Oh my, you mean they did a Vodaphone-style "take the headman out for dinner & wine"? While the rest of us schmucks have to declare & pay tax on every sparrow fart we ever earn? Harrrrrrumph!

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but I guess here is ok. After this new album and tour, will the group continue on as Mike and Bruce? It would be amazing if they all stayed together after the official reunion. Although I doubt Brian would be able to participate on a long term scale.  Roll Eyes

If they need somewhere cheap to play in the UK they can come and play at my house and I'll give them £100 and a cup of tea.

Only 1 Southern California date on this tour, but 6 in New York. Boo. I really hate the Hollywood Bowl Venue. I really can't believe there's not an Orange County or San Diego date. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now...

Not saying that this will be the case, but I can imagine that the Boys would end their 50th anniversary in their home state/town....
I'm very curious what the complete tour schedule will be.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

Great, so they have at least three venues to choose from now! We can put together some merchandise and refreshments. There all sorted. Now, BB please can you come over to the UK?

You should offer Brian some instant coffee to mix in the proper coffee. For nostalgia reasons, of course.

I "experimented" with buying a ticket for one of the German shows, via a ticket facility provided by one of the London broadsheet newspapers. With postage and fees, it loaded an extra 50% on to the price… forget that for a lark!   Angry

This is great - I'm going to see them May 21 in Chicago and then July 1 at Summerfest in Milwaukee.  Only catch is this little thing called the G8 Summit that is being held here May 19-21.

I lived through the Endless Summer and Spirit Of America album era and attended quite a few concerts, as well. Those audiences could get down right rude when the band tried to play new music. 1974 seemed to be the tipping year. I saw them three times from early 72 through mid-73 and audiences were much more receptive to the new music, but that all ended by 1974. So, the U.S. audience gets my vote.

I lived through that era too, and I think you're on the money with that assessment.

I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

I agree with drbeachboy+ Mikie. We all lived thru the same thing..Beach boy fans of that era held the band back + by late 70"s the tide was turning. To BB credit The boys played music from every new lp they put out in concert. By 7-4-80  the tide rolled out + they gave in..To their credit didnt give up completely
In 85-86-89-90 BB still played MANY new songs in concert After that  things were different. But it did start in 74..Carl gave an interview in early 80"s that he said.1) Were dammed if we do + dammed if we dont.( New Songs} 2} Same interview..We can play a TURKEY of a show + people come back stage + tell us how great we are... No wonder they gave in..! But the cheerleaders  thing was too far..Even Al didnt like that.!

NO Jazz Fest... A mere 15-hour flight from home. I'll be there. I wanna be a part of history.

And I liked the fact that they'll do a couple warm-up shows before this.
