So, who has tickets for Brian Beck this weekend?

You do realize we expect up to the minute setlist information, right? You can save time by not clapping in between songs and keeping us posted on the musical doings of young go-getter Jeff Wilson instead.

Here's Al "Mr Excitement" Jardine to get you worked up: http://somethingelsereviews.com/2013/09/25/were-going-all-the-way-back-the-beach-boys-al-jardine-on-touring-and-recording-with-brian-wilson/

Meanwhile, in the What The Hell is Brian Saying Today dept: “Hey, Al, I just turned 71, so we’ve got about 10 more years. We may as well give it our best while we’re here!"

Attention state of Florida. Remember to forget to remove your best quality recording devices from your jacket/purse/very large pants pockets this weekend. Thanks!

I've got tickets for the 10-5 show in D.C.   Warner Theater where I saw SMILE performed.  I'm really looking forward to seeing Brian there again with this lineup.

It really sounds amazing! Just the chance to hear Our Prayer and Surf's Up with Al prominent in the mix... ahhhhh! Sure hope they keep Little Bird/Ol' Man River...

 I'm going to the Greek Theatre show and a small part of me is going "go on, Oakland too..." -- but I have to go there the day before or something for the final round of Cinematic Titanic so the very idea sounds preposterous.

"Go on, Oakland too..."

Blondie on Sail on, Sailor!

Fine, just take my wallet now, ticket gouging pricemasters.

hmmm.... "Wilson said that he and Beck will play three or four songs from the new album"
