Your ideal BBs setlist

[Alex]

I know this had been done before  ,
but what is the ideal setlist you'd love to hear/see in a BBs/BB-related concert, be it Brian, Mike and Bruce, Al, or any historical or imagined incarnation of the group?

I'd like to see any just about incarnation of the group do my setlist...but only if they do it well...

[punkinhead]

Who do you want to sing lead on the Dennis and Carl tunes?

[Eric Aniversario]

I may have time to type out a setlist later, but the setlist would include at least 120 songs with three intermissions!

[phirnis]

Alex - any setlist that includes both Roller Skating Child and Anna Lee The Healer is a good setlist. 

[PrayForSurf]

I'll respond to a revised version of the question - "If you won a contest and could select  5 songs that the Beach Boys would perform live, what would they be?"

For me:
  1. Little Girl I Once Knew
  2. Break Away
  3. She Knows Me Too Well
  4. Wake The World
  5. You're So Good To Me

(not enough time to construct a 30 song set list ...)

[Sheriff John Stone]

The setlist that Mike & Bruce have been using for the last couple of years is hard to beat.

[TdHabib]

I've contended that a setlist like RobMac posted, Brian's stuff from 2001, 2002, is by far the best setlist anybody could hope for. Maybe another Love You era tune or even another Dennis thing. But Brian has said he gets sad doing "Forever," and tries to keep it off the set so I guess not.

Yep. That was the exact set of a Pet Sounds show from 2002 in Chicago that I saw. As far as hitting the highlights from Brian's entire career and including the crowd-pleasing hits, that is damn near close to a perfect set.

I don't think Outie knows how to use message boards properly. 90% of his posts have a-slightly-relevant-at-best youtube video link.

I love Wild Honey too, but I don't know if I'd want it in there twice! haha   

Great setlist though; I think I'd enjoy that show.

You should see him on the Britain board when Bruce is posting.

hahaha And I thought it was some kind of inside joke between the two of you!

[Awesoman]

I don't have an ideal setlist but I have to give props to Mike and Bruce as in recent years they have dusted off some old chestnuts I never thought they'd play like "Getcha Back", "Forever" (sung by Uncle Jesse! ), "Good Timin'", "It's OK"...even "'Til I Die".  Guess even Mike got a little tired of only singing "409" all the time.
