Plaques were unveiled to commemorate the band's concert on September 22, 1971 at the Baypoint Inn & Conference Center in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The importance of the 1971 concert was for the first-ever appearance of South African Ricky Fataar as an official member of the band and Filipino Billy Hinsche as a touring member, essentially changing The Beach Boys' live and recording act's line-up into a multi-cultural group. This shifted the band into an essential and important creative period from 1972-1973 that included the recording of their critically acclaimed 'Holland' LP, and Rolling Stone magazine naming them 'Band of the Year.'
