Show 2: Verizon Theatre - Grand Prairie, TX 4/26/12 (SETLIST/PICS/REVIEWS)

[Nicole]

Bruce and Al sounded amazing. They all did, but I was really impressed with Disney Girls and Cotton Fields. And it may have been my excitement preventing me from hearing anything wrong, but I didn't hear B-Pain tonight! It was so great. I wanted to cry when he sang Surfer Girl, haha.

I'm actually glad they moved California Dreamin. I think TWGMTR and CG would go nice together.

No "This Whole World" tonight? Please guys, you've gotta play it in Atlanta!

ATTENTION BEACH BOYS "THIS WHOLE WORLD" IS ONE OF YOUR BEST SONGS!

[Ron]

Looks like they're off to a strong start with these two shows, I hope Brian is enjoying himself. 

[Shady]

Someone threw her bra at Al.

I second this. It's an uptemo, catchy little song. It's one of the happiest songs there is, and I really hope they play it in St. Augustine.

[Ron]

I'll bet they're leaving a couple spots where they'll move songs in and out from show to show, so each show is slightly different.  They'll probably bring it back, it's a great song.

I DO have pics of Bra-gate 2012, but can't post them until tomorrow. Many other shots, too, that I'll have to sort through, sine I know many aren't good.

[Ron]

Man the ones that were posted from you were awesome, so I'm sure we'd enjoy about anything you felt like sharing. 

[Sound of Free]

I've said it before, but I think one of the greatest things about the reunion is David being a part of it. He looks like the happiest guy in the room.

Yes. d00d deserves to get his dues, this is making it happen and you can tell he appreciates it.

[Aegir]

I too feel really happy for David. He never really got a chance to experience, on the same scale as everyone else, the adoration for the music he helped create, so it's great he's on this grand tour.

Fantastic

[Runaways]

What kind of camera were these pictures taken from?

I guess Brian didn't wanna do this whole world :/

[Pretty Funky]

Yes it is great for David. I would love to hear what Carrie has to say about the events of the last few months. Come on 'the Powers that be'. If there is a gag order on those around the band commenting, give a little and stop being so @nal!

BTW. Mike's looking pretty trim in the above pictures.

[Ron]

I think this is very important to Mike.  He knows the significance of this tour, and the Beach Boys have been his entire life, he really doesn't have anything else, other than family.  He's taking this extremely seriously, i'm sure, even to the point of trying to look good. 

David does look so thrilled in all these pictures, that's great.  Every picture he's grinning from ear to ear, but I guess he's always been like that, the early pictures he has the same smile.  Seems like a great guy.  It's really good to see him finally get his dues, you've GOT to imagine that he's looked back on those couple years with a lot of fond memories... and now here he is back in the tempest. 

There's nothing better in life than seeing something that you thought was gone... come back around one more time.

great post sir!!

[Les Chan]

Another good night of worthwhile reading and  I love the pics too.  Can't wait to see AL holding the BRA.. 

[Ron]

Do we have a size estimate on that bra?  Any of the ladies able to tell?  I mean what kind of woman are we talking about that the bra came off of?  I guess really you can't have a bad size, though.  LOL

Honestly the more I think about it, I think I'd much rather see who threw the bra than who caught it. 

[shadownoze]

A green bra is tossed onto the stage, narrowly missing Mike. He gingerly picks it up...

and hangs it on Al's mic stand as Al is imploring Rhonda for help.

[Ron]

I love how Mike is nonchelantly doing it, like it's a job, and something he's used to doing.  He kind of has this "Well, here we go with this sh*t again" look, LOL!

Great!

[stack-o-tracks]

 

That's great. Did Brian have any reaction to it?

[shadownoze]

After Rhonda ended, Mike said to Al, "It looks like someone is offering you a cup of tea."
And Al said, "Or TWO cups, actually."
Pretty funny.
In answer to previous question, my pix were just taken with my iPhone. I have a lot of blurry ones, but some came out okay.
