People have complained about Dylan shows for decades. He often plays smaller venues than BW these days.

Complaints have increased about McCartney’s shows over the last five years or so, as he lost his voice.

BW, given his history, is doing well enough. The layperson would probably not be able to tell the difference between his shows from the last decade or so. Folks buy tickets because he’s a legend. They know — and have known for many years — that he does a very particular kind of thing.

I went to McCartney's last show of the tour in London earlier this year - he was in fine fettle, and they only brought out Ringo Starr for the encore. An entire stadium lost their sh*t.

Any issues he has with not putting in 100% onstage are nothing compared to Brian! The guy sings and plays for 3 hours without taking a sip of water.

I had nosebleed absolutely-back-of-house seats to McCartney a few years back and thought the show was a lot of fun. Yeah, his voice isn't all there but they double him up with people that can sing. It works out fine.

Al had a "no photos" sign up at his table when I saw him in Minneapolis, but he was there to chat, shake hands, and sign stuff. I kind of regret not bringing an LP with me, but I bought his Postcards album.

I certainly laughed; in fact I LMAO.

Anyone who didn't find that harmless little ditty hilarious must be either a millennial, a feminist, a politically correct moron, a democrat or all of the above.

We need more of this kind of humor in our angry society – not less.

So you're saying only old, crass Republican dudes and young children find this funny? 

During a chat I had with McGuinn, he gave me the entire backstory to the tune. The song -- at least McGuinn's contributions -- happened around '73 -- long before Landy -- when BW very randomly showed up at his Malibu house in the afternoon in search of piano -- literally: "Hey Rog -- you have a piano, right?"

A fair amount of partying ensued.

Long story short, McGuinn told me he woke up the NEXT morning with Brian playing the song "HARD," having run through it non-stop over the course of the night.

In the documentary "Echo in the Canyon," McGuinn said Brian came by in search of drugs unless I'm misremembering.

The ticket office ended up charging my card again for a ticket, rather than refunding me.

Riveredge Park in Aurora, IL had a disclaimer when purchasing tickets that if the event was canceled, no refunds would be given, only credit to other performances at their park. Thankfully they've gone ahead and offered refunds. I had tickets to both Aurora and Nashville, and I have to give props to their teams in quickly offering refunds, and the customer service rep with Riveredge was really patient and kind, and said that everyone there is just hoping Brian gets what he needs.

Hoping for more east coast dates as this is fresh, exciting, and THE ZOMBIES! He'll be 20mins from me at the Hippodrome for the *second* final performance of Pet Sounds at the very same venue he played the final performance in Baltimore for three years ago    In 2016, it was near sold out...now, nearly a week out from the show it is less than half sold. I've been watching, wondering if prices will be slashed as the date approaches...but when there are no seats under $100, I can't justify a fourth Pet Sounds performance from Brian in current form.

I did this for Brian's Christmas show. I ended up getting a 3rd row ticket for $12 about an hour before the show.

[Imagination]

We now have BW shows with only one solo BW song and BBs shows with 3 or 4 ML solo songs, who woulda thunk ? Personally, I'm fine with Mike sprinkling in multiple solo songs, and I'd be fine with BW doing the same.

The first Brian Wilson show I went to, Brian introduced Imagination with something along the lines of "Here's a song called Imagination, I don't like to play it, but they told me I should anyways."

I just want a chance to hear the band play Surf's Up.

Nothing on Brian's site, but apparently this is happening in Utah.

I really wanted to see Al Jardine this past tour but money was tight. I was fortunate to have won tickets to see Al Jardine's first night in Minneapolis the day of the show. I've been to quite a few Brian Wilson shows and a Beach Boys 50th anniversary show, and have to admit I enjoyed the intimacy and overall setlist to Jardine's set the most. I've been hoping to hear Surf's Up live at every show I've been to, and Al delivered.

He still sounds great live!
