You jammy bastards.....  
Upon closer inspection.... what the hell is this?

Good catch hypehat!

Looks to be another mini concert out in Central Park to be televised for the ABC morning new program "Good Morning America"...much in the same vein as when Mike/Bruce did the Today show a few years ago except obviously a bigger venue here in Central Park.  So they do a small (5-10?) song set in the relatively early morning, that afternoon they hop on a plane for a 90 minute plane ride to Maryland for a gig that same night.  These guys ain't foolin around!

It's part of Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series, so parts of the concert will be aired live, hence the early morning start time. I read a press release somewhere that said the concert starts at 8 a.m., but fans should start gathering at 7.

Correction: 7 a.m. and gathering at 6.

Here's what their facebook said:

"You are invited to a free Beach Boys reunion concert event in Central Park live on Good Morning America! The concert is on Friday June 15, 2012- Please arrive at Rumsey Playfield/SummerStage via the 72nd street entrance on Fifth Avenue at 6:00am when the park opens to the public. GMA will be live from 7-9 am. No tickets needed. For more information visit gmaconcerts.com."

Just saw this as well. Good Morning America on the ABC network. The TV show begins at 7:00 a.m. with the concert performances usually happening later in the show. They'll be performing for TV but they'll probably perform a little more after the show is finished. Get those DVR's fired up!

Found this random link on Google. Stamos isn't getting much love on the comment thread:

Which means if you live in the middle of Long Island (ahem...), you've gotta be up at 4 AM, so you can get to the train at 4:45...

What time's soundcheck?

[Sheriff John Stone]

At 6:00 AM, I hope they blast "I Jut Got My Pay" from the loudspeakers.

Didn't even know they played GMA too--thanks for the clips.

Man, after watching them on this current tour I really can't watch ANY old version of the Mike/Bruce band now.

What time is the "meet & greet?"

[seltaeb1012002]

Dang, that's early.

I might pull an all nighter and head out there being that I missed them at the Beacon.
