No British dates?! Devastated

[Andrew G. Doe]

That's accents - even I know Canada is in Montana.

Sigh...you can tell a Canadian from an American by the way they pronounce certain words.

Anyway...this is a great digression from us Brits being "devastated", isn't it?

Wouldn't they have realized the UK was going to be an issue early on in the planning for this tour? 

No. I love America and the American people but, bless them, they can be outstandingly insular: a few of my US friends talked about visiting the UK this summer so I jokingly told them not to even think about London last week July/early August... and not one of them knew WTF I was referring to. Likewise the Jubilee celebrations in June. I'd say it's entirely possible no-one in the BB/BW organization knew about the London Olympics until they tried to book hotel rooms. I'm reliably informed that the coverage in the States has been all but invisible.

Aha! Andrew says that people in the BB/BW organisation have been trying to book hotel rooms in London! I think he knows something...

Oh details, details. They can really pose a problem when left unattended.

If the Boys are finding a lack of appropriate London facilities, perhaps they can disassemble a suite of hotel rooms stateside, ship them across the pond at great expense, and reassemble them in a London highrise. We have the technology.

Oh, and to go completely full circle, have Jack Rieley supervise the entire operation. 

I know what you're thinking...Is Jack Rieley really superman?

Seriously though. Fly in- fly out trip. No hotel rooms needed London. ie Charter aircraft. Germany- London- concert- Germany. Done!

Hee hee!  I'm a bit like Andrew and tend to spread myself around    I also have "A Life" 
Love you all really.

That would be an option if they weren't all pensioners. I think Brian and Mike and lil' Al might need some decent sleep after a show...

David's a young'un and will be rocking out all night til the sun rises, he'll likely have the breakfast ready for the rest of them in the morning

So apart from all the US/UK bashing, there's still no news on any UK dates?!?

No bashing here, just lighthearted banter. In answer to your question - no news regarding UK tour dates.

[Shady]

This is more for Irish fans but a friend of mine who works for MCD promotions says The Beach Boys are in negations to play Phoenix Park, this isn't really a secret since it's been reported in major Irish Newspapers

If worse comes to worse and UK dates don't happen (which I doubt) this could be a safety net

I think i'll save up a little bit more and head to Berlin. I don't fancy seeing them in a field, much rather go to an arena.

[Gdraft]

It's not happening in the UK is it?

[Paulos]

Who knows, there is still that 9 day gap between the Belgian festival show and the first Japan show but I don't think it's going to happen.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Hang on there Paulos, I thought you were Latin Amercian!

Even more gutted now after hearing the new song today. I can't get to any Europe dates due to the Olympics and my job. Superb new tune, doesn't look like I'm going to ever see the boys together. Really gutted.

Read the latest press release about more tour dates to be announced including new European territories.  (Actually, didn't the US used to be one of our territories?)

English guys, I'll chime in with an igorant american's opinion.

To americans, there are only about 4 countries.  America of course, then there's Mexico where all the mexicans are from, and we've heard there's a war over in Iraq, which Afganistan apparently is a part of.  Also, there's England, which sometimes is called the United Kingdom.  Those are about the first 4 that pop to mind.

So, with that said, I can assure you, there's absolutely no way they won't play ANY shows in England.  Even I, as an ignorant american, would find that to be a slight. 

[CarlTheVoice]

Surely these new European dates include the UK? I would be so surprised if they announced others but not us! Anyone know if this new list might include anywhere in the British Isles?

If they don't and instead they have a French date I am rowing myself over there.......

Really? Anyone got a link to this news?
I'd be very disappointed if the UK got missed out completely, we did give them a load of support in the early days and all the BW concerts I've been to have been packed. Come on boys!

You forgot Russia. Definitely a country. Otherwise, you are more-or-less correct and yes, Iraq is a province of Aghanistan---the worst one.

DUH Ronald Reagan got rid of Russia.  I remember reading watching a show about 'egypt' on t.v. once too, but I think I saw on the news where they made Egypt illegal now.  So back down to 4.

Didn't America have a war with someone once, from 1942-1945? I think it was Canada, which as everyone knows is now one of the 50 states of America after it replaced Delaware.

We put our left-over food in Delaware containers, which we buy at Delaware parties. They're like tea parties, only not in Boston.
