BW & Band: private show @ House of Blues, Dallas (October 12th 2012)

[Shady]

Ritchie is a great sound engineer; he has been mixing Brian's shows for several years. He also engineers for Buffett.  The mix at RAH and at Wembley had huevos !

Eggs ? 

Yes, eggs.  Not only does he engineer Buffett, he also engineers buffet.

 

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

That was classic. Lettuce not forget that one.

[Shady]

This is a trifling matter

Your premise that "the whole reunion was done in line with what Brian (or Melinda) wanted" is thought-provoking, but wasn't the case at all. There was considerable compromise on both sides, and the notion/agreement to even do a C50 tour goes back somewhat longer than most suspect. None of the events of recent times have been conceived in isolation. I'd wager there's been some pretty high-powered horse trading been going on for some time.

I didn`t mean it literally. I meant really that the method of touring was much more in line with what Brian does solo and the touring band contained all of Brian`s main people. Obviously Mike would have wanted some assurances and would have pushed for certain things because otherwise he wouldn`t have given up the M&B show.

Brian does Dallas!  Where's Debbie?  Where's Taylor?

Hey, there's one Tasty Brother - all we need is Jimmy Hines and we got two back! 

Cool to see Bob Lizik back on bass, even if it might be temporary.

Time heals all wounds?

Time wounds all heals

I live in Dallas. Could I have gone if I wanted to? Of course it says private show so I assume not.

SMiLE will never come out. The tapes are distroyed


distroyed? haven't heard that story before..

Piece of advice - if you don't mean something literally, don't state it as fact, they way you did. Aside from tending to make you look a little foolish by claiming to know something you, in fact, don't, it also rather annoys those folk who do know what was going on (and I'm not referring to myself here, before someone jumps on that remark as self-aggrandising).

Fair enough but I think you could do with chilling out a little. You have jumped on quite a few people recently for no particular reason.

Everybody on the forums is giving their opinions on situations but that doesn`t mean that they always use `imo` in every post. I didn`t state what I wrote was fact and as I`ve already stressed that it wasn`t meant literally and you`ve said that you weren`t annoyed then there`s not really a problem is there.

Yes, I have, and it's not something I'm particularly proud of... but as it happens I have an excellent, non-BB connected, reason. Which is of course no excuse.

[Pretty Funky]

All the best Andrew.

BTW. Unless I've missed it. I don't recall reading anything from you with regard to the London gigs. Did you attend any?

Well I hope the situation clears up, take care.
P.S. I also would love to hear what you thought of the show(s) you saw on the tour.

AGD 'jumped' on me once, putting me right where I was wrong. As he had every right so to do. I stated something that was incorrect and he corrected me. Nobody died, there were no natural disasters....maybe I and a few other people learned something.

I believe AGD was at Wembley but I didn't manage to meet him. Probably to his advantage

That`s cool and I can understand that. For what it`s worth I apologize for a jokey comment I made in another thread about you `experimenting with the dosage` at the moment as I meant nothing by it. I value your writing on the band and have transported your book with me thousands of miles around the world. Hope all will be good soon.

I was indeed at Wembley - dude with the silver goatee and the stars'n'stripes rugger - and I was just blown away. Never seen Brian so engaged. EVER.  All round, a magnificent gig and a fitting end to The real Beach Boys. It was a welcome oasis of joy in a desert of general sh*t.

I hope things improve for you Andrew.

I hope things improve for you Andrew.

So do I!

Me too.  My heart sank when I found out BW played less than 15 minutes from where I live and I knew nothing about it.  Hell, I'd have even just listened from the parking lot.

You know you're a Brian Wilson fan when......
