Sorta a bummer that of the last six songs, three are covers and one is kokomo
Yeah, but they were HIT covers. I thought it was a great ending to the show. The crowd in AC were on their feet singing and dancing all the way through. How that is a "bummer" I will never understand.

Wow, it's great that Brian was so into it. When I saw them at Mohegan Sun, Brian SANG great, but didn't say a word.

Also just found out they are shooting a DVD documentary. I got to speak about how the Beach Boys represent America over the last 50 years. Talked about the James Watt thing etc. I don't know if they will use me but I am excited to see what it will turn out to be.
Mike, was anyone shooting video of this performace? This is the kind of show that needs to end up on a DVD especially if Brian was so great.
I really hope they did. I don't know.

to be honest, the only one that makes it a bummer is "rock n roll music". sooo bad. I'd rather listen to SIP. and i only meant that i wish the covers were more strewn out in the setlist.

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.

So I'm finally getting around to posting about the whole show. As everyone else said, and the video shows, it was really great. I'm glad to read last night's show was good too, I wish I could have gone to both nights. If you can get tickets to a show, do it. Even if you end up with the worst seats in the house, you'll still have an amazing time. I know all of us here wish we could tweak the set list and do this and that differently, but even the things I don't necessarily think are the best choices still work. Everything about this reunion has been well thought out and planned, and when things are glaringly bad (live autotune) they've been changed. I think The Beach Boys as a whole have really gotten it right this time, finding the happy medium to please everyone across their fan base. This tour would be a great way for them to go out, but I really hope they keep going, because they are still very good.

It actually rocked pretty hard. The end of the show wasn't a bummer to me because they did everything with class.

Rock N Roll Music has sounded really really good on the YouTube videos I've seen so far. So I think it should stay unless they want to replace it with something off the Love You album.

MAN! Never seen Brian like that before, not in his old age at least. You Chi-Town folks are lucky, I wish Brian was this great at the show I saw him at. He's definitely starting to warm up to this tour; makes me wish they'd come to my town 20 days later!

Still can't get over how good he was myself. Not since 1970 has he been this good or invested on a Beach Boys show

Ah, I love when stuff like this happens ^_^ Gets me a little choked up sometimes.
Shame that I have no money to speak of, as I could've went to this show.
Edit: Wow, "Heroes" is even better! It's so good to hear the guy sing with so much confidence.

You guys should check out I Just Wasn't Made For These Times from this show. Brian goes for the high notes, and damn near hits them.

Like I said the crowd gave him a standing ovation on that one! The low parts were sung with the metre and care of pre 1975 Brian.

His tone sounds more full in the high range than on the Pet Sounds Live CD.

I wish he would leave his mic alone. I counted 12 adjustments in that one clip and he seems to do it on all songs at all shows!
Of course for anyone who has never noticed before, this will be a distraction to you from now on. Sorry about that.

Yeah he does moves it a lot haha, i think we all noticed that
But man, i maen from all the clips i've seen/heard before, it wasn't that great quality, at least i don't remember hearing his vocals that clearly! and wow, he really does still have that beautiful voice, he really needs more spots on the new album or the next one along with Al Jardine!
