I almost started a new topic, but this thread might be the right place.
Who's handling the falsetto parts for M&B these days? Is it Scott? I know he sang Ballad of Ol' Betsy last year.
Baker, Foskett and M. Jardine have filled the role for the BBs over the last few decades.
But my question is this: when did Bruce quit his original purpose of subbing for Brian's parts on stage?
And how much did he ever do? While searching this site before posting, I see Al is credited with a lot of the work.
And I see that Bruce reportedly still has a very nice falsetto, even though my ears can't pick it out on TWGMTR and his C50 performance in Atlanta of Disney Girls sounded a little croaky.
How high is Bruce going in this year's shows?
Does he have any standout harmony moments in the show at all? It just seems his voice is lost in the stack unless he's got the lead like in DG or Wendy.
And, while I'm at it, who handled the wailing falsettos during the years of Bruce's absence? Looks like Baker didn't join until the early 80s.
Thanks!
I don't think Bruce subbed for Brian's high parts for all that long anyway - that seemed to be Al's domain on things like Live In London or In Concert, at least. If I can stomach listening to a 67 era boot, I think it's still Al.
As for his absence, Blondie, Billy Hinsche (right?) Al and Carl went up higher in the stack - certainly something like You Still Believe In Me has Al singing the verses whilst Carl takes the falsetto on the tag, for instance - a similar division is on DWB from the same record, Al takes the verses whilst Carl takes the choruses, maybe it gives each voice a chance to rest for a while. Post Blondie & Ricky, I'm not sure.

Scott and Randell both -- Scott sings the same parts he sang last year, while Randell sings the parts that Foskett sang (they have *very* similar voices.
As for your other questions -- in the 60s Bruce and Al used to both cover the falsetto parts, depending on the arrangement, but Al did most of them, while Bruce either covered Al's part or Dennis' (if Dennis had a harmony part on the record but was playing the drums). And obviously as Bruce became more prominent on the records themselves, he ended up mostly just singing his own parts -- in the late 60s and early 70s they were mostly doing new material that didn't have very much falsetto.
In the late 70s and early 80s Al and Bobby Figueroa used to cover the falsettos between them, though they largely just dropped the falsetto parts altogether, except on one or two songs like I Get Around where it's essential.
Bruce nowadays mostly sings Carl or Dennis' parts in the harmony I think -- he's definitely very audible in the smaller Mike & Bruce group, but obviously his voice is weak enough now that he got drowned out a bit in the reunion shows.
The only falsetto parts Bruce takes now are the tag of Fun Fun Fun (which he's always done, and he still sounds spectacular on), and the high notes in Disney Girls.

I wish they played Wild Honey at my show!!! I saw them in Macau, and it was 90 minutes of bliss. I soaked in every note of every song. I was in the front, touching the stage, in the very middle.

Audio is great, ok video. A guy actually runs on stage and start singing with Bruce during the church organ section. You can't see it in the video, but Bruce didn't look very pleased when the guy got up there. But they shook hands, Bruce whispered something in his ear, and the guy was taken off stage.
Great show, great night. I just wish it had been longer (and with more deep cuts).

I've often seen Bruce or Mike invite people onto the stage towards the end of the show to sing with them (usualy kids or young ladies), but rushing onto the stage without invitation is a pretty serious matter. I would think the guy got into a bit of trouble for it.

Mike and Bruce are gonna be out my way in August - Snoqualmie Casino - but I probably won't go. Those 2 were always my least favorite Beach Boys, but I don't doubt that they put on a good show.

Also, did Bruce do the falsetto on the end of "Fun Fun Fun" on the C50 shows?

He did, but I wouldn't know if he did it at every gig.

Macau security is pretty tight. I jumped on stage after the band left the stage to grab the setlist, and had a guy pretty much tackle me.
(got a setlist though

Just checked the M&B dates and see they're playing Montreal, a restaurant turned rock venue outside the city. Its costs CAD 75 (kind of the same in USD) and there's a free bus shuttle from downtown.
I also checked Brian's dates and he's playing Atlantic City. Prices start at USD 65 but good seats go up to USD 200. And would need to add plane, car or sth to get there.
So, guess I'm going to see M&B here, anyone else from Montreal coming?

I'm thinking about going to see M&B in Atlanta in October, but it's at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
I'd like confirmation that it is a full show and not just an appearance at a race. I don't want to see a short set in front of a crowd that came for a race.
I called the venue and they didn't even know anything about it. I said I found the info on the Beach Boys website and they said since we don't have it listed, it's not confirmed.

The Atlanta show is going to be at a state fair being held at the Speedway. I'd expect an outdoor stage setup.
Here's a link, but there's not much on the website for now:
http://atlanta.georgiastatefair.org/
Interesting that the venue told you it's not confirmed yet, since the date is listed on Capitol's official BB website.

Thanks for that info. I just wish I could get an idea of how long their set will be.
If it's a full show, I'll be there.
Maybe instead of contacting the Speedway, I'll try to get in touch with somebody at the fair.

If it's a state fair show, probably 90 minutes/35 songs, very heavy on the hits.

I saw them last night in east-central Wisconsin. It was a
good show, but not a
great show. They may have been tired from traveling, since they were in Iowa the previous night, and in England two days before that. Christian Love was not there for some reason, but nothing was said about him. At one point, out of the blue, Mike started talking about John Stamos, and how he never aged, and how he gets girls all the time...he talked for a minute or two about him, so I thought that he was going to introduce him. Nope. I guess he just wanted folks to know that they knew John Stamos. That was weird.
Cowsill rocked on the drums, and sang a mean Darlin'. Totten was great...nice guitar tones and good solos. Kirsch was
okay
good on the falsettos...no complaints here, but
I slightly prefer
I think I am more used to hearing Foskett's tone. Of course, nobody can match Brian's 1960s falsetto (no comments from you, H...you know what I mean
) in terms of feeling and timbre. Mike's voice was mostly good and strong throughout the evening, and Bruce did a fine job on God Only Knows.
Meat and potatoes show, though. No All This Is That. No Wild Honey. They did do Goin' To The Beach, which was kind of boring. They also did Cool Head, Warm Heart, which was the worst song of the night in terms of performance. The harmonies were off, and it sounded under-rehearsed. Lots of good songs, though, and I really enjoyed myself. The weather was beautiful, the music was great, and I'm very glad that I finally got to see these guys.

I'm not saying the show I saw was bad...quite the opposite, in fact. I just thought that the band may have been a little bit tired, but when I consider that Christian Love was not in the harmony stack, that might explain some of what I was missing. But you are right, AGD. 90 solid minutes of hit after hit after hit. It really is incredible how many songs they've released that most 'average, ordinary, casual fan' type of folks are familiar with. The festival trucked in a beachload of sand, and spread it out in front of the stage. There were lots of beach balls in the air. There were some pretty young girls dancing on stage at one point. It was, you know, a Beach Boys show. A summer celebration. And I had a great time.

No Getcha Back, but I think they did Wendy. I don't remember who sang it, though. I was probably too busy having fun, which is what the Mike and Bruce Beach Boys is all about. I do wonder where Christian Love was, though.

It's a good thing that you slept through the party, Mr. oldsurferdude. There were so many scantily dressed pretty young girls there having fun, I don't think your old ticker could've handled it. Now take your meds and go back to bed.
