The Beach Boys: Stamos, Love, Johnston

[STE]

The setlist is up on lastfm from Seaworld...nothing surprising but, has anyone seen any from the other Florida shows? Curious as to any changes.

Set list for Hard Rock Live, Hollywood, FL 2/18/13



Nothing new, if not the separation of SloopJB and WIBNice.

[Pretty Funky]

As I expected. No 3 album last year?  Nada!

Well, I'd love if their recent work would get some promotion. But I doubt Brian, Al and David will play anything from TWGMTR

How long before people start going apeshit because "Mike is stealing the setlist from the C50 tour?"

Thanks!

The new break in "Do it again" (here at 4:00) makes you realize how special the last year was. This can't compare with the full harmony sound that was part of The Beach Boys' shows.

But I guess people will complain that he and Bruce seem to wear 50th anniversary celebration hats

Cool, thanks for sharing that.  On a side note, the lone comment posted to that video should come as no surprise...

[I. Spaceman]

Nor should the second.

Let the man speak his mind! Already got run off here for the same thing IMO.

No-one's stopping him speaking his mind, though.

[Mike's Beard]

It was a pretty good concert. The harmonies seemed a little thin. Obviously I'd gotten a little too used to hearing Al in the blend again.

That's rough.

Mike looks well though

Agreed, seeing the C50 crew do these song justice was fun while it lasted.

It was a pretty good concert. The harmonies seemed a little thin. Obviously I'd gotten a little too used to hearing Al in the blend again.

I can actually see advantages to both ways -- there's a lot to be said for the "wall of vocals" approach on last year's tour, where every vocal part except some of the leads was essentially triple-tracked live, but I also quite like being able to pick out each individual voice and hear what it's doing, and with the exception of Christian Love all of Mike & Bruce's band are very fine singers.

I actually think the Mike & Bruce band is missing far more instrumentally than it is vocally -- and that's not a knock on the instrumentalists in their band at all. It's just that two synths can't possibly substitute for real trumpet, sax, french horn, vibes, percussion, harmonica and so on. Bruce and Tim Bonhomme can't possibly, between the two of them, cover all the parts that Probyn, Nelson, Darian, Paul Mertens and Scott Bennett covered without cutting corners.

Mike & Bruce's band are capable of some very, very good vocal work, as anyone who's heard them doing Til I Die, All This Is That or Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring will attest, and to my mind if they just replaced Christian Love with Al Jardine they'd be pretty much perfect on the vocal front.

Well its a Brian show with guests so a few obscure songs other than the hits often make the list. A chance for 'Summers Gone' depending on the audience maybe?

I don't mind Christian's voice, and I think he sounds good on some stuff, but his stage presence sucks.  He just looks so bored, like he'd rather be anywhere else than playing in his dad's band, and he half-asses his vocals.

Yeah -- he's a lazy, lazy singer. Which is a shame, as he has a very good voice.

His Carl-like tone is great when he does try.

His youtube comments are keeping it real....

[I. Spaceman]

As are mine. I'm so happy to have a new dartboard, sans moderation.

[gfac22]

And I'm happy I'm all stocked up on popcorn.

[I. Spaceman]

He just wants attention, though. I shouldn't be giving it to him, so he can just fade away.

On the other hand, that video is pretty bad stuff.

[RubberSoul13]

I'd say that video was average. There were some vocal moments from the band as a whole that made you go...woah. Personally, I thought Bruce sounded great and it was nice to hear him stick out in the mix much more than an the reunion tour...still convinced his keyboard isn't turned on however.

As for the setlist above from hard rock, thank you for posting. It's certainly a bit more spicey than this show. I like Bruce's lead on "Wendy" and "Disney Girls" and John Cowsill on "Darlin". I've actually never heard "Dance, Dance, Dance" live, so hopefully that one sticks around for the concert I'm going to this summer.
