What is your "fantasy" set list for Brian, Al & Dave 2013

[leggo of my ego]

I'll post mine later.

List your to-die-for set list - performed by Brian, Al, Dave + Beck (if you desire)

It doesn't matter if the songs have been done live before or not, its a Fantasy List
so anything goes, we will assume they can pull it off.

I'll try to weigh in later with my actual "dream list" but for now, I guess here is as good a place as any to put the following.  When the idea of two groups of Beach Boys competing for the same market, I noted that the best thing for the audience would be to have each band concentrating on what makes them different from the other and put together separate sets for each of them.

[Jim V.]

I know it says fantasy, but I'm gonna go with a reasonable, but still hopeful setlist:

1 "California Girls" (Brian)
2 "Little Deuce Coupe" (Al)
3 "Melt Away" (Brian)
4 "Don't Fight The Sea" (Al/Brian)
5 "Please Let Me Wonder" (Brian)
6 "Little Bird" (Dave)
7 "This Whole World"
8 "Surfer Girl" (Brian)
9 "Then I Kissed Her" (Al)
10 "In My Room" (Brian)
11 "You're So Good To Me" (Brian)
12 "California Feelin'" (Al/Brian)
13 "Dance, Dance, Dance" (Brian)
14 "I Get Around" (Brian)
--intermission--
15 "Do It Again" (Brian)
16 "Marcella" (Brian)
17 "Lookin' At Tomorrow (A Welfare Song)" (Al)
18 "Heroes And Villains" (Brian)
21 "Wonderful" (Brian)
22 "Vega-Tables" (Al)
23 "Sloop John B" (Brian/Al)
24 "Wouldn't It Be Nice" (Al)
25 "Caroline No" (Brian)
26 "God Only Knows" (Brian)
27 "Goin' Home" (Brian)
--encore--
28 "Good Vibrations" (Brian)
29 "Help Me, Rhonda" (Al)
30 "Summer's Gone" (Brian)
31 "Surfin' U.S.A." (Brian)

I know there's stuff like "California Feelin'" that Brian's never done live, but I figure since it's featured twice on the boxset, along with Brian and Al having solo versions of it, that might be one they'd try sometime. I also know that stuff like "Wonderful" and "Caroline No" don't seem to be played anymore, but I think they would make nice choices.

[Generation42]

Encore

Think About the Days
From There to Back Again
Pacific Coast Highway
Summer's Gone

Yep, this right here.  100% this.

Hell, I'd even like to see "Strange World" (and later this year, any other new 'Life Suite' numbers) performed, but at the very least, a medley of "From There to Back Again"/"Pacific Coast Highway"/"Summer's Gone" would be sublime!

edit: I should mention that any fantasy set list would have to include "Surf's Up."  Yeah.

[Nicko1234]

Loads of Al leads!

Honkin Down the Highway
California Saga
Santa Ana Winds
California Girls (Al singing)
I Get Around (ditto)
Help Me Rhonda
Something from Postcard
...

For Brian I think some of the easier songs to sing

Caroline No
Til I Die
Please Let me Wonder etc.

You`re Still a Mystery would be an interesting one from the box.

[phirnis]

THIS!

Play Love You in its entirety, then leave the stage and don't come back for an encore, just leave it at that. Would be an unforgettable experience for anyone attending, maybe in a bad way for some but that's what great art is all about, isn't it?

Yep, and it has ben like that for years. No clue why.

Try    '    instead of    "    . Might help.
