Theremin is the high pitched "whining" instrument that's prominent in the song (it was also used in the soundtracks of Horror movies). Other instruments include cello, pipe organ, and of course the standard rock and roll lineup of bass, drums, piano and guitar.

None of the Beach Boys played the theremin in Good Vibrations. There was no actual theremin used in "Good Vibrations." Instead, the song featured an electronic instrument that is played by sliding a little pointer back and forth across a narrow wooden enclosure; this is much easier to play than the theremin, which is played "in the air" without actually touching the instrument. On the recording, this theremin-like instrument was played by Paul Tanner, who also played a part in its invention. He also played it on the Beach Boys' "Wild Honey" and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times". In concert, before the Beach Boys brought backing musicians on tour with them, Mike Love played it. In later years, the job fell to one of their sidemen.
The instrument used on The Beach Boys on such recordings as "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times", "Good Vibrations", and Wild Honey", was custom-made by trombonist Paul Tanner and Bob Whitsell, and was called the Tannerin. Whereas the original theremin was controlled remotely by the user, the electro-theremin was able to be played with a series of knobs at the side of the machine.
The beach boys played a concert at Mc Man stadium in the early 70's. I m looking for info on what the date was and which band members were present.
