Mike doesn't seem to be in great shape lately:

(Skip the first minute when you watch it to get to the recent bit)

And it's strangely hard for him to find the words in this interview, don't you think?

It's somehow not the Mike Love I'm used to. ???

I think that varies from time to time. Here are some recent audience recordings:

He's looking more and more like a boiled ham. But for a 70-year old he's still professioanlly active, that says a lot.

I reckon he'll die on stage.*

*Literally. He's died metaphorically on stage many times.

When I saw the January Reagan thing, I was concerned too, but at Epsom backstage, he was just fine. Hope I'm in that shape when I'm 70. Hell, I'm 55 now and not in that shape !

Worried? I watched the interview - classic Love, selling the merchandise, pushing the movies with his songs in, classic stuff. Cousin Brian, harmonies, Pet Sounds. The whole shebang.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

TBH, I thought you'd started this topic oldsurferdude  ;D

His life has to be exhausting.   All of that traveling, performing, staying in hotel rooms all of these years, eating what is available, staying on top of the career and the business....not to mention numerous wives, families etc.  I agree Andrew.  I still have a few years to 70 but after a week at work and a few trips to the gym, I'm tired.  I've often wondered just how many BeachBoys shows Mike has performed in his career.  He might just hold some kind of showbiz record.

It was almost 4000 by the end of 2000, so assuming about 100/year since then, gotta be close to 5000. Probably more.

Dammit.  I'm only about an hour and half away, I would have went if I knew they were there.  Christian sounds good, btw.  I like how he sings Kokomo. (I know it's not on these vids)

I'm not old but I agree, constantly being on tour, at 70?  That's crazy.  I guess he doesn't know anything else, though, that's what he's always done. 

Plus, he enjoys it.

Mike will still be strutting his stuff on stage when he hits the big 100.

Maybe by the time the 60th anniversary of the Beach Boys comes around Mike will be around 6000.  ;)

I just saw a Mike/Bruce show about a month ago, and actually felt compelled to record California Girls on my phone to prove to my dad that Mike sounded as great as he did. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was 1965 again* from the sound of his voice.

*I can only assume, since I wasn't born till almost 20 years later.

I think he will outlast the 27 club.

.....127 that is! :old

Cousin Brian quit touring in like 1964 or something. Know why? He's melancholy. Mike, on the other hand, is Fun, Fun, Fun. Positive. I'd like to see the Stones try their hand at I Get Around.

Yes, good point.

Ghost - you never fail to put a smile on my face.   :)

I was at the Epsom concert and I thought Mike looked very good for his age! I was at the front so could see him up close and he seemed fine! There was a point where he knelt down and I was worried he couldn't get up but in regards to his voice? Well, like others have said here, it's not that much different to 50 years ago. I just can't believe that he has been singing the same songs for that long, but then BB songs never get boring and over-played!

As a fan in my 20s I just couldn't believe I was seeing the same person I had been watching on youtube from the 60s. That is mad.

Now don't go starting that whole R&R Hall speech rhetoric all over again.

OSD, does this mean you have front row tickets already booked for every BBs show on the horizon?

Thank you, originals. But I must defer all credit to Mike Love. When I watch their older live videos and see Mike having fun it really makes me love life. Sometimes in his pothead yogi days he would just dance to himself in his own little world and it's very life affirming to see.  :tm

AL JARDINE THE DEVILISH PRANKSTER


Everybody watch this right now. Look at Al when Carl flubs a bit of the solo. He has an absolutely devilish grin on his face! He says something in that Al Jardine voice like "Oh, Carl..." that sounds sarcastic like he's HIGHLY amused at Carl's embarrassing mistake on live television - while, if you hadn't noticed, Al's guitar is punking away like an unstoppable rock and roll machine.

Just saw Mike last month and he sounds better than he did from 1983-2004 which is weird.  Some songs better than others obviously, a few times his voice was a little weak.

I started watching youtube clips because of this thread which, in turn, got me choked up seeing footage of Carl.  Sometimes I'm reminded of how much I miss his presence on the stage and in the group.  Andfor the record, Mike's a badass, even at 70!

Myke with the Wannabes in tow played a mile away from the homestead last year-Guess where I wasn't?. :p

I thought of that scene Mike made a few years ago when I posted my empathic response.  But you know, he does have a right to crow a bit for staying at it as a WORKING performer all of these years.  The Stones make a big f----ing production out of a 30 city tour.  And don't get me wrong, cause I'm a big fan of the unsinkable Keith Richards.

And by the way ghost, what name did you post under previously?  Just curious cause your tone and style seem familiar.....

The Beach Boys: "Sloop John B." & "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
(LA County Fair, 9/5/11)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhzVvY_xr64&feature=related  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhzVvY_xr64&feature=related)

Mike's in fine form here. :)

Oh my, so sad. :o

I can barely tell Mike and Bruce apart any more.  I hope they donated their necks to a worthy cause.

♪ When I Grow Up (To Be A Ham) ♫

I wish Mike would write a book about all the years of touring...he has got to have STORIES.  Funny stories on and off stage, encounters with all kinds of fans, weird stuff that happened, the strangest venue/hotel/country they experienced, how things changed and how they stayed the same.  How he felt about the Maharishi tour, the James Watt episode, playing on the Mall in DC and the beach in Atlantic City in front of hundreds of thousands of people.  His favorite show ever, and the show where everything went wrong.  What it was like to step on stage without Carl or Dennis.  Just his story without any of the typical Beach Boys b.s., and with his own sarcastic sense of humor. 

If they get John Stamos to come on stage and pretend to play the guitar for the BB San Francisco 50th anniversary show.... I am going to have a real hard time not throwing a wine bottle at his face. I get that it probably brings middle aged housewives into the county fairs and whatnot. But no. Enough. FUJS.

My name is Mike Love. I'm an original Beach Boy. I wrote many of the Beach Boys' most well known songs with my cousin Brian. I've been touring for 40 years now, 180+ dates a year. I've sang Be True To Your School 895,000 times. I hear it in my sleep, playing in almost infinite slow motion. Whennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I'm legally insane from this job. I lost it all to a jug of apple juice back in the early 70s.

 Check out John Stamos at the begining of "Wouldn't It Be Nice".  Is this his version of "I'm In Great Shape"?

Damn.  I haven't seen Mike sing like that since the 80's.  He's actually putting effort into it!  Go Mike!

Plus, John Stamos is cool.  Why all the hate?  He's a nice guy, or they wouldn't let him hang around.  He genuinely loves the band, and is a huge fan.  More power to him. 

And yes, I'm the type of person who likes people simply because they're nice. 

More truth: Full House was a good show. 

To Ron:

Yes, Mike can be a great performer.

Yes, John Stamos probably is a really cool guy to meet sometime and chat about whatever comes to mind.

You are very cool for being cool and accepting others who are also cool (for being nice) and that is highly admirable.

But I cannot (and have never been able to) sit through an entire episode of Full House. I am highly allergic to both "laugh tracks" and Bob Saget. I hope you understand that I am a nice guy too?

It's weird hearing Bob Saget swear. It's like hearing somebody's grandmother swear.  ;D

Considering his age the guy looks pretty fit  and healthy while in full control of his faculties.

Yeah, he looks in better shape there. Now I'm not that worried anymore. He only slurs "this is the worst trip I've ever been on", but I think that could be intentional. Obviously it takes him more effort to do that good a performance, but he still makes it.

The band is quite good, too. The lead vocals are even better than on Brian's band. ::)

I like Full House too (though not as much as Family Matters. I'm an Urkel fan  :lol) but Stamos always seemed like a pretty boy to me. Something about him I can't stand.

Wow, I'd TOTALLY go see these guys if this is how they sound! Wow, cool shirt Mike! Trippy as f***, goshdarn those TM visuals! Fractalized Maharishi Mantras of Sound synesthetically becoming images in Mike's meditating mind.

Bruce's shirt is, no surprise, boring.

 :lol :lol :lol :lol

I wonder if Al & Bruce in their dull old age seeing that Mike & Brian survived just fine after inhaling ungodly amounts of pot smoke regret not imbibing similarly themselves? Let's face it, Al & Bruce are no better off than Mike or Brian, really. Their sobriety has not helped advance them past Mike & Brian one bit. Sure Al will probably outlive them all but that's due to his garden gnome genes. When it's time for Al to die the water just evaporates out of his body and he turns into a stone sculpture. Children pull on his big ears and make a wish.

Yeah, to each his own I don't sit around watching the show either.  I wasn't talking about you however, I was talking about the guy (and sentiments I've heard before) suggesting they'd murder John Stamos if possible.  LOL  Full house had it's place, and it's audience, and good for Stamos that he looks good, made a lot of money, married a hot model, and gets to be on stage with the Beach Boys.  We should all be so lucky.

i used to watch the olsen twins in 'two of a kind'
but i was a 13 year old boy anyway...

was john stamos in that show?
i think howard stern asked him once
if he ever did the dirty boogie with the olsen twins
he said.... it was an ambiguous answer

I like the idea of Mike writing a book, it really should happen.

Shame the name "looking back with Love" has already been used

No doubt about it-the book will be titled "I Wrote the Songs".  ::)

I actually think a book by Mike would end up as one of our most cherished resources for fan gushing writing about Brian Wilson.

Say what you want oldsurferdude but Mike praises Brian all the time. Cousin Brian this, Cousin Brian that. Think of all the stories. It was 1967, I was in Brian's living room smoking a joint watching Charles Manson crawl around like a stick insect. From the music room I heard the most incredible sound - what later turned out to be the rockin' organ in the chorus to Here Comes The Night. Instantly I was seized by the hypnotic movement of the music and began seeking appropriate autosymbolic sounds to capture the mood of the music. He Cuh Da Ni, He cuh Da Ni... Here Comes Da Ni... Here Comes The Night! I went straight to Brian and sang the words right over what he was playing. He loved it, we grooved on the rest of the song till we knocked it right outta the ballpark and had another Wilson/Love classic on our hands. It would appear on the Wild Honey album and live like an undisclosed gem of a song for many years.

hold me squeeze me

don't eva leave me

fool me, fool me
go on and fool me

Mike is a very fine prose writer, as his non-song writings that have surfaced, like his beautiful eulogy to Maharishi, attest. He could write a great BB book, indeed.

Mike praises Brian often and thinks they may write together, was onstage with Al, has signed off TSS, seems ok with a reunion, no mention of lawyers.

I too worry about Mike Love as he is not his normal self! ;D

hold me hold me hold me and squeeze me
don't-a don't-a don't eva leave me

they got a record playing in the  skating rink

seems we have extrasensory perception

live forever we'll ne ver DIE

one of the worst parts on love you

But the best part on Love You?

For me the instrumental break in Johnny Carson. Just eight bars of organ stabs, puncuated by a drum fill which comes in just once and never reappears. Only Brian could do this. I love it.

There is no worst part on Love You. It is pure, unadulterated Brian Wilsonic

but mike love wrote that bridge...

honkin down the highway sucks eggs though

the best part of love you is all 2:09 of mona

take it
one little inch at a time now
till we're feelin' fine now
i guess i got a way with girls

 ;D

While On the topic of the Lovester, some of you may have seen the article "Why I hate Mike Love" http://manvsclown.wordpress.com/2006/07/21/why-i-hate-mike-love/ (http://manvsclown.wordpress.com/2006/07/21/why-i-hate-mike-love/)

Well, while reading some of the comments I came across a comment by Mike's 15 year old daughter "Ambha"

Hello there  before I start, this is not a joke, I am Mike Love’s youngest daughter and I stopped by to correct you on a few things. FYI this is all factual unbiassed information…

-He has never laid his hand on a woman in such a way.
-shawn love is not mike’s biological daughter
-His brother* Stan, along with Rocky Pamplin, kicked down Dennis’ door and beat the sh*t out of him, messing up his larnyx and ruining his voice BECAUSE he was supplying brian wilson with cocaine, but instead of giving brian the actual cocaine he’d give him that powdered laundry detergent and keep the coke for himself… If i were brian’s cousin (stan) i would beat the sh*t out of him too.
-If He’s an alleged racist, then how come he married my mom? she’s half black…
-Lennon and my dad spent bonding time together in india doing TM and became friends…

There are many more facts i could prove and things to say about all of this but i don’t really feel like justifying ones stupidity with a solid response.

Note to self: Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony. It’s supposed to be joyful. Each and everyone of the beach boys equally contributed to making this happy beautiful music we all love. You should be thankful that Mike held the group together while brian was blowing his brains out with drugs. My dad and Brian love each other dearly. they grew up together and are best friends. sure they had their differences but they were mature enough to put their differences aside and move on. now it’s time for you to do the same and stop acting like you know everything about these peoples lives. you make yourself look like an ignorant immature person … and that is meant in the least rude way possible. Take care sir, maybe next time you publicly bash an innocent human being, perhaps you should make sure what you’re saying is accurate prior to doing so…..

Sincerely,

Ambha Love (15 years of age)

 :-\

you don't get it? lol

ahahahahhahahaahaha

more likely he took from brian's bag and replaced half of it with laundry detergent powder...

but brian still got high from it
brian used to drink godly amounts of highly concentrated caffeinated coffee straight for a buzz so...

So that was the real reason for Brians problems. Doing lines of 'Tide'!

i'm not coke i'm de-tur-gent
flowing up brian's nostrils
how deep are the nostrils
how deep are the nostrils

it killed my nose
hey hey hey

If you had a job that you really loved, got the postive reaction from a large group, got to sing those wonderful songs and made a killing doing it, why wouldnt you continue.

Singing Help Me Rhonda 100 times a year must be tedious, even if not exhausting.

More like he has to work-all the baggage-ex-wives, kids, lawyers, turbans, sandals, jewelry means he'll be workin' till he drops. :p

How do we know any alimony is due any ex-wives anymore?

Mike barely sings on Help Me Rhonda. while everyone else is singing full lines of lyrics, he just goes "bow bow bow bow".

Those bow bows make the song! I know many casual fans who are endlessly amused by Mike's vocals, in a positive way! They love hearing such songs just to laugh not in mean spirits at the Mike Love vocals.

no, I mean, I agree with you about the bow bows. there's this one video from the 60s where they're playing it on TV and Mike's backing vocals are mixed really really high so it's like another lead vocal but all the words he saying are meaningless, and it's GREAT.

Meaningless? Aegir, Mike's bow bows in Rhonda are actually an ancient Native Amerikan chant to the Goddess Rhon Da who helps mankind get out of emotional bummers.

Say what you want about Mike but he still does a lot of shows every year, i'd like to see the mop-tops match that. I'd like to see Mick Jagger get out on stage and do I Get Around VS Jumpin' Jack Flash any day now. Now a lot of people on this forum will say that Mike Love is crazy, well they've been saying that for years!

We've had our own... interstescene... or whatever you'd call it but

We don't-do you? I'm sure he did for quite awhile. Kids, lawyers and turbans(could be the name of his next solo attempt/bomb) could be costin' him big time.

(http://s11.allstarpics.net/images/orig/k/s/ksn8ga37dfgyg83k.jpg)

f***, that is brilliant

Mick Jagger has always been chickenshit to get on stage with The Beach Boys

I always thought this was an odd thing to say on Mike's part: his bit about Jumpin Jack Flash: considering it was the Beach Boys themselves who had covered the song in question with Mike doing a pretty good Jagger imitation. So, how exactly was Jagger supposed to be insulted??

Don't forget "Git 'er outta ma heart"!!

Giterowdamahar was another Native chant used in supplication to the great Rhon Da.

Well on his merry  way to becoming a pure pork product. :P
