Brian, Glen, and Bruce touring timeline, December 1964 - July 1965 (Version 1.1)

[Shane]

This all begs the question: what was the circumstances concerning Brian's touring in early 1965?  I wonder if Brian was positive about the idea of occasionally going out with the rest of the boys, or was it a case of "Hey, Glen's got the flu, we need you whether you like it or not."

Obviously, Brian would show up during this time for the trip that was recorded for the proposed second live album... the March concerts in Chicago.  I don't think Capitol wanted to market a live album sans Brian.

It's early morning here and I'm on my first mug of tea... but I think GC had previous commitments and thus couldn't tour.

[Jonathan Blum]

I may be mistaken, but I think Brian also made a point of going out when the trip included TV performances.  Again, he was part of the public face of the band...

Cheers,
Jon Blum

Bruce's face was shown on the SMiLE album/booklet photos and in promotional photos of the era and the H&V single cover and promotion.
