Very nice--looking forward to it. 

If anyone in the beach boy camp can hear me - DO NOT PUT THEM ON HOWARD STERN!!!!
I'm a fan of stern, but if you put them on that show, all he will do is ask about manson. He did it to Brian twice! These are just my words, but I hate it when people bring that up in interviews.

Great !! Please someone, record it !!! I'm still unhappy that I haven't got a chance to listen to the second of two of Mike & Bruce's appearances on Sirius.

Excellent. I'll be listening on May 26. I listen to Channel 6 and 27 every day to and from work. Both Cousin Brucie on the 60's channel and Jim Ladd on Deep Tracks are huge Beach Boys and Brian fans (a la Wolfman Jack and Pete Fornatale) and have interviewed them in the past. Should be great!  Man, The Boys are going to be VERY busy right around that time leading right into the heavy scheduled touring!

Eh...so what?  If I recall the interview he did with BW was actually a pretty amusing one; managed to get Brian out of his shell a little...

Yeah, until someone call in and said Brian sounded like a crack head.
DON'T GO ON HOWARD STERN!!!!
(I am a fan tho)

Stern would be the only chance of getting an honest and interesting interview.

I have the two Howard Stern interviews on my computer. Maybe I should upload them to youtube one of these days.

I thought they were funny and great but Stern was disrespectful at times.

Some funny moments:
"Did you have sex in the car she sold you? NOOO! Howard let's talk about the music"
"Where is Dr Landy? I need Dr Landy Now! I'm having a nervous breakdown"
"If you're the duke and he's the king, who is the duchess?`"

I would really appreciate it if you uploaded the earlier one somewhere, I finally found links but part one was missing. Despite the crudeness, they are amazing interviews and he really does draw him out of his shell and discuss Murry in a really direct fashion.

"Can you tell I'm in therapy?"

Don't get your hopes too high. BB community and sharing of recordings? Forget it!

In the words of Mike Love: "Just kiddin'".

I still haven't found a file of Mike & Bruce's second new year's eve performance on Sirius. I'd love to hear that

Here's hoping that someone in the studio audience records the show tomorrow   :smokin

That would be ace!  :pirate

It's pretty possible a vid or two might pop up from this show but I guess the place will be on lockdown

Pretty exciting anyway

So I don't suppose anyone taped it?

Or at least, any way you can listen again online?

Or has it been broadcast yet....

Answered my own question. 26th of May, apparently.

Wonder why their waiting so long to air it?
That setlist sounds good. :)  Hope they do a Sunflower or Surf's Up track on the tour, but I'm not complaining.

You're So Good To Me and Heroes and Villains? I like. Wonder if Al and Brian traded verses?

Yes, glad to see "You're So Good To Me" in the setlist!
And "Do It Again" is a cool way to start the concert.

Come on!!
Please, someone has it, I want a recording!

I'll trade the WIBNTLA Acetate I have!!
Please!

No Brian leads, I notice. Looks like the reunion is sapping his confidence. Maybe he can start chain smoking before the tour is done.

Good Vibrations, Heroes & Villains?

We also don't know about That's Why God Made The Radio...

Unless you count GV. And unless he sings YSGTM (unlikely... that seems like an Al Jardine mini-set).
And who knows who sings lead in the new song.

But I think showing up, singing backgrounds, a few if any leads, not having to play frontman, while playing some piano and letting the others do most of the job, seems like a decent deal for Brian.

Yes, hopefully this is what he wants. (I still hope for a traded leads mini set for Al and Brian on YSGTM and Heroes ...)

Also, gotta admit that the set is well conceived. Songs everybody sounds good on, hits-packed, varied, nice flow, a new song, all their #1's, great opener, can't do any better.

Jeff and Al, I would expect.

No Pet Sounds, either. And fucking car songs.

A disaster, really.

Jeff?! Brian is the only guy on this tour to have taken the lead on GV since Carl passed. And yeah, Jeff helps him out on that note, but he wouldn't take the lead. Hell, Brian even took the lead for that on the Grammies, with Jeff in the stunt double role, which could be put down to the pressure of the situation. But even pessimistically, I wouldn't classify that as a Jeff lead vocal.

As for 'disaster', they did play Heroes & Villains. But no Pet Sounds is a shame.

We'll have to see what the mix allows us to hear.

I'm in a bad mood this morning. Don't mind me.

I wonder if that is really the song order as they played them

I think most of us knew when this tour was announced that we weren’t going to get a ton of mind-blowing setlist selections. They feel a need to the hits just for the sake of doing the hits. Add to that the novelty of a “50th anniversary” production, and it’s going to lean heavily towards that. I was kind of hoping they might at least forego maybe “409” or “Shut Down” or something and include something from a bit later. But if they’re going to the trouble of having David Marks there, I’d actually like to hear him play on the stuff he actually played on originally, so in that sense the early stuff like “409” takes on more meaning than it has in some years.

This setlist was a mini-set anyway. They presumably aren’t even done rehearsing for the tour. We got mostly meat and potatoes numbers because they all know those songs the most, and that’s what we’re usually going to get on TV or radio shows with brief sets. We’re probably lucky we got “H&V”, “You’re So Good to Me”, and the new track.

I’m the last fan in the world that trots out the “let’s be positive, let’s just be thankful they’re playing at all” argument. But c’mon, a short set for a radio special, and we’re already throwing around words like “disaster.” They’re not going to whip out “Johnny Carson” or “Here Today” or “Steamboat” for a mass radio audience when they’ve only been rehearsing together for a few days.

I’m more concerned with how the band actually sounded. The expected hits will have new life breathed into them if the band actually sounds solid. Yes, if somehow they ended up continuing to tour together again after this year, I’d probably say for a 2013 tour they could start swapping out some old stuff for some new stuff. I wouldn’t be content forever to have the meat and potatoes set. But just this once, I think it will be fine as long as the performances are solid enough. Whether justified or not, whether it’s a good thing or not, a lot of this tour is about the novelty of seeing and hearing them together again.

Well said , BTW rehearsals started on 12th April

Good post and a great way to look at the mini-concert (which we haven't heard yet.  I won't say "no one's heard" because I don't want to start that whole thing again here!)

H&V, TWGMTR and YSGTM are probably just enough newer songs to put into a short mini concert for the masses.  We all know that Joe Public isn't waiting on them to whip out the more obscurer songs here--they just want to hear them together.  I'm sure a true set list from an actual show will reveal a more varied set.  We'll see soon enough....

Nice set. Of course the touring concerts will be longer but this is a nice way to start and to remind everybody what made the Beach Boys famous in the first place. I hope they'll do "Shut down" and "You're so good to me" in Berlin. There certainly won't be too many rarities in the set (I guess) but the inclusion of H&V in this performance shows that they won't just do the surf stuff plus GV. I wonder which version of H&V they played.

No "Barbara Ann" !!!! They could keep it that way imo (won't happen though)

Not even if the did it Party style with Dean as a guest?

I will say that YSGTM sounded great at Al's Roxy show a couple weeks back.  I would look forward to hearing that on this tour.

It would be nice if they were doing the "official" SMiLE version of "Heroes & Villains" if only to hear Mike on the cantina bridge.

I bet that Brian will sing "Busy Doing Nothing" during the tour.

I notice from the Hoffman board that Surfer Girl was also in the set list last evening , and also details of where the recording took place

He also could have sang lead or parts of leads on Catch A Wave and You're So Good To Me, as well.

Per the Hoffman board poster, "as best he could remember" Brian sang lead on YSGTM .  No discussion of other lead vocals. Matt Jardine not in the backing band.  Approx 60-70 in attendance.  Since we know they also did Surfer Girl, wouldn't be surprised if Brian did other leads as well.

I don't really care, this set list looks awesome to me.  If you're only going to play 15 or so songs, of course they're going to do the hits. 

How a Beach Boys fan can't get excited to see "You're so Good To Me".... with Brian Wilson singing even if he's singing backup... is beyond me.  That's going to be cool as sh*t!

Catch A Wave, with Mike Love doing bass vocals?  That's going to kick ass.


And excuse me while I faint, after reading we get to hear the surviving Beach Boys do an acapella bit (right?) in the middle of Heroes and Villians.  If you aren't excited to hear Al/Bruce/Brian/Mike at least singing part of the harmonies to that you need to turn your card in. 

Absolutely can't wait for that.

By the way, the Bass Vocals on BWPS sucked.  That may soon be rectified. 

May.

Phil, get the HELL off this board!

Umm...that's not Phil :lol

Whoops, wonder why I was confused?

So 60- 70 there but not a single picture let alone a youtube clip!

Security must have been tight.

Damn kill-joys. :(

The Cohen of Silence descends once more...

You both mean "might". "May" is to grant permission. Technically speaking…

More detail on the Sirius gig:

"The reunited Beach Boys will perform a special concert for SiriusXM listeners days before the band's global "50th Anniversary Tour" kicks off, as part of SiriusXM's "Artist Confidential" series.

The "Artist Confidential" will feature the Beach Boys performing songs from their five-decade career and music from their new album, scheduled to be released this summer; and talking with SiriusXM host Jim Ladd about their upcoming "50th Anniversary Tour."

The special performance, scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 19, will debut on SiriusXM during its "Beach Boys Endless Summer Weekend," the four-day special featuring music by the Beach Boys and other sounds of summer from the 1960s.

The "Beach Boys Endless Summer Weekend" will air over Memorial Day Weekend: Friday, May 25 at 6:00 pm ET through Monday, May 28 on '60s on 6, channel 6. The "Artist Confidential" will air on Saturday, May 26 at 12:00 pm ET. "

No, I meant "May".  Surely you've heard of the word "Maybe", which destroys your grammar lesson? 

May is also used to express possibility, not just permission.  Where'd you go to school? 

Also, doesn't that make you wrong twice?  Or thrice?  Once for being simply wrong about what you were saying, and then once again for saying I was wrong when I wasn't, and once again for saying he was wrong when he wasn't? 

Sounds like 3 apologies are necessary.  Maybe, Maybe not.  LOL

Is anyone able to record it ?

Just a reminder for tomorrow. Please someone !  :angel:

I wonder if they'll be playing cuts from the new CD over the weekend.

You can get the free sirius trial and listen online live..

That's what I'm going to do

I'll be listening to this. It's on Sirius Channel 6 (60's on 6). DJ Uncle Brucie said yesterday that two of the Beach Boys have committed to showing up to the studio - not sure which day. Deep tracks and rarities will also be played.

but when exactly is the concert to be played? over and over?  I will have to drive all lover LA; I did not get the Sirius for internet use--car only.

I will listen to it all the way to the SB show Monday!

I'm in Germany and unfortunately don't have un-limited access to a computer today and tomorrow. So if anyone records this, please let me know. I missed the second of two Mike&Bruce new years eve performances and don't want to miss this reunion concert

When is it going to start?? It's 10:30 am EST and still no beach boys on 60s on 6!!!!!!

looks like it started at noon PST--listening to surfin now, but it's not wall to wall BB--more of an every other song thing, so don't be confused if you hear the Troggs or the Archies--the BB are always "next" so far.

i'm amazed at some of the cuts played so far. nothing deep but stuff i swear i haven't heard since the XM days...

Sail On Sailor, I Can Hear Music, Wild Honey.

Someone just has to record this.
Does anyone know if it will be archived for later listening ?
