As far as concerts go, I feel The Beach Boys went full on oldies well before a lot of their fellow 60s artists, as recently as 1974.

So as much as possible, the best course of action is just for everyone to do what he does. For artists, that means making art in whatever fashion they deem best. For fans, it means listening to what they like. That will inevitably lead to "disloyalty" that is in reality no such thing. And in the end, history can work it all out. I like that, and I think the perceived disloyalty flows both ways.

They continued to perform new songs from each studio album. They just started releasing less albums. I suppose the ratio (of new to old) was slightly less than their contemporaries, but I'm not sure of that either.

Sure they did, but the ratio of new to old was pretty even until the release of Endless Summer. Meanwhile, McCartney didn't start filling his sets with Beatles songs until around 1990. Fogerty with CCR songs around 1997. Floyd and The Who in the 70s played sets very heavy on newer material. The Stones didn't play a lot of their 60s hits in concert in the 70s.

I know it has been common consensus that starting with Endless Summer, the setlist was disproportionately oldies, but didn't someone at a previous board do a pretty full analysis of that idea and show that at least through the Love You era, they kept playing roughly a similar percentage of newer/non-hit songs?

I looked at some setlists from the 1976 and 77 tours, and they tend to skew more towards 1960s material. Where as it was pretty much 50/50 prior to Endless Summer on average.

OK, then, I stand corrected.
This means I am left with one option, of course: to say nasty things about you and continue saying that I was correct all along.
