Went to an M&B show last night and noticed something interesting -- Bruce made the call for the audience to come down to the front of the stage and dance, just like Denny used to do so many years ago in BB shows. I don't recall seeing anyone make that call in any of the recent touring entities
I don't recall Dennis doing that...

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Denny called the audience down front a lot during the '70s.

I don't recall seeing anyone make that call in any of the recent touring entities (BAD, M&B, C50, etc.) in a long time, but it's something I like seeing revived. Was this just a case of right venue, right time?
At the shows I've been too, no need to make the call. They come anyway. Been that way for years.

Yes, this sort of thing was encouraged at the show I saw this summer during the encore (Kokomo/FFF) but I can't say I remember Bruce or anyone specific really starting it...it just sort of happened!

I have tickets to a Beach Boys Christmas Show this December--it was advertised as their "annual" show that they chose to have here in Omaha this year. Is that accurate--do they really do a Christmas show every year? Anyway, it should be a fun time.

Certainly in December, their shows tend to have a strong seasonal bias. Odd, that.

I understand "Frosty the Snowman" was met with a huge applause, however, the rest of the show was met with a rather cool response.

I saw their Christmas show last year. 40 songs with a 6 song Christmas set in the second act. Bruce sang "White Christmas", I believe. It wasn't overlong and it didn't seem like they had to drop much to add these songs in (we still got "Disney Girls", "Warmth of The Sun", "Wild Honey" etc). I enjoyed myself.

Now and then: in 2013 they didn't play in January at all, just four shows in February, few more March-April, hit their stride in May, pretty solidly July-August, dialled back a bit in September-October, nothing in November and a handful in December

Can the pro C50ers in the room tell me how Brian was going to manage this? (.....asked as I'm running to the nearest shelter

The normal effect on an audience waiting for the lovester's intro for BTTYS to end. None of them look too pleased about it.

I can't answer for any of the other "Pro-C50" crowd, but I didn't expect Brian to just plug into the Mike and Bruce traveling county fair road show. I thought it was a shame that Mike and Bruce didn't agree to the higher profile events that were being offered. You know: Madison Square Garden, New Years, second album offer, etc, etc, etc.

Not that this should come as any surprise for anyone, but on the BBB Bruce today mentions future bookings in process....All the way into 2017, so I would venture to guess this doesn't bode well for any reunion within the next few years.
Some news: We have booked 75% of our 2015 concert dates and we are trying for Australian dates for Novemberish 2015 or March 2016. We are even booking 2016 dates and planning out 2017.

Both songs sound forced, almost like trying to keep up with a drum machine. Not pleasant to these ears. And the constant cheerleading from BJ is too much. I've lost my desire to see them again.

I thought it had been made blindingly clear, by at least two of the principals and in recent times, that a C50 style reunion just isn't going to happen again.
