Good Timin': Live at Knebworth England 1980 is a CD release of a concert performance by The Beach Boys at the aforementioned venue in June 1980. Featuring all six Beach Boys: Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston, this was their last major UK performance together.

A nice overview of their career (the band's current album was Keepin' the Summer Alive), Good Timin': Live at Knebworth England 1980 was first issued in the UK in 2002 and the following year in the US, both through the band's Brother Records imprint with independent distribution. It is also available on DVD.

The album included an impromptu version of "Happy Birthday", intended for Brian, whose birthday it had been the day before the concert was performed.

Aside from The Beach Boys themselves, the band included Bobby Figueroa on drums, Ed Carter on guitar, Joe Chemay on bass, and Mike Meros on keyboards.
