Another UK Appearance - Later On Jools Holland BBC TV

[EgoHanger1966]

I hope they do "Isn't it time" over TWGMTR

I think that's about right. I think they realise TWGMTR is too risky to do in that setting. Besides, the next single is Isn't It Time so they'll want to promote that as much as they can.

[Disney Boy (1985)]

I just hope Jools doesn't decide to join in and start playing awful 'boogie woogie' piano over their set, as he is extremely annoyingly prone to doing.

[Aegir]

Brian loves boogie woogie!

[pixletwin]

Pretty awesome seeing pics of The Beach Boys on  the same stage as Johnny Rotten.

Do It Again

[Lowbacca]

Watching it NOW instead of learning for the exam tomorrow....  

They're opening with "Do It Again"..

[STE]

Now Muse (yawn...)

[Lowbacca]

MUSE right after BBs is weird........ somebody please pan the camera over to Brian's face.  

EDIT: Is the whole show going to be like this? One song by the BBs, one song by MUSE, one song by... and then back to the BBs for another song before going 'round again? 

[STE]

Seems like...
Now PiL

[D409]

A marvellous rendition of Do It Again...but the whole show should really have been a Beach Boys special !

BTW, for all of you non UKkers:  http://livetvcafe.net/video/SRYB965N9UH6/BBC-Two

Barbara Ann acoustic, just the guys (and Jeff)

[Lowbacca]

Interview!

Brian: "Hi, Jools!"

(...)

Bruce: "We're not through at all."

(...)


Now singing "Babs Ann" with Holland on piano.. Brian's nicely audible. Dumb song choice, though...   Good job to make the guys seem dated.



EDIT: Haha, THE XX following "Babs Ann"....  

[D409]

Looks like Jools Holland fulfilled his boogie woogie piano obligations on Barbara Ann there ! 

[STE]

Hey I don't mind this band playing now!  What was their name again?

[STE]

Oh-oh!
That's Why God Made The Radio!

[Lowbacca]

"That's Why God Made The Radio"!

Brian's really going for it!

[Shady]

Disaster

[STE]

Ouch!!

[Lowbacca]

Disaster

Vocally a little shaky here and there, but very lively. And Brian & Bruce very audible.  

[CarlTheVoice]

Every time I've heard that being played live it's been awful. They should do Isn't It Time instead. Carl would have thrown a million stares there!

"Isn't It Time" would have been the better choice, no argument there.

Hmmm... "Do It Again", "Barbara Ann" (...  ), "That's Why God Made The Radio" and that's it? Poor choices, Mike.

[BergenWhitesMoustache]

Without wanting to be overly negative, TWGMTR, the song, is a total steamer. There is no such thing as a good version of it...it's one of those 'stunning return to form' songs artists of a certain age turn out that is then kindly forgotten within a couple of weeks

Awful choices, a total waste

[John Manning]

Not the best night they've ever had.

DIA was okay if a little lack-luster.
Barbara Ann round the piano without the backing band was a huge error of judgement as it just served to show the point their voices have reached now.
TWGMTR was a good band performance but vocally left wanting.

Foskett's falsetto was grating tonight (sorry, that's an old drum I've not personally banged much) and I'm wondering if his voice is beginning to break (!).  Is he even singing in the same key?

Al's voice, still the best preserved of the lot, was mixed way too low and lost; it could have redeemed the entire performance.

God, I love this band…
