Show 4: Chastain Park -Atlanta, GA 4/28/12 (SETLIST/PICS/REVIEWS)

[Awesoman]

I'm just going by what I saw and heard from a distance. This was before I got drunk. You can't bring your own drinks. 

Ummmm...yeah you can.  We did, and we did just fine.  Even brought in some Zaxby's.   

[astroray]

I was there. It was great fun. Brian played bass on "Barbara Ann" and "Surfin USA"  and yes he was standing up. "All This is That " was fantastic. Al was not utilized enuff. "Rhonda" seem to rock the joint the most. God Bless America and God Bless the Beach Boys!

[Doo Dah]

So we've got the alcoholic review of the show  which is fine, since we need to examine all the angles!

Someone should attend trippin' on shrooms or acid - that would provide yet another perspective. I nominate Ghost

Dude, there was a big sign that said no cameras, no camcorders, no beer, etc.
You had to buy the beer there, unless you hide it in a cooler.

Quick review. Show was great. A few things.

1. God Only Knows was incredibly moving. The idea to play to Carl on video is brilliant. No one else should sing that song.
2. I'm sorry to its fans, but they need to drop Kokomo. They could replace it with about 100 different choices.
3. Brian on bass. Yay

Any new gems in terms of the set list?

Guess I missed that sign.  We brought a big cooler in and nobody stopped us.  People had their cameras out and I recorded a ton of video with my phone (which I will edit together once my headache goes away).  Just a fun fact: I spent $125 or merchandise.  Bought the program, two shirts, a poster and a keychain.  Whew!

I've strongly considered this. I would cry like a baby in happiness. Not going to happen though.

I know based on Youtube snippets ...Al sounds by far the best! Really wish they could take some leads from Mike and give Al some more.

So... it's the 4th BB reunion show ever, and some so-called fan respects the event sooooooo much they have to get trashed between the sound check and the gig ? That's my definition of an asshole. 

[NatureShowInStereo]

Aw, he's not an asshole.  

Edit: As long as he wasn't making anyone else's experience any less exciting than it should be.

[lance]

How dare a so-called fan partake in illicit substances at a rock show?

[STE]

Interesting..
My definition of asshole is so-called fans that respect people so much they have to go around insulting them just because they don't agree with their choices.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Can imagine the conversation this morning:

"Dude, how was the Beach Boys gig ?"

"Dude, I have like totally no idea, I was soooooooooooooooo ripped !"

[John Manning]

Can't see the point adding any more deep catalogue cuts to the set list for audiences that get so steamed they can't recall what was played. Might as well be the Mike & Bruce Hayride.

This reunion show needs to come to the UK now, where the band and its awesome music will be listened to and appreciated to the full by a sober, interested audience.

We'd stay clean with Al Jardine.

[Mikie]

Now, that's what I really cared about reading on this thread.

"Yeah, man, I got drunk at the Beach Boys concert!  Duh hut!  Dude!  It was awesomely amazing!  Hickup!  Yeah.....I got so fuucked up it was ridiculous, dude!"

B. F. D.

I think being an as*hole is when you stand up while everyone is sitting down and block other people's view.
I payed a lot for my seat, but when I got there, there was a few weird people around me and I wasn't going to let them kill my buzz. So I moved over to the side area near the walk way, so I could jam out (like any true beach boys fan would) and the concert workers completely understood. I can't just sit down and watch a show, I want to enjoy it!

I remember a lot btw.
Just wish I could remember the full setlist. I'm sure someone's gonna have it soon. There's no way I can write down stuff like that and drink at the same time.

[John Manning]

Hope you caught the bus home after…

[SloopJohnB]

Edited: actually, I would probably have been one of those "weird people".

[Andrew G. Doe]

I'm sure this morning those 'weird people' are talking about the drunken asshole sat next to them and how relieved they were when he moved to the aisle. I've encountered many such individuals at shows, who think that shelling out for a ticket entitles them to get tanked and make a nuisance of themselves.

And I still can't fathom the logic of going to such an iconic gig with the set intent of getting sh*t-faced. I'm guessing you're a college/high school kid with an outlook like that.

Dude.

I always have a DD. Never leave home without one.

Why does AGD get to call people an as*hole, but we get baned for doing it? I've always had great discussions with people on this board and learned a lot, but I would never call somebody that. I just wanted to have a good time with the band I love. I was respectable the whole time dude. YOU WERE NOT THERE WITH ME.

You mean that you`re certain that nobody has ever thought that you were an asshole at a gig? Think hard...
