Strangely DFTS is marketed as an Al Jardine song, though it contains (almost) all of the boys...  Contractual reasons? Otherwise it is the first decent Beach Boys song in years.... Wink

If I could witness Mike chicken dancing 'round stage while crooning "over and over the crow flies uncover the cornfield" I could die a happy man.

As if this isn't enough... ;P

Mike is a great emcee, and for whatever reason, none of the other band members had that natural comic gift.

As many times as I've seen and heard them, I've Never noticed Mike having a natural comic gift. Oh, I've heard his patter, fer sure; but natural comic gift? 
NO.

bgas - Have you seen Billy's (Hinsche) 1974 On the Road with the Beach Boys? If not, then you might think of getting the DVD.

It seems almost "cultish" - this new "Political Correctness" analysis of The Music...where it is not taken in the context of the times in which is was written/composed.  After all art and music are a reflection of the times in which it was written/composed...

If you can get a laugh from people you don't know, then you do have a comic gift...But, don't take my word; take Ed Carter's... Wink

The three shows I saw last week were sold out...it speaks for itself... Wink 


Not quite-it speaks for the brilliance of Brian's compositions-not Myke's version of what he calls humor. Most people  are there for the surf and car songs that Brian wrote and let Myke sing lead on a few of them.

So only the SONGWRITER/PRODUCER has the true right to perform the songs?
That must suck for Sinatra 90% of all people on the charts during the sixties!

Brian did his own version of Smile and will certainly be doing Smile cuts at concerts in the future.
But the big Q is: will Mike and Bruce be doing Smile songs? And what about Al?

 Huh

I don't think they - Mike and Al - have the band to do it and more importantly they don't have the voices to carry it off either

The band today is not that much different than the one put together for the 1993 tour. If Al tours with Mike & Bruce this year, I think they could perform a few numbers like GV, H&V, Wonderful, Vega-Tables, possibly even Surf's Up with Christian and Randall or even Matt Jardine handling vocals. I really do not think it would be terribly difficult to pull off. More often than not over the past couple years, Mike & Bruce do more album cuts than Brian and his band.

When the "Songs from here & back"-CD came out, Mike was the only one to promote it. Well, I don't know about Al. So I'm pretty sure that he will mention it in concert. I just wonder if GV would be the only song from Smile or if the add H&V. In my earlier post I mentioned which songs I could imagine they would do.
Brian tours his Gershwin-album. So the question is if he'll be doing so much promotion for Smile in his concerts

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Can't imagine the Mike Bruce Al band with strings and french horn and proper instruments doing Smile songs properly - the musicians don't have the required love for the parts

BTW even when Brian and his band do singles at least they sound right

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

What is this "life" thing you speak of ?

And maybe you don't have the proper love to listen it? Was there enough love by the musicians when played on the 1993 Tour? maybe everyone will drop acid before Showtime.
