Why would they not choose the Hollywood Bowl

That show is going to be so special it's deserves to be pro shot

Hopefully this will be one of many filmed.  When I met Mike last month I asked if the Beacon shows would be filmed and he said "a whole bunch of different ones are being filmed."  He wasn't specific but since we know that they were filming on opening night at Tuscon and now this PBS special...he seems to be right.

Wow. Sweet. I will be there. Hopefully the presence of PBS cameras will make the performance even better!

One thing to keep in mind is that PBS likes to air concerts on their network and tie them in with some kind of annual pledge drive which means the DVD sold by them could be expensive ($50-100). Also it might be a while before the DVD is finally availalbe in stores.  PBS aired Paul Simon's concert at Webster Hall in New York City last year and they apparently have a specific license to air it only on PBS until 2013...so fans like me have to wait a long while till we're able to buy it elsewhere.

You've got to scream something inside that only we would know.  It may make it onto a dvd or cd, too, you know.

It'll only be good if you do it in a drunken voice, until somebody hauls you out.  Don't sweat it, you can always watch the video because ITS GOING TO BE ON PBS. 

So "PLAY FREEEBIRRRRD"!!! "WHOOO FREEBIRD, I WANNA HEAR FREEBIRD!!!!!" then try to get a Freebird chant going, then while they're dragging you to the lobby, keep holding one long note so we can hear you fade away "FREEEEEBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddddddddddddddddddd"

AUTOTUUUNNNNEEE!

And I will not be thrown out of this, that'll have to be up to someone else. This will be my first BBs concert, so they'll have to bring the firing squad in to get me out. ;D

According to the article, this is one of two venues being filmed and that Hollywood bowl was scouted, maybe they thought it would be difficult to film there

I was hoping there would be some special guests for the Hollywood Bowl show, that would come on stage and sing with the group.

do we know of other filming in preparation for a for-sale DVD unrelated to the PBS one?  Cream, for example, put out a DVD of their Albert Hall shows. Did I not hear of one being produced from the BB shows?

thanks

I don't think there's been an official announcement. All we've heard about so far is the PBS doc in June, and it sounds like they're going to film a concert for an accompanying special. It's hard to imagine a concert DVD would be an entirely separate thing -- it might be a different edit, have more material, etc.

I do believe, that on the thread for tonights show, the gentleman that attended the show saw a sign posted informing everybody that tonight's show was being filmed. 

So it sounds like they're filming a lot of the shows, and somebody mentioned something about hearing the first show was filmed as well. 

Really in this day and age, it probably wouldn't add to much to the cost to film EVERY show.

So, I gather this PBS special (Live from the St. Augustine Amphitheatre) is a separate entity from the PBS "Front Row Center" broadcast on June 7th (Summer's Gone)?

Request "Orange Crate Art." I heard a guy shout that out in 1996  and Mike told him " we don't do that one," in a really pissy voice!

The story below gives more details on this PBS special.

http://staugustine.com/news/local-news/2012-05-02#.T6ML_OhYuuw

My understanding,  'the footage, “Live from the St. Augustine Amphitheatre,” will be part of a Beach Boys special planned to be nationally syndicated and aired on PBS on June 7.'

However a 2 hour special is also in the works...




Special planned
 
Thomas, who has worked extensively with Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson, said some of the footage from St. Augustine will also be included in a longer, 2-hour special, “The Beach Boys: Summer’s Gone,” which documents the group’s efforts to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a look back at their career. It features never-before-seen archival concert footage, plus songs from their new album, “That’s Why God Made the Radio.”
 
“These guys have been doing this for a long time,” Thomas said. “And their market appeal is still very strong, with at least three generations of music fans plugging into it. This really is a celebration.”

...so I'm hearing a 1 hour standard PBS show and a 2 hour special (plus DVD maybe?) to follow? If so the 2 hour deal will be great!

Yech. I reserved judgment on Joe Thomas, but actually saying "And their market appeal is still very strong" sound so obnoxious and 80s ponytail-ish, I have decided he's basically evil and a bad influence on Our Brian. He shouldn't hang around with bad seeds like that!

I've been checking around and I can't find Front Row Center on either of the PBS stations in the Philadelphia area. It seems that the two New York stations that sponsor it are the only ones advertising and showing it. Has anyone else had problems finding this weekly spring show in your areas?

I have just discovered that the only station in the Atlanta viewing area that's carrying Front Row Center is Channel 30, which is the independent local station and isn't carried by my cable provider. I live far enough away from the ATL that I can't pick up Channel 30 over the air. We can only get Channel 8, which is the state PBS network and the main provider of PBS programming.

I guess I'll have to wait until some pledge drive several years in the future to see this show.  :'(

Shout out to WTTW:  your "window to the world"..my home town 8)


I'm sorta looking forward to this and not really looking forward to this special...the small clips I've seen of the concert footage looks ridiculously bland.  Absolutely lifeless shooting and completely does the live show a complete disservice.  Huge shame.  I hope the other shows they filmed on the tour is a bit more vibrant than the PBS footage.

The show still doesn't appear in the schedules for the Washington DC PBS stations (WETA, WHUT, Maryland Public Television). I have the feeling if it airs on them it would be sometime in August.

Really surprised there's been so little talk about it or a copy online... I agree, tho -- the clips I've seen look wretchedly stiff. Really a strange choice for a program that highlights live performance to do it's best not to present the power of a live performance properly. I caught one of the other Front Row Centers and it was equally tepid.

Ok, I guess I'm not surprised there's so little talk about it, then.
