Can't tell who's handling lead vox on that?

But Vibes & Villains consecutively - it's the SMiLE portion of their gig!

Think it's John Cowsill on lead vox, drumming and singing, a great asset to the touring BBs

Yeah it's John, he started laughing at one point in the song (can be heard on the video) but I can't remember why.

Also: Was that AGD at the back of the stage?

Thanks! It was bugging me through the whole thing :P I've only seen one of his photos and you can see about half of me at the far right (in my oh-so-misguided striped shirt/Hawaiian shirt combo).

Much obliged, AGD :)

The place certainly filled up since we took our places, I guess that's what happens when your get in there about 5 hours before the show and don't take you eyes of the stage.

Very cool indeed!  It must have been amazing to see the audience response from that vantage point! 

What a throng! Looks like a real blast!

Thanks for posting those!  ;)

While watching these videos I realized that it has gotten to the point where I was actually a little worried that Mike was gonna fall.  Especially when he did that spin during "Surfin' Safari".   8)

I was at this gig too, front row! It was my first Beach Boys gig and even though it wasn't all of the original members I still absolutely loved it! AGD I saw you at the back of the stage, but without my glasses I couldn't tell who it was! I had a great time and it was one of the best gigs I've been to!
