I did check the Roxy site , and yesterday it stated Al Jardine and Friends , but had an 'additional info' bubble on the site listing all the guests who are on the album and thus not a conclusive list of people who are going to appear at the show - Strangely it appears that the bubble is no longer on the website Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: The Shift on March 13, 2012, 03:12:03 AM Wouldn't be surprised if some other BBs showed, given that they'll be working closely right now and it'd be a sociable thing to do. But wouldn't go by anything posted on the Bloo…
Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Rob Dean on March 13, 2012, 03:17:52 AM Totally agree John , I mean FFS somebody posted / asked on the bloo what kind of food Brian likes ???
Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Craig Boyd on March 13, 2012, 03:42:51 AM People show up on the bloo every now and again asking daft questions like that, they usually post once or twice then you never hear from them again. Last week we had a guy asking about dogs dragging a$$! It attracts some strange characters I must say :lol

Wish I could be there, but obligations on the East Coast are keeping me here.

A new mention of "Waves of Love" that suggests it might, in different form, appear on both new albums... as well as a teaser that "notable VIP guests" will attend the release party. Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Lowbacca on March 20, 2012, 03:42:32 AM (http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/404006_356846737687401_136456489726428_1039319_173946598_n.jpg)
Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: SonoraDick on March 21, 2012, 12:20:44 AM Good show tonight, although the "VIP" guests were perhaps a little disappointing. Marilyn & Ginger joined Al's band for an encore of "Surfin' USA" & "Fun, Fun, Fun". I'm probably missing somebody, but also on stage at the end were John Cowsill & Tim Bonhomme from Mike's band, Justyn Wilson, Dennis' son Carl, and John Stamos. When Al sang "Postcard", he mentioned he had hoped to have Glen Campbell on stage, but he had his own "gig" tonight in Florida.
No mention at all of the upcoming tour, & just a few references to the Beach Boys. The most interesting to me... After the group sang "Don't Fight The Sea", Al said some government agency (he couldn't remember which) is using the song in some sort of video, & that tomorrow "my friends" the Beach Boys would be filming their part. A somewhat shorter ( just under 90 minutes) set list from the last time I saw Al in September, 2010, but some very interesting choices. Matt did a dynamite "Wild Honey", Al led "Heroes & Villains", Billy & Bobby took "Sail On, Sailor". The most unusual... " Lookin' At Tomorrow". I don't recall ever hearing any of the groups taking a stab at that one. No thank yous to the KT, either. Lots of autographed CDs & 45s were given away, & those who didn't win anything could get an unsigned 45 of Don't Fight..." &, I didn't look at the flip side but I think it was the a capella "Friends". Very enthusiastic crowd which I would guess was close to the 500 capacity.

Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Shady on March 21, 2012, 01:11:15 AM Sounds like a fun night

Probably in my top 5 of all time! Waves of Love was supposed to be in the encore, but was cut from the setlist. Great time, just got back after a long drive. I was about 8 feet away from Al; it pays to arrive early! Highlights of the 17-song setlist for me: California Saga, Heroes And Villains, Sail On Sailor, Lookin At Tomorrow (first time hearing that live, though I know he's done it before) and Wild Honey. The show opened with "You're So Good To Me" and was the first show I've been to where "California Girls" wasn't performed... While outside in the will call line, I happened to be right in front of the door, and heard the rehearsals for Postcard From California, Wild Honey, Sail On Sailor, California Saga, You're So Good To Me, possibly others I can't remember. The vibe in the room was very upbeat and positive! Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford, Ginger Blake, John Stamos, John Cowsill, Tim Bonhomme, Justyn Wilson, Carl B. Wilson, and others joined for the encore!
Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Justin on March 21, 2012, 02:44:42 AM A great show...very much a family reunion vibe in the room. Any BB fan would have recognized how special it was to have everyone there. Al sounded fantastic...vibrant and full of energy. Great to hear his guitar work up close. I was beyond thrilled to hear "Looking At Tomorrow"...so great. Could've needed more of a push with the backing vocals and music but overall a great rendition. I told Al how great it was to hear it and he was pleased by the compliment, saying "Oh yeah?! We've haven't done that one in a while." After the song he mentioned how fitting the song was considering the current events going on right now with the economy. I hope it makes it into the Celebration Reunion shows.
I took a picture with Marilyn before the show--she was very nice; also chatted with Justyn Wilson later, very very personable guy. I spoke to John Cowsill briefly. I told him how he nailed the drums on the recent "Do It Again" remake. He' said that Brian giving him the "ok" sign during that session was the highlight of the day for him. I asked how the newly-ish formed band is geling so far and he's mentioned that he hasn't played with them yet besides for the one Grammy performance. Nelson Bragg was also in attendance and didn't have a ticket for the show when he arrived earlier that afternoon. He eventually got in ok. Here's some pics I took. The videos are currently being uploaded so I'll post the links once they're up.

Agree, it was a great time. Was at the front as well, Eric, on the side between Al and Billy Hinsche. Wish I could have exchanged hellos with a fellow Smiler. By the way, with all the negativity surrounding Stamos, I can at least confirm he's handwasher in the men's room... Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Mikie on March 21, 2012, 09:47:13 AM Good to know Stamos washes his hands after handling his drumsticks, Southbay.
Surprised Diane Rovell wasn't there with Marilyn and Ginger. Hope she's doing OK. Looking forward to seeing Al on the 50th tour! I'm sure he'll take the lead on at least 3 or 4 of those songs he played last night. Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Emdeeh on March 21, 2012, 10:15:33 AM Glad to hear everyone had a good time at Al's show -- wish I could have been there.
Matt J. does a killer version of "Wild Honey." :) Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: southbay on March 21, 2012, 10:25:15 AM And to chime in on another question we were discussing from awhile back, Matt handled the lead on WIBN, not Al.
Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: PongHit on March 21, 2012, 10:30:57 AM I was there, fun time, Al's voice sounds great.

I haven't gotten through all the videos, but I'd love to see those guys perform. The only thing I've really heard by them is that In Bloom song that was on that one movie soundtrack.

Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: tpesky on March 21, 2012, 12:58:25 PM Glad to see Al going back to more of a setlist like he had when he first started touring solo! It would be GREAT to hear him in You're So Good To Me in the reunion tour (maybe alternating verses with Brian) and the same with Heroes.
Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: endofposts on March 21, 2012, 02:10:52 PM If I do go to the Beach Boys show, I look forward to seeing Al the most. He's the secret sauce. I loved seeing him with Brian a few years ago and he's in the best shape of the main three.

This - and the groups reimagining of Do It Again - are the reasons i've a horrible sicky wicky feeling in my stomach re the forthcoming new album. You're aware of the fact that the Beach Boys are recording brand-new songs for the reunion album?In fact, this re-recording of their catalogue is similar to the way in which Hollywood keeps endlessly remaking films that were already perfect to begin with... Yes. I'm also aware they've just re-recorded Do It Again.

Although you may already have California Feelin', which I assume is Brian's version, Al's version is way, way better and well worth getting. I don't do downloads (not out of any high and mighty principle, i just don't know what i'm doing re technology), so it's either cd or vinyl or nothing for me... If you can post on a message board, you should be able to handle the complex technology of downloading!

Al sounds great!Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: southbay on March 28, 2012, 11:23:18 AM crap, is that G. Campbell on California Dreamin'?

Can't these guys ever do ANYTHING without a guest star? No, its David Crosby as far as I'm aware and Glen is only on the title track. But yes, another guest star on Al's album.

Yes, I've read Glen is a guest on California Dreamin', & the Amazon sample sure does sound like him.

Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Pretty Funky on April 01, 2012, 10:35:21 PM From the Brit site. Al Jardine's CD is now AVAILABLE Posted on April 1, 2012 at 10:12:12 PM by Panayiotis Hey everyone-- Just got an email from Rob Christie from Robo Records. They're re-releasing Al Jardine's POSTCARD FROM CALIFORNIA CD with three Bonus tracks..and it's now avaialble... Here's his note to me: _________ Newbury Comics is sending out autographed copies (signed on the cover) of the new Jardine CD, with the 3 bonus tracks. It's a pretty limited number, so they will probably go quick. However, it's a pretty reasonable price for an autographed disc. Check it out: http://www.newburycomics.com/rel/v2_viewupc.php?storenr=103&upc=103-1663765N __________ So, if you want an autographed copy..better move quick!!

Ah f*ck that!

A mere trifle… More importantly, for some reason Amazon US isn't listing the bonus tracks other than on the downloadable version. I hope this is nothing more than a failure to use new info for the new product… Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: Paulos on April 02, 2012, 03:58:39 AM Friends of Al on Facebook would have now been notified of a release party for the CD on Tuesday March 20th at The Roxy - Really wish I lived over the pond I really wish I lived over the dessert!

I hope this is nothing more than a failure to use new info for the new product… Probably, amazon.co.uk doesn't even have a track listing for the CD but has all 15 tracks for the downloadable version. I got the CDR when it first came out so slightly aggreived that have to buy it again but it has bonus tracks so I simply cannot resist. Title: Re: Al Jardine - Postcard CD Release Party next week Post by: The Shift on April 02, 2012, 04:03:33 AM Good spot Paulos… I don't mind shelling out again, but wonder what'll happen when he decides to make all the earlier/alternative mixes available…
Curious to know why Al's slightly tweaked the playing order, by slipping Cali Dreamin' before the original last track. Glen Campbell's vocal sounds excellent.

Glen Campbell's vocal sounds excellent. I noticed the running order and thought it was a mistake by amazon but just checked aljardine.com and that shows California Dreamin' as track 12 and refers to WOL & SJB as 'special bonus tracks'. I wish Al had included his solo version of California Saga: California on this release - I've only ever heard the snippet on Endless Harmony DVD and the ESQ CD that it was released on is no longer available. |
