In the late ’70s and early ’80s, instrumental surf guitar made a splashy comeback, thanks to bands like Jon & The Nightriders and The Surf Raiders, sparking a wave of revivals, reissues, and reunion shows. One standout was a 1995 benefit concert at Hermosa Beach’s iconic Lighthouse Café, where surf legends like The Chantays, The Surfaris, and members of The Lively Ones and The Astronauts joined forces with revival-era musicians under the musical direction of Paul Johnson. The packed show—organized by DJ Les Perry—was a joyful collision of past and present, capturing the enduring spirit of surf music at a venue rooted in jazz but now echoing with reverb-soaked guitars. This recording is a rare document of that electric day when surf's golden past met its vibrant second wave.
