Nice crowd, looks sold out!
Brian does sound great. Lovin' this. Two things:
1. He pulls out the sandpaper like he did on the Gershwin's album "Ain't necessarily so"... "JONAHHHH he lived in a whale! Oh JONNNAHHHH he lived in a whale!". Love when he does that.
2. I think this is a great, great, great example of how Brian can perform when he's interested in the material. California Dreamin' is, if anything, a song that he hasn't gotten tired to death of singing over the years. It's probably still at least somewhat new to him, he's never done it in solo concerts, has he? Plus his long lost buddy wrote it. Also, it's Rock & Roll which Brian has been dying to do for 10 years now.
If they want Brian to stay involved, they need to keep him interested with stuff like this.
Rocker:
@Micha: there's one song missing on your setlist. "California saga: Part3"

Only got back to the UK late last night so haven't had time to post until now. After the mostly glowing reviews from the US leg of the tour the show was all I expected and more, I'm still amazed at just how good they sounded vocally with special mention going to Mike, how many other 71 year-olds can sing that many leads that well?! The a capella tags to some of the songs like Kiss Me Baby and Darlin' were worth the price of admission alone (special mention to Darian for his killer vocal on Darlin') and it was nice to see everyone have a chance to shine: David on Getcha Back and Pet Sounds, Bruce on Wendy and Disney Girls, Al on Cotton Fields and Help Me Rhonda, Brian on Please Let Me Wonder and God Only Knows, Mike on everything else. The only quibble I had was regarding the sound, vocally it was great but the mix for the instruments was a bit muddy but seemed to improve after the intermission. It was also great to meet my fellow Smiley Smilers at the Eastern Comfort bar boat before the gig, this was the first time I've ever got to hang out with fellow obsessed Beach Boys fans and by sheer coincidence it turned out Rob Dean was sat in the row behind me just to my left! All in all it was well worth the trip, no wbring on Wembley!
