Just like its two predecessors, ''Keepin' The Summer Alive'' received unfavourable reviews and was called the band's "low point" in their discography. Its commercial failure marked a five year period where the Beach Boys focused on touring instead of recording albums. Touring turned out to be successful for them at the start of this new decade, and they established themselves as a touring-only band based on the nostalgia and the success of their mid 60s songs. This "jukebox" format was criticized by Carl Wilson who temporarily left the band in order to focus on a solo career.

The band tried to bring back Music/BrianWilson as a producer but due to his poor mental state, Bruce Johnston kept his same role as on ''L.A.''. This is the last Beach Boys album to feature Music/DennisWilson before his death by drowning in late 1983 (ironically, he didn't participate into the recording sessions and is only featured on one song which was recorded years before the release of this album).

''Keepin' The Summer Alive'' is Music/TheBeachBoys' twenty-fourth album which was released in 1980. After the commercial failure of their previous album Music/LALightAlbum, their label CBS requested another LP as soon as possible.
The band tried to bring back Music/BrianWilson as a producer but due to his poor mental state, Bruce Johnston kept his same role as on ''L.A.''. This is the last Beach Boys album to feature Music/DennisWilson before his death by drowning in late 1983 (ironically, he didn't participate into the recording sessions and is only featured on one song which was recorded years before the release of this album).

Some parts of the album's recording was filmed for a documentary presented by Rolling Stones called ''Goin' Platinum''. You can watch it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO9_tiqtvKU&t=165s here]]
