It truly was an amazing show. Every single person in the crowd that I saw, young and old, sober and wasted, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Easily the highlight of my Bonnaroo experience.
I'm not surprised that "Sail on Sailor" went over so well, Brian seemed to really get into the vocal on that one. I sure as hell loved it!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Pitchforks write-up from it's festival coverage.
Quote
It was another reclusive-genius type who provided the weekend with its biggest surprise. The Beach Boys' Sunday afternoon set had all the trappings of sad-making state fair fodder: there's another band serving as a safety net behind the remaining five Boys, and villain/hero Mike Love still has the slight scent of used car salesman on him. The tempos have slowed some, the harmonies certainly don't pop like they used to, and 20 seconds into "Do It Again", it wasn't clear if everybody knew they'd gotten started. A few songs in, though, things got good, and kept getting better.
The cars-and-surfboards songs are all but etched into America's DNA at this point, but no amount of boomer-ish mistiness for some imagined past can dull those melodies. And Mike Love pays just enough lip service to Brian Wilson that you almost forgive him for all those lousy years when John Stamos had him convinced he was Jimmy Buffett. Al Jardine's voice is spot-on, David Marks got off a couple truly ripping solos, and Bruce Johnston's clearly having a ball. Wilson, behind the piano through most of the set, isn't singing much, and when he does, it's a little shaky; he's got both a teleprompter and a guy to help finish his lines when he can't hit the notes. But when he takes the baton-- on "Heroes and Villains", a mini Pet Sounds-suite, and a knockout performance of "Sail On, Sailor"-- that cheaply nostalgic "'member when" feeling all but melts away. The songs from the new That's Why God Made the Radio are awfully schlocky and over-arranged, and nobody really needs to hear "Surfin' USA" and "Surfin' Safari" in a half-hour span. But they sounded better than any band who survived both Uncle Jesse and "Kokomo" ought to, and they absolutely nailed "Wouldn't It Be Nice". That's a good one to nail.

Absolutely enormous. After the Boys were done, most people stayed put for Bon Iver, who played at 5:30. It took me at least 25 minutes to get way over to the side so I could find a spot to sit in the grass...it was very stressful, haha! People really pack together at these shows.
Sounds like a nightmare
This is my favorite pic of Mike Love ever, from Bonnaroo
Yeah uh I like that picture
I'm sure Mike liked that picture too. "I must add you to my collection!"

I saw a pic of just Al and Bruce at a press thing after the show. Where were Mike and Brian? Too busy with all those young ladies throwing themselves at them? Between that gal with Mike and those girls on the bus with Brian, you know their egos were getting really inflated.

This person has uploaded a whole bunch of stuff..full songs..mostly from the second half of the set...great quality, it's like you're there. Check it out!
Honestly, this is like some of Mike's most inspired performances I've seen in a while. A few scenes reminded me of Knebworth 1980--I'm not sur if that's good but Mike shed like 30 years in this performance. Very cool to watch.

I wonder why there were so many positive reviews of Sail On Sailor. Brian certainly did better jobs on that song during this tour.

He's also done a lot worse. And not everyone has been following this tour, natch. The Beach Boys dropping that song in a major festival set is still a big deal to the casual fan.
Also, in this video of Good Vibrations, Brian clearly isn't feeling it - Jeff keeps pointing to him to sing the second verse, and Brian just, well, ain't.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXVNsTr9QPY&feature=relmfu
(before 'Jeff is Satan', I'm sure he's very much aware no-one wants to hear him sing GV - they want Brian)
Kinda worried about Wembley in this event - the bigger the crowd, the more Brian gets freaked out and so things like this are more likely. Whilst Wembley is going to kick my ass into next week, kinda wish they did the RFH or something instead.

Exactly! Let us not idealize those festival goers as hardcore, deep-catalogue fans. The set was right on!

Must say from what I have seen and heard , Mike was superb at this gig ( he must have slept well after the show )- How does he do it ?
I wish I had half his energy , and I am 25 years younger than him
