[Freddie French-Pounce]

WOTS AND ASL MUST BE THE FINAL SONGS OF THE SUMMER TOUR SET AND BARBARA ANN MUST BE EXCLUDED

I INSIST

WOTS? I assume ASL is All Summer Long.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

I hope they play HKHB and BOJ, but lets be honest, we'll be lucky if we even get GDP! On the other hand........JDW anyone?

I INSIST

WOTS? I assume ASL is All Summer Long.

Took me a minute to figure it out. But it's Warmth Of The Sun.

Would be a terrible song to close the show out with. This is the song they play maybe 5 or 6 songs into the setlist with Mike all "now we're going to slow things down a minute with this song I wrote with Cousin Brian the night JFK was shot.... It's called Welcome To The Jungle.

Y'wot?!?!

hmmm

HKHB =  ?
BOJ = Bank Of Japan?
GDP = Gross domestic product?
JDW = ?

Seriously, the use of acronyms relentlessly on this board have made it increasingly difficult to understand what people are referring to. Obviously Iron Horse was joking, but many people do write like that consistently.

See your point, but personally I find "BTTYS" a lot easier to type, plus working it out ain't neurosurgery. Anything for an easy life, me.

'zactly. But do be fully prepared to be eventually  called out for being "lazy".

BTTYS? I honestly find something like ChildITFOTM better, as at least then its easier to do a quick search! as losng as nobody abbreviates Surfin' to S

WOTS AND ASL MUST BE THE FINAL SONGS OF THE SUMMER TOUR SET AND BARBARA ANN MUST BE EXCLUDED

I INSIST

There are higher chances of Carl & Dennis joining the reunion tour than Barbara Ann being excluded...

[Ron]

As bad as Barbara Ann is, it's much better than the original.  MUCH BETTER than the original. 

To be honest, the best person I've ever heard sing it is:  Jeff Foskett. 

think about that for a minute. 

[Alex]

As far as I'm concerned, they can chuck the all the car songs right out the window. Bring on Feel Flows, Long Promised Road, Marcella, River Song, Mess of Help, Cool Cool Water, Vega-Tables, Anna Lee, Little Pad, Our Car Club, Sufers Rule, Louie Louie, Carl's Big Chance, Hushabye, All This Is That, Worms, Da Da, Child, Wonderbill, SOS, Leaving this Town, Funky Pretty, Mt. Vernon and Fairway, Rollin' Up To Heaven, Trader, Don't Go Near the Water, etc.

I think you made a small mistake here laddie

[Rocky Raccoon]

They should close with a post-encore Love and Mercy like Brian usually does.

[Emdeeh]

No L&M, please! That's ending the show in a "down" mode to me -- too low tempo.

[hypehat]

It's been posted on the Bloo by a close source that L&M won't feature on the reunion shows, which leads me to believe that no solo material will feature at all.

[Summertime Blooz]

I hope they play HKHB and BOJ, but lets be honest, we'll be lucky if we even get GDP! On the other hand........JDW anyone?

Hope they play ATIT (cause the acronym is naughty)

That's the way Brian's been doing it for years, I doubt he'd want to change that.  I certainly hope he doesn't, I always thought that it's a perfect way to close.

[Ron]

Perfect way to close a Brian Wilson concert. 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Perfect way to close a Brian Wilson concert. 

Which this pretty much is.  Brian is the focus of the tour whether it's promoted that way or not.  It has to be, otherwise I doubt he would go along with it.  After all, it's pretty much the five surviving Beach Boys backed by the Brian Wilson band.  None of those guys like Foskett or the Wondermints would do this without Brian.  And they outnumber the Boys altogether.  And personally, if Brian weren't involved in the tour and it were just Mike, Al, Bruce, and David; I would frankly have no interest in seeing that show.  And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on that.

[LostArt]

Perfect way to close a Brian Wilson concert.  

Which this pretty much is.

I disagree.  I don't want to hear any solo stuff at this Beach Boys Celebration, I don't care if it's Brian's, Mike's, Al's, Dave's, or especially Bruce's  .

Brian is the focus of the tour whether it's promoted that way or not.  It has to be, otherwise I doubt he would go along with it.

Again, I disagree.  Brian knows this is a celebration of 50 years of Beach Boys music, and I'll bet he's more than happy to share the spotlight.  

After all, it's pretty much the five surviving Beach Boys backed by the Brian Wilson band.  

Actually we don't know exactly who will be in the backing band at this point.  According to the Beach Boys Band site, the band will feature two of Mike's band and five of Brian's, and even that has the disclaimer that the backing band is subject to change.

None of those guys like Foskett or the Wondermints would do this without Brian.

As a working musician, I'll say this...if I got a call from Mike Love asking if I'd like to do 50 dates with Mike, Al, Dave, and Bruce, I would jump on it.

And personally, if Brian weren't involved in the tour and it were just Mike, Al, Bruce, and David; I would frankly have no interest in seeing that show.  And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on that.

You're probably not alone on that, but I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of folks who would love to see that show, myself included.
