Question for Scott Totten about upcoming Bloomington, IL show

[jiggityjars]

Hi Scott,

I just heard that Sunday, 8/29/10, at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, IL has been added to your calendar. Will this show be more of a greatest-hits type show (casino show), or will it be one of your longer theater shows? I wasn't sure since it's in an arena and not a "theater."

I'm excited that you're going to be in my backyard, but it will be a little hard to go to this show without my dad who passed away last March. He became a huge Beach Boys fan after seeing them in concert in 1973 with Blondie and Ricky. After that show, he went to the record store and picked up every Beach Boys album he could get ahold of, including Sunflower, which blew him away. I put on some of his old Beach Boys vinyl one night and have been hooked ever since.

Anyway, thanks for your time, really looking forward to the show!

Hi Chris-

I'm glad you're coming to see the show, sorry about your Dad.  I don't have any information about show length at this point, I am sure it won't be a casino length show but I can't say how long it will be.

Is there anything in particular you'd want to hear?

Hi Scott,

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I couldn't get into this site for a few weeks for some reason.

Thanks so much for asking for requests! I know you guys haven't played it often lately, but I'd love to hear "Warmth of the Sun." Otherwise, "God Only Knows" is always a favorite.

My dream song request would be for Mike to sing "All I Wanna Do" from Sunflower. His lead vocals are just fantastic on that one. It's really a crime that the Beach Boys have never ever played that one live (at least according to Eric's Setlist Archive). Here's your chance to make it right

Thanks again Scott, see you in Bloomington in August!

wow, when i saw scott's "is there anything in particular you'd want to hear" i instantly thought of "all i wanna do" would be amazing, but highly unlikely. nice choice chris! here's to hoping you'll get it!
