Would that include Brian Wilson?

I knew Joe Thomas had to be lurking somewhere. "Your Imagination" is not that great of a song and it's not one of Brian's favorites or he would have performed it more often. Joe is another weird figure who seems to exert some kind of strange pull on Brian. Brian has strange taste.

I think I'm officially losing my mind...because...
To me, Joe Thomas looks like some weird hybrid of Murry Wilson and Beethoven in that shot.

So that's Joe Thomas. I guess that answers the question of whether he is involved in the BW solo album.

a few thoughts on my Pittsburgh experience...
Old Folks At Home/Old Man River was a total surprise. One of my all-time favorites, I recently learned it on guitar... I only wish they had played the entire arrangement, with the key changes and harmonica solo. Still, what a treat!
Little Bird was a wonderful treat as well. Dave told the story about falling out of a tree in the neighborhood and breaking his arm I think, and Dennis said, "Which tree was it?" and chopped it down! He said Dennis always had his back. When the song was over Al said, "That's dedicated to that poor tree."
Too bad they didn't follow it up with A Day in the Life of a Tree!
Brian seemed quite engaged for the most part, most of the between-song banter came from him, as awkward and offbeat as you'd expect from the man. It's disappointing when Brian misses his parts but I think he is so used to Jeff covering him that he's just come to expect it which allows him to be a bit lazy or less on-the-ball than we'd like him to be. Brian is Brian, he's never going to be a great showman but he was definitely trying his best, at least most of the time.
Al is such a wonderful presence to have on that stage. He seems so invested in the material and in Brian's welfare. His little remarks after certain songs like, "I love that one, Brian!" or "One of my favorites, Brian." just come off completely genuine and warm. I just love the guy! Dave also really has a warm and easy-going manner that just puts things at ease. These guys really are the heart and soul of the Beach Boys, and seeing them WITHOUT Mike and Bruce is so nice, I've got to say.
My understanding of the Don't Worry Baby/Surf City story is that Dave actually played on both sessions, thanks to a call from Brian. He said he had already quit the band, and came to the studio after school one day. The way he told the story, it sounded as if both sessions took place in one day, but that obviously wasn't the case.
Interesting that Brian didn't play any bass. I wonder why... his back didn't seem to be giving him any problems. At the end of both sets, Brian was off his piano banch and heading for stage right in a flash. But after Summer's Gone most of the band was just leaving the stage, including Al and Dave, but Brian headed to center stage and just waited for everyone to join him in the final bow, which took a minute. That was a cool moment.
All in all, a wonderful show. Highlights for me were Catch A Wave, Girl Don't Tell Me, the aforementioned Old Man River/Cottonfields medley and Little Bird, Our Prayer, Marcella, Pet Sounds and Summer's Gone. Disappointed that they dropped Breakaway from the setlist... one of my favorites. But the others made up for it. So glad I made the trip.

Disappointed I will not be able to make any of Brian's dates!
They are just too far away, and work schedule makes it impossible. I really hope he adds a few more dates, especially near me on Rochester.. I will be seeing Mike and Bruce the beginning of August.

"Accidental"? I'd wager the guys knew they were being photographed.
But yeah, I've always thought he looks like the typical music biz / manager type. He might actually be a nice guy and decent human being (Brian likes him..), that I obviously can't judge, it's just his actual professional influence on Brian's music I don't like. I think many of us feel that way.
P.S. Joe Thomas being in that particular photo doesn't have to mean he's in any way connected to this particular tour. He's probably just visiting.

Of course by "accidental" I meant "the one photo I accidentally happened to see of him which may be not the most flattering".
He doesn't look that creepy here:

I don't know if I can really judge that. I don't know what the last BB album would sound like without his influence. I like the 90s Paley influence better, I can say that.

How much influence Thomas has is an interesting topic. But I somehow doubt he's dictating adding that song. Brian has occasionally resurrected the song post-1999. Brian's opinions of songs can change as well. He was rumored to rather dislike "Let It Shine" when it came out, yet it was supposedly his idea to add the song to his setlist in 2000.
