Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: Rocker on August 11, 2011, 07:51:29 AM Anyone got some setlists? Would love to see what his shows are like nowadays
Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: ghost on August 11, 2011, 08:41:07 AM Al was in Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas. Remember the dwarf waiter?

Would love to see what his shows are like nowadays http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYJWPgr4mSg Thank you very much ! Al sounds great on this one. Didn't see Matt though. Isn't he part of these appearances in Vegas? Man, Al doesn't deserve playing these little crowds. Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: guitarfool2002 on August 11, 2011, 04:40:35 PM For those fans in America, it would be great if Al walked into the pawn shop featured in "Pawn Stars" carrying a dusty box of acetates, and Rick offered him 50 bucks for the lot.
Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: Pretty Funky on August 11, 2011, 06:37:41 PM No chance. Being saved for the Beach Boys restaurant, opening Dec 31. :lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx3o2FmPOXo Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: tpesky on August 11, 2011, 08:35:33 PM Boy Al really puts Mike to shame on Surfin USA nowadays. Mike's voice is a big liability for any live 50th proceedings to me.

I'm guessing the chicken finger appetizers will be served on a surfboard-shaped platter? Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: Pretty Funky on August 12, 2011, 12:13:28 AM I'm guessing by the time you deduct fees for the band name, use of images, music plus the poor state of the economy it will be closed within 3 months!

Oh man. I could just see Chumlee taking the whole lot to the shooting range to use as targets for some civil war era rifle they're trying out. "This one says Child Is Father of the Man. That doesn't even make sense." BLAM Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: oldsurferdude on August 12, 2011, 07:02:13 AM Boy Al really puts Mike to shame on Surfin USA nowadays.

Most likely the reason Myke kicked him outta the m&b tribute show-Al can sing-Myke cannot. 8)Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: guitarfool2002 on August 12, 2011, 08:19:31 AM For those fans in America, it would be great if Al walked into the pawn shop featured in "Pawn Stars" carrying a dusty box of acetates, and Rick offered him 50 bucks for the lot.

BLAM Just yesterday I stumbled upon this on youtube ("That doesn't even make sense"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Q7Hf4zXxk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Q7Hf4zXxk) Regarding Al's concerts, anybody seen those STRIPED SHIRTS ?!?! :-D Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: Matt J on August 18, 2011, 11:50:46 PM Yeah, some of the audiences were not big. The Riviera is at the very end of The Strip & it's very hard to promote in Vegas, believe it or not, unless you have a huge hotel w/ tons of promotion $$ & a building-sized marquee on The Strip. But we had a chance to perform multiple shows in a two week period & the band got really tight. We had a great response from buyers who came to check out the show & got future gigs from playing at the Riviera. All in all it was a success. Al/ Dad still has the goods & can sing as strongly as he ever has & also happens to play superb rhythm guitar.
I wasn't in Vegas Aug 5-7 due to prior commitments w/ The Surf City AllStars.

I hope more shows are in the making. And it would be so nice if a future small European tour was possible (probably not, financial-wise). Al was really missed in 2007 when at the last moment he had to leave the BW tour through Europe. It would have been a blast to see both BW and your dad on stage.

Totally agree, Al's taken good care of himself despite the pressures of fame. I'd love to see some new original material being recorded/released. Maybe with a little bit of a rougher feel than Postcard from California... Write some songs, record them all in a couple of weeks, Wild Honey style.

Thanks for the answers. Do you know what the striped shirts were about ? Was it like a look on different phases in the Beach Boys' carreer with "costumes" ? Title: Re: Al Jardine in Las Vegas Post by: Ron on August 19, 2011, 07:37:53 AM The drums kill it. In a bad way. Or the sound guy should be fired, or something, I can't figure it out. Somebody with more musical intellect than me, Why does that sound so shitty?
