The Smiley Smile Message Board

Special guest Stamos but another more 'special' guest does not rate a mention. Check out the video link.

Is it....it's not.......it is.....

It's DAVE!!!!!

Come on, he was on ER

"...touring in support of “The Smile Sessions'…”

So, they do GV. What else?

Yeah, are they playing any Smile songs?  Other than GV and H&V?

And Stamos, how exactly did he manage to get into the band?  Their Full House experience way back when must have been incredibly awesome I gather   ::)
He's probably a nice guy, probably is a legitimate fan of the music, he's handsome and provides eye candy for the ladies i suppose - but still, what the hell?   I thought the Stamos period was just a phase, but they keep bringing him back.  
It's their perogative to do so of course, and who am I to say boo (hoo) about it, but everytime I see him with them something deep inside me lets out the "ugh-iest" of groans.    Maybe it's just indigestion.   :shrug

He adds celebraty power!  :woot

"Kokomo Christmas"? Really? Sheesh...  :-\

Hey, thanks for the link. Great to see Dave playing with the guys (and looking like he's having a great time, to boot). Let's this hope this is a sign of things to come for the 50th!

Typical, true to form Myke Luhv bullsh*t-what a hole. Good to see David, though.

I saw the Mike & Stamos show in October — they went nowhere near H&V.

Photos here, BTW:

One of the captions describes David as a Beach Boy, so maybe that's why he's not named as a special guest. But to make Stamos the focus of the article and put SS in the background...um...

"Special guest John Stamos, center, plays with The Beach Boys, from left, David Marks, Randell Kirsch and Mike Love during their 'Kokomo' Christmas concert at the St. George Theatre. (Staten Island Advance/Bill Lyons)"

Just assumed they might play H&V, but guess not.    Too bad, be kind of cool to hear them play some of those tunes, even with Shamos as guest.

that was a rough watch.

geez... no wonder Brian doesn't want to be seen with those guys.

They played H&V at the one UK concert they did this year. Was a nice surprise. Not sure if they've done it since though.

They played H&V in Madrid too. Probably in the rest of the french shows as well.

That's exactly that kind of escapist cheese that needs to be avoided for any seriously done reunion/anniversary celebration. Imagine this would've been anounced at the Grammy nominations. 50th anniversary and you do a "Kokomo christmas" ? Any way, why still hang so much on Kokomo ? It was almost 25 years ago and no one will go to a concert just because it has that name in it's title. It's unimportant

Why is Mike is obsessed with this song, all he wrote was the hook on a finished John Phillips song :-\

I think he did a little more than that. But still, no need to concentrate everything on that song

Welcome to the wonderful world of public relations. :)

So was I close when I posted about the Kokomo-Cocktail-Stamos connection with the song's success, seemingly out of nowhere for the Beach Boys?

They're still using the same PR angle to sell things in 2011, it must have worked at least somewhat in 1988 for them to repeat it.

I could see this getting ugly at the reunion if Mike says Kokomo is the greatest Beach Boys song and Brian gets rightfully pissed because he wrote so many greater songs in the glory days.

Think that was rough?

Try this one!

hahaha nice one!


but she just made me laugh whereas John Stamos makes me want to shoot somebody in the face.

namely John Stamos.

Looks like Myke has a beach ball under his shirt as well as the one under his hat. :p

Holy sh*t @ Bruce's laughter. Brilliant, great video.

GRAMMYS  :p

GRANNYS   ;)

I can't tell Mike from Bruce any longer.  They're both neckless, baseball-capped Weebles.  The only way to tell is that one has a prop keyboard, and the other one has more "bling", as the kids say.

Mayor McCallion is a legend in these parts and partly because of things like this.

I can't believe I paused both DW's Holy Man and Rainbows to watch those 2 videos!!! :angry :angry :angry :wall :wall :old :old

Whoa, people are criticizing this? This is like the best thing the Mike/Bruce band has ever done, and that's not saying their performances are weak - this is just that awesome. Bruce's laugh is brilliance.

You're going to hate this.  Really.  You will.  lol.  Back 'n the day, if you're not aware, the Beach Boys (or some semblence thereof) were on Full House.  John Stamos of course was an actor on Full House.  Also around this time, Jeff Foskett was in the Beach Boys.  There was another episode of Full House where John's character uncle Jesse had a band over to his house because they were writing jingles for some reason, and guess who the lead guy in the 'jingle' band was?  Jeff Foskett.

Sooooo, it's entirely possible that somehow Stamos knew Foskett and that was his door into the band.

I think in general, John reminds the band of the late 80's when they were very popular still.  It's like their reminder of the Kokomo era.  To be honest, I don't blame them for bringing him back around, they probably like hanging out with him. 

Hopefully these clips should put paid to any BB's / BW reunion show. Avoid avoid avoid!
