Not too shabby! I've never heard Farmer's Daughter, You're So Good To Me, or The Warmth of The Sun...would be nice to have more of course!
So how was it?!?

Bummer. It's not that that's a bad setlist, but I was really hoping that Surf's Up and especially All I Wanna Do would stay in there for the US tour. That probably would've been enough to make me cave and get tickets to the Atlanta show.

I'm still going to keep an eye on the theatre setlists. I have a feeling they may be inclined (in the right venue) to pull out a few more of those specialty tracks. But, I don't think we'll see anything close to what the UK shows were this summer.

As I recall. I was so taken by hearing it I was just listening and scanning the whole band. the harmony was quite good with Ike in the mix. I give the current vocal mix a solid thumbs up. and Ike plays a decent bass line while singing staying nicely with Cowsill on beat.

I will go out on a limb and say Ike with the rest of the vocal mix options available due to his range , is an improvement in terms of getting closer to original vocal mix of the Beachboys. The sound is very authentic.

I just read that they're playing at our new casino around here. I know casinos are nothing new for either touring band...but this place is a dump. It seats 500 and is just a ball of sleaze. I don't have anything against casino shows as some of the venues can be quite exquisite...but this is not the case. Bad move guys...

I just got back from the show tonight in Delaware and they did "All I Wanna Do". I had asked Scott if they would do it and they did! Thank you so so much Scott you made my year. No matter what anyone says this band is a class act and are fantastic to their fans.

I think it was only because I requested it haha. Mike seemed unsure about himself on it but he did a great job. Sail On Sailor and Kiss Me Baby were also big surprises for me

Wow! I never would have expected those kind of tracks at a show like this. I'm pretty sure Scott did that for me at Pier Six two years ago with "Wild Honey". Scott is an excellent addition to this band and a real gentleman with the fans. He's done a lot more for this band than people give him credit for.
I think if Mike had more confidence in the catalog we would see consistently expansive sets, and nicer venues.

One of my bandmates had his '72 Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier used by the Beach Boys for 3 shows started with the show in Tennessee on 6-28. The backline company that was securing equipment for the band put out a message on facebook looking for one more Deluxe Reverb to fulfill the the Beach Boys' needs and I put him in touch with my buddy. From what I understand, his was used as a backup and possibly not actually played in the performance, but it's still pretty cool nonetheless. I was kinda surprised that he was only paid $150 total for all 3 gigs and he was never even offered tickets to the show here in Tennessee, but he took it without any attempt at bartering. I would have at least made an attempt at a pair of tickets.

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.

I'd say Ike was a fine improvement. Great, great voice and practically led the "Hearts Were Full of Spring" at the Manchester and first RAH shows. Great addition - wish I'd also had chance to hear him with Brian's band.

I read the setlist of yesterday's Minnesota show and saw it says:
Surfin' - longer
How differently now are they playing this song
Also, I see I Can Hear Music is now played in the original key of D. Whereas Carl usually sang it live in C. Who's singing it?

Saw Mike's configuration of The Beach Boys for the first time last night. Here are my thoughts:
1. After seeing the reunion band in '12 and Brian and his band last winter this band sounded pretty thin.
2. Mike Love spent more time talking about and showing pictures of Jon Stamos than all three of the Wilson brothers combined. (Brian was never mentioned)
3. Good Vibrations started with the video screen zoomed in on the original 45 showing Mike Love's songwriting credit.
4. Bruce Johnston might as well have been a cardboard cutout.
5. Mike kind of missed a few cues to come in and started and stopped singing in the middle of verses at random. Must have been too busy pointing and waving!
Overall, pretty decent performance though. I had a good time and they played a few deep cuts (Farmer's Daughter, Getcha Back) Would have liked to have heard more stuff from post Pet Sounds albums but I'm glad I went and I'm sure if the opportunity arrises I'll go again.
Now here's something I'm curious about. During the video screen songs where Carl and Dennis are shown singing, does the band just mime playing to a track or are they actually playing live? Was the keyboard player doing all the horn/string parts or was that a track also? I was kind of far back so it was hard to tell.

Good question. How much is live and how much track? Is some of it simultaneous?

Have any of you guys seen the Summer Day/Summer Nights t-shirt? I remember reading something about it and thought the shirt looked pretty cool. Surprised nobody has mentioned it since then.

The all over print one? Wanted to buy one in Manchester but didn't have enough paper money on me. No cash machine in the venue, and the venue staff wouldn't let me outside to use the one around the corner once I was in there. Checked the online store and they don't have 'em.

Yup that's it. Odd that I can't even find a picture of it now.
On a side note, I decided to get tickets for when Mike and Bruce come to Cincinnati!! After all, Add Some is right, we're not going to be able to hear the originals sing the songs much longer, regardless of which camp you side with.
Scott, if you're reading this, please get Mike to sing Here Today or That's Not Me! Or even All I Wanna Do.

I'd also try posting on Mike's FB page - he's said he reads all requests he gets there.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.
