George Harrison spoke of the Beatles' having to play the hits from
their records, not their old stuff.  (This is from comments appearing
on the cover of at least 1 edition of "Beatles in the beginning, c. 1960,
with Tony Sheridan".)

It's also my understanding that Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was going
deaf in one ear, and became quite withdrawn, and stopped touring with the
group (replaced on the tours by singers such as Glen Campbell and Bruce
Johnston).  Other members of the group were concerned about the new sounds
found on Pet Sounds LP, even though such LP became a classic.  (It compares
to Sgt. Pepper or Rubber Soul, and is the 1st Beach Boys LP not to have
surfing and/or car songs on it.)
