The Beach Boys at Boston Pops 4th of July

[Mike's Beard]

Anyone here watched it? The BB's perform at roughly the hour mark with a full orchestra backing them.

I liked it! Fun Fun Fun sounded kind of avant garde

I liked it! Fun Fun Fun sounded kind of avant garde

as the pisces brother said

'avant garde a clue?'

 



actually, astonishingly good!

[Loves The Sunflower]

Rather enjoyed that. Particularly pleased that excessive liberties weren't taken in arranging the parts played by The Boston Pops Orchestra. I've heard music that would lend itself well to such a setting mutilated by the addition of parts that don't serve the songs and/or have no bearing on the original incarnation of the material... most of "S&M" by Metallica leaps to mind.
