Book on Beach Boys concerts Next Year! !!!!!!

[Ian]

So,
A book by myself and Mr. Jon Stebbins on the Beach Boys Concert history will be published next year.  More information will be released as the release date approaches.  The book will detail every known show by the group.  As many of you know-I compiled the concert info at AGD's fantastic site http://www.esquarterly.com/bellagio/gigs.html  .  So-manuscript is done and in hands of publisher but there is still time to revise a few things-so for the last time-if anyone has any info and evidence (posters, tickets, etc) on shows that they don't see listed at this site (which was just updated again)please speak now-or PM me.  I'd like to have as definitive a list as possible.  In my estimation-there are still some missing dates-though I've found (with help from friends) a ton of them.  Thanks again
Ian

More required curriculum reading

Looking forward to it.

Can I suggest an eBook version with links that click through to audience recordings? (probably not…!)

Has Eric's site been a resource for this tome? Find myself referring to that one quite a bit.

Well done guys, bring it on.

[Ian]

Eric's site is a great resource and has helped me-and as a result of my own research he has updated a number of dates and venues on his site-so that all the resources people may check out are as correct as can be.  You're E Book idea sounds pretty cool to me!

You and Mark Dillon will able to race your Rolls Royces along Highway 1!

[Ian]

...you greatly overestimate the financial rewards of a book I think!  Perhaps we can race our Toyota Camrys....

This sounds like a great book!  I've been hoping for something like this that covers the history of their live performances.  These guys have toured for over 50 years!  That's  a lot of musical history.

[Mark Dillon]

I for one can't wait for this. With Ian and Jon at the helm, I know it will be an invaluable resource for us all.

[Jon Stebbins]

Ian's years of research will reveal page after page of fascinating new details about the Beach Boys touring life and their live performances...and all in a very deluxe photo-filled package. Its going to be a mind blower.

[MBE]

This sounds good. I knew both were doing books but it's great they are doing this together. It will be a keeper.

[Mikie]

Looking forward to your book, Ian!  I know it'll be a big success!

[Jay]

Sounds amazing!! I can't wait.  Will it have set lists for each show? Or would there be a special mention of any rare one off songs played once or twice, but never again? I have a concert ticket from a show performed at Blossom Music Center in August of 1992. I know you probably already have some documentation of the show, but I'd be more than happy and willing to send my original ticket, just as a confirmation that the show happened. I don't really have any memory of the show(I was only 7 lol), but at least I have the ticket.

[Rocker]

This is great news !
Ian, although I know that you know the threads I'll mention the "Beach Boys Magazine scans" and "Concert posters" threads in the media section. I guess there's a lot of information that can be won from them.

[Ian]

Yes indeed-Bgas and all his material was very helpful!!!!! Book is done and in hands of publisher-but if exciting new info comes to light I can still hopefully fit it in

[Wrightfan]

Awesome! I hope you have the show my Dad did student security for in the late 70's.

[Ian]

Which show was that?

I hope our web site will be useful for the 2001-2012 period:

[Ian]

Thanks for the link-didn't know about that site!

[Wrightfan]

Which show was that?

I believe 7/11/1979 at the RCC fieldhouse.

Don't know much else other than that Dad said all of them were there.

[Ian]

Yes that show will be included

[Ian]

Thank you and thanks to the numerous people that sent me PMs the last few days with updates and show info

[Justin]

Can't wait for this!

[Eric Aniversario]

Wow, this sounds cool!  Sign me up for a copy!  The setlist archive hasn't been updated since 2009, but eventually I will take a day off or two to update it.  Glad I was able to contribute in a way, and thanks to Ian for all the corrections and additional info added to the archive over the years!

[Fall Breaks]

Really looking forward to this!

[Steve Mayo]

best of luck with the book...
