50th Anniversary Tour Dates (as they roll out) (*UPDATED, Feb 15th*)

[Stegibo]

So, will the concert at the Jazz Festival be broadcasted somewhere?

[Justin]

Well the New Orleans Jazz Festival runs from April 27 to May 6th.  According to their official Youtube page, they will be broadcasting live from the festival from May 4th to 6th ONLY.  I do not believe they will be officially broadcasting The Beach Boys' portion of the show.  On the page, the countdown for the webcast is listed as 12 days (from today)...and definitely does not imply they are webcasting the performances on the 27th at all.  See:  http://www.youtube.com/jazzfest

And also from their Facebook Page;

"Have you checked out our Jazz Fest YouTube Page? We've put up a few videos to get you ready for #jazzfest2012 and don't forget we will be webcasting on May 4 - 6!"

So that's that, I guess.

Thanks for the info. Bummer!

Exciting!  Do let us know your thoughts.  I think we'll be setting up an "official thread" for each night there is a gig so that everyone can post all their personal stories/pics/videos in that one specific thread.  So later in the week, you should find a thread on the board just for the New Orleans gig.

Just posted, the program cover for the reunion tour:

Very nice...I'm really digging the official logo/images for the tour.  I'm just realizing now that I'll probably be spending a whole lot at the Merch table now 

[Rocker]

Soo...the tour starts tomorrow(!)...just wondering how we're going to handle the proceedings here on the board?  With each new date that rolls around, I'm sure there will be news articles, pictures and of course videos posted like crazy.  Are we just going to keep going on this particular thread and post until it explodes?  To me, I think we should devote a thread to each individual date just so comments/reviews/pictures/videos can all be organized in its own thread--instead of just jumbled into one long thread. 

Just wondering before things start to go really crazy around here tomorrow....

Yes Justin , I was thinking the same about having a thread for each gig etc.....

Also can't wait to see reviews , youtube footage , stage set , set list , Al fluffing his words (who cares  , fans spoilt underwear    WHATEVER can't bloody well wait, bring it on

Maybe a separate section could be added to the board for the reunion gigs. On the other han, we have a section that lists reviews of cconcerts. So we might as well just post the concerts there

[Justin]

I know Rocker, but even with the sub-board available I honestly foresee people posting many threads here on the General Discussion section regarding the shows.  Almost no one goes to the Concert Review section and unless someone can 100% moderate this General Discussion board to catch all the "tour review" related posts and move them over to the Concert review section---I see a mess of posts in both sections, if not  all of them scattered around the Gen Discussion board.  We'll see....

There is one song that I know of going on the set list that has a couple of small sections sung in spanish (but it's not "Kokomo")...

What could it be?

[Lowbacca]

Hey, Mexican Girl
A diamond in your hair
The soul of Los Feliz
Where laughter fills the air
Won't you make me smile?
Light up my sun dial?
Girl, you cast a net
On the day we met

Mexican Mexican Mexican Girl
Dance your way into my world

Hey, Mexican Girl
We'll light the burning fire
Heal me with your passion
Inspire me to inspire

Burning all night strong
As tender as a song
Help me understand
Make me a better man

Mexican, Mexican, Mexican Girl
Dance your way into my world
(Te quiero)
Hey bonita muchacha
Don't-cha know that I want-cha
Hey bonita muchacha
I need to know that I gotcha

You have my sacred heart
We'll finish at the start
Can you picture me
In your family tree?

Heyyy, hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey
Heyyy, hey hey heyyy
Mexican Girl
Mexican Girl

Jeez, you're right.  That's what happens when you thoughtlessly copy and paste.

Hi First post but here goes, I was looking forward to completing a lifetime ambition which was to travel from the UK to see the Beach Boys in their home state of California. I couldn't believe my bad luck when they announced all the Californian dates were in the dates of my vacation which has been bought and paid for and can't be changed without loss of funds. Then to add insult no UK dates have been announced, which although not being California would have been a substitute. Do you think the Band will play any more dates in the USA especially in California when they return home, or has my chance gone for good?

In a new interview Bruce Johnston stated that the chances of them continuing to tour (after the string of already announced gigs has concluded) are rather slim. Sorry, mate. But in the world of the Beach Boys (just like in Spiceworld  ) you never know what may happen. And you can always catch a Mike&Bruce show after that.

Check any ticket broker websites?

Guess that was probably going to be the case but thanks for the information.

did i miss something, why would IJWMFTT be in spanish?

It's kind of hidden in the back in  the sometimes I feel very sad section of the song. I think they isolated that part also in the Pet Sounds boxset too if I'm correct? There's been a few threads that have been spent trying to figure out what it means.
