@Micha: there's one song missing on your setlist. "California saga: Part3"
Must've accidentally deleted that when I added Disney Girls.
Still a bummer they didn't do Dance Dance Dance, one of my top 3 BB favorites.
On Monday I recorded the ZDF Mittagsmagazin hoping there would be a report, and so it was, 3 minutes. Unfortunately whoever did that seemed not to like the Beach Boys: "Dynamik ist was anderes", he said, and then he found a guy who claimed his girlfriend has been irritating "everybody" by playing a Beach Boys cassette in her car for ten years. Jerk. At least he acknowledged the quality of the song "Summer's Gone". Bruce got to say in an interview that the only thing that has changed in the concerts for him over the years was his eyes got bad so he can't tell whether there really were spectators or if they had just painted the seats. That made Al claim ".. and I'm deaf."
So here's the revised Berlin setlist:
Do It Again
Little Honda
Catch a Wave
Hawaii (Dave lead)
Don't Back Down
Surfin' Safari
Surfer Girl
You're So Good to Me

It's OK

Be True to Your School (Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen)
Don't Worry Baby

Haha, they probably had a commentary ready before the concert even started. It's typical german TV to report about stuff they don't know nothing about.
BTW in some reviews it was mentioned that the last time the Beach Boys (Mike & Bruce) played in Berlin was 2003 (somehow no one mentioned Brian's solo concerts in Berlin) and they said it was not good and fans were complaining about it. Does anyone hve more info about that?
One thing that I was reminded and didn't mention before. Mike should really be more careful with his tambourine. It's very annoying on GOK, because he only knows one way to play it (on uptempo songs lke SloopJB it sounds good) :

Are you sure other countries' TV reporters don't do that? :wink
One otherwise good newspaper article claimed that Brian never performed with the Beach Boys in Berlin before. This source says they played Berlin in 1964 (November 17):

I heard many reports that the Beach Boys didn't play Berlin since almost 50 years. I guess it's just that most of them don't know about the history. They probably think that after Brianstopped touring in '64 it was the Mike & Bruce show, Al's Family & Friends and Brian solo. It's very strange what's been said and I really don't know how they get to those conclusions. Does that happen in other countries ? ;D
