I'm hoping for a "God Only Knows" with Brian on lead, won't be a dry eye in the house
I'm curious to see what band they use also

The Beach Boys have still not been officially announced, but if they do perform, I predict they will play Do It Again. Mike gets the lead on the verses, Brian gets the bridge. If they do a medley, it won't be complete songs, but rather a bit of this...a part of that.
I realize this is a totally dumb question at this point, but there's been no announcement about The Boys performing.
Does anyone really think they will be at the Grammy's to peform?

If it is a "surprise" appearance--WHY would they be announced?

You have a point. What what else could they do that is somehow "special"?
Just do the stroll?

I would say the signs point to yes. A lot of plugged-in folks have said that's the plan.
I do think to expect more than a single song is overly optimistic. My bet is "Do it Again," too, possibly at the top of the show.

Very few acts get to play more than one song at the Grammys. There's just not enough time, especially considering all of the other acts scheduled this year.
Nicki Minaj
Bruno Mars
Adele
Coldplay with Rihanna
Foo Fighters
Glen Campbell with The Band Perry and Blake Shelton
Katy Perry
Taylor Swift
Kelly Clarkson with Jason Aldean
Bruce Springsteen
Paul McCartney

You can now add Tony Bennett.
I'm now picking opening act, one song (a rocker) 'Do It Again', which will tie -in with the full video available Monday along with tour details.

If its a opener I think Do It Again or California Girls will be a good fit, if its a closer maybe Good Vibes?

this will be great if it happens
Rehearsals would be happening this week at Staples in Los Angeles, so we should look for sightings of The Boys.

The good thing here is it sounds like the new album is being worked on which means Mike is singing. Some of his, shall we say, out of season TV appearances the last few years have been very weak yet during the touring season it comes on strong.

And Chris Brown, Alicia Keys, Bonnie Raitt, and Carrie Underwood. Looks like Tony Bennett will be performing with Carrie Underwood. Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys will do a tribute to Etta James.

I'm kinda surprised everyone's picking "Do It Again." The Beach Boys get one shot at wowing the fickle Grammy crowd and they choose DIA over other guranteed mega smash hits like "California Girls" "Surfin' USA" "Fun Fun Fun" or "Good Vibrations"? I get it..DIA is sort of this tour's unofficial "anthem" (doing it again and etc) but I think the crowd needs a staple hit to remind them just how great they are. DIA is one of my favorite songs but I wouldn't suggest that as the one song to play at the Grammys.

It may be just me but if I was a potential concert goer this year and they did 'CG' or 'GV' I would be thinking "same old-same old".
If its an opening song to get the crowd on its feet, 'DIA' does it for me.
(expecting to be totally wrong come Sunday BTW

Yeah I get it...the drum intro...the guitar and the rest of the instruments coming in one by one...Nice buildup sure--- but how well known is DIA? I can't see a crowd of 20-30 somethings stand for DIA..."California Girls" probably. I'm not sure the crowd would think "same old, same old"...the Beach Boys are never on TV performing. It may be old to us...but not to the general public.

Mostly Brian's.
They'll do DIA or Good Vibrations. I guess it'll probably be DIA.
oh, and of course Stamos will be there

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

It's gonna be great!
I'm backing Do it Again - as per above, it fits the occasion - in terms of DIA's appeal to "current" listeners, it was used effectively in "Happy Feet"; one (only) speculative example of how BB stuff manages to keep rolling on and has the potential to strike a chord with a broad audience.

What about CA Girls intro, straight into DIA? That would work…

Someone here will know it but another artist did a song a few years back with the DIA intro as the beat.
Anyone?

May have been this

I'm guessing Brian will open with "I Went To Sleep" singing in a huge canopy bed and then he can go to sleep, the lights will go down and then Mike and the guys will come out and tear through Kokomo/Good Vibrations!
Or they can really capitalize on the Smile steam and open the whole show with Our Prayer!

The problem with good vibes is that it would be a Brian lead. IMHO if you have one shot at a grammy performance, and you've got accomplished and natural performers like mike and al, you don't go with a Brian lead. Not because he can't pull off a great vocal, but because of nerves
