BB members attending BB (or BB solo) shows without participating

[rab2591]

Apparently Mike has a knack for standing by doors at memorable concerts...

For what it's worth, not actual Beach Boys but John Cowsill (and his wife the Bangle), Stamos and all of the Honeys were at Al's show at the Roxy back in 2012

I believe Mike was in the audience for Brian's Roxy show back in 1999 or 2000 from which the live CD was culled.

I was there, and there were a LOT of celebrities in attendance that night, but I didn't see Mike.  Brian was presented with a RIAA Gold Record for Pet Sounds that night -- it had just been certified -- and if Mike had been there I think he would have wanted to be a part of that.

Gold and platinum.

This made my day.

Winner!

That probably was Audree BTW. I was at a Costa Mesa show in 92 when she was introd on stage, so she had previous..

  Ahh, the Gold Presentation. That kicks my memory. ( couldn't remember for certain I was there) But yeah, I was. and Coach too. 
If Mike had been there, we'd have definitely heard about it

I was there as well and stayed for the post performance meet and greet with Brian. Didn't see Mike Love, nor did I hear any conversation about him being there.

Certainly Audree attended many many shows in the past-she basically went on the road with the BBs in the summer of 73 after Murray died for example-but I don't know if she was at that particular gig

[guitarfool2002]

Sounds like Mike wasn't there at the Roxy, if we take the word of those who were there.

Glad that's settled.

But what about the possibility of clandestine bathroom visits, like a twist on the writing of Wouldn't It Be Nice's lyrics back in '66?    Maybe Mike managed to duck into the john at the Roxy just enough times to avoid being spotted.

Maybe people were actually too busy watching the performace on stage to notice some guy standing by a door?

Especially if the guy was wearing a Groucho disguise, he'd be hard to spot. 

[KDS]

Brian Williams was there.

Groucho? Or Zeppo?!

Brian looks very relaxed! Pictures 2 and 3 are different.  Also Van Dyke Parks is there too!

Yes, I have a whole series of these photos.  The close-up of Brian is a separate shot.

If you're talking about the guy in the blue shirt with the beard, that's not Van Dyke.

Is that Melinda Ledbetter (with face obscured) sitting next to Brian?

Yes, Brian and Melinda arrived backstage together in a Limo.  They were not yet married.  To answer another poster above, Audree was also present that day.

I know it's a lot of effort to read the whole thread sometimes, but to answer the question yet again, yes, Audree was at the 8-94 show in Torrance CA with Brian and Melinda. I saw them all with my own eyes. Even snapped a picture of myself with Brian. I talked briefly with Carl about his whole family being there that day. Yes, she was there.

I'd love to, but I'm embarrassed to say that even after 10 years of being a member on this board I can't figure out how to post pictures on here...

[southbay]

I made it my avatar, hopefully it can be seen...

I'm talking about the guy to the right of the picture with the red shirt, blue hat and moustache. This would have been around the time Brian and VDP were recording Orange Crate Art.  Could it be VDP?

Great photos. 

Oh right. That's the pic of VDP after he ate all those jelly donuts and added 50 pounds to his face...

Well the camera does add a few pounds. 

Maybe he had his accordion with him to play Summer in Paradise.

Hoping this doesn't dilute the Gold and Platinum status to unlistenable, but I was too… Mike was not.

Bette Midler was there as well.
