I'll be there! I'm super excited. don't count on smartphone info from me though, I spilled water on it last month and since then it has become quite unreliable!

[ontor pertawst]

I'd be super excited about these shows if I hadn't FINALLY MOVED BACK TO LOS ANGELES AND BOUGHT TICKETS FOR MOST SHOWS WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE! AIEIIEIEIEIEI!! Wait, sorry. As you were. Beacon Theatre. Good venue. I wonder if it'll prompt more of this setlist tinkering Mr. Love was supposed to be doing... lay some Vega-Tables on 'em, Al!

[slickman9696]

I'll be there and I have a smart phone. I'll try my best to get any new info to you guys. Surprise appearances, different song on the set list, etc. I'm really stoked for this performance.

[Rocker]

lay some Vega-Tables on 'em, Al!

That would be too cool !!

[Shady]

Have a great time everyone, should be a special show..

The beautiful Beacon

[The infamous Baldwin Organ]

I'll be there, can't wait! Great venue. Saw Brian and Al there some years back.

[Zach95]

This is going to be a big one.

[Aegir]

why is everyone so confident about this show's awesomeness? because it's in a theater and not a casino or outdoor venue?

[ontor pertawst]

It's New York! There will no doubt be a lot of media scribblers in the crowd gathering material for the next few months of Beach Boys stories and blurbs. They'll want to put on a good show!

[The infamous Baldwin Organ]

The Beacon Theater seems like a much more intimate venue than any of the other shows they've played so far on this tour (I may be wrong). If anything changes in the setlists, it's usually in the smaller venues. And I'm just plain excited.  

[Aum Bop Diddit]

Have a blast my fellow Noo Yawkers -- I cannot go due to work but hope to catch them in NJ in June.  But the Beacon will always be special -- that's where I saw Brian on his first tour.  What a night that was.

[MarcellaHasDirtyFeet]

I'm jealous of anyone who's going to this show at this most perfect of venues. Damn my job!

Just saw the Allman Bros. there in March. Gregg Allman... A drug casualty who's really showing his age now. Still plays a mean B3 though.

Benedum theater Pittsburg PA, 2800 seat art center Friday May 11th.  I hear there are some seats available.

What is the Beacon's capacity?

[slickman9696]

Hey all. I'm here and checking in. I've got balcony seats and I'm about five min to show time, but there were a lot of people still waiting to come in, so it'll probably start the concert usual ten min late. You can really feel the energy in the room. Also, there were a lot of people outside asking for extra tickets.

This is really a good indicator of how many different age ranges follow these guys. Almost every age range represented close to equally here. Okay. More later. And if I can figure out how to load pics from my phone to here I'll do it.

I am waiting for the show to start. Gonna be a good one...

Thanks!  We appreciate it!

Stamos is here. He played drums on way too many songs.

[Zach95]

Stamos is here. He played drums on way too many songs.

No...no...this cannot be true.

[slickman9696]

At intermission. We got a Stamos introduction, then he came on to close out the last few songs. All the songs are normal set list so far. Everyone sounds amazing! This is some good stuff. They do a cool musical stop in Do It Again which really added to the song, and Brian sounds great. It is so nice to see him smiling over there by the piano. He still just stares every now and then, but he has had an abundance of smiles. Bruce was great on Disney Girls and of course Al was great on his tunes. Mike is on point. Oh yea, Bruce did this jump thing in I Get Around which cracked me up. Nothing crazy yet, but I'm hoping for some cool guest. We'll see.

[b00ts]

Show is excellent so far. Minor quibble with Stamos on drums, compared to Cowsill. They sound amazing.

[slickman9696]

Okay, now I have to mention this too. Someone is smoking some grass up in here. I'm hoping they have a prescription or else they're in trouble. lol
