Umm,  they started doing it last month. Cowsill sings it. There was a thread on it and Cowssill even posted.

Carl sang it in Madison Square Garden in '75 or '76

[Tony S]

I was at the Garden shows over Thanksgiving when they encored with Wild Honey. 16 years old and I was like 'WOW". Great version too by Carl.

[RubberSoul13]

What else did they play in Englewood last night? Very glad to hear "wild honey" is still in the set...I'm fairly certain it debuted at their last gig in NJ in early April.

under m & b tour 2013

Yeah, there you go. I figured that thread would just be full of people arguing that Mike & Bruce weren't the real band and they were a bunch of greedy jerks and blah blah blah same thing we've been reading for years.

I'm kinda glad I didn't know about it in advance, it was a wonderful surprise.

Ya almost have to read every thread here, since you never know when someone will change the subject

[Gabo]

It's gonna be the new album on Mike and Bruce's new album of rerecordings of Beach Boys classics. The lyrics are going to be changed to be more Beach Boys like, however...

While it's very cool that Cowsill loves the song and convinced Mike to do it, it's not like Carl came back from the grave and ripped it out. It's only slightly more exciting than if Papa Do Run Run had done it. If they had done it on the C50, that would have been cool.

That said, Cowsill does a great job of singing while bangin them drums.

[Cowsii]

I didn't convince Mike to do it. I was asked to sing it seeing how no one else was up to the task. Yeah it's fun to sing. So is Crying by Roy Orbison. So is I'll cry instead. I was as surprised as the rest of you here when Wild Honey was put out there. Like I've said before. I'm just the drummer. I don't think I'm Carl. OUCH on the papa dig. What'd i do to you...Enjoy the music, people.

[Cowsii]

OH! and thank you for the nice compliment at the end.  Has anyone here ever seen the norther lights?

[Cowsii]

I meant to put off topic before I asked about the northern lights

[Justin]

You do a fine job on the tune, John!  Love your work in the band.  Hope to see you guys if you come by the LA area in the future.

By the way, any chance you picked up the new Live album just released a couple weeks ago?  Any thoughts on it?.... is it a nice memento of the tour for you? 

Rock on!

Yeah, you nailed it John. Being a medicore bass player who can't chew gum and play at the same time, your performance knocks me out. Sorry, rather see you with all the Beach Boys vs. Mike/Bruce.

Papa played my Prom with Dean Torrance way back when so they have a special place in my heart. So not that big a slight. Rock on man.

Will check out N L.

Nope! I don't have the cd or the dvd. Without even listening, the live show for me was and is better left live.  That's how I want to remember it. It was THE best time in my touring life. I'd rather listen to an audience recording of the show. The rawness is captivating. I've heard some youtube stuff that I liked. Most, to All, with a few exceptions, live recordings get taken into the studio and everything but the drums gets re recorded. There is not one live Eagles Album. Even my own live Cowsills in concert was "sweetened" at united (ocean way) back in the day. My dad had already kicked my brother Bill out of the band for smoking pot and hanging out with guys like Waddy and Brian. So you hear my brother Bob introduce himself like he's Bill. Just BS. We weren't able to re sing much back then.  But at least it was organic and natural. OH and they didn't have auto tune either. hahahahahahaha don't ya hate that sh*t! I mean it has a place but only a dash could be fine here and there but the over use is equivalent to making a cake with just frosting or making a whole wooden table out of wood filler... just saying. But I have not heard the live album nor viewed the dvd and probably may not... man I would love to hear all the raw recordings and see the raw footage. And i wish they had recorded ALL the shows. It got better and better as it progressed...anyway. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. From the players in the Bar to big shots everywhere...enjoy the music..ALL KINDS!!!!!

If you're really John Cowsill, that was easily the best post I've ever read. It's really refreshing to be reminded the guys playing our favorite music are just as big of fans as anyone, and that you prefer that raw, live sound. You did a great job bringing it to the show I saw last year!

Smart move John. Steer clear of the terrible (IMO) live CD/DVD and just enjoy the magic of the youtube vids and your own memories
