Really like this version of WIBN from a recent show. Seems like they've rearranged a bit to be more faithful to the Pet Sounds track

they may as well go all the way and be "Mike & Bruce's Beach Boys Presents Brian Wilson' Presents Pet Sounds Tour 2016'.
These camps are pathetic. Both now with near matching setlists.
Pathetic? Far from it! I think all the touring bands including Al's and Dave's when they get gigs, are great!
the gigs are great, the 'he's doing this, we better do it too' crap is childish. both camps are guilty as hell now.
so who are more the Beach Boys now? Mike n Bruce or Brian, Al n Blondie?

I try to look at the big picture. Both main bands are performing 6+ Pet Sounds tracks to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pet Sounds! This is a win-win for everybody, Brian, Al, Mike, Bruce, Blondie, the hard core fans, the casual fans, etc. Motives matter very little to me when I'm there enjoying the show. All 4 of the bands celebrate the Beach Boys music that we love in a quality way. The reasons why different bands add certain songs is not an issue to me.

The intro video shown in KC last night is well done but not one that has been in discussion here or is up on Noven's fan video Youtube channel. The film shown was almost entirely historical footage of the band's whole career, there was no George Martin, there were a few seconds of modern scenes near the end but they were cut so fast I couldn't even pick out who it was images of. Maybe someone else who has
actually
seen it can join in too in case I missed, misunderstood, or forgot something.
I think our long national nightmare of Novengate is finally over (because it never began).
The show was great by the way.

Hopefully the setlist will be posted on FB, I don't take notes or anything. There were deep cuts and hits. I teared up during GOK. The PS section was very nice. They all sounded great. I have no complaints, except Scott wasn't singing (sore throat I heard), but he was still killing it on guitar (and is one dapper son of a gun).

At the show in Hong Kong I saw 2 months ago that was the strongest lead of the night by anyone...cept maybe Brian on YSBIM

Maybe it's another way for Mike to stick it to Al. I could imagine that in '64/'65, Mike might have wished that he himself would have gotten to be the lead singer on the studio recording of The BBs' second #1 hit - especially once it became a huge hit. Now there's no pesky guy around to steal away that thunder from him.

Mike is getting increasingly twisted in white-washing out the other BBs.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

That's really stretching it, imo.

I'm not saying that not having Al around is some evil plotted scheme to steal the HMR vocal. But it kinda feels like a poker game, where Mike won, and reclaiming that vocal once Al is no longer around is just one of the chips Mike gets to take home at the end of the night. Just how it feels to me.
Meanwhile, in Al's recent ESQ interview, he goes out of his way to publicly praise Mike's voice as an essential part of The BB live onstage sound, and sincerely laments Mike's talented vocal chops not being present during the current BW Pet Sounds tour.
Mike's comparative silence on the matter speaks volumes.

You don't imagine it has everything to do with it being one of their #1 hits?

With 150 shows a year it wouldn't have anything to do with the group mixing things up a bit themselves to keep things interesting now would it?
Dennis sang HMR back in the day as well.

Somebody's gotta sing it. It would be stranger to leave it out altogether than for Mike to sing it.

Both bands doing more rare cuts isn't a bad thing (I think Mike doing a few personal Brian-centric songs is a bit distasteful in light of choosing to ditch Brian in 2012), but I don't think it's quite a "win win", it's more like a best case scenario for a band and brand that can't get their s**t together and be together.
I've never understood the "more touring bands is better!" thing, at least after 2012. It's like the kid with divorced parents saying getting two Christmases is better. No, it's just making the best of a bummer of a situation.

Is this the only song that has now been sung by 4 different Beach Boys? (5 if you include Brian solo?)

I believe the Mike and Bruce shows have gotten stronger with the addition of a woodwinds player into the fold. When i saw them in February they had a great fellow named Jim Verdeur playing with them in a North East US run. To my untrained ear it sounds like having a Bass Sax on WIBN would free one of Timmys keyboards up to syth an accordion in WIBN. Also Jeffrey playing his model italia JF12 12 string guitar on some of the 12 strings adds another great layer of sound! The opening to WIBN seems to be completely accurate to the original record with two 12 string guitars!
