Special REQUEST for the 50th Anniversary Tour CD tracklist!

[Eric Aniversario]

I'm very very grateful and excited about the 2-CD live set coming out in May...but I wanted to see who here would be interested in having "Cotton Fields" on there??  It is probably too late to modify the track list (release date is only a month out), but perhaps those who are involved in the project who read this board could possibly pull some strings to get a very last-minute request in?  Cottonfields was one of the highlights of this tour...Al did a great job as always, and there is no official live version of this released yet.  Who on this board would be excited to see Cottonfields on there??  

[SurfRiderHawaii]

Certainty.  Atleast as an iTunes bonus track. California Dreaming as well!

[Rocky Raccoon]

I want a third disc with 20 more songs.  Which would naturally include "Cotton Fields." 

[Mikie]

I want Darlin' on there even more than Cottonfields, Kiss Me Baby, and Please Let Me Wonder.

Maybe it's 'cause Darian sang lead that it's not considered.  Thought he kicked butti on that!

[Gertie J.]

20/20 all the way!

[Phoenix]

Definitely but as I said, my main "wish track" would be "Don't Worry Baby" with "Darlin'" and "Cottonfields" following close behind.

[Rocky Raccoon]

"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" is one I think really should have made the cut.

I hate to be greedy but there are some really head-scratching omissions on this set.....many of the highlights of the tour, night after night - Please Let Me Wonder, IJWMFTT, Cotton Fields....

[the professor]

Forget it lads this is futile. cotton fields is on the Japanese live album which we all have downloaded. I listen to it every day so Eric it should be no problem you have it.

The whole tour had fantastic setlists and it's probably only natural that a CD can't satisfy everyone. I'd love to have "Our prayer", "Cottofields" and "Summer's gone" there (or better the whole Royal Albert Hall show!!) but we can't have everything unfortunately. There are a lot of tracks included that we haven't had a official live version by The Beach Boys of yet

[Shady]

So many omissions!

[The Real Barnyard]

Maybe the Made In California box-set is the place for all this "Live - The 50th Anniversary Tour" outtakes.

[SloopJohnnyB]

Since this is probably the last LIVE Beach Boy CD/Album ever it deserves a deluxe 3 CD Box Set. It was a fantastic concert, anyway. 3 CD's, photos, back stage pass, guitar pick and booklet.

Maybe if the initial sales of the LIVE CD(s) are good we'll see something else. At least the other tracks could be available as a download.

[Awesoman]

Didn't they also perform "Let Him Run Wild"? I want that as well!

Did I miss something?  I have never heard of this...

He's referring to the Japanese concert live broadcast, which is circulating as a soundboard recording.

Exactly. I'd pay a premium for an overblown "Deluxe" 3 CD set. They could add a third disc with the rest of the songs. This is probably the last non-archival live release at least, so all the songs would be lovely.

Having said that, I doubt this CD set is still in the stage where it can be altered. It almost surely has to have been mixed and mastered with only four weeks left to go, perhaps already manufactured even. But if they can get more tracks on there due to fan demand, please do!

[Paulos]

Like others have mentioned there may be iTunes or Amazon download exclusives along with the obligatory Japanese version with bonus tracks. Does anyone know if the live versions of California Girls, Do It Again and Sail On, Sailor from the iTunes Isn't It Time EP will be the same ones as on the new live album?

[Eric Aniversario]

Re subject: I shall join some people here & vote for Cotton Fields as a bonus track. Whatever concert I saw on YT, Al did the great job on it. One of the highlights of all the shows, hands down. If not for that, I'd go with Summer's Gone (very enjoyed seeing Brian enjoying it, though not so keen on studio track), Why Do Fools (I honestly think it's better than Shut Down Vol. 2 v-n, never was a huge fan of the original, either. Very impressive performance & I like that they added an a cappella ending with every BB holding a note) or Betsy (cannot beat original, but still in one ranking with it, only it has different vocal touch).

Why Do Fools Fall In Love is on the tracklist.

[The Shift]

Far as I can see the Japanese version has no additional tracks but that was me trying to decipher a list on a Japanese website… might have been an import…

Endless Summer, Spirit of America and "Sunshine Dreams" (according to Google translate – Summer Dreams?) all getting another spin in Japan.

[Fall Breaks]

Sunshine Dream was an 80s greatest hits album, right?

Wasn't this the show where Al came in late on the chorus after the second (?) verse? Great sound, but Bad Timin'. Made it a concert rarity.
