilson didn't take part in the album's recording and since his only feature is playing bass drum on When Girls Get Together (a track originally recorded in 1969), it's easier to consider L.A. (Light Album) to be the last Beach Boys album to have him involved in the recording sessions (whereas Keepin' The Summer Alive is the last to feature him). | |
